On the sales performance, Mr Jyoti Malhotra, Managing Director, Volvo Car India said, "Volvo Car India said "A 52% growth in the high-end luxury mobility during a highly depressed consumer sentiment phase and major covid restrictions in the marketplace shows the confidence that the Indian consumer has in Brand Volvo. Despite uncertain conditions, it has been a good first half for the company giving us a strong base as we move forward in the year and bring new products to our consumers."
