What our leaders had to say

With better availability of semi-conductors, we hope to build the volume growth momentum in Q4 F22 in our journey to being No. 1 in core SUVs. FES gained 140 basis points market share YOY in Q3 F22 and delivered robust financial metrics despite market slowdown and steep commodity inflation.”
