Kolkata: Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), which recently forayed in the two-wheeler segment, is optimistic about the opportunities that the scooters segment presents, a company official said.
“The scooter industry is growing at a very fast rate and we see a good demand growth", M&M vice president (sales and customer care Dharmendra Mishra told reporters on Monday.
