Auto, IT Stocks Skid Amid US Tariff Uncertainty; Maruti, Tech Mahindra Fall Up To 2%
Last Updated: Shares of auto & IT companies declined amid uncertainty over impending hike in US tariffs and absence of a India–US trade agreement Auto, IT Stocks Slide: Shares of auto and IT companies declined on July 7 as uncertainty over the impending hike in US tariffs and the absence of a finalized India–US trade agreement rattled investor sentiment. The Nifty Auto and Nifty IT indices slipped into negative territory, trading at around 23,949 and 39,004, respectively, in the morning session. The 90-day pause on US President Donald Trump's proposed tariff hike is set to expire on July 9, with the new elevated rates expected to come into effect on August 1. So far, India and the US have not announced any formal trade pact. On July 5, President Trump said that the US would send formal letters to 10–12 countries outlining new reciprocal tariffs. Describing these as 'take it or leave it" offers, he said the letters would be dispatched by July 7 and the final rollout would conclude by July 9. 'The money is going to come to the United States from August 1," Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews. Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said India would not rush into any agreement due to external deadlines. 'India does not enter into any trade agreement based on deadlines. We will sign a deal with the US only when it is fully finalised, properly concluded, and in the national interest," Goyal stated. 10% Tariff on BRICS Allies Announced Adding to market anxiety, Trump also announced plans to impose an additional 10% tariff on countries aligning with what he termed the 'anti-American policies of BRICS"—just as Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the BRICS summit. In response, BRICS nations issued a joint statement expressing 'serious concerns" over rising unilateral tariffs and their adverse effects on the global economy. India has already notified the World Trade Organization of its intent to impose retaliatory tariffs in response to Washington's 25% duty on automobiles and auto parts, which could impact $2.89 billion worth of Indian exports. Export-driven sectors bore the brunt of these developments. Maruti Suzuki shares fell over 1% to Rs 12,510, while Bharat Forge dropped nearly 1%. Tata Motors also traded in the red. In the IT pack, Tech Mahindra, Mphasis, and HCL Tech slipped up to 2%. Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Persistent Systems saw marginal losses. Analysts noted that the weakening US dollar and concerns over delayed outsourcing decisions could weigh on IT firms, given their heavy dependence on the US market. 'With the tariff deadline nearing, all eyes are on the anticipated US–India trade deal. Market participants remain optimistic about a favorable resolution, which could serve as a key catalyst for the next leg of the market's upward trajectory," said Bajaj Broking. Harshal Dasani, Business Head at INVasset PMS, stated, 'The mood across Dalal Street is far from celebratory. Both Nifty Auto and Nifty IT indices slipped into the red in early trade, signaling investor caution around sectors directly exposed to Donald Trump's latest tariff regime." He further cautioned that with auto components facing a 25% duty under Section 232 and no exemptions in place, companies like Bharat Forge, Motherson, and Tata Motors are at risk of margin pressure and demand delays from US-based OEMs. 'For IT, the concerns are more indirect—ranging from delays in outsourcing decisions to potential visa restrictions. And while pharma may be insulated, for now, the threat of non-tariff barriers looms large under Trump's 'reciprocal tariff doctrine,'" Dasani concluded.

Global Capacity Centres to drive 35-40% of India's office space absorption in 2025: CBRE
New Delhi [India], July 7 (ANI): India is expected to see strong demand for office spaces in 2025, with Global Capacity Centres (GCCs) projected to absorb 35-40 per cent of the total office space during the year, according to a recent report by CBRE. The report highlighted that India is steadily strengthening its role as a global hub for GCCs. International companies are increasingly turning to India to set up advanced, multi-functional centres due to the country's vast talent pool and cost advantages. These centres are not only expanding but also becoming more sophisticated in terms of the functions they handle. CBRE stated, 'In 2025, GCCs are projected to drive approx. 35-40 per cent of total office space absorption, supported by the consolidation of existing operations and the entry of new players.' The report mentioned that in the first half of 2025 (January to June), office space absorption remained steady, largely driven by expansion-focused leasing from GCCs, domestic corporates, flexible space operators, banking and financial services (BFSI) players, and technology-based companies. As per the report data, India's office sector has recorded its highest-ever leasing and supply in H1 2025, leasing touched 39 mn. sq. ft., up 3 per cent YoY. It also added that while established companies are setting up large campuses in key Indian cities, new entrants are choosing flexible spaces for quick and agile expansion. This approach is helping companies to scale operations efficiently based on changing business needs. Technology remains the primary sector leading the demand for GCC spaces, as companies continue to focus on innovation and advanced solutions. Other sectors expected to drive demand include BFSI, engineering and manufacturing (E&M), semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, and life sciences. CBRE pointed out that U.S.-based companies continue to dominate India's GCC landscape. However, the success of existing operations is also drawing increased interest from companies based in Europe and Asia, which are now expanding their presence in India. Government support through targeted policies is expected to encourage further leasing activity in emerging markets, while existing hubs continue to see steady growth. In addition, the decentralisation of GCCs to tier-II and tier-III cities is gaining momentum, driven by reverse migration trends. The share of these smaller cities in total GCC space absorption is projected to increase from 7 per cent in FY2024 to 15-20 per cent by 2025. Looking at the second half of 2025, the demand for quality office spaces is expected to stay strong as more companies look to consolidate and grow their operations. (ANI)
