Foreign brokerage firm USB said, “We remain positive on Maruti, as we expect strong volume growth in FY18-19 driven by implementation of the 7th Pay Commission and a strong model cycle. We expect valuation multiples to remain at the present level, as Maruti has demonstrated its ability to keep up with the premiumization of car demand and has increased its market share in higher-priced segments.

Maruti Suzuki has recommended a dividend of Rs. 75 per share for 2016-17, up from Rs. 35 per share last year.
