Maruti Suzuki Zooms 6%. Here's why

In news from the auto sector, shares of Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL) rallied as much as 5.9% to Rs 12,735 on the BSE in Tuesday's intra-day trade amid heavy volumes after the Uttar Pradesh (UP) government decided to waive registration fee on hybrid cars in a bid to promote green technology.

The stock of automobile major has reported its sharpest intra-day rally in the last two years.

As per media sources, the UP government has clubbed strong hybrids with electric vehicles (EVs), thereby extending zero registration benefits to strong hybrids being sold in the state.

The move is anticipated to invigorate sales of these vehicles in the state, which is among the largest EV markets in India.

According to automobile industry sources, the on-road prices of strong hybrid cars have decreased by up to Rs 4 lakh in UP after the state government move.

Around 100 strong hybrid cars were sold per month in Uttar Pradesh in FY24.

This has led to a substantial decline in the on-road price of strong hybrids in the state to the tune of around 10% and is expected to accelerate its sales going forward.

MSIL is the market leader in the domestic passenger vehicle (PV) space with market share pegged at approximately 41.7% as of FY24. The popular models include WagonR, Swift, Brezza, Baleno, Ertiga and Fronx among others.

Why Tea Stocks are Rising

Moving on, Shares of tea manufacturing companies rallied up to 16% on the BSE in Tuesday's intraday on the back of rising tea prices. Tea prices have been increasing due to erratic rainfall affecting tea production in North India.

Harrison Malayalam (Rs 247.95), Jay Shree Tea & Industries (Rs 131.70), and Rossel India (Rs 665) rallied 16% each on the BSE in the intraday trade. Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation (BBTCL), on the other hand, hit a record high of Rs 2,323, soaring 15%, while McLeod Russel India was locked in the 10% upper circuit at Rs 32.36 on the BSE.

According to a Reuters report, tea prices have been soaring and are expected to stay high as heatwaves and floods during the peak harvesting season slash output in key producing regions.

The price rise could support the Indian tea industry, which has been struggling with rising production costs amid a negligible rise in tea prices in the past decade.

HML has around 6,084 hectares of area under tea plantations, producing crush, tear, and curl (CTC) and orthodox tea varieties. HML also produces green tea and white tea in small quantities.
