In news from the automobile sector, Eicher Motors is among the top buzzing stocks today.

The market regulator has imposed a penalty of Rs 1 m on Eicher Motors for failing to exercise due diligence in a case pertaining to issuance of duplicate shares or new certificates.

The company has been directed to pay the fine within 45 days.

The order comes after the regulator received a complaint from Adesh Kaur against Eicher, wherein it was mentioned that 903 shares of the company, which were held in her name since 1994-95, were fraudulently transferred to an account of an impersonator who had managed to forge her signature.

Recently, the company announced sales figures for Eicher Trucks and Buses & Volvo Trucks for the month of May 2022. Eicher sold 5,637 vehicles during May 2022, as against 1,223 in May 2021 registering a growth of 360.9% YoY.

The company sold 5,504 Eicher Trucks and Buses in May 2022, as compared to 1,175 in May 2021, growth of 368.40% YoY.

It must be noted that the change percentage in above figures are not comparable due to impact of second wave of Covid-19 last year.

But certainly, some recovery can be seen in the sales figures of many auto companies. With the auto sector gaining traction, auto ancillary stocks are bound to follow.

In news from the FMCG sector, Nestle India is looking to tap opportunities in new categories such as 'healthy ageing', 'plant-based nutrition' and 'healthy snacking' to boost growth in the country.

Nestle's Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Narayanan said that the company's existing businesses, ranging from nutrition, breakfast cereals and beverages to chocolate and confectionery, have headroom for penetration.

Narayanan said he is optimistic about the consumption scenario of the country, even though the current high inflation print is likely to last for a while.

He added that the current high inflationary trend is a cause for concern and almost 9-10 of its 13 raw materials have been witnessing 10-year highs in terms of prices.

The growth strategy of the company continues to be aggressive. Our categories have headroom for penetration.

There are new opportunities whether it is in healthy ageing products, plant-based nutrition, healthy snacking and the toddler segment (for nutrition). All of these will be happening in the next couple of years.
