Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd has launched the BS 6 variant of Alfa, its flagship 3-wheeler brand. The Alfa brand is known to be the most fuel efficient in its category and offers a range of passenger & cargo variants with 4 offerings catering to varied customer segments.

According to Veejay Nakra, CEO – Automotive Division, M&M Ltd. “…There has been some delay in launching our BS6 range of 3 wheelers, given the supply chain disruptions due to Covid-19.

With these launches we are confident to regain our spot amongst the top 3 players in the 3-wheeler segment.”
