Sales of all types of vehicles decreased in January 2022, but due to chip shortage and weak demand from villages, most of the sales of passenger vehicles (passenger vehicles) and two-wheelers were reduced. Apart from this, the third wave of Corona also negatively affected its sales. According to market experts, its demand is likely to remain sluggish for the next one to two months, but in the next financial year 2023, its growth can be better, so market experts have bet on Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor.

Sales expected to pick up in FY2023
Analysts of brokerage firm Reliance Securities believe that due to the current slowdown, the demand for vehicles will be affected for the next one to two months. However, due to rapid vaccination and increasing coverage, there is a possibility of recovery from the beginning of the next financial year 2023. Auto companies may have lower profits in the January-March 2022 quarter due to slow recovery and higher raw material cost, but operating margins may improve in the next financial year on the back of rising vehicle prices and pick-up in sales. At the same time, the concerns related to chip shortage and availability of containers are expected to be resolved in the next financial year. There is a strong possibility of launching new vehicles and having a healthy order book. In such a situation, investors can take advantage of the growth of the auto sector in the next financial year by investing in Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor.
