On April 1, shares of Atul Auto, a key player in the two- and three-wheeler segment, surged by an impressive 16% after the company reported its March sales figures. The rally came as a welcome relief for investors, following four consecutive sessions of decline. The stock opened 2.72% higher, hitting an intraday high of ₹511.15, reflecting a 15.8% rise from its previous close of ₹441.40 on the BSE.

Atul Auto's domestic sales in March 2025 showed a 17.5% year-on-year increase, driven primarily by strong demand for its internal combustion (IC) engine three-wheelers. The company sold 3,391 three-wheelers in the domestic market in March, compared to 2,886 units in the same period last year.

IC Engine Three-Wheelers Drive Sales Growth

The growth in sales was largely attributed to a 34.26% increase in sales of IC engine three-wheelers, which rose to 2,708 units from 2,017 units in March 2024. This impressive growth reflects the continued strong demand for traditional three-wheelers, which have been a reliable source of income for Atul Auto.

However, it’s worth noting that electric three-wheeler (L3) sales saw a 42.94% decline year-on-year, dropping to just 473 units from 827 units in March 2024. On a more positive note, electric L5 sales surged by a remarkable 425%, reaching 210 units compared to 40 units in the same month last year. This surge in electric L5 sales points to the company’s successful expansion into the electric vehicle (EV) market, which is expected to play a bigger role in its future growth.

Exports Contribute to Overall Sales Growth

Incorporating exports, Atul Auto's total sales reached 3,693 units in March, marking an 18.06% year-on-year increase from the previous year. This growth in both domestic and export sales is a positive indicator of the company's expanding market reach. For the full fiscal year 2024-25, Atul Auto's total sales, including exports, amounted to 34,012 units, reflecting a 30.62% rise compared to the previous fiscal year.

Stock Performance and Long-Term Strength

Atul Auto’s stock performance has shown impressive long-term growth, even though the stock has faced a 14.77% decline in the past three months. Over the past three years, the stock has surged by 190.95%, highlighting its potential and strength as a small-cap player in the three-wheeler market. Despite recent short-term volatility, the company’s consistent growth in sales and its expansion into the electric vehicle segment suggest a promising outlook for the future.

Over the past week, Atul Auto’s stock has gained 6.31%, outperforming the Sensex, which saw a decline of 2.28% during the same period. This suggests that investor confidence in Atul Auto remains strong, driven by the company’s solid sales growth and its promising future in both the traditional and electric vehicle markets.

Looking Ahead: A Positive Outlook for Atul Auto

The strong sales growth in March, driven by robust demand for IC engine three-wheelers, has positioned Atul Auto for continued success in the coming quarters. The company’s ability to maintain growth in the domestic market, along with expanding sales of its electric L5 three-wheelers, signals that it is strategically positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation.

The future of Atul Auto will likely be shaped by its ongoing efforts to increase its electric vehicle offerings, which are becoming an increasingly important part of the automotive landscape. The company’s expansion into electric L5 sales, which have seen a massive surge, indicates that Atul Auto is keen on diversifying its product portfolio to meet the growing demand for sustainable transportation.

Conclusion

Atul Auto’s strong March sales figures and 16% stock surge underscore the company's potential as a leader in the two- and three-wheeler market. Despite the recent short-term decline in stock value, Atul Auto's long-term growth remains promising, supported by its consistent sales growth, especially in the IC engine segment and its expanding electric vehicle lineup. Investors should keep a close watch on the company’s future performance, particularly as it continues to grow its presence in the electric vehicle market.
