Maruti Suzuki & Eicher Motors share price both gained nearly 2%.
Other auto players like Mahindra & Mahindra, TVS Motors, and Tata Motors also traded in the green.

What Sparked the Rally?

The rally was driven by strong festive demand on the first day of Navratri and the launch of GST 2.0, which slashed prices of cars, bikes, and scooters.

Maruti Suzuki

The company reported nearly 80,000 customer inquiries and 30,000 vehicle deliveries on Navratri’s opening day, its best festive start in 35 years. Since September 18, Maruti has added 75,000 bookings, averaging 15,000 daily, almost 50% above normal levels.

Hyundai Motor India

Hyundai recorded 11,000 dealer billings on the first day, its best single-day performance in 5 years. The company expects this momentum to continue through the festive season.

Tata Motors

Tata Motors retailed around 10,000 passenger vehicles and received over 25,000 inquiries at its dealerships, supported by lower GST-led prices.

Conclusion

Nifty Auto’s rally reflects a mix of festive season demand and the GST 2.0 boost. With strong sales momentum from leading automakers, the sector looks set for a robust festive quarter.
