Though the financial year 2025-26started on an optimistic note, auto
industry continues to keep a close watchon geo-political developments, globaltariff impact, fuel prices and inflation.Supply chain of parts continues to be anorca of concern. The Financial Year2025-26 is expected to witnessmoderate growth in single digit owingto the high base effect of previous year,inflationary pressures, routine pricehikes and regulatory changes. TheCompany is expecting a year ofconsolidation for the Indian autoindustry with an overall single digitgrowth over the previous year thatshould auger well for the Company.
The Indian Auto Industry is poised forgrowth amidst a mix of optimism andchallenges. Manufacturers are gearingup with better supply chains and anarray of models to meet diverseconsumer demands. Economic growthfavorable government policies and ananticipated good monsoon is expectedto fuel demand, especially in rural orcasand the commercial vehicle sector,which is closely linked to infrastructureprojects and economic activity,including the automobile sector.
Multiple Government reforms continueto boost the auto sector such as,production incentive scheme (PLI),vehicle scrappage policy, which aim toreduce the number of old and defectivevehicles, bringing down vehicular airpollutants, improving road andvehicular safety, all these interventionswill have significant long-termperspective.
However, the auto sector is stillgrappling with fluctuating raw materialprices of steel, aluminum, copper,precious metals and increasing fuelprices which are likely to impact thegrowth and fuel mix aspect of theautomobile sector. Thus, this year islikely to be a challenging year for theauto component industry.
The Company will endeavor to revitalizein near future as demand for vehicleswitnesses further growth. To remaincompetitive in the challenging anddemanding environment, thebenchmark needs to be kept high inanticipation of the stated and unstatedneeds of customers and markets.
