All eyes are on the outcome, as the central bank has kept the repo rate unchanged for the last nine consecutive meetings. The repo rate, currently at 6.50%, has remained steady since the RBI adopted a cautious stance to balance inflation control and economic growth. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by RBI Governor <keyword id="19913110" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shaktikanta-Das" source="keywords">Shaktikanta Das</keyword>, is expected to weigh key factors like inflationary trends, global economic uncertainties, and domestic growth prospects. Inflation continues to be a challenge, particularly in food and fuel prices, which saw a surge earlier this year. As per the data from the Ministry of Statistics &amp; Programme Implementation, though the All India Consumer Price inflation in August was 3.65%, which is under the RBI target band the food inflation stands at 5.65% and it remains above the RBI's medium-term target of 4%. Despite these inflationary pressures, the RBI has opted for a status quo on the repo rate, primarily to support economic recovery post-pandemic. However, there are rising concerns that external factors, like the rising global crude oil prices and tensions in West Asia, may compel the RBI to reconsider its current stance. Earlier this month the central government appointed three new members to the monetary policy committee. The MPC comprises three members from the RBI and three external members appointed by the Central Government. The newly reconstituted committee consists of the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India as the Chairperson, ex officio; the Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, in charge of monetary policy--Member, ex officio, and one officer of the Reserve Bank of India, nominated by the Central Board -- Member, ex officio. The new external members included in the MPC are Professor Ram Singh, Director, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, Saugata Bhattacharya, economist; and Dr. Nagesh Kumar, Director and Chief Executive, Institute for Studies in Industrial Development. Market participants and analysts are closely monitoring this meeting for any forward guidance on future rate actions. Many believe the central bank will continue its wait-and-watch approach, but a surprise rate hike cannot be entirely ruled out. On September 18, the <keyword id="19901377" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="US-Federal-Reserve" source="keywords">US Federal Reserve</keyword> announced a steep 50 basis points interest cut in its review meeting. US Fed announced the rate cuts after holding interest rates steady for eight straight meetings. The outcome of the MPC meeting will be announced on October 9 and will set the tone for future monetary policies amid the changing global economic landscape. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will commence its three-day monetary policy meeting on Monday, October 7th, and continue until October 9th. The result of this meeting is eagerly anticipated, as the central bank has maintained a steady repo rate for the past nine consecutive meetings. The repo rate has remained at 6.50% since the RBI adopted a cautious approach to balance inflation control and economic growth. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), led by RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, will consider various factors, including inflationary trends, global economic uncertainties, and domestic growth prospects. Inflation remains a challenge, particularly in food and fuel prices, which surged earlier this year. According to data from the Ministry of Statistics &amp; Programme Implementation, All India Consumer Price inflation in August was 3.65%, within the RBI's target band, however, food inflation stands at 5.65%, exceeding the RBI's medium-term target of 4%. Despite inflationary pressures, the RBI has opted to maintain the repo rate to support economic recovery post-pandemic. Nonetheless, rising concerns about external factors, such as increasing global crude oil prices due to tensions in West Asia, may prompt the RBI to reassess its current stance. Earlier this month, the central government appointed three new members to the monetary policy committee. The MPC consists of three members from the RBI and three external members appointed by the Central Government. It is worth noting that on September 18, the US Federal Reserve announced a substantial 50 basis points interest rate cut in its review meeting, reversing its previous stance of holding rates steady for eight consecutive meetings.

RBI's monetary policy committee meeting begins today, announcement on October 9

New Delhi, <keyword id="19906967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata-motors" source="keywords">Tata Motors</keyword> expects the industry sales growth of electric vehicles in <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword> to moderate to 40-45 per cent this year with the base becoming bigger, a top company official said on Wednesday. The company, which launched Punch.ev on Wednesday, plans to introduce four more EV models this year, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd &amp; Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd Managing Director Shailesh Chandra said. It is expecting to grow faster than the industry EV growth rate, he added. "Two years back, EVs were growing on a very low base. In the last calendar year, it had a growth of nearly 100 per cent but now the base is getting bigger. By the end of this financial year, it will be around 90,000 to 1 lakh. On this high base, I think the growth (industry) would moderate to about 40 per cent to 45 per cent," Chandra said. As for Tata Motors, he said with five EV products lined up for launch, the company expects to beat the industry growth rate. When asked about EV penetration in the overall sales of the company, he said, "Currently we are between 12 to 15 per cent. Fortunately, we are also growing in <keyword id="20088520" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ice" source="keywords">ICE</keyword> (<keyword id="20225695" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="internal-combustion-engine" source="keywords">Internal Combustion Engine</keyword>). So, the denominator keeps changing." In 2023, Tata Motors sold a total of 69,153 units of EVs. Further, he said, "In the next three years, we have taken a target of achieving 25 per cent of total sales with all the products that we are going to launch. 2024 should be around 15-17 per cent." Chandra said apart from Punch.ev, Tata Motors will launch the Curvv, Harrier EV, <keyword id="20225694" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sierra" source="keywords">Sierra</keyword> and Altroz EV this year, most of which are expected in the second half. Punch.ev has been launched with an introductory price ranging from Rs 10.99 lakh-14.49 lakh. It comes with two battery pack options - 25 kWh, offering a range of 315 km, and a 35 kWh option, which offers a range of 421 km on a single charge.

<ul><li>Two wheeler sales are expected to grow at 15% for next two years, outpacing PVs.</li><li>Sales of 2Ws have been lagging behind PV sales for the last three years.</li><li>Margins of 2W companies are also expected to improve due to moderating metal prices, strong demand. </li></ul>Two wheeler sales are expected to see double digit growth for the next two years, outpacing passenger vehicles, says a report by <keyword id="19905137" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jefferies" source="keywords">Jefferies</keyword>. Two wheelers are expected to grow at a 15% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) while passenger vehicles and trucks are expected to grow at 7-8% CAGR. The research firm also believes that tractors are at the risk of a downturn after an elongated up-cycle. Their volumes are expected to fall by 9% FY24 and 5% in FY25, followed by a recovery in FY26. Amidst a mixed auto picture, two-wheelers are the preferred picks. “We enter 2024 reiterating our positive view on Indian autos with preference for two-wheelers. After the strong 2023 rally in autos, valuations are not cheap, but we believe premium multiples are justified in most cases for the strong growth outlook and company-specific positives,” said Jefferies. Its preferred buys are <keyword id="20036540" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tvs" source="keywords">TVS</keyword> and Eimco Elecon, followed by <keyword id="19906967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata-motors" source="keywords">Tata Motors</keyword>, Bajaj Auto and <keyword id="19983534" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="hero-motocorp" source="keywords">Hero Motocorp</keyword>. It also has buy ratings on Maruti and AL, but they’re lower in its pecking order. Turning tide: Sales &amp; profitability Jefferies believes that the tide has now turned for two wheelers after stressful pandemic years. The sales of two wheelers have been lagging behind passenger vehicles (PVs) for the last three years. “Compared to the respective FY19 peaks, FY23 volumes were 23% lower for 2Ws but 15% higher for PVs,” said Jefferies. In 2023, 2Ws started charting their recovery, and grew at 9.5% as compared to 11% growth seen in PVs, as per data by Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). Experts also surmise that the year of 2024 will see a boost for two wheelers. “The two wheeler sector expects a boost from new model launches, especially in the first half of the year, and an overall better economic condition coupled with higher EV participation. Improved customer sentiments, due to factors like lower fuel prices and crop payments to farmers, are likely to drive demand,” said <keyword id="20117944" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="manish-raj-singhania" source="keywords">Manish Raj Singhania</keyword>, president of FADA in 2024 outlook. Improved margins; EV consolidation Strong demand and new launches are also expected to yield good margins for two-wheeler automakers. They have been stressed between FY21 and FY23 on weak demand as well as a rally in steel and aluminum prices. Commodity prices have turned benign since then which is expected to add to two-wheeler profitability along with sales. “Auto OEM margins are on an improving trajectory as rising demand is boosting pricing power and providing operating leverage benefit, amid a benign commodity price environment,” said Jefferies. Electric vehicle sales are also expected to push for more sales in the two-wheeler category in the coming year. As of the second half of 2023, EVs made up for 5% of the market. “While the reduction in EV subsidies in June 2023 has slowed down the pace of 2W electrification, tighter regulations and lower subsidies are driving consolidation,” opined Jefferies. Top four original equipment manufacturers hold around 80% market share in electric two-wheelers. In the ICE market, the top four players hold 86% of the market share. Two wheeler HHI (Herfindahl–Hirschman Index) is also converging with ICE, which should ease concerns on long-term profitability, says Jefferies. HHI is a measure of market concentration used to determine competitiveness in the market.
