“The definition of personal mobility has changed dramatically.” Vivek Chaand Sehgal, the company’s chairman, told BloombergQuint in an interview. “Once people have the confidence to go out, they will make a beeline for buying cars, bikes, or any personal mobility. Your car or bike is the safest personal vehicle to travel and to commute.”
Upfront infusion of funds in public sectors will help drive demand in the auto sector, Sehgal said. Globally and locally, governments and central banks have boosted liquidity and offered fiscal stimulus, putting money in the hands of citizens.
