2.2 Macroeconomic Overview – Global
Global macroeconomic conditions in FY 2025-26 remained challenging, driven by both supply and geopolitical shock cycle.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) revised global growth downward to 3.1% from 3.3% projected in January 2026, reflecting the economic fallout from the US-Iran-Israel conflict.
The conflict triggered a sharp rise in crude oil and energy prices, disrupted global supply chains, tightened financial conditions and increased policy uncertainty across both advanced and emerging economies.
At the same time, the IMF revised global inflation upward to 4.4% from 3.8% earlier, indicating a prolonged period of elevated input costs and price pressures.
Among Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs), the impact was more pronounced for countries with high fuel import dependence and weaker fiscal buffers. However, the IMF expects the shock to remain largely near-term, assuming geopolitical tensions do not escalate further.
2.3. Macroeconomic Overview – India
Despite global tariff-related uncertainties during FY 2025-26, the Indian economy remained resilient, supported by strong domestic demand, higher government capex, robust investment activity, and structural reforms such as personal income tax and GST rationalisation. As per the revised GDP series (base year 2022-23), India's real GDP growth is estimated at 7.6% in FY 2025-26, compared to 7.1% in FY 2024-25. Growth remained broad-based, with Q3 FY 2025-26 GDP expanding by 7.8% Y-o-Y, supported by strong private consumption and festive demand. Nominal GDP growth stood relatively lower at 8.6%, mainly due to benign inflation averaging around 2.1% during
FY 2025-26.
Broad-based Sectoral Growth Supported Overall Momentum
Real Gross Value Added (GVA) is estimated to have grown by 7.7% during FY 2025-26. Growth remained well distributed across key sectors of the economy:
´ Agriculture and allied activities continued to benefit from favourable monsoon conditions and healthy reservoir levels. ´ Manufacturing activity strengthened materially, supported by improving domestic demand, government capital expenditure and higher industrial output. ´ Construction activity remained strong, driven by continued infrastructure development and urban expansion. ´ The services sector remained the primary growth engine of the economy, supported by healthy performance across trade, transportation, hospitality, financial services and digital services.
The Government of India maintained its emphasis on long-term infrastructure creation and investment-led growth. In the Union Budget FY 2025-26, capital expenditure was budgeted at `11.21 lakh crore, reinforcing the Government's commitment towards roads, railways, logistics, urban infrastructure and digital connectivity. Continued public investment supported industrial activity, crowding-in of private investment and long-term productivity enhancement across the economy.
Domestic demand conditions remained favourable during FY 2025-26, supported by measures such as personal income tax relief, GST rationalisation, improving consumer sentiment and sustained investment activity.
Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) grew by 7.7%, while Government Final Consumption Expenditure (GFCE) expanded by 6.6% during the year. Under the revised CPI series with base year 2023-24, inflation moderated to 2.1% in FY 2025-26, remaining at the lower end of the Reserve Bank of India's target band of 2-6%. The benign inflation environment was supported by GST rationalisation, favourable base effects, healthy supply conditions and adequate reservoir levels across the country. Reflecting the favourable macroeconomic environment, the RBI described the economy as being in a 'Goldilocks' phase and reduced the policy repo rate cumulatively by 125 basis points since February 2025 to 5.25%, while maintaining a neutral policy stance. Lower interest rates supported liquidity conditions, credit growth and retail financing demand across sectors.
During FY 2025-26, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rationalisation provided a meaningful boost to the Indian two-wheeler industry, particularly in the mass and mid-premium motorcycle segments. The reduction in GST on two-wheelers below 350cc from 28% to 18% significantly improved affordability and lowered the on-road acquisition cost for customers. The lower tax structure enhanced the value proposition across key models, improved dealer throughput and strengthened retail momentum through more effective financing and promotional offerings without margin dilution.
3.1. Two-wheeler ICE (India)
In FY 2025-26, two-wheeler sales grew by ~13% (all-India VAHAN), with a ~2% growth in Q1 & Q2 and a significant 19% growth in Q3 [due to GST revision]. This momentum sustained into Q4 with a strong 24% growth.
Industry wholesale volumes increased by 9% to 20.6 million units, from 18.8 million units in the previous fiscal year.
The growth of motorcycle industry in FY 2025-26 offered key insights:
´ Premium motorcycle sales grew by 14% in FY 2025-26, reaching 1.8 million units compared to 1.6 million units in FY 2024-25 with a category share of 8.9% (8.5% in FY 2024-25) of the overall ICE two-wheeler industry. ´ Commuter motorcycles continued to command dominant category share of 46.2% (49.3% in FY 2024-25) of the overall ICE two-wheeler industry. This category, which comprises the Executive and Economy segments, saw a volume growth of 3% in FY 2025-26 with sales of 9.5 million units (from 9.2 million units in FY 2024-25). While the Economy segment grew by 4.5%, the Executive segment grew by only 0.7%, which resulted in its category share declining from 20.6% to 19%. The ICE Scooter industry grew by 16% in FY 2025-26, with 7.03 million units sold compared to 6.07 million units in FY 2024-25, thereby increasing its category share from 32.3% (FY 2024-25) to 34.1% (FY 2025-26).

3.2. Two-wheeler EV (India)
EV industry retail sales, as per VAHAN, reached 1.46 million units in FY 2025-26, up 26% over last year. The average penetration of EV two-wheelers stood at 6.6%, growing from 6.2% last year. In Q4 FY 2025-26, the EV industry grew by 38%. Sustained policy support from the Central Government through initiatives such as PM e-Drive (earlier Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles in India or FAME II), the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, and the reduction in Goods and Services Tax (GST) on lithium-ion batteries has played a pivotal role in improving the affordability and adoption of electric vehicles. Complementing these efforts, several state governments have introduced dedicated EV policies that provide additional incentives and infrastructure support, collectively accelerating the transition towards electric mobility.
3.3. Three-wheeler ICE + EV (India)
The retail industry posted a strong growth of 17%, from 0.67 million units to 0.78 million units in FY 2025-26. The wholesale industry grew by 11% during FY 2025-26, with volumes rising from 0.71 million units to 0.79 million units
The small-passenger segment (ICE + EV) grew by 7% in FY 2025-26 (from 0.42 million units in FY 2024-25 to 0.45 million units in FY 2025-26), while its contribution to the overall three-wheeler industry decreased from 58% to 56%.
The cargo segment also saw growth, due to demand for last-mile delivery and e-commerce applications aided the growth of the cargo segment.
The ICE segment retails in Q3 FY 2025-26 & Q4 FY 2025-26 witnessed a growth of 8.7% & 19.1% over last year, owing to GST rate cuts w.e.f September 2025.

Global Outlook
Global economic growth was projected by the IMF at around 3.2% during Q1 to Q3 of FY 2025-26, moderating marginally to ~3.1% in Q4 FY 2025-26, with emerging market economies continuing to drive growth. Advanced economies are expected to see relatively modest expansion amid fiscal consolidation, evolving trade policies and geopolitical developments.
The global operating environment remains influenced by tariff actions, trade fragmentation and geopolitical tensions, which have reshaped supply chains, particularly for semiconductors, critical minerals and technology-intensive components. Disruptions to key maritime routes have contributed to higher freight and insurance costs, carrier surcharges and input-cost volatility, leading to potential short- to medium-term supply interruptions and elevated landed costs. In addition, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East present upside risks to global inflation, primarily through energy prices, with possible spillovers into currency volatility and near-term demand moderation in select markets.
Another megatrend to watch out for is the likely impact of AI on consumption economies as job displacement and slower wage growth moderate household spending sentiment. As consumers adopt a more cautious and austere outlook, discretionary demand may soften, with a greater emphasis on value, utility and essential purchases.
Against this backdrop, the Company is closely monitoring the progress of the war for determining appropriate strategies to be adopted to ensure business continuity. The two-wheeler international business is expected to maintain positive momentum, driven by growth in Africa and increasing volumes in Asia, ASEAN and Latin America. While global demand remains subject to external uncertainties, the Company is positioned to navigate these challenges through its diversified geographic footprint, disciplined risk management, strong execution capabilities and continued focus on building the international business, supported by India's ongoing bilateral and multilateral trade engagements. African mobility demand continues to remain structurally strong, supported by rising two-wheeler penetration, rising urbanisation, and increasing dependence on affordable personal and last-mile mobility solutions. Africa remains one of the key markets for the Company.
While the ongoing geopolitical conflict may lead to some near-term volatility in fuel and logistics costs, the long-term demand outlook for the two-wheeler industry across Africa remains favourable.
As a major oil exporter, Nigeria, is expected to benefit from elevated crude oil prices, with stronger export earnings and forex inflows supporting macroeconomic stability, fiscal revenues, and GDP growth. The IMF projects
Nigeria's economy to grow by 4.1% in FY 2026-27. Similarly, resource-rich economies such as Democratic Republic of the Congo and Guinea are expected to benefit from favourable commodity price trends, particularly across metals and mining exports. Higher commodity realisations are likely to support export revenues, government finances, infrastructure spending, and broader macroeconomic conditions, partially offsetting the impact of global financial tightening and external uncertainties.
In South Africa, easing power supply disruptions, moderating inflation and improving business confidence are expected to support gradual recovery in mobility demand, making it an important strategic market for the Company's expansion plans as it steps into the next fiscal year.
Overall, the international business is expected to demonstrate resilience and gradual improvement during FY 2026-27.
India Outlook
In India, demand conditions remain resilient, supported by favourable fundamentals, GST-led consumption momentum and a healthy replacement cycle. While risks remain from higher fuel prices, inflationary pressures, evolving regulatory norms and tighter liquidity conditions, stable inflation trends and stable reservoir levels provide partial offsets, subject to monsoon performance.
India is expected to retain its position as one of the fastest-growing major economies, with GDP growth projected in the range of 6.0%–6.5%. At the same time, the macroeconomic outlook is increasingly influenced by global geopolitical developments, including conflicts in West Asia, which could impact trade flows, energy prices, raw material costs and financial markets.
The possibility of an El Niño event could weigh on monsoon patterns and may have broader implications for India's economy through its impact on agricultural output, rural incomes, and overall consumption sentiment.
Within this context, the Company believes India's long-term structural growth drivers continue to underpin demand across personal and commercial mobility.
The two-wheeler segment is expected to benefit from replacement demand and steady consumer sentiment, though near-term growth could moderate depending on inflation, fuel prices and input-cost movements. Demand in the three-wheeler segment is anticipated to be supported by last-mile connectivity and intra-city mobility needs, even as operators remain investment-selective.
Overall, the Company expects India two-wheeler and three-wheeler demand in FY 2026-27 to broadly track the previous year's performance, subject to external developments. This outlook is supported by the Company ' s diversified product portfolio, strong brand equity, extensive distribution network, cost discipline, continued innovation and customer-centric focus, underpinned by a resilient, multi-sourced supply chain that provides agility in a dynamic and uncertain operating environment.
