2023 Union Budget: Here’s What You Can Expect

Published at January 30, 2023 by BikeJunction

The Union Budget 2023–24, which Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to present on February 1st, is a hot topic across the entire nation. The automotive industry, like every other industry in this nation, has high expectations for this year's budget. Since 2019, there have been more than 295 million registered vehicles in India, according to Statista. The automobile industry in the nation is one of the biggest in the world. It was the world's top two-wheeler manufacturer in 2022. In the domestic market, about 13 million two-wheelers were sold in 2017.

The Indian 2023 Union Budget will be important for the auto sector. Given the government's emphasis on clean energy, several actions can be anticipated to encourage further use of electric vehicles (EVs) and improve the infrastructure growth for the associated ecosystem.

In the financial year beginning April 2023, two-wheelers and tractors are expected to grow at rates of 6-9% and 4-6%, respectively, according to a report by the domestic credit ratings agency ICRA. Passenger and commercial vehicle volumes are also expected to increase by 6-9% and 7-10%, respectively.

However, the research also noted that the two-wheeler market is still experiencing difficulties because its volume is still below its pre-COVID high levels. Although the recent holiday and wedding season raised hopes for better off-take, it is still too early to tell whether demand attitudes have recovered in a sustainable way.

In the auto industry, the incentive for alternative fuel is one of the most important expectations, along with the rationalization of the GST and subsidies for EVs.

Piyush Parag, DVP of Fundamental Research, Sharekhan by BNP Paribas said, “No major direct benefit is expected for Internal combustion segment ( ICs),  while the incentives for promotion of clean fuel (CNG, hybrid, hydrogen, EVs, fame policy etc) etc are key thing to watch out in upcoming budget.  Broader provisions for investment in infrastructure and allocations on rural schemes etc would be noted down for macro readings.”

Kishor Ostwal, CMD, CNI Research believes on the upcoming India budget, “Auto being representative of the economy will be a top priority for Government EVs will get extended benefits.”

Even Arun Agarwal, Vice President, of Kotak Securities agreed on the fact that EVs will get additional support, “Given Government’s focus towards clean energy, some measures can be expected to facilitate further electric vehicle (EV) adoption and to support the development of EV ecosystem in the country. Apart from this, initiatives to support rural income would also indirectly benefit some segments within the auto industry (mainly entry-level two-wheeler segment and the tractor segment).”

Bajaj Tackles CNG Tank Safety Issues in Freedom 125 CNG Bike
July 6, 2024

Bajaj has launched the Freedom 125 in India at a starting price of Rs 95,000. It is the world's first CNG bike, and many customers might worry about the safety of having a CNG tank on a bike. Every year, many CNG cars fail, and bikes are more exposed than cars. Bajaj assures that the bike has been thoroughly tested for safety. The manufacturer says the bike has passed 11 different crash and impact tests at their test facility.How Bajaj Tested the New Freedom 125 CNG Bike Bajaj tested the bike from different angles. In the Front Collision Test, the Freedom 125 CNG bike crashed into a 1.5-ton moving barrier at a speed of 60kmph. Moreover, the company also did a Truck Runover Test, where a 10-ton truck was driven over the CNG bike. This test simulates a situation where the rider falls off and the bike gets run over by a truck. In both the Front Collision Test and the Truck Runover Test, the bike handled the impacts well. The CNG tank stayed in place, kept its shape, and did not leak.Bajaj also performed nine other tests: a Frontal Pendulum Test, a Rear Impact Test, a Left Side Impact Test, a Right Side Impact Test, a Vertical Drop Test, a 50kg Filling Unit Strength Test, two types of CNG Valve Impact Tests (to see if the valve breaks on impact), and a 20G Pull Out Test. Impact tests involved hitting the bike with a moving barrier, while drop tests involved dropping the bike from a height.What is Bajaj Providing in Freedom 125 CNG Bike?Bajaj designed the trellis frame and subframe to keep the CNG cylinder safe. These frames act like cages to protect the cylinder from damage in a crash. The engine is also placed away from the CNG cylinder, so the heat from the engine doesn’t affect the CNG tank. This is important because the CNG tank holds pressurized gas, which can expand when it gets hot.When filling the CNG tank, you need to get off the bike and stand at least 5 feet away. This safety measure at CNG fuel stations helps prevent accidents in case the CNG cylinder explodes.Before you go, don’t forget to check out the June 2024 FADA two-wheeler sales report. Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb                 Instagram -  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta                 Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
