Srivats Ram, Managing Director, Wheels India Ltd., said, “While there was a severe slowdown in the CV and PV industry affecting the automotive component business, it was partially offset by strong growth in the industrial component business.”

 “The truck industry had a quarter of severe slowing down accompanied by a similar trend in the light vehicle and construction equipment industry. There are signs of slowing global demand affecting our business. At the same time, we have been able to grow our bus air suspension business and our railway and windmill business, where we have started executing some export opportunities.”
