India's Mahindra logs 20% jump in SUV sales to dealers, rivals post declines
Aug 1 (Reuters) - Indian automaker Mahindra & Mahindra ( opens new tab logged a 20% year-on-year jump in SUV sales to dealers in July on strong demand for newer models and electric SUVs, while its rivals struggled, data from the firms showed on Friday. Most Indian carmakers, barring Mahindra, are struggling to grow sales amid a broader industry slowdown in the world's third-largest car market. Having gotten off to a slow start to 2025, manufacturers are counting on a pick-up in demand from late August, buoyed by festivals, as well as tax cuts and lower interest rates. Still, for the year to March 2026, they expect industry-wide car sales to grow just 1% to 2%, compared to a 2% growth in the previous year. Domestic sales for Hyundai India ( opens new tab and Tata Motors ( opens new tab slid by a tenth each in July, as the companies suffer from stalling demand for their small cars and older SUVs – a segment which contributes two-thirds to their dispatches. Successful launches over the past year at Mahindra have drawn customers away from Hyundai and Tata Motors, with Mahindra leaping past the two to the no. 2 spot in the domestic car market, long held by Hyundai. However, Tata Motors, which leads sales of electric vehicles in India, reported a 42% jump in EV sale volumes to a record 7,124 units. The EV leader's dominance has been challenged over the last year by Mahindra and JSW MG Motor. Meanwhile, market leader Maruti Suzuki reported that sales to dealers were largely flat. Although sales of small cars such as the Swift rose for the first time in six months, this was offset by a decline in SUV sales. Maruti's July performance was hurt by price hikes to upgrade models with six airbags, its sales and marketing head Partho Banerjee said in a call on Friday.

Indian blue-chips post fifth weekly loss as tariffs, foreign outflows bite
Aug 1 (Reuters) - Indian stock benchmarks fell on Friday, logging their fifth straight weekly loss - the longest losing streak in two years - as the U.S. hit trading partners with steep tariffs and reaffirmed a 25% duty on India, stoking global growth worries. The Nifty 50 (.NSEI), opens new tab fell 0.82% to 24,565.35 points and the BSE Sensex (.BSESN), opens new tab lost 0.72% to 80,599.91. Both the benchmarks fell about 1.1% this week, with fourteen of the 16 major sectors ending lower. The broader small-caps (.NIFSMCP100), opens new tab and mid-caps (.NIFMDCP100), opens new tab declined 3.4% and 2.4%, respectively, for the week. "The tariff threat feels more like hardball than endgame, leverage not lasting policy," said Aishvarya Dadheech, chief investment officer at Fident Asset Management. However, relentless foreign selling and U.S. inflationary pressures from tariff uncertainty could sting emerging markets such as India in the near term, Dadheech added. Foreign portfolio investors have sold Indian stocks for nine consecutive sessions, with July outflows reaching 17.74 billion rupees, the highest since February. U.S.-exposed IT (.NIFTYIT), opens new tab slipped 1.9% on Friday and 2.7% for the week as tariffs and inflation worries triggered demand concerns. Pharma (.NIPHARM), opens new tab shed 3.3% on the day and 2.9% on week after U.S. President Donald Trump pushed drugmakers to slash prescription prices, intensifying pricing pressures. Sun Pharma ( opens new tab fell 4.5% on the day, the most on the Nifty 50, with Investec downgrading the stock to "sell" from "buy". In contrast, consumer stocks (.NIFTYFMCG), opens new tab jumped 3% this week, led by Hindustan Unilever ( opens new tab and Varun Beverages ( opens new tab, as strong June-quarter earnings boosted hopes of a gradual demand revival. For the week, infrastructure giant Larsen & Toubro ( opens new tab and paints maker Asian Paints ( opens new tab also gained 4.2% and 4.1%, respectively, on strong quarterly results. PNB Housing Finance ( opens new tab plunged 18% to log their worst session in nearly seven years after CEO Girish Kousgi resigned, a move analysts called a setback given his role in driving profitability and asset quality.
