India Ratings Maintains Neutral Outlook for Auto Ancillaries in FY26

India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has retained a neutral outlook for the auto ancillary sector in FY26, forecasting revenue growth of 8-10% year-on-year. This growth is anticipated to be driven by factors such as premiumisation, rising electric vehicle (EV) adoption, and increasing investments by global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in India. However, challenges persist for the sector, including muted export demand, particularly from Europe, and a slowdown in domestic sales growth, excluding two-wheelers, which could impact profitability. Despite these hurdles, Ind-Ra highlights several elements that could sustain margins. Stable replacement market demand is expected to act as a buffer against slowing new vehicle sales. Additionally, companies ramping up production to meet demand are likely to benefit from economies of scale and improved operating leverage. With supply chain constraints easing, raw material prices are predicted to remain stable, helping to control production costs. Companies focusing on advanced EV-related components are well-positioned for future growth, as EV adoption creates demand for specialised components. The trend toward premium vehicles with advanced features is expected to continue, boosting demand for auto ancillary products. Furthermore, as global OEMs diversify supply chains away from China, India is emerging as a preferred investment destination, offering significant growth opportunities for the country’s auto ancillary sector.
