Given the easing of the commodity cycle, robust core sector growth to benefit the commercial vehicle (CV) business, market share gains in the passenger vehicle (PV) segment, and first mover advantage in the domestic electric vehicle (EV) portfolio, the Indian auto market continues to outperform its international counterpart. This trend is anticipated to continue, believes brokerage Ventura Securities Ltd.

The brokerage is very optimistic about the possibilities brought about by the new scrappage policy, and this could be a significant catalyst for sustained growth over the medium term throughout the entire automotive industry.
