Top story

Indian auto’s record highs: As the Indian car market continues to scale new peaks new and clearer market trends are emerging. While SUVs and crossovers are making gains everywhere, small cars and hatchbacks are not in a mood to give up territory so easily despite the fact that one in every two vehicles sold in FY24 was an SUV.

What the country witnessed was the growth of SUVs by over 28% to 2.1 million units with more than 50% of them being above four metres. Interestingly, vehicle prices, which had already gone up by 25-30% post Covid-19, witnessed another year of 11% appreciation.

This specially curated 64-pager issue offers a review of the key events in the automotive industry in the past few days and much more.

Top story

We deep dive into the automotive landscape in India, particularly focusing on the evolving dynamics within the hatchback segment. The recent introduction of the Gen IV Swift hatchback by Maruti Suzuki amidst the SUV dominance is indeed a noteworthy move, highlighting the enduring appeal of hatchbacks in the Indian market and why some OEMs are still banking on them.

On the other hand, the juxtaposition of the rising prices of hatchbacks with the relatively stagnant income growth of entry-level car buyers paints a challenging picture for the segment. However, several OEMs are not willing to give up as they feel hatchbacks are likely to remain relevant, especially considering their role as the first step into car ownership for many Indians.
