The auto industry was adversely impacted in Q3 F2017 due to demonetization with all segments of the industry showing significant drop in demand in the months of November and December 2016. This was in contrast to the overall positive sentiment and demand that prevailed in the period April to October 2016. Industry growth for Cars + UVs dropped to just 1.1% in the months of November and December as against 11.4% for the period April to October. This sudden drop in demand had an adverse impact on the Q3 F2017 industry volumes which de-grew by 1.4%. The festive season in October helped in boosting demand for tractors but overall Q3 saw some pressure on volumes because of demonetization. The Rabi sowing this year has exceeded the overall sown area from previous year and there is also an increase of 10% and 14-16% respectively in MSP of oilseeds and pulses. This together with continued rural thrust in the union budget will bring some cheer to the farming community.

Outlook:
India’s macro momentum suffered a dislocation in the form of withdrawal of high frequency notes by the government in November with discernible impact on consumption and investments. The official growth forecast was subsequently pared to 7.1% for F2017 from 7.6% earlier. Demonetisation has had short-term costs but holds the potential for long-term benefits. The government has embarked on follow-up actions to minimize the costs and maximise the benefits including remonetisation, a prudent budget with continued thrust on agriculture, rural and affordable housing segments, tax cuts for individuals as well as MSMEs and further lowering of the fiscal deficit that will pave the way for continued downward journey in cost of capital. Thus, growth is likely to return towards the trend in F2018 following a temporary decline in F2017.
The underlying India story essentially remains positive. India is not only among the world’s fastest growing major economies, underpinned by a stable macro-economy with declining inflation and improving fiscal and external balances. It also remains one of the few economies enacting major structural reforms.
