management has revised its outlook for FY27 upwards. The company now sees a milder industry volume decline than earlier expected.
Management earlier expected industry volumes to be 15-20 percent lower than FY26. The revised view points to a 5-10 percent dip or even matching last year’s levels in a best case. Capacity expansion remains on track to support demand.
The key change is the upward revision from a 15-20 percent drop to a 5-10 percent range for FY27 industry volumes. This improves visibility for axle makers. Peers such as Bharat Forge, Ramkrishna Forgings and Sona BLW may benefit from better CV demand. Near-term price support is possible on the improved outlook. Risks include monsoon or geopolitical factors affecting actual volumes. Competitors listed: Bharat Forge, Ramkrishna Forgings, Sona BLW. We have no financial interest in this news.
