adopted a skeptical view in launching a new car in the luxury hatchback segment and most of the

cars are being launched in the hatchback segment.

foreign exchange rates mainly of import of components & raw materials and export of

company manages the exchange risk by using appropriate hedge instruments depending

on the prevailing market conditions and the view on the currency.
