On an year to date basis, the total sales (including exports) works out to 10,883 compared to 12,582 in April-August 1999, a decline of 14 per cent in volume terms. Previous period figures include army sales to the tune of 1,693 units. Current period figures do not reflect army sales as they are done in completely knocked down form, according to company officials.

In the MDV goods category, production was 1,491 units, local sales 1,197 and exports 108 units. About 94 light commercial vehicles (LCVs) units were produced and 30 were sold locally.
