May 5 (Reuters) - India's retail car sales rose in April, an auto dealers' body said on Tuesday, although the Middle East crisis and its impact on fuel prices could hurt demand going into the summer months.

• Passenger vehicle sales rose 12.2% year-on-year to 407,355 units, a record for April, helped by a boost from last September's rate cuts, easier financing conditions and strong demand from smaller towns and rural areas, the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations said

• Overall vehicle retail sales climbed 12.9% to 2.6 million units, also an all-time high for April, with five out of six segments posting record volumes

• Dealers warned that uncertainty stemming from the Middle East could weigh on sentiment if higher crude prices spill over into fuel costs, and also flagged risk from heatwaves and supply constraints

• Indian state fuel ​retailers have raised prices of liquefied petroleum gas for industrial customers and jet fuel sold to ​foreign carriers, but there ​has been no increase in retail prices ‌of ⁠gasoline, gasoil, LPG or jet fuel for Indian carriers

• For April, rural car sales jumped 20.4%, nearly three times faster than urban growth of 7.1%, supported by a revival in small cars

• Inventory levels edged up to around 28 to 30 days, within what the association considers a "healthy range", though dealers urged manufacturers to go slow on dispatches as demand typically softens in May and June

April 14 (Reuters) - India's auto industry body on Tuesday flagged concerns on the possible adverse impact of the Middle East war on automotive production, input and fuel prices, and freight rates.

Here are some key details:

• The West Asia conflict is expected to pose short-term challenges for the auto industry, Shailesh Chandra, president of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), said.

• Uncertainties arising from the West Asia conflict, particularly prices of crude oil and commodities, higher exchange rates and disruptions in shipping routes, remain a concern for the auto sector, the industry body said.

• In the near term, the conflict may weigh on export volumes, and the evolving situation reinforces the need for calibrated supply chains and diversification of energy inputs, analysts at Antique Stock Broking said.

• In the entry-level segment in April so far, buyer enquiries are strong, but converting them to sales is taking longer, the SIAM president said.

• Car sales by manufacturers to dealers in the world's third-largest car market rose 7.9% to 4.6 million units in the financial year 2026, industry data showed, compared to the previous fiscal year's 2%, as consumer sentiment improved due to tax cuts.

• In September 2025, India slashed taxes on larger SUVs to 40% as an additional levy was dropped and on small cars and two-wheelers to 18% from 28%, helping support demand across segments.

• Total domestic two-wheeler sales in the financial year 2026 rose 10.7% on-year compared to 9.1% growth last year, the industry data showed.

March 13 (Reuters) - India's domestic car dispatches to dealers rose for the fifth straight month in February, data from an industry body showed on Friday, helped by tax cuts that have lowered prices across most models.

"While the month of March has festive drivers... the recent conflict in West Asia remains a concern... could impact the manufacturing processes and exports," Rajesh Menon, Director General of Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), said.

Here are some key details:

• Passenger vehicle dispatches jumped 10.6% to 417,705 units in February, compared with 377,689 units a year earlier.

• Tax reductions continue to fuel growth, extending momentum for fifth consecutive month.

• In September 2025, India slashed taxes on larger SUVs to 40% as an additional levy was dropped and on small cars and two-wheelers to 18% from 28%, helping support demand across segments.

• Vehicle sales picked up during the ongoing wedding season, supported by strong bookings, inventory build-up and new model launches.

• Domestic demand is expected to remain strong, though exports could soften on reduced shipments to Africa and the Middle East, analysts added.

• SIAM warns the ongoing Middle East crisis could hit production and exports if supply chains are disrupted.

• A shortage of gas - crucial for paint shops and component manufacturing - may affect production, analysts said, though they expect only near-term impact on Indian manufacturers due to inventory buffers.

• Domestic demand to stay robust but exports could weaken due to reduced shipments to Africa and the Middle East- Axis Capital

• India, the world's third-biggest car market, has an auto industry that accounts for 7.1% of its GDP.

• Tax cut-driven growth is likely to sustain for several quarters, a dealer's body said last week.

Adds details and background from paragraph 3

Nov 13 (Reuters) - India's Eicher Motors EICH.NS, maker of Royal Enfield motorcycles, reported higher second-quarter profit on Thursday, riding on a jump in sales both domestically and outside the country.

The company said its consolidated net profit rose 24.5% year-on-year to 13.69 billion rupees ($155.75 million) in the three months to September 30.

Royal Enfield recorded its highest jump in motorcycle sales in more than three years, rising 43.2% year-over-year.

Eicher Motors, which leads motorcycle sales in the premium category in India, logged a 26.8% increase in sales of motorcycles with engine capacity above 350cc, such as the 'Himalayan', indicating strong consumer appetite for premium and higher margin bikes.

Royal Enfield's overseas shipments, typically more profitable than domestic sales, jumped 55.1%, helped by expansions into newer geographies this year.

Industry-wide two-wheeler sales in India rose 7.4% in the quarter ended September, helped by a boost in demand during the local Navratri and Diwali festivals.

Momentum was further supported by recent consumption tax cuts on motorcycles upto 350cc, which supported demand for both entry-level and premium models.

Sales of models with upto 350cc engine capacity like 'Meteor 350', which make up 86.5% of total motorcycle sales for the company registered growth of 46.2%.

Eicher, which also makes trucks and buses in a joint venture with Volvo Group, said total revenue from operations rose 44.8% to 61.72 billion rupees.

Rival Bajaj Auto BAJA.NS reported a 23.7% rise in quarterly profit helped by higher exports last week, while Hero Motocorp HROM.NS will report its quarterly results later in the day.

Adds analysts comments, updates shares

Sept 4 (Reuters) - India's auto stocks .NIFTYAUTO jumped as much as 3.7% to the highest level in nearly 11 months on Thursday after the government slashed consumption taxes, with analysts predicting a demand boost for the sector.

Auto shares were last up 1.9% to lead sectoral gains on the benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI index, which was trading 0.6% higher.

Mahindra & Mahindra MAHM.NS and Eicher Motors EICH.NS both notched record highs and led gains on the auto index. Mahindra, up 6%, was the top gainer on the Nifty.

Late on Wednesday, the Goods and Services Tax Council approved lower taxes on hundreds of consumer items ranging from soaps to small cars to spur domestic demand in the face of steep U.S. tariffs.

The GST on small cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks and ambulances has been reduced to 18% from 28%.

"The total tax on all auto categories will decrease, benefiting all players," boosting overall demand, analysts Basudeb Banerjee and Rishi Kapadia at CLSA said in a note.

The effective tax on large-engine capacity cars and SUVs was lowered to 40%, as an additional levy was dropped.

Jefferies analysts said this is a "surprise win" for Mahindra as majority of its portfolio includes SUVs.

Peer Eicher is a key beneficiary from the tax cuts on tractors, which comprise 80% of its portfolio, the analysts said.
