Sport utility vehicle launches and market resets inject horsepower into the automotive sector, turning the carmaker into a pacesetter of the rally
Automotive (auto) stocks have been among the best performers in the BSE 200 index in recent months.
More than half of the top 15 gainers over the past one, two, and three months have come from the sector. The rally has been driven by changes in goods and services tax (GST) slabs, normal monsoons, lower interest rates, and tax incentives, all of which are expected to lift demand.
Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL), the country’s largest carmaker, has led the charge. Its stock is up 47 per cent so far in 2025, compared with a 19.6 per cent gain for the Nifty Auto index. Alongside aggressive price cuts — deeper than the GST reduction — the company has pinned hopes on new launches, such as the Victoris sport utility vehicle (SUV). With these triggers, the stock has repeatedly hit all-time highs in recent trading sessions.
