(To take cues from broader market; bias positive)

Shares of automobile companies are expected to take cues from the broader market, and
will show a positive bias. The Auto Index, which closed down nearly 3% from a week
ago, will see some rebound and may reclaim the 8000-point mark in a truncated week,
which will see just three trading sessions.

Markets will remain closed on Thursday and Friday on account of Ambedkar Jayanti
and Ram Navami, respectively. The positivity from the larger automobile market is
unlikely to extend to Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

The company is seen struggling to establish some control over the fast growing sports
utility vehicle market despite the launch of two SUVs in succession. In a recent report,
Kotak Institutional Equities said the outlook on the carmaker remains positive, even as
the company is seen losing some market share in light of tough competition. The
company commands 52% market share in the passenger car market. This is seen down
to and consolidating at 48% over the next couple of years.
