For the year F2018, improvement in overall economic sentiment, two consecutive years of normal monsoon, Government’s focus on development of Agri and Rural sectors, with continued investment in Infrastructure, coupled with easy availability of affordable finance, helped drive the demand for the automotive as well as the tractor industry.
For Q4 F2018, the domestic auto industry (excluding 2W) grew 19%, with the passenger vehicles reporting a growth of 7% and the UV segment a growth of 25%. The domestic tractor industry witnessed a very high growth of 44%. In Q4 F2018, the domestic Automotive volume for the company grew 20% while the domestic tractor volumes grew 44%.
For the full year F2018, the company continued to be the 3rd largest passenger vehicle company, the 2nd largest commercial vehicle company and the largest small commercial vehicle (LCV < 3.5T) company in India. Domestic sales crossed the 5,00,000 mark after a gap of five years. The company achieved its highest ever sales for Scorpio and Pik-Ups this year and Bolero volumes crossed 1 million since launch. Also, in F2018, the company recorded its highest ever tractor volumes for both domestic and export, and retained the leadership position for the 35th consecutive year.
Outlook:
Economic activity is expected to gather pace as the transitory effects of implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) recede. This outlook will also be lifted by tailwinds from normal rainfall with the weather bureau forecasting a ‘normal’ monsoon for the third successive year in its first stage long range forecast. While the spatial and temporal distribution remain to be seen, well spread out rainfall is likely to have a salutary impact on the overall demand conditions. However, rising crude oil prices, which have already risen noticeably, call for greater prudence.
Global growth backdrop too remains benign with the synchronised cyclical rebound. However, escalation in geo-political risks, trade frictions, tightening monetary conditions, and higher crude oil prices could pose downside risks to global trade and demand growth outlook.
