January 2023 auto sales preview: Uptrend to persist across segments

Mumbai, January 30: Emkay Global Financial Services conducted a channel check to gauge the volumes’ estimate for the month of January. The channel checks indicate PV volumes to be higher on healthy order book and ramp-up in production. Further, CVs are likely to maintain their double-digit growth momentum on better freight availability. In addition, tractor volumes are likely to be better on improving customer sentiments and finance availability. Lastly, 2-Wheelers’ volume growth is expected to be positive, supported by festive season (Uttarayan) and marriage season demand.

The research house remains constructive on the auto sector. Their preferred picks in the OEM space include Maruti Suzuki, Eicher Motor, Ashok Leyland, and Escorts.

Passenger Vehicles

PV industry’s volumes should witness robust growth (~12% YoY) on account of a large order book and higher production. Uncertainties remain on the supply chain, but production is improving in a staggered manner. Emkay Global’s channel checks indicate that dealer inventories are notably below normal levels. Among OEMs, they estimate domestic volumes to grow by 55% YoY for M&M, 10% for Tata Motors, and 8% for Maruti Suzuki. Blended vehicle discounts have been reduced on MoM basis due to seasonality and remain lower than the peak levels seen in the past.

Commercial Vehicles

CV industry’s volumes should grow in double digits (~13% YoY) with robust demand in both passenger and cargo segments. Transporters are buying trucks to get GST input credit and preponing purchases before the implementation of RDE/OBD2 norms. Emkay Global expects 49% YoY growth for Eicher Motor-Volve Eicher Commercial Vehicle, 41% for Ashok Leyland, 6% for Tata Motors, and 4% for M&M in the domestic market. 

Two-Wheelers

2-Wheelers industry volumes are expected to improve (~7% YoY). The channel checks indicate that demand in the festive season and marriage season aided 2-Wheelers’ volumes in the latter part of the month, post the commencement of the auspicious period. OEMs are going slow on dispatches as model-changeovers are happening due to OBD2. Emkay Global expects domestic volumes to improve by 29% for Eicher Motor-Royal Enfield, 16% for TVS Motor, 8% for Hero Moto Corp Ltd, and 2% for Bajaj Auto. 

Tractors

Tractor industry’s volumes are likely to register strong growth (~13% YoY) on improving customer segments and better finance availability. Crop prices are better YoY in the wholesale market for rice, wheat, and tur dal, among others. Minimum support prices (MSPs) are also better YoY, and government procurements are happening in proximity to farmers, resulting in lower logistics costs. Emkay Global expects double-digit growth in domestic volumes, at 18% YoY for Escorts and 15% for M&M.

HGH India – Country’s most popular trade show for HOME and HOUSEWARE segment commences its 12th edition at Bombay Exhibition Center, Mumbai

With a 20% increase in y-o-y demand, India now ahead of China by several International brands

Will sustain 15% growth in a conservative scenario | Can go upto 30% in some categories

The 12th edition of HGH India commenced today at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon. Being India’s most popular trade show for the Home and Houseware sector, it was inaugurated by Mr. Alessandro Liberatori, Trade Commissioner / Director of the Italian Trade Agency, New Delhi, Mr. Atul Shah, Spokesperson of BJP Maharashtra along with Mr. Arun Roongta, MD, HGH India. The show will culminate on 16th December 2022 and will be back with its 13th edition in July 2023, at the same venue. With over 100 new exhibitors amongst 400 brands and manufacturers exhibiting from all over India and 30 other countries, HGH India 2022 Spring/Summer edition is all set to unveil many new products and new suppliers across home textiles, home décor, home furniture, houseware & gifts categories. 

HGH India has always acted as facilitator and catalyst of business growth and specific categories with high potential in the Indian market. Continuing these efforts for the benefit of both exhibitors and serious trade buyers, the 12th edition of HGH India will once again lay focus some specific categories with vast untapped business potential.  These are World of Sleep, Home Furniture, Smart Kitchen, Wall & Windows and Kids’ Home. 

Mr. Arun Roongta, MD, HGH India said, “An overwhelming response from retailers to the introduction of the new Spring/Summer season for sourcing by HGH India indicates the growing maturity of the Indian market for home products. With 20% increase in year-on-year demand, India is now considered the most lucrative market in the world, ahead of China, by several international brands and Indian exporters of home textiles, furniture, decorative accessories, and houseware products. With favourable demographics and increasing spending on their homes by consumers, the next decade will clearly belong to India. Market will sustain a minimum growth of 15% in a conservative scenario, which can go upto 30% year on year in some categories like wallpapers and kids' home categories.  Even mature categories like bed sheets will continue to grow at 12-15% yoy for the next decade.  HGH India will continue to act as a catalyst to this evolving business opportunity for players across the value chain in home categories.”

Amongst major firsts, the Italian national pavilion will have physical presence of 9 exhibitors under the aegis of Italian Trade Agency (ITA), who will showcase their well-designed range of home furniture, wooden flooring, wallpaper, interior concepts, and exquisite decorative accessories. Their primary objective is to identify their long-term business partners in India in form of distributors, brand representatives, franchisees, importers, architects & interior designers. “India and Italy’s bilateral trade relations have been excellent and have grown by 44%, which is further estimated to reach total trade equalling 15 billion Euros by the end of 2022 which will be the highest ever. Italy is the 4th largest supplier of furniture to India, which is the fastest growing economy. Our participation in December 2021, was in the form of a Catalogue Display from 6 Italian companies, having a space of just 18 Sq. mtr. This time around we are covering an area of 137 sq. mtr having an Italian national pavilion with the participation from 9 Italian companies. Therefore, we are very upbeat regarding our participation and the Indian market as a whole”, said Mr. Alessandro Liberatori, Trade Commissioner / Director of the Italian Trade Agency, New Delhi  

Handicrafts, Handloom and Cottage sectors have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of HGH India, finding a long-term gateway to India’s national market.  More and more of such small manufacturers are getting connected to well-established offline and online retail chains year after year.  Over 70% of the 37,000 serious trade buyers from 550 cities and towns across India have made HGH India part of their annual calendar for sourcing, trends, and market information.  Of the top 100 retail chains and distributors in India in the home category (including offline & online retailers), 95% visit HGH India regularly.  Over 90% of HGH India visitors are senior decision makers. Besides, trade buyers from about 28 countries, primarily emerging markets in Asia and Africa too have been visiting HGH India regularly, creating an untapped export potential for Indian products in the categories of home textiles, home décor, houseware & gifts. 

Over the last one decade, HGH India has not only grown in size and stature, but has delivered consistently good business results to its exhibitors and visitors. Today, this trade show is recognised in India and globally as an effective window to the Indian domestic market connecting its exhibitors with over 36,000 serious trade buyers from over 500 cities and towns across India. Exhibitors at HGH India include well-known international and Indian brands, designers, large manufacturers, MSME units, importers, and exporters.

*Pankaj Tripathi in Ravi Jadhav's directorial biopic of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee produced by Bhanushali Studios Ltd & Legend Studios*

 

Ever since the announcement of a film on our three-time Prime Minister was announced, it piqued the audience's interest to know who will be playing the role of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a leader par excellence. With Pankaj Tripathi joining hands with the makers of this film, the excitement within the audiences has raised a notch higher. The film will be helmed by three times National Award winner Ravi Jadhav, one of the renowned directors of the Marathi film Industry and written by Utkarsh Naithani.

 

‘Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon Yeh Desh Rehna Chahiye- ATAL’ revolves around the journey of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji, an honourable leader of India and one of the co-founders and a senior leader of the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP).

 

Speaking about playing Atalji, Pankaj Tripathi expressed, “It's my Honour to portray such a humane politician on screen. He was not just a politician but so much more, he was an excellent writer and a renowned poet. Getting to be in his shoes is nothing but a privilege for an actor like me.”

 

National Award Winner Director Ravi Jadhav mentioned, “For me as a director, I couldn’t have asked for any better story than that of Atalji. On top of this, having an exemplary actor like Pankaj Tripathi to bring to screen Atalji’s story and the support of the producers. I hope that I can live up to people’s expectations with ATAL.”

 

Producer Vinod Bhanushali shared, “Unanimously, we all had imagined Pankaj Tripathi playing Atalji since we began discussing the film. We are delighted to have one of India’s finest actors playing the part. We also have an exceptional director ‘Raviji’ on board who we are sure will bring the story of our exemplary leader beautifully.”

 

Producer Sandeep Singh added, “India is soon going to celebrate the life of Atal Ji and his political ideologies. We have a powerful duo of Pankaj ji and Ravi ji to bring the story to life. We aim to release this film in Christmas 2023 which also marks the 99th birth anniversary of Bharat Rana Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji.”

*Tusshar Kapoor prepped for days before donning the role of a cop in Maarrich;

*Tusshar Kapoor prepped for days before donning the role of a cop in Maarrich; went through various workshops, weight gaining programmes and  voice modulation course to portray the character*

Tusshar Kapoor is all set to come back in a different avatar with his upcoming  murder mystery, Maarrich. He is playing the role of a Senior Cop from Mumbai named Rajiv. It's after 18 long years that Tusshar Kapoor is returning as a cop and in a different avatar on the silver screen.  There is a lot of preparation he had to undergo to ensure he represents his character as close to a real life cop. 

The film is Tusshar Entertainment House’s second outing after Akshay Kumar starrer, Laxmii. Tusshar Kapoor transformed and groomed himself in various ways to ace his role as a Senior Cop in the murder mystery. He not only took various workshops he also put on weight and worked on modulating his voice. 

Speaking about his process of preparation for the film, he said, “I did a lot of preparation because I am playing a cop and a very different character compared to all the roles I’ve done earlier. I am playing a senior cop and he is a little overconfident, little brash, little too optimistic about himself and about the way he handles cases. At the same time, he is somebody who has an emotional core and he is also a family man, but he has his own sense of moralities and how he goes about this case is something that is very interesting in the film. I did some workshops to get into the skin of the character and I also gained, a couple of kilos to look like a realistic Mumbai Cop rather than a fit six-packed cop. I wanted to look real, so I gained around 10 pounds. For the dubbing of the film I did a voice modulation course to be able to bring some gravitas, base and heaviness to my voice, because this character has some age as compared to the kind of roles I’ve done in comedy films before.”

The film is helmed by Dhruv Lather and also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Rahul Dev, Anita Hassanandani and Dipannita Sharma in pivotal roles!

Tusshar Entertainment House Presents, in association with NH Studios, Maarrich is written and directed by Dhruv Lather, produced by Tusshar Kapoor, Narendra Hirawat, Shreyans Hirawat and co-produced by Girish Johar, Priyank V Jain. The film will release theatrically on 9th December 2022!

The film depicts Tusshar Kapoor in the role of a Senior cop, for which he determinedly prepped himself in terms of voice modulation, workshops, and also on his physique.

To increase the excitement amongst the audiences and to reach them personally, the makers have decided to have a multiple-city trailer launch. The star cast of Maarrich will launch their trailer in Mumbai, Indore, and then Lucknow, followed by a press conference in every city. 

Speaking about this, actor and producer Tusshar Kapoor expressed, “ We are extremely excited that the trailer will be launched in multiple cities. Maarrich is an edge-of-the-seat commercial film that will appeal to both, the masses as well as the classes, and launching it in multiple cities was the only way that we could do justice to the film. I want the film’s story to reach everybody and I hope the audiences welcome the trailer as well as the film with open arms and shower their love and support on us.”

Adding to this director Dhruv Lather said, “ After launching the trailer in Mumbai, we will be visiting the city of Lucknow and Indore. We want the story to reach out to a wider audience as the thriller genre is tremendously loved and enjoyed by the masses and we hope they receive the trailer of  Maarrich the same way.”
