A long way to go ahead:

The auto industry was under pressure in the last quarter due to a shortage of semi-conductors, rising commodity prices on account of inflation, and supply chain disruptions. However, the volumes have increased this year as the economy is stabilising. The company has witnessed consistent improvement in all the sectors, which indicates that the mobility industry is revisable and in its growth stage. The growth catalysts will be  OEM offtake, an improving demand scenario, strong aftermarket demand, and increased wallet share with its major customers. The key highlights for Q1 FY23 are normal economic activity, healthy retail sales, demand in the PV segment amid new launches in the SUV domain, a reduction in excise duty, and a reduction in key raw material prices towards the end of the quarter April-May 2022.

The increasing demand for safety and comfort requirements in automobiles is paving the way for companies focused on supplying import-substitute products. With the high growth forecast in the vehicle industry, the auto component sector is anticipated to rise twice in FY 2022–23. The government’s recent announcements of PLI schemes regarding ACC Batteries and Auto & Auto Components are expected to pave the way ahead for the creation of an automotive value chain.
