Hindustan Motors recently announced that they are aiming for a five fold rise in sales of vehicles to around 50,000 units by 2013-14 that would help HM to turnaround.
The MD of the company, Manoj Jha, said that they are expecting an increase in sales following their recent new launches. By the fiscal year 2013-14 they hope to sell around 50,000 units. The company had managed to sell around 10,000 units in the previous fiscal year.
