“Certain key indicators like GST collections, PMI, consumer confidence index are all moving in the right direction," Gupta said.
He further said, “As the country enters the festive season, we expect the 2 wheeler demand to be on a healthy trajectory supported by micro factors like normal monsoon, crop cycle, opening of all sectors of the economy etc. The margin pressure on the industry is also likely to ease in coming quarters, as commodities cool off and price recovery moves ahead of cost impact."
