What to watch

  • RBI rate direction, auto-loan affordability and broader urban consumer-demand indicators.
  • Prioritise two high-volume SUV launches in fast-growing compact and mid-SUV segments, using feature upgrades and variant pricing to defend against Tata, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki and Kia.
  • Increase Pune plant ramp-up and supplier localisation, particularly for EV powertrain, battery-pack, electronics and high-value components.
  • Use Chennai and Pune capacity to expand exports, reducing dependence on domestic demand and improving plant utilisation.
  • Strengthen dealer readiness for EV sales through charging partnerships, technician training, finance products, battery warranties and trade-in assurances.
