What This Rally Means for the Nifty Auto Index

The broad participation across two wheelers, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and auto ancillary names suggests the June sales strength is translating into genuine sector wide investor confidence rather than being concentrated in one or two large names. With most major manufacturers posting healthy year on year growth in June, the key question for the Nifty Auto index heading into the festive season will be whether this demand momentum can be sustained through the traditionally stronger second half of the calendar year.
