Outlook and Challenges
The Indian auto industry showed strong growth with domestic sales up 10.40% and exports growing 24.00%. While expecting moderated growth of 5-8% in FY2026-27, Pricol remains well-positioned in 2-wheeler, commercial vehicle, tractor, and off-road vehicle segments, with opportunities from increasing content per vehicle, electrification transition, and export growth, though facing risks from commodity price volatility and geopolitical tensions.
