The firm highlighted that company has a presence across all major original equipment manufacturering (OEM) segments. Some notable nameplates associated with the company include Mahindra Thar, XUV 700, Maruti New Brezza, and Grand Vitara, among others. The firm added that a promising trend for GIL is its rising market share in the passenger vehicle-sports utility vehicle (PV-SUV) segment, which bodes well for the company’s overall sales performance.
The analysts further said that its growing dominance in the PV-SUV space is particularly advantageous, considering the relatively low market penetration of the passenger vehicle category in the domestic market. This indicates a significant growth potential and offers long-term sustainability for GIL’s business expansion.
The brokerage firm added that it expects the company’s sales and net profit to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10% and 19%, respectively, over FY23-25.
