After a sharp gap-down by the Indian indices on Thursday, the auto sector has witnessed strong buying emerging at lower levels. Largely due to robust growth across commercial vehicles and expectations of good demand in passenger vehicles as the festive season commences, the auto stocks have seen a fresh buying interest from investors. Stocks like Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, M&M, and Maruti Suzuki hit their fresh 52-week high levels on Thursday. Considering the bullish interest from the investors lately, here are our top five picks from this category you should bet on for the medium term!
