Mumbai, May 29 (IBNS): The Board of Directors of Mahindra and Mahindra Limited (the company or M&M) on Friday announced the financial results for the quarter ended 31st March 2015 of the company and the audited results for the year ended 31st March 2015 for the company and the consolidated Mahindra Group.
Mahindra Vehicle Manufacturers Limited (MVML), was set up as a 100% subsidiary of the company with a view to sourcing contemporary products for expanding the market offerings of the company.

In F2015, The Indian Auto Industry, especially Passenger Vehicles (PV) has shown signs of revival, but this has been patchy. The car segment growth is largely driven by new launches, while the UV segment growth reflects the market shift towards compact UVs attracting lower excise rates. The < 2T LCV industry continues to shrink and the 2 to 3.5T LCV industry (Pickups) suffered due to slowdown in Agri incomes and finance availability. The medium and heavy commercial vehicles (MHCV) goods segment, grew on back of pickup in economic growth and thrust on infrastructure projects. In Q4 F2015, sales were somewhat impacted due to rollback of excise duty concession w.e.f 1st January 2015. In Q4 F2015, unseasonal rains and hail storms in various parts of the country caused crop damage. The crop damage, coupled with subdued crop prices resulted in loss of Agri incomes which in turn created a negative sentiment in the farming community.
