@bopinion@andymukherjee70 After Maruti and Hyundai, Toyota is the most profitable automaker in India - profit of Rs 1400crs in FY18 & FY19 (FY20 data awaited). Toyota's low capacity utilization is more of their own issues/wrong approach - they entry level products that has low GST have failed miserably
All auto companies highlighting festive demand recovery (albeit also on high discounts); but post-festive demand outlook remains uncertain esp for 2Ws with BS6 changeover and high inventory
@sandipsabharwal Commentary on demand was quite weak. Start to festive season has been slow with decline YoY; 2H volumes likely to be lower than 1H on BS6 transition; demand recovery to take around 2-4 quarters; BS6 cost hike another headwind; competitive intensity has risen esp from Bajaj.
A large part of sales uptick with GST cut would be a pre-ponement of demand and thus vehicle demand/GST collections could fall again once rates are raised to earlier levels
Total Annual GST Collections from the Auto Sector ~ Rs 150000 Cr
A 10% cut for 6 months will cost the Govt around Rs 20000 Cr assuming no sales uptick
If sales go up by 15% it will more than compensate
If sales go up 25% collections will be actually higher @nsitharaman@PMOIndia
Thank you so much @AnilShri Sir for taking out from the your busy schedule and sharing @NITIAayog 's vision towards electric mobility at SBICAP's 'Gear'ed for Disruption? 2.0 Conference in Mumbai today which had over 200 participants from various stakeholders of mobility industry
@elonmusk Hi Elon, we @ SBI (India’s largest bank) are hosting an investor event around disruption in autos titled ‘Gear’ed for Disruption? in Mumbai on 19th July. You being @ the forefront of disruption, would like to host you as Keynote Speaker via VC. Let me know your interest
@Sam_kings@adiljal@Maruti_Corp Maruti will offer gasoline hybrid engine options, which will be 10% more fuel efficient than gasoline engine and 10% cheaper than BS6 compliant diesel engines.
It's only the small diesel engine i.e. 1300cc sourced from FIAT would be discontinued as it would become unviable in small cars. The in-house developed 1500cc engine recently introduced in Ciaz would continue
#Maruti Suzuki has announced that they won’t be selling #diesel cars from April 2020! What are your thoughts #MotorBeamers? High cost of upgrading diesel engines to meet BS6 guidelines is one of the big reasons for this decision
Replace "Bhakt" with "Namazi". Replace Tilak with Topi. Replace image of Lord Rama with that of Kaaba. Replace Saffron with Green and release the video. There will be peaceful and secular riots all over the country. EC will ban congress. This is total mainstreaming of Hinduphobia
