ICRA Projects 4-6% Growth in Domestic Commercial Vehicle Volumes for FY27
The domestic commercial vehicle industry in India is projected to grow wholesale volumes by 4-6% year-on-year in fiscal year 2027, according to ratings agency ICRA. Despite a strong 30.7% growth in August wholesale volumes, a broadened base effect may cause a contraction in the second half of FY27. Growth is expected across medium and heavy commercial vehicles (1-3%), light commercial vehicles (6-8%), and buses (3-5%). Demand is supported by infrastructure, mining, e-commerce logistics, and financing availability, though elevated ownership costs remain a challenge.
