The company on Thursday unveiled the refreshed Altroz to reinforce its position in the premium hatchback segment. It also plans to launch the Harrier.ev next month, followed by the much-anticipated Sierra SUV later this year.鈥淭he overall PV industry is projected to grow by just 4 to 5 per cent this fiscal.
