BSE Auto Sector Regulatory Filings — July 02, 2026

Record Q1 sales of 16.31 lakh units, with June 2026 sales surging 47% YoY. Two-wheeler EV sales grew an exponential 237% YoY to 48,537 units, signaling dominant market share gains in the EV transition. International business also grew 47% YoY

Inauguration of Kharkhoda plant adds 0.5 million units capacity, with a planned scale-up to 1 million units. Total capacity expected to reach 2.9 million units by FY27, representing a ~40% increase from current levels. This positions Maruti to capture the next wave of domestic demand

June 2026 sales grew 28% YoY, driven by a 47% surge in exports. However, sequential MoM sales declined ~4% from May 2026, and Q1 domestic two-wheeler growth of 11% lagged the 52% export surge, indicating a potential domestic demand plateau

Disbursements grew ~21% YoY to Rs. 15,560 crore, with Business Assets up ~12% YoY. Stage-3 assets improved YoY from 3.8% to 3.4-3.5%, and Stage-2 from 5.9% to 4.9-5.0%, showing improving credit quality. A liquidity chest of Rs. 14,600+ crore provides a strong buffer

Q1 FY27 wholesale volumes fell 9.2% YoY and 16.8% QoQ, with retail sales down 15.3% YoY. The supplier fire and Middle East conflict are temporary, but the Jaguar wind-down is structural. The silver lining is the premium model mix improving to 80.8% of wholesale (from 77.2% YoY), supporting margins despite lower volumes

Dissolution of a non-operating Shanghai subsidiary with negligible revenue (INR 5 Cr) and net worth (INR 2.5 Cr) is a clean-up move with zero impact on consolidated financials. This signals disciplined capital allocation and portfolio rationalization

Launch of the Callisto 110 scooter in Indonesia, targeting the ~50% market share 110cc segment. The special launch price and first-in-class features (Auto-off Turn Signal, Emergency Brake Warning) indicate a strategic push to gain market share in Southeast Asia's largest two-wheeler market

Reaffirmation of 'CARE AAA; Stable' rating on all major debt instruments (total ~Rs. 19,131 Cr) confirms strong creditworthiness. The reduction in debt amounts due to redemptions (NCDs reduced by Rs. 657 Cr) signals deleveraging

A fire at a major component supplier caused a 9.2% YoY drop in wholesale volumes. While temporary, the 16.8% QoQ decline suggests the impact was severe and may take another quarter to fully resolve

The Middle East conflict led to a 41.5% YoY drop in retail sales in the MENA region, the steepest decline across all markets. This region is a key growth driver for luxury SUVs, and continued instability could further pressure volumes

While Stage-3 assets improved YoY, they increased slightly from 3.4% (March 2026) to 3.4-3.5% (June 2026). Stage-2 assets also rose from 4.8% to 4.9-5.0% over the same period, indicating a sequential deterioration in the loan book that warrants monitoring

June 2026 sales of 463,202 units represent a ~4% decline from May 2026 (482,655 units). While YoY growth is strong, the MoM dip could signal demand softening or inventory destocking ahead of the festive season

Domestic commercial vehicle growth at just 10% YoY was the weakest segment in June 2026, lagging two-wheeler domestic growth of 12%. This could indicate slowing demand in the commercial segment, which is more sensitive to economic cycles

The planned wind-down of outgoing Jaguar models ahead of the Type 01 launch is a structural headwind. Retail sales in all markets declined, with no region showing growth, suggesting the brand transition is creating a sales vacuum

The AGM announcement is a routine procedural filing with no material business impact. Investors should not read any significance into this event

With 237% YoY growth in two-wheeler EV sales (48,537 units in June 2026 alone), TVS is capturing a disproportionate share of the EV transition. The Deming Prize and J.D. Power rankings underscore quality leadership, which is a key differentiator in the EV market

The Kharkhoda plant inauguration marks the beginning of a major capacity expansion cycle. With total capacity set to reach 2.9 million units by FY27, Maruti is well-positioned to benefit from the expected recovery in rural demand and the shift towards personal mobility

Exports surged 47% YoY in June 2026, and Q1 exports grew 52% YoY. If this trend sustains, Bajaj is a direct beneficiary of the recovery in African, Asian, and Latin American markets, which have been depressed for the past 2-3 years

With 'CARE AAA; Stable' rating on ~Rs. 19,131 Cr of debt instruments and a liquidity chest of Rs. 14,600+ Cr, the company offers a safe haven for fixed-income investors. The 21% YoY disbursement growth also signals strong underlying demand for vehicle financing

The launch of the Callisto 110 scooter in Indonesia, targeting the 110cc segment (50% of the market), is a strategic move to gain share in the world's third-largest two-wheeler market. The special launch price and feature-rich offering could drive significant volume upside

Despite volume declines, the premium model mix (Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Defender) improved to 80.8% of wholesale volumes from 77.2% a year ago. This mix shift supports higher realizations and margins, and the supplier fire impact is likely transient

The Kharkhoda plant is a zero liquid discharge facility with 100% renewable energy for electricity and an in-plant railway siding for logistics. This positions Maruti as a leader in sustainable manufacturing, which could attract ESG-focused investors and reduce long-term operating costs

TVS Motor (47% YoY growth in June, 237% EV growth) and Bajaj Auto (28% YoY growth, 47% export surge) are driving the sector. The two-wheeler segment is outperforming four-wheelers, with EV adoption accelerating rapidly, particularly for TVS which is capturing a disproportionate share of the EV market

Both Bajaj Auto (47% YoY export growth in June, 52% in Q1) and TVS Motor (47% YoY international business growth in June) are seeing a strong export rebound. This is a key theme as global markets recover from post-pandemic slowdowns, benefiting Indian auto companies with strong export footprints

JLR's experience highlights a key sector dynamic: while premium model mix is improving (80.8% of wholesale from 77.2% YoY), overall volumes are under pressure from supply chain disruptions and geopolitical issues. This suggests that luxury OEMs may face more volatility than mass-market players

Maruti Suzuki's Kharkhoda plant (0.5 million units, scaling to 1 million) signals a new capacity expansion cycle in the Indian auto industry. With total capacity expected to reach 2.9 million units by FY27, Maruti is investing aggressively to capture the next wave of demand, which could pressure competitors to follow suit

Mahindra Finance shows improving YoY asset quality (Stage-3 down from 3.8% to 3.4-3.5%) but a slight sequential deterioration (Stage-3 up from 3.4% in March 2026). This suggests that while the overall credit environment is improving, the pace of improvement may be slowing, and lenders need to remain vigilant

Watch for recovery in wholesale and retail volumes as the supplier fire impact is resolved. The earnings call (likely late July/early August) will be critical to assess the timeline for normalization and the Jaguar Type 01 launch update

The MoM decline of ~4% in June 2026 needs monitoring. If July 2026 sales also show a sequential decline, it could indicate a broader demand slowdown. Watch for commentary on inventory levels and festive season expectations

The sequential increase in Stage-2 (4.8% to 4.9-5.0%) and Stage-3 (3.4% to 3.4-3.5%) assets warrants close monitoring in Q2 FY27. Any further deterioration could signal stress in the rural economy, which is key for M&M group companies

Watch for updates on the ramp-up of the Kharkhoda plant to 0.5 million units and the timeline for scaling to 1 million. Also monitor the commissioning of the fourth production plant at Hansalpur, which will take total capacity to 2.9 million units by FY27

The Callisto 110 launch in Indonesia is a key strategic move. Watch for monthly sales data from Indonesia to assess market share gains in the 110cc segment. Success here could open up a significant new revenue stream

While the AGM is routine, watch for any shareholder resolutions or management commentary on growth plans, particularly in the EV components space. The AGM is scheduled for July 31, 2026
