Truck makers face supply crunch as vendors hold off on investment plans

Date posted: Monday 2 July 2018

Component manufacturers are shying away from making long-term investments because the market scenario post the implementation of Bharat Stage VI (BS VI) emission norms in April 2020 is uncertain.
