The units sold in April this year are not comparable with April 2020, since no vehicles were sold last year in the domestic market due to COVID related lockdown.

The company will be launching the XUV700 in Q2 this year 

Veejay Nakra, Chief Executive Officer, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd., "The month of April registered a growth of 9.5% in our passenger vehicles segment as compared to March 2021. With the increase in lockdown restrictions in many parts of the country we foresee continuing supply chain related production challenges. While demand remains good, there would be some impact in the first quarter as a result of low customer movement and dealership activity due to the lockdown restrictions."

The company has already said that it will be launching the XUV700 in the market in Q2 this year and there is possibility that we will see the eKUV100 electric car make it to the market as well.
