MARUTI

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest carmaker, is finally catching up on the SUV trend with strong launches in the past year. Its dominance in the hatchback segment remains, but SUVs and hybrids are now driving sales. The stock has rallied, reflecting optimism around new launches and market share recovery. EV entry will be a key turning point, with Maruti planning its first model soon. For investors, Maruti remains a solid auto play with strong fundamentals, but valuation comfort is moderate.
