Two-wheeler retail sales volumes likely to have grown in double-digits in July: Anand Rathi 

Analysts expect sales volumes in the segments of passenger vehicles and two-wheelers to have registered modest growth owing to a high base in the corresponding period a year ago. According to Anand Rathi, while retail volumes in two-wheelers are likely to have grown in double-digits in July, those in passenger vehicles are likely to have remained steady. The high base last year, according to the brokerage, was on account of an earlier festive season. 

Anand Rathi has a positive view on the auto space, with Hero MotoCorp and Ashok Leyland as its preferred picks. 

Here's a summary of the brokerage's estimates for auto makers for the month:
