For trucks, the automaker had said it plans to accelerate growth through its MY26 portfolio, higher-payload trucks and battery electric vehicle (BEV) expansion. In the CV Passenger segment, the company plans to execute around 4,500 government, defence and STU orders, including 850 e-buses, while sustaining Magic and tender momentum.
