  • EV Sales Surge in Q1 FY26: Premium Cars and Scooters Drive India’s Auto Evolution

    India’s auto industry is clearly changing due to trends in urban consumption, fiscal consolidation, and unequal rural recovery. With trends shifting every quarter, the third-largest auto market in the world is also one of the most volatile.

    According to a recent study, the first quarter of FY 2025–2026 also points to a variety of tendencies. In the previous quarter, demand for entry-level cars and in rural areas stayed relatively low, according to new Deloitte research called Wheelwatch.

    Urban Aspirations Fuel Premium Auto Segment

    However, the demand for luxury, hybrid, and electric automobiles is rising due to sustainability choices and urban aspirations. Along with the future of EVs, the research analyses important developments from the passenger car and two-wheeler categories.

    State Policies Accelerate EV Adoption in Q1 FY26

    Few state governments updated or introduced new EV policies in Q1 of FY2026. For example, Madhya Pradesh introduced a new five-year EV strategy (2025–2030), while Maharashtra extended its EV policy until 2030 with a target of 30% EV penetration.

    In the meantime, the central government implemented further incentives like a 100% exemption from road tax and registration and a 15% concessional import tariff on premium EVs. Although unequal, EV adoption is speeding up and is focused in states with supportive policies and infrastructure.

    Luxury Bikes and Scooters Gain, Entry-Level Market Falters

    In the first quarter of FY2026, domestic two-wheeler sales fell by 6.2%. When looking closely at the two-wheeler market, motorcycles had a 9.2% decline, while commuter bikes saw a 10.4% decline. The challenges on affordability among lower-income households are reflected in this.

    Conversely, sales of luxury motorbikes increased by 0.9%, indicating strong premium demand, while sales of sports or performance bikes increased by 10.7%. Scooter sales stayed the same, while mass scooters’ market share increased by 2.2% points, indicating a change in urban transportation. EV penetration rose from 4.9% to 6.2% last year due to a 34% increase in electric two-wheeler registrations.

    Kerala Leads EV Penetration Across Two- and Four-Wheelers

    With a 14.9% penetration rate—more than twice the national average—Kerala leads the nation in the adoption of electric two-wheelers. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka come next. In the first quarter of FY2026, passenger automobile sales fell 1.4% year over year.

    Passenger Cars See Mixed Performance Amid Rural Slowdown

    A negative sentiment in rural areas has been blamed for the 7.7% decline in small car sales during this time. Mid-sized cars, on the other hand, increased by 14.6%, indicating that urban purchasers are upgrading for more affordable models.

    The EV segment of passenger cars saw a huge year-over-year increase of 75%, increasing its penetration from 2% in Q1 FY2025 to 3.5%. With an EV penetration rate of 7.9%, Kerala once again took the lead, followed by Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Karnataka, and Maharashtra.

  • Big Four No More: What Does the EY Split Mean?

    The term ‘Big Four’ refers to the world’s largest four professional services networks Deloitte, Ernst & Young (EY), KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC). Their service repertoire ranges from offering audit, assurance, and taxation to management consulting, actuarial, corporate finance, and legal services.

    The Big Four came into existence only in the late 20th century. Previously the market for professional services was dominated by eight big networks that were nicknamed the ‘Big Eight.’ These were Arthur Andersen, Arthur Young, Coopers & Lybrand, Deloitte Haskins and Sells, Ernst & Whinney, Peat Marwick Mitchell, Price Waterhouse, and Touche Ross.

    It was the gradual mergers between all these firms including the collapse of Arthur Andersen in 2002, that left the market being dominated by the ‘Big Four’ in the 21st century. Such was their market domination that in the year 2011, the United Kingdom reported that 99% of the companies in the FTSE 100 index and 96% of the companies in the FTSE 250 index were being audited by one of the Big Four firms.

    Legal Structure of the Big Four
    Criticism
    The EY Split
    The Effect on the Big Four
    Conclusion

    All four firms are, in reality, professional services network that is owned and managed independently. Each of these independent entities has entered into agreements with the other member firms in the network, which, then, share a common name, brand, intellectual property, and quality standards. In an effort to coordinate the activities of the network, each one has established a global entity.

    Of these four, Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Ernst & Young are registered as a UK Limited Company, whereas KPMG’s registration was under the co-ordinating entity of a Swiss association. Under Swiss law, it changed its legal structure to a cooperative in 2003. It was only in the year 2020, that KPMG became a UK-limited company.

    Audit firms help in tracking & keeping records of all financial activities of a business. Here are listed some of the top Audit Firms in India.

    Criticism

    Being market dominant for a number of years, the ‘Big Four’ have had their fair share of controversies and criticisms regarding their business practices and ethics, audit quality, tax avoidance, and alleged collusion amongst them. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in the United States did an analysis in 2019 and reported that the ‘Big Four’ had mismanaged approximately 31% of their audits since 2009 with KPMG having the worst audit failure rate of 36.6%.

    May 2018 saw KPMG being accused of complicity and signing off on Carillion’s inflated figures before the company finally collapsed. Two years later in 2020, PwC was facing allegations of a potential interest conflict in its audit of Sonangol as it played a dual role of consultant and auditor. The same year Deloitte was fined 15 million pounds by the FRC for failing to apply professional skepticism in its audit of Autonomy’s financial statements between 2009 to 2011 before it was acquired by Hewlett-Packard. Wirecard’s collapse in 2020 brought to light the poor auditing of Ernst & Young as it failed to discover the missing cash of 1.9 billion Euros.

    The EY Split

    The firm of Ernst and Young, one of the ‘Big Four’ may be heading for a split separating their accounting and consultancy businesses. A top EY official made the observation that this move will help pay the rising technology bills and might be copied by the other ‘Big Four’ firms.

    In the event of a confirmed split, it would be the biggest in the sector since the collapse of Arthur Andersen. The firm of EY is worth approximately USD 50 billion. EY feels confident that the split will make it easier for the firm to raise capital to invest and create two more lucrative firms. The critics, on the other hand, are showing doubt and saying it may adversely affect the auditing side of the business.

    Andy Baldwin, the Global Managing Partner of EY said that if the deal did not go through due to the currently unsettled financial markets, it could be voted on again at a later date. The fundamental drivers of the deal will remain unchanged. He went on to say “It may come to a timing point, so our plan is that we will continue to what we call soft separation next year, and continue to start to run these two businesses separately, albeit they will continue to be part of the single enterprise of EY.”

    EY’s Big BreakUp Plans

    The Effect on the Big Four

    At the time of writing this article the other firms of the ‘Big Four’ have shown no public interest in a separation of powers. However, in the eye of governing bodies trying to sort out the potential conflicts in the global accounting giants and continue to exert pressure, the other firms may not be left with any other choice. Smaller accounting firms may now see a growth opportunity associated with the split.

    If the time comes when the other ‘Big Four’ firms acknowledge the opportunities associated with the split, the fintech market will see unprecedented growth as automated accounting, spend management, and other fintech software will become an inseparable part and tool of the trade.

    Conclusion

    The CMA, in 2018, announced that it would launch a detailed study of the market dominance of the ‘Big Four’ in the audit sector. The UK Financial Reporting Council in July 2020, asked the Big Four firms to submit their plans to separate their audit and consultancy operations by 2024. However, with the EY split looming on the horizon, it seems it might very well be the beginning of a new chapter in the audit and consulting industry.

    FAQs

    Why are the Big Four accounting firms losing their dominance in the industry?

    Big Four’s decline is caused by factors such as regulation, scandals, tech disruption, evolving client demands, and competition from smaller firms with specialized services and lower costs.

    Is EY no more a part of the Big Four?

    EY has announced that it will go ahead with splitting into its audit and consulting divisions into two separate companies.

    History of Deloitte

    In 1845, William Welch Deloitte set up an accounting enterprise in London. In 1896, Charles Waldo Haskins and Elijah Watt Sells established Haskins & Sells in New York, the first distinguished auditing firm to be founded by American accountants. In 1898, George Touche launched his own accounting firm in London, then merged with John Ballantine Niven in 1900 to build Touche Niven.

    Deloitte witnessed enormous growth, and over time initiated operations in the U.S. In 1952, it joined its U.S. segment with Haskins & Sells to form Deloitte, Haskins & Sells. Touche Niven also acquired success, and after subsequent mergers, it became Touche Ross in 1969. By the 1970s, Touche Ross was the third-largest accountancy firm in the U.K., comprising over 74 offices and 450 partners.

    The 1980s underwent significant turmoil in the industry, with economic disasters such as the savings and loan scam that caused escalated scrutiny and threats to revenues. In response to this, Deloitte, Haskins & Sells planned on merging with Touche Ross to boost both their businesses. This wasn’t acknowledged well as Touche was identified as a maverick, while Deloitte was known as stuffy.

    Despite their contradicting patterns, the two decided to merge, completing the deal in 1989 to form Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd. (DTTL). They both acquired Fortune 500 clients – Deloitte had P&G and G.M., while Touche had Macy’s and Chrysler. Eventually, Deloitte greatly took control, as its chief J. Michael Cook acquired the position of CEO of the new entity. It is now one of the top accounting organizations in the world.
