Axis Securities said that investors should closely monitor geopolitical developments and their potential impact on energy prices and supply chains. Any escalation in tensions affecting key shipping routes such as the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt energy supplies and push up global logistics costs, thereby increasing cost pressures for automobile manufacturers. "Potential disruptions in OEM production schedules, supplier operations and broader supply chain stability, along with any slowdown in vehicle demand due to elevated energy costs or economic uncertainty, will be critical factors shaping the near-term outlook for the sector," the brokerage said.
