Rahul Bharti, senior executive officer at the carmaker admitted the situation in the Middle East has "slightly worsened" in recent weeks. "We were using an alternate route, now even that alternate route has a bit of a problem with the recent most developments. Having said that, the customers in those countries are still buying cars, and we are still finding ways of reaching them through alternate routes. So, this number (growth in exports) is despite the increased challenges", Bharti said.
