ADCI Survey Methodology Summary of Respondents
GAUTOMOTIVEDEALERCONFIDENCE
SEWELLS GROUP
INDEXThe automotive industry in India contributes a significant share to country’s GDP. A healthy domestic market, an active involvement of the government, growth of domestic auto manufacturers and presence of global brands in the country have made sure that this industry has come of age. With everything else being executed on a global scale and with global vision, the Indian auto industry also needs a dealer confidence index.
Globally, confidence indices are viewed as reliable precursors to business performance. Such indices aim to capture and quantify the sentiment of various industry stakeholders – be it CXOs, suppliers, vendors or distribution partners who usually are in the middle of the action. People within the industry typically use these indices to get a sense of stakeholder sentiment and optimize their actions in line with the sentiment. Market analysts, on the other hand, interpret theses indices as ‘lead indicators’ of the performance of a particular industry or sector. An accurately constructed index usually demonstrates a high correlation with actual business performance.

About Sewells GroupAutomotive Dealer ConfidenceIndex
ADCI Survey Methodology Summary of Respondents
In the automotive industry, dealers enjoy a unique position which keeps them close to the customers. They are also in constant touch with factory staff, other dealers, financiers and market intermediaries. Consequently, each dealer has exposure to a plethora of information that in turn shapes his / her views about the future of his business in short / medium term.
The Sewells Group Automotive Dealer Confidence Index (ADCI) captures and quantifies this sentiment from across the length and breadth of the country. The movement of this collective sentiment in the form of an index indicates the direction of the wholesale and the retail sales in the industry. It is published by Sewells India on a quarterly basis.
ADCI allows the stakeholders in the automotive industry to have meaningful conversations well in time, which in turn helps them put together strategies for a superior performance in the market place.

ADCI Survey Methodology Summary of Respondents
TThe Sewells Group ADCI is computed on the basis of responses received to a structured questionnaire from the automotive dealers. The questionnaire attempts to capture their sentiment about economy in general and their business in particular on a six month horizon.
As per the design, the ADCI’s range is between -100 and +100, where an index score of -100 represents the most pessimistic outlook, and +100 indicates the most optimistic outlook. The index is based on how dealers see the overall market and their businesses performing in next six months
The Sewells Group tracks the trend of the index which offers an insight into the future direction of the market. We believe that it is the movement of the index that offers greater insights than its absolute value in a particular quarter.
In this ninth edition of the ADCI, we have captured the sentiment of the dealer fraternity at the end of Jan-March quarter of 2016. The findings of this survey are compared with the findings of the previous eight editions to map the trend.
As always, a questionnaire was sent to the automotive dealers across India. A total of 122 responses were received, from dealers, representing 18 brands. These were used to compute the index. Every effort has been made to ensure that the index is meaningful and representative of the dealer sentiment. However, we advise reader discretion in using the results considering the low sample in some cases.

§ The index for passenger cars segment stood at +37 during April 2016, as compared to +17 during Jan 2016, indicating strengthened optimism of the passenger car dealers.
§ A tremendous Increase in sentiment was seen for the two-wheeler dealers, where the index was at +51 compared +9 at the end of Oct – Dec 2015 quarter. This possibly reflects the growing optimism on account of a good monsoon spurring the sale of motorcycles in rural India.

Accordingly 37% of the dealers stated that they were carrying higher inventory compared to same period last year. However this proportion was 70% in the previous quarter, hence a higher proportion of dealers are comfortable in terms of inventory.
§ 36% of cars dealers and 33% of two wheeler dealers are carrying higher inventory compared to last year. The proportion was very similar in the case of commercial vehicles – 38%
