The background Celebrating the performance of OEMs and ancillary manufacturers, it is our endeavour to commemorate the operational excellence demonstrated by fleet operators and dealers too. Staging a recovery after coming off a tough fiscal judged as the toughest year in the history of the Indian CV industry ever, the resources allocated for sustenance are gradually being freed up for development and recovery leading to growth. The Month-over-Month (MoM) sequential improvement barring a few exceptions has the industry walking the right path ahead of an anticipated cyclical uptick. Bharat Stage VI is more mature today and the industry is better equipped than it was previously. With significant changes to tackle, the CV industry must be credited for bringing about drastic changes. It shed weight in a hurry, in terms of manpower, processes and more. It went back to the drawing board to redesign even the most shock-proof strategies. With the renewed freight availability and improving freight rates, transporters are hopeful of greener pastures again. Albeit there is a journey to be traversed to get to this point. Marking the arrival of a technologically advanced and greener generation of higher utility and profit-oriented CVs, the CV industry is looking ahead with lessons of a lifetime learned in a tough last fiscal. The industry has learnt to live with Covid-19, uncertainty and cope better.
