VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV), a leading player in the Indian commercial vehicle market, is witnessing a remarkable rebound in demand, particularly in the bus segment. Vinod Aggarwal, the Managing Director and CEO of VECV, has expressed confidence that this growth will continue into the fiscal years 2025-26. With increased investments in electric buses and steady demand across various segments, the company aims to not only maintain but exceed its performance in the commercial vehicle space.

Strong Growth in Bus Segment

VECV’s growth in the bus sector has been impressive. According to Aggarwal, one of the primary drivers of the surge in bus sales has been schools, especially in tier-two and tier-three cities, where schools are investing in more buses to meet the growing demand for student transportation. In addition, the staffing segment has bounced back, as the work-from-home trend continues to fade and employees return to office settings. This has led to a surge in demand for buses catering to staff transport services.

Another crucial factor contributing to the robust performance in the bus segment is the rise in intercity coach sales, which is directly linked to the growing demand for travel between cities as pandemic restrictions ease. These shifts are complemented by a noticeable increase in state transport undertakings (STUs), which have ramped up their procurement of heavy-duty buses, contributing to an impressive growth rate of 40-50% in the bus sector.

VECV’s Stellar Performance in November

In November 2024, VECV achieved a 25% increase in bus sales, selling a total of 1,075 units, marking a strong month for the company. Alongside the bus segment, sales of Volvo trucks and buses also showed positive growth, with a 5% increase to 215 units. This performance reflects the strong market position of VECV in the commercial vehicle sector.

Aggarwal’s optimism about outperforming the industry in the commercial vehicle space is grounded in VECV’s strategic focus on expanding its market reach through both conventional and electric buses. As the country shifts towards cleaner and more sustainable modes of transportation, electric buses are expected to play a major role in this transformation. VECV’s push for electric vehicle (EV) adoption further solidifies the company’s plans to lead in this growing segment.

Forecast for 2025-26

Looking ahead, VECV is optimistic about the market's potential. Aggarwal forecasts that the demand for buses will continue to rise through 2025-26, supported by strong investments in electric buses and continued recovery in traditional sectors like school buses and intercity coaches. He also anticipates a shift in the commercial vehicle market towards more eco-friendly options, which is expected to be a significant factor in VECV’s future growth.

VECV’s focus on innovating and expanding in the electric vehicle market aligns well with the global push towards sustainable transportation solutions. This trend, along with the rebound in key sectors, positions the company to continue its trajectory of success. The company’s increased production capacity for both traditional and electric buses will be critical in maintaining its competitive edge in the commercial vehicle market.

As the commercial vehicle market continues to evolve, VECV’s ability to adapt to changing market dynamics and focus on sustainability and innovation will play a key role in its future growth. The company’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has allowed it to maintain a strong market presence, and it looks set to capitalize on the ongoing demand boom.
