A further rise in interest rates could stem the volume momentum, however we expect demand for new products to remain strong
Lack of product launches by competitors in the near term will help MUL to maintain its market share

Severe competition in 2010, will put pressure on volumes and profitability. Although there will be a drop in market share for MUL, we expect MUL to continue to remain a formidable player
Exports to Suzuki will act as a cushion, in case volumes show any negative surprises in the domestic market
Royalty payments to Suzuki, could be a major issue in the future
