Auto Sector Margins Expected to Improve Post-Q2 Amid El Niño and West Asia Risks
Automobile sector margins in India are expected to improve gradually after the second quarter of FY27 as manufacturers raise prices to offset higher commodity costs, according to a Motilal Oswal Financial Services report. Strong sales growth was observed across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers in the second quarter, supported by a favorable base and festive season demand. However, risks remain from potential El Niño effects and escalating West Asia tensions, which could impact the sector's outlook.
