Sep-11-2025

Indian equity benchmarks were trading higher in late afternoon session. Market participants showed optimism over India-US trade deal after Commerce and Industry minister Piyush Goyal said India is in active dialogue with the US for a proposed trade deal. Also, investors took note of Fitch Ratings raising India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast to 6.9% for current fiscal year (FY26), from 6.5% earlier, citing strong June quarter growth and domestic consumption-led demand. However, gains remained capped as traders await for India’s retail inflation data for the month of August.

On the global front, Asian equity markets were trading mostly in green as a drop in U.S. producer prices fueled hopes of Federal Reserve rate cuts. European equity markets were trading mostly in green ahead of European Central Bank’s interest rate decision.

Meanwhile, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has urged auto dealer associations to pass on the benefits of Goods and Services Tax (GST) rate cuts to consumers. He also said that India is concluding free trade agreements (FTAs) and it would give greater market access to the domestic industry. He said foreign companies too are keen to invest in India as the country provides a huge domestic market. He said’ with FTAs happening, you will see a greater variety of cars coming into India. if you get them sufficient business, they may want to start manufacturing in India.’

Goyal underlined the critical importance of after-sales service, availability of spare parts, and continued support for customers, even in situations where companies decide to discontinue specific models or exit the Indian market entirely. He observed that there have been cases where companies set up operations in India, only to wind up and leave after some time, creating challenges for customers who had purchased their products. He said in such instances, the responsibility often falls on dealers to address consumer concerns.

To prevent disruption and protect buyers, he suggested the creation of a framework or charter that would require all companies operating in India to commit to maintaining a local presence and providing after-sales support for a defined period before they are permitted to close operations. He emphasized that this would ensure that customers are not left stranded and that the credibility and trustworthiness of the automobile sector are maintained. He added that the government has undertaken significant and serious efforts to make it easier to do business in the country. This includes reducing unnecessary harassment, streamlining multiple government procedures, simplifying compliance requirements, and minimizing bureaucratic processes that can create obstacles for the sector.
