Ford India shipped 1,053 units in January while it sold 1,652 units in January 2012 posting a loss of 36.26 per cent. Vinay Piparsania, the Executive Director, Marketing Sales and Service commented that the current scenario in the automotive segment can be improved if the government of India rolls out regulatory policies that help in recouping the growth rate of the automotive segment. Shortening the wide gap between the petrol price and diesel price along with fall in the repo rate by RBI are some of the positive steps.
