Arun Agarwal – Deputy Vice President, Kotak Securities on the auto sector:
In the month of May 2022, most auto manufacturers reported yoy and qoq increase in their wholesale dispatches. On a YoY basis, growth was high due to low base (May 2021 volume were impacted due to Covid related disruptions). For the passenger vehicle segment, strong demand was partly offset by supply-chain related issues. Domestic two wheeler industry volumes increased over April 2022 benefiting from wedding season. Commercial vehicle segment remained on a strong footing and we expect the medium & heavy commercial vehicle segment recovery to continue. Tractor segment performance was strong, led by better price realizations for crops. Timely arrival of monsoon coupled with normal monsoon forecast augurs well for tractor demand.
