"We are happy to achieve a growth of 4 per cent in utility vehicles, despite certain supply constraints.

For Mahindra, the festive season has started on a positive note with deliveries and bookings being higher than last year, he added. "Going forward, this augurs well for a robust festive demand which in turn will help the industry in the short term," Nakra said.
