Vijay Kedia Buys Fresh Stake Worth ₹14.1 Cr in an Auto Ancillary Stock; Do You Hold It? Vijay Kedia, a prominent investor, has recently acquired a fresh stake in Precision Camshafts Ltd, investing ₹14.1 crore to secure a 1.1% ownership in the company. This move underscores renewed confidence in the auto ancillary sector, which has been experiencing strong demand and export growth. Kedia’s investment aligns with his broader portfolio of 18 stocks, collectively valued at over ₹1,107.8 crore. The decision highlights the sector’s potential for long-term recovery and growth, particularly as the company navigates a mix of challenges and opportunities. Precision Camshafts Ltd, a leading manufacturer of camshafts and critical engine components, reported a mixed financial performance in recent months. While revenue declined by 8.1% to ₹178.68 crore from ₹194.55 crore in the previous year, the company turned a profit of ₹9.21 crore, up from a loss of ₹6.36 crore. This improvement reflects better cost control, operational efficiency, and margin recovery despite lower top-line growth. The company’s operating profit rose from ₹8.15 crore in December 2024 to ₹14.42 crore in December 2025, with operating profit margin (OPM) increasing from 4.19% to 8.07%. These figures indicate a gradual recovery in profitability, though the company’s margins remain below earlier peak levels. The auto ancillary sector in India is currently riding strong demand and export growth, with FY2026 turnover surpassing ₹3.5–3.6 lakh crore. Components exports reached approximately $24–25 billion for the full year, driven by robust OEM production and rising global outsourcing.#tata_motors #maruti_suzuki #vijay_kedia #precision_camshafts_ltd #solapur
Maruti Suzuki March 2026 Sales Rise 5%; FY26 Volumes Up 3% YoY In March 2026, Maruti Suzuki India recorded a 5% year-on-year increase in sales, with total units sold reaching 2,25,251 compared to 1,92,984 in the same month of the previous year. This growth was driven by strong domestic demand, a surge in exports, and increased sales to other original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The company’s performance for the month highlights its continued dominance in the Indian passenger vehicle market and its expanding presence in global markets. Domestic sales for March 2026 totaled 1,69,428 units, while exports rose to 47,040 units, marking a significant contribution to the company’s overall growth. Sales to other OEMs reached 8,783 units, reflecting Maruti’s role as a key supplier to the automotive industry. The month-on-month increase underscores sustained demand for its compact passenger vehicles and improved utilization of export capacity at its manufacturing facilities. For the full financial year 2025-26, Maruti Suzuki reported total sales of 24,22,713 units, representing a 3% year-on-year rise compared to FY25. This marks the third consecutive year the company has surpassed 2 million units annually, reinforcing its position as India’s largest passenger-vehicle manufacturer. Domestic sales for FY26 reached 18,61,704 units, while exports hit a record 4,47,774 units, reflecting a 34% growth over the previous fiscal year. These figures solidify Maruti’s status as India’s leading passenger-vehicle exporter for the fifth consecutive year and highlight the growing importance of overseas markets in its sales mix. The company’s compact and entry-level SUV models have been central to this growth, with newer models replacing aging hatchbacks and sedans.#export #india #maruti_suzuki #e_vitara #financial_year_2025_26
Tata Motors to Hike Commercial Vehicle Prices Up to 1.5% Tata Motors has announced a price increase for its commercial vehicles, with the hike ranging up to 1.5%, effective from April 1. The decision aims to counter the rising costs of commodities and other inputs, which have placed significant pressure on the company’s cost structure. This move follows similar adjustments previously announced for the passenger vehicle segment, where sustained increases in raw material expenses had already prompted price revisions. The company cited escalating commodity prices, particularly for precious metals and copper, as a key driver of the cost pressures. During a quarterly earnings call, Tata Motors’ executive emphasized that the impact of rising commodity prices has amounted to approximately 2% of the company’s revenues. “We have been facing pressure on the commodity side for nearly a year now,” the executive noted, highlighting the ongoing challenges posed by fluctuating input costs. This price adjustment is part of a broader trend among automakers globally. Major players such as Audi and Hyundai have already implemented similar measures, with Audi announcing a 2% increase across its model range to offset rising input costs and currency fluctuations. In India, Maruti Suzuki, the country’s largest carmaker, is also reviewing potential price hikes amid rising input costs, despite robust demand fueled by recent reductions in GST rates. Tata Motors’ Vice President and Business Head for Trucks, Rajesh Kaul, confirmed the pricing changes during a launch event for the company’s truck models. He stated that the adjustment is necessary to maintain profitability in the face of persistent inflationary pressures.#tata_motors #maruti_suzuki #rajesh_kaul #partho_banerjee #audi

Buy Maruti Suzuki; target of Rs 17,406: Motilal Oswal March 12, 2026 / 12:45 IST Motilal Oswal’s research report on Maruti Suzuki highlights that the company’s recent underperformance relative to the Auto index is primarily attributed to near-term challenges in the wholesale segment and a disappointing third-quarter performance. However, the firm argues these concerns are overstated, citing strong retail demand for Maruti Suzuki’s cars and utility vehicles (UVs). This demand is reflected in the company’s outperformance in retail sales following the GST cut. The report notes that Maruti Suzuki’s wholesale sales have been constrained by capacity limitations, but this is expected to improve starting in April 2026 with the ramp-up of new production capacity. The firm anticipates Maruti Suzuki will outperform industry growth in fiscal year 2027, supported by a robust launch pipeline. Key upcoming models include a new Brezza variant, the recently launched Victoris and e-Vitara, and at least one additional new launch in fiscal year 2027. Maruti Suzuki’s export momentum is also expected to remain strong as the company works toward its medium-term target of 750,000–800,000 vehicles by fiscal year 2031. It has already surpassed its FY2026 target in February 2026. The report further suggests that rising input costs will be mitigated through reduced discounts, improved product mix, and normalized pricing in the car segment. Overall, the firm projects Maruti Suzuki will achieve a 16% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in earnings from fiscal years 2025 to 2028. Motilal Oswal reiterates its BUY recommendation for the company, setting a target price of Rs 17,406, which is based on a valuation of 26 times the December 2027 earnings per share (EPS).#maruti_suzuki #motilal_oswal #brezza #victoris #e_vitara
