In the midst of the festive season, auto companies in India saw a significant uptick in their stock prices on Friday as October sales data was released. The Nifty Auto index recorded a 1.5% intraday jump, led by major players like Mahindra & Mahindra, Eicher Motors, and Tata Motors. M&M in particular had a record-breaking month, with the highest ever monthly SUV sales. Other companies like Royal Enfield and Hyundai Motor India also saw impressive numbers, providing relief from previous concerns about sluggish demand in the industry.
