Bharat Forge Ltd. shares are drawing investor attention after North American Class 8 truck orders dropped to a seven-month low in March 2025. According to data from ACT Research, March orders stood at 15,700 units—a 14% decline compared to the same month last year and 8% lower than February 2025. This marks the fourth straight month of falling orders, raising concerns about demand trends in a key export market for Bharat Forge, which supplies components for this heavy-duty vehicle segment.

The declining truck orders reflect broader uncertainty in the North American transport and logistics sector. Economic moderation, trade policy concerns, and strategic pauses by private fleets have contributed to weakening order momentum. For Bharat Forge, this slowdown adds pressure, especially as its export exposure to the US stands at 20%.
Additionally, the recent announcement of a 26% reciprocal tariff by the US government on Indian imports has created fresh concerns for Indian manufacturers operating in or exporting to the American market. Although there is no official confirmation on whether Class 8 trucks or their components fall under the new tariff regime, the development has introduced more volatility in market expectations.
Month | Class 8 Orders (Units) | YoY Change | MoM Change |
December 2024 | 21,000 | -6% | — |
January 2025 | 19,800 | -10% | -5.7% |
February 2025 | 17,000 | -12% | -14.1% |
March 2025 | 15,700 | -14% | -8% |
Bharat Forge share price has risen 12% in the last month despite broader concerns, trimming its year-to-date losses to 11.2%. However, continued weakness in North American Class 8 truck orders, along with looming tariff risks, may affect investor sentiment going forward. The company’s focus on optimising its two US-based manufacturing plants could mitigate some impact, but the evolving policy environment will remain crucial for Bharat Forge share price trends in the near term.
