India's passenger vehicle (PV) industry is set for a capital expenditure cycle of ₹3.2 lakh crore–₹3.5 lakh crore from FY26 to FY30, primarily driven by investments in electric vehicles (EVs), exports, and premiumisation.
While this investment cycle supports long-term growth, OEMs may face pressure on return metrics and capacity utilisation in the near term as they front-load investments ahead of demand growth.
