The country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India and Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) reported 54 per cent decline in total sales and total passenger vehicle sales in June respectively.

New Delhi:Major automobile manufacturers, including Maruti Suzuki India, Hyundai, Toyota and Mahindra & Mahindra, on Wednesday reported big dip in June sales, though fared better as compared to May as companies gradually ramped up operations after relaxation in lockdowns.

As per an analysis by the India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra), the auto sector also reported a 15 per cent decline in revenue in the January-March quarter of 2019-20 while pharma, fertilizers and telecom sectors showed positive growth.

Ind-Ra's analysis is based on the fourth quarter results of 190 companies. Out of 417 companies across 14 key sectors which are tracked by the rating agency, only 190 have reported their fourth quarter results as of June 27, 2020.

Pharma and fertilisers sectors showed resilience, with positive quarterly revenue growth on yoy basis, largely due to their essential nature of service, said the Ind-Ra.

"The largest impact however was seen on auto manufacturers and ancillaries with over 15 per cent yoy revenue fall in 4QFY20. The re-COVID-19 expectation was that there could be some pre-buying of BS-IV vehicles in 4QFY20; however, the opportunity was lost because of the lockdown.
