In the news
Auto registrations see growth in March
- As per the Federation of Automobile Dealers’ Association, passenger vehicles and tractor registrations grew by 28.3% and 29.2% YoY in March 2021. This surge is the result of a low base, transition from BS4 to BS6 and the lockdown.
- As per reports, the pandemic has reportedly pushed 32 million Indians out of the middle class, which translated to a 35.2% YoY de-growth in two-wheeler sales. Meanwhile, commercial vehicle registrations witnessed a steeper 42.2% de-growth, primarily due to high BS-6 prices and low finance availability. The Nifty Auto index has fallen 3% in March but has risen 8% so far in 2021.
Kalyan Jewellers strong on Q4 revenue growth
- The leading jewellery retailer delivered 60% revenue growth in Q4, albeit on a lower base of Q4FY20. As per the company, the robust growth was driven by a shift in consumer demand from unorganised to the organised segment.
