Bajaj Auto shares fall 8.3% as September sales weigh on auto stocks
Bajaj Auto fell 8.3%, Escorts Kubota slipped 6% and M&M dropped 2.7% as weak domestic two-wheeler and tractor volumes weighed on September sales sentiment, despite M&M’s 15% vehicle sales growth.

Bajaj Auto’s 8.3% drop and M&M’s 2.7% decline despite 15% vehicle-sales growth suggest sector sentiment is overshadowing company-level performance.
What to watch next
- Bajaj Auto's next domestic two-wheeler sales release
- New Bajaj Auto dealer discounts or financing offers
- Escorts Kubota's next tractor-volume report
- M&M's share performance following its next vehicle-sales update
- Company commentary on dealer inventories and incentive costs
The counter-case
The headline may overstate a sales-driven explanation for the selloff. M&M fell despite 15% vehicle-sales growth, suggesting broader sector sentiment or unmet expectations could matter more than outright demand weakness. Automotive sales figures alone also do not establish a broader retail slowdown.
