In Q3 F2020, both the Indian auto and tractor industry has shown some signs of trend reversal and has seen moderation in the double digit de-growth seen in Q1 F2020 and Q2 F2020. Good monsoons, the festive season demand, improved liquidity conditions, new launches, especially in the Utility Vehicle (UV) segment and special schemes offered by OEMs for the auto industry were the key reasons for this moderation in de-growth. The unseasonal rains in the month of October 2019 did cause some damage to the Kharif crop, but the sentiment in the agri and rural economy is fairly upbeat with good sowing of Rabi crops supported by very good water reservoir levels and government announcement for thrust on infra projects.
For Q3 F2020, the Indian auto industry (excluding two wheelers) posted a decline of 3.0%, as against declines of 15.4% and 26.6% in Q1 F2020 and Q2 F2020 respectively. A growth of 27.9% in the UV industry in Q3 F2020 enabled the Passenger Vehicle (PV) industry to report a flat performance with a marginal decline of 0.6% as compared to Q3 F2019.
The Commercial Vehicles (CV) industry continues to be in pain and posted a reduction of 17.3% and the Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) Goods industry has reduced 56.4% in Q3 F2020. The volumes for the HCV segment have fallen to F 2014 levels of 20000-22000 trucks per quarter.
In Q3 F2020 both the Company’s domestic tractor sales and the domestic tractor industry registered a 6% decline as compared to Q3 F2019.

Outlook:
Economic activity weakened further in the last few months and the momentum remained subdued. As a result, India’s real GDP growth for 2019-20 was revised downwards by RBI from 6.1% in the October policy to 5% in December. The RBI further forecasts growth rates of 4.9-5.5% in H2 and 5.9-6.3% per cent for H1 2020-21. However, the cut in corporate tax rate and several sector-specific measures initiated by the Government and the monetary easing should further feed into the real economy. Going forward, the supportive and coordinated interplay of monetary and fiscal policy will be of paramount importance in revival of growth. The Union Budget has reiterated its commitment towards doubling of farm incomes and provided a thrust to Agriculture and the Rural sector. It also endeavours to support consumption by way of Income tax cuts and rationalisation.
Global growth has been projected to rise from an estimated 2.9% in 2019 to 3.3% in 2020 and 3.4% for 2021. These reflect a downward revision of 0.1% for 2019 and 2020 and 0.2% for 2021 compared to earlier forecasts. There are tentative signs that manufacturing activity and global trade are bottoming out. Besides, a broad-based shift toward accommodative monetary policy, US-China trade deal, and diminished uncertainties around Brexit, have boosted market sentiment.
