This, coupled with our renewed focus on savings programme should also help in improving our margin profile going forward.

We are excited about our EV programme, with Vida being established as premium and aspirational brand. We are planning to roll this out across multiple cities in FY 24. Our R&D teams are working on accelerated portfolio expansion as well, in the EV space.
