Commercial vehicle sales in India could take longer to recover than expected: Ind-Ra

28 Dec 2020 Evaluate

Raising some concerns over the recovery of the auto sector, credit rating agency India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) in its latest report has said that commercial vehicle sales in India could take longer to recover than expected despite improving macro-economic indicators.

As per the report, the light commercial vehicles (LCVs) segment has started to recover as they provide last mile connectivity and because of increased e-commerce activities but medium and heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) sales are unlikely to recover before the fourth quarter of 2021-22.

Ind-Ra reiterated that MHCV sales could decline by 35-45 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) in FY21, though the decline in LCV sales is likely to be contained within 20-25 per cent. The rating agency further said that in FY22, the industry could see sales growth in double digits, especially due to the low base of FY20-FY21.
