Trade barriers, soft overseas markets leave little room to manoeuvre
Stocks of automotive (auto) component makers that draw a majority of their revenue from key overseas markets are likely to face pressure amid demand weakness, tariff uncertainty, margin stress, and stretched valuations.
Bharat Forge, Samvardhana Motherson International (Samil), Sona BLW Precision Forgings (Sona Comstar), and Balkrishna Industries are expected to bear the brunt, as at least 55 per cent of their revenue comes from global markets.
Their average return over the past six months and one year stands at 4.5 per cent and minus 6 per cent, respectively, compared with gains of 19 per cent and 17 percent for the Nifty Auto index over the same periods.
Most global passenger vehicle (PV) manufacturers expect revenue and volume growth in calendar year (CY) 2025 to be flat or lower than in CY 2024. The outlook for heavy trucks, particularly in North America, is more downbeat.

Non-metro India now drives most crypto growth: Ashish Singhal
Ashish Singhal, cofounder of CoinSwitch, India’s largest cryptocurrency (crypto) trading platform, says crypto adoption in the country is rapidly shifting beyond metropolitan centres. Non-metro regions now account for nearly 76 per cent of India’s crypto activity among CoinSwitch’s 25 million users, while women investors make up 12 per cent of the user base. Despite a 30 per cent crypto tax and 1 percent tax deducted at source (TDS), the market remains youth-driven, with investors aged 26-35 contributing 45 per cent of total investments. In a video interview with Peerzada Abrar, Singhal discusses demographic trends, regulatory challenges, and the shift from speculative trading to long-term investing. Edited excerpts:
