The fact that the Nexon maker decided to pass on full benefit of GST rate cut to buyers has led to a sharp surge in showroom walk-ins, higher conversions and a growing order book, according to Amit Kamat, chief commercial officer at Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd.

“Our dealerships are opening early and extending working hours to cater to the festive rush,” he said. “The response to our portfolio is phenomenal, especially for bestsellers Nexon and Punch.”

"With a strong pipeline of bookings and scheduled deliveries, we are fully geared to meet the festive demand and are optimistic about setting new records this festive season.”
