- Tekton order intake, repeat export orders and announcements of new destination markets.
- Plant utilization, supplier localization announcements and any model-production expansion commitments.
- Dealer additions, dealer throughput and inventory-days trends.
- Increase Tekton export allocations to South Africa, Bhutan and Nepal and assess additional right-hand-drive export markets.
