According to Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL) in its India Strategy 2QFY27 Preview, vehicle demand among the makers it covers grew 19.1% over last year in the July to September quarter. Two-wheelers rose 19%, passenger vehicles 25% and commercial vehicles 37%. Tractors fell 4%, which MOFSL blames on a high base from last year and a patchy monsoon. MOFSL points to strong retail registrations on the Vahan portal as proof that buying was healthy. Within commercial vehicles, TMCV led with 42% growth, followed by VECV at 31% and Ashok Leyland at 28%. In passenger vehicles, TMPV and Maruti beat the industry, while Hyundai lagged. Demand is strong across most vehicle types
