Commenting on the Q1 performance, Rajesh Menon, Director General, SIAM said,  “... Recently the government has taken significant measures to ease the inflationary pressure and help the common man by reducing central excise duty on petrol and diesel and changing the duty structure to moderate prices of steel and plastic. Indian Automobile Industry appreciates and thanks the government for these efforts."
