Auto stocks: Rising prices fuel downfall

Carmakers mainly Maruti Udyog and Tata Motors that were till sometime back favourite of market players are loosing the attractiveness. There has been continuous selling in these counters in the last few days.

Dealers said the selling is coming on concern of rise in crude prices, which could in turn slowdown the demand for cars.
