Goldman Sachs Reports Fuel Price Stability May Boost Demand for Select Vehicle Categories in India
A Goldman Sachs report indicates that demand for scooters, premium motorcycles, and entry-level cars in India could recover more quickly if fuel prices remain stable, based on analysis of six past fuel-price inflation cycles over the last decade. The report notes commercial vehicle demand typically recovers more slowly. It also highlights risks from a below-normal southwest monsoon start, which may affect rural demand for tractors and entry-level motorcycles in the latter half of FY27.
