The company also conducted over 8,00,000 inspections and valuations across segments through its 100% subsidiary Adroit Auto.

Sameer Malhotra, Director and CEO, Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) said “We are delighted to get such an overwhelming response during the entire year despite such difficult market conditions.
