However, the company witnessed a decrease of 2.32 percent in its exports during the month at 19,657 units as compare to the 20,121 units sold in same period last year. Mr Arvind Saxena, Director (Marketing and Sales), HMIL, said in a statement that although the market continues to grow, company was constrained by its planned annual maintenance shutdown (at the Chennai plants) this month which restricted its numbers as we had to divert our export production to meet the demand for the domestic market.
