Autos: Nov'17 sales numbers are nothing to complain about

Total automotive industry sales moved -9.6%MoM/+17.6%YoY for Nov'17 with total industry sales clocking in at 21,765 units, taking cumulative 11MCY17 sales to 229,085 units (+18.6%YoY). Adhering to the trend of seasonal weakness from the month of November, negative movement of -11.2%/-2.1%/-4.4%/-60.5%/-8.1% for Passenger Cars/LCVs & Pickups/ Trucks/Buses/Tractors was witnessed. Running a basic time series analysis of MoM moves between Nov vs. Oct between CY11-16 shows an average total industry sales unit dip of -2.2%MoM, which falls to -7.1% ex CY16 (Rozgar scheme year). Category-wise declines were led by the 1000CC category (-29.5%MoM/+31.4%YoY) followed by 800CC and below (-12.3%MoM/+16.8%YoY) while the 1300CC+ segment sales sustained momentum (+1.0%MoM/-5.1%YoY). Additionally, for the outgoing month INDU/PSMC/HCAR reported their capacity utilization at 118.8%/91.5%/108.4%, taking the 11MCY17 capacities to 112.4%/87.7%/95.8% for SPLY. We remain upbeat on INDU's prospects for passing on any price hikes (following recent PkR weakness), while capacity expansion raises the OEMs ability to meet any escalation in demand.
