The past several months were quite tough for the Indian market as the nation was struggling with the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although the automotive industry has resumed its sales and plant operations, the market is yet to recover from the impact of the lockdown.

The carmaker has cited rising input costs as the reason behind it.
