Exciting Growth Ahead in India’s Auto Sector 🚗
The auto sector in India is gearing up for some strong action in the coming days. A recent report by Crisil predicts that the automotive component sector will grow by 7-9% during the financial year 2026. This growth is mainly driven by the rising demand for two-wheelers and passenger vehicles, which account for nearly half of the total revenue.
Commercial Vehicles and Aftermarket Boost 📈
The report also highlights a slight increase in sales of commercial vehicles and tractors, which hold a 17% share in the market. Moreover, the aftermarket segment is expected to see a steady rise of 5-7%, contributing 15% to the overall revenue.
Challenges from Global Markets 🌍
However, there is a challenge as demand for new vehicles in the US and Europe has weakened. These regions make up about 60% of India’s exports, which could create tough conditions ahead.
Stable Margins and Input Costs 💰
On a positive note, operational margins are stable at 12-12.5%. This stability is supported by high-margin components like ADAS modules and infotainment systems. The reduction in input costs, especially for steel and aluminum, will also help improve profitability.
Impact of New Tariffs 🚧
The report warns that new tariffs may pressure the margins of companies heavily involved in exports. However, strict control over working capital can help maintain a stable credit profile.
Focus on Electric Vehicles ⚡
Even though electric vehicles (EVs) currently contribute only 5% to total revenue, the sector’s credit outlook remains stable due to strong cash flow and minimal debt increase, alongside significant investments in EV capabilities.
This report indicates that while challenges exist, the auto sector in India is on a promising growth path.
