Self-correcting mechanisms in placeLooking back at 2011, Indian equity markets were struck by a multitude ofissues, ranging from persistently high inflation, monetary tightening, stallingmining activity to sinking capital formation. The Eurozone crisis made mattersworse, causing global financial markets to become all the more risk-averse.But self-correcting mechanisms are already at play, which should make 2012a better year for Indian equities.
Most importantly, cooling of inflation and consequently interest rates shouldend the spell of margin compression, which has afflicted corporate earningsin the past several quarters. Also, India's widening current account deficithas been another macro overhang. But, here again, even at 49-50 levels, the10-12% INR depreciation, in our view, should provide the requisite boost toIndia's exports to gradually self-correct the deficit.
Expect 19,300 Sensex by December 2012
Sensex FY2012 earnings growth is likely to be modest as high inflation andinterest rates have battered margins. But with this scenario on its way tochanging in FY2013, we expect the earnings growth rate to improve from9.5% in FY2012 to 16.2% in FY2013. Also, in our view, risks that the governmentinertia continues and GDP growth remains at ~7% have already been largelyfactored in valuations by the market. We believe this offers a favorablerisk-return trade-off, considering that several domestic negatives can be reversedby quick, simple and rational policy actions. For instance, quick approval ofFDI reforms in aviation and insurance, among others, as well as pick-up ininfrastructure ordering activity are low-hanging fruits. Already, ordering activityby NHAI and Power Grid is reasonably robust, and it is a matter of time beforeothers would follow suit. The financial troubles of SEBs is another unnecessarycrisis that is finally changing with recent tariff hikes. Amongst more difficult topush-through are measures to end the mining logjam, but in our view thegovernment will soon have to balance environmental concerns and expeditemining and land acquisition to step up GDP growth.
In fact, we do not expect domestic factors alone to have the capacity to triggernew lows for the markets. It is only the Eurozone crisis that may still lead tovolatility in the near term, but policymakers there as well are taking steps toavert any crisis event - accordingly, as of now we are basing our market viewon a likely orderly outcome in the Eurozone. Considering that valuations are alsoreasonable, with domestic macro indicators improving and with earnings trajectorylikely to follow suit, we have a target of 19,300 for the Sensex by December 2012.
Select stocks to give better returns
Looking beyond the Sensex, there are a host of good investment opportunitiesin our view in companies across several sectors, such as banking, IT andpharma. On the other hand, there are sectors such as capital goods and cementwhere we still remain cautious. In this compendium, we have therefore givenan overview of our entire coverage universe of 160+ stocks, having a combinedmarket capitalization of ~`40lakh cr. Currently, we have a Buy recommendationon 82 of these, broadly preferring companies having high-quality cyclical businessesrather than high-quality defensives. Also, we have covered several mid caps,which in our view offer enormous potential - either because they are leadingbrands within their sectors trading cheaply or belong to high-growth sectorsbenefitting from rural, export or consumption themes.

past 4-5 months due to concerns of slower global growth prospects.However, crude oil prices have remained sticky at elevated levels,with Brent averaging ~US$113/barrel in FY2012YTD as comparedto FY2011 average of US$87/barrel. But looking at earlier trendsin peak crude oil expenditure as a percentage of global GDPover the past decade, we believe crude prices are close totheir peak levels and expect crude to moderate going forward,thereby increasing headroom for monetary easing and loweringthe current account deficit.
Reversal of rate cycle expected to boost corporate earningsgrowth in FY2013: Cooling of inflation and consequently interestrates should end the spell of margin compression, which hasafflicted corporate earnings in the past several quarters.We expect the scenario to improve in FY2013E with the peakingof inflation and interest rate cycle. Hence, while FY2012 earningsgrowth is likely to be modest, cooling inflation and interest ratesshould underpin healthier growth in FY2013. Hence, we expectSensex EPS growth to improve from 9.5% in FY2012 to 16.2%in FY2013.

Self-correcting mechanisms in placeLooking back at 2011, Indian equity markets were struck by amultitude of issues, ranging from persistently high inflation,sledgehammer monetary policy, surging subsidies, plunging INRto falling domestic gas production, stalling mining activity andsinking capital formation. The Eurozone crisis made mattersworse, causing global financial markets to become all the morerisk-averse. But self-correcting mechanisms are already at play,which should make 2012 a better year for Indian equities.
Multiple benefits out of reversal of inflation and interestrate cycle: In spite of slowing domestic growth, inflation hasstubbornly remained above the RBI's indicated comfort levelof 5-5.5% for two years now and above the 9% mark for 14consecutive months. However, finally the WPI inflation trajectoryhas moderated, as evident from the 7.5% reading in December2011, after hitting the double-digit mark in September 2011.Most importantly, primary inflation is on retreat and it is only amatter of time before manufacturing inflation also cools off inthe backdrop of the policy-induced growth slowdown.

Oil too may soften in-line with the fall in other commodities:Almost all commodities (be it metals, iron ore or coal) havecorrected by a considerable 20-25% in USD terms over the
With inflation declining, the RBI has signalled a softening ofits monetary policy stance to stimulate the slowing domesticgrowth momentum. The Central Bank has started with infusing`70,000cr of liquidity through Open Market Operations (OMO)and `30,000cr through a CRR cut. In the months to come, thisis likely to be followed up with more liquidity infusion and eventuallyrate cuts as well, provided inflation keeps cooling on expectedlines. Capital-intensive sectors have been battered with elevatedinterest burden for quite a while now; hence, relief on this frontis likely to be a major catalyst in pushing up overall growth.
INR depreciation to boost export growth: India's wideningcurrent account deficit has been another macro overhang oflate, ballooning from the already high 3% levels, but this wasbeing masked by capital flows earlier. But with this kind of ahigh current account deficit, we had maintained the view thatthe INR was likely to depreciate, and this finally got accentuatedonce capital flows diminished recently. Now, even after retracingsome of the losses, at 49-50 levels the 10-12% INR depreciation(not just against the USD but also the Chinese Yuan) in ourview should provide the requisite boost to India's exports to graduallyself-correct the deficit. Within our coverage universe, the majorbeneficiaries of INR depreciation are not surprisingly expectedto be the IT, pharma and export-oriented auto ancillary companies.Amongst these, in our view, while valuations do not leave muchupsides in IT, we still have a positive outlook on pharma.
Policy reforms could add further boost: The risk that governmentinertia continues and GDP growth remains at ~7% is, in ourview, already largely factored in valuations by the market.We believe this offers a favorable risk-return trade-off, consideringthat several of the policy issues can be reversed by quick, simpleand rational policy actions that can have an immediate positiveimpact and minimal negative fallout for all stakeholders.
Infrastructure spending: Pick-up in infrastructure ordering activityby government bodies in roads, ports and power transmission,among others, is one of the low-hanging fruits that would onlyhave beneficiaries. Already, ordering activity by NHAI and Power

Indian equities have already got de-rated and are now tradingat a substantial discount to their long-term trading range, factoringin the negatives. Based on one-year forward earnings, the Sensexis trading at 13.4x, which translates into a considerable 20%discount to its five-year trading average.
Grid is reasonably robust and it is a matter of time before othergovernment bodies would follow suit.
Quickly pushing non-contentious FDI reforms: The balanceof payments concerns can be addressed further by potentialFDI reforms in aviation, education and insurance to begin with,which are not contentious like retail FDI.
Resolving SEB woes: The financial troubles of SEBs is anotherexample of irrational policies that can and should be quicklyset straight. So far, reported losses have been as high as ̀ 63,550cr,owing to inadequate/nil tariff hikes, power theft and high AT&Closses. This unnecessary crisis is finally changing with muchrequired tariff revisions recently - 22 states have hiked tariffs -and we continue to hold the view that SEBs are unlikely tobecome NPAs for banks or the main culprits for low PLFs ofpower companies (in our view, fuel availability is the key issuefor the power sector).
Addressing the fuel crisis: Fuel shortage due to the mininglogjam is one of the more serious issues that the governmentneeds to addres sooner rather than later. It does not make sensethat a developing country like India, with a demographic dividendto take advantage of, is importing increasing quantities of eventhose resources that are abundantly available to it (read coal).Even in case of steel, we are a net importer; while, on the otherhand, we have been exporting 50% of our annual iron ore production(now mired in mining bans).
In fact, despite being the fifth largest in reserve size, India'sexpensive coal imports continue to rise alarmingly on accountof domestic shortage. Considering growth in user industries(power, cement and metals), India's coal demand is expectedto grow from 625mn tonnes in FY2011 to 855mn tonnes inFY2015. While production has been constrained, India's coalimports are likely to surge from 89mn tonnes in FY2011 to175mn tonnes in FY2015. Production from newer mines hasbeen lower on account of time-consuming clearance processes(mainly environment clearance and forest clearance). Further,land acquisition issues have been a big bottleneck.
Hence, we hold the view that considering the small land requirementand deforestation implications for mining coal and iron ore ascompared to the economic benefits, eventually in the near-to-medium term the government will have to balance environmentalconcerns and expedite mining and land acquisition bills as wellas the actual auctioning and regulatory clearance of coal andiron ore blocks in order to step up GDP growth.
Expect 19,300 Sensex by December 2012Valuations are cheap; Earnings downgrades behind us: Indianmarkets fell sharply in CY2011 and were one of the worstperformers across the globe. This was mainly due to high inflationand interest rates taking a toll, reflected in GDP growth fallingto 7%. Consequently, earnings growth trajectory for India Inc.also weakened considerably, as evident from poor 2QFY2012earnings and similar expectations in the immediate short termas well.
All this has resulted in the most important ingredient for healthystock returns to fall in place - cheap valuations. Valuations of

Earnings likely to get a fillip from reversal of inflation andinterest rate cycle: Sensex FY2012 earnings growth is likelyto be modest as high inflation and interests have battered margins.But with this scenario on its way to changing in FY2013, weexpect the earnings growth rate to improve from 9.5% in FY2012to 16.2% in FY2013. Also, the risk that the government inertiacontinues and GDP growth remains at ~7% is, in our view,already being largely factored in valuations by the market.We believe this offers a favorable risk-return trade-off, consideringthat several of the domestic negatives can be reversed by quick,simple and rational policy actions.
In fact, we do not expect domestic factors alone to have thecapacity to trigger new lows for the markets. It is only the Eurozonecrisis that may still lead to continued volatility in the near term,but policymakers there as well are taking steps to avert anycrisis event. While fiscal discipline and resultant deflation inthe weaker countries could improve economic competitiveness,this would be a more painful solution for their respective citizens.We believe an orderly exit by some of the weaker countriesfrom the Euro and subsequent currency devaluation by themto boost exports and employment would be a more long-lastingsolution. But in either of the two scenarios, as of now we arebasing our market view on a likely orderly outcome in the Eurozone.
Considering that valuations are also reasonable and several ofthe domestic macro indicators such as inflation, interest ratesand current account are either already improving or set to improvein the coming quarters with earnings trajectory likely to followsuit, we have a positive outlook on markets. We have a targetof 19,300 for the Sensex by December 2012, assigning a multipleof 15x FY2013E earnings, in-line with the long-term average.Our target implies an upside of ~15% from current levels.
Select stocks to give better returns: Looking beyond the Sensex,there are a host of good investment opportunities in our viewin companies across several sectors such as banking, IT andpharma. For instance, we remain positive on Axis Bank andL&T, which we believe are strong structural stories available atcyclically low valuations. On the other hand, there are sectorssuch as capital goods and cement where we still remain cautious.

Industry argumentsIndian domestic market to post steady growth: The Indian organized agrichemicalindustry is estimated at ~US$1bn (`5,000cr, as of FY2009) i.e., 0.1% of thecountry's total GDP and 0.6% of agriculture GDP. Currently, the industry is mostlydominated by unorganized players. This provides a scope for organized playersto grow higher than the industry's growth of 13-14%. We believe organized playersare well placed to seize this high-growth opportunity on account of theirwell-spread distribution network, strong brands and robust new product pipeline.
Agro-generic markets can at least expect a 6-8% CAGR, in-line with historicalperformance: Apart from domestic opportunities, the global agrichemical industryalso offers opportunities in the form of generics. Agrichemical companies havebeen reducing their manufacturing capacity of low-value off-patent proprietaryproducts, thus paving way for the growth of generic players.
Consequently, generic firms, especially in the Indian space, are in a sweetspot, given their cost advantage. The global agrichemical industry, valued atUS$40bn (CY2008), is dominated by the top six innovators, who enjoy alarge market share of the patented (28%) and off-patent (32%) market. Pertinently,the top six innovators also enjoy a large share of the off-patent market due tohigh entry barriers for pure generic players. Thus, one-third of the total pieworth US$13bn (controlled by the top six innovators through proprietaryoff-patent products) provides a high-growth opportunity for larger integratedgeneric Indian players such as United Phosphorus (UPL).
Generic players have been garnering a high market share, increasing from32% levels in 1998 to 40% by 2006-end. The industry registered a 3% CAGRover 1998-2006, while generic players outpaced the industry with a 6% CAGR.Going ahead, assuming this trend plays out in terms of growth for the agrichemicalindustry and the same rate of genericisation occurs, the agrichemical genericindustry could log in 6-8% yoy growth during the period.
CRAMS - An opportunity on the anvil: Global agrichemical companies havebeen reducing the manufacturing capacity of low-value products to concentrateon higher-value products. Conversely, they are maintaining their strong holdon off-patent active ingredients (AI) through outsourcing the same. For instance,Bayer CropScience reduced its portfolio by 29 actives during 2000-06.
Sales of patented products constituted approximately one-third of the totaland another one-third is proprietary off-patent (patent of the molecule hasexpired but no credible generic brand has been able to garner significantmarket share from the patented brand). China has come to be known as theworld's factory and this fact remains the same for agrichemicals as well. However,to diversify risks arising from a single location manufacturing base, many MNCshave been looking at other countries. Here, Indian agrichemical manufacturerscan position themselves as suitable alternatives to their Chinese counterparts.
Many players, including Rallis India (RAIL), plan to selectively target this opportunityby supplying AI to top industry players. As an illustration, RAIL is targetingcumulative revenue of ̀ 1,000cr over the next five years from this segment alone.
Outlook and valuation: The outlook for the Indian agrichemical industry, giventhe growth opportunities, is likely to remain strong. However, currently giventhe low breadth of our coverage, our top pick is UPL, given its attractivevaluations, which discount most of the negatives.

Innovators dominant in the off-patent space; Generic playersin a sweet spot
The global agrichemical industry is dominated by the top sixinnovators, viz. Bayer, Syngenta, Monsanto, BASF, DuPont andDow, which enjoy a large market share of patented (28%) andoff-patent (32%) markets. Pertinently, the top six innovatorsalso enjoy a large share of the off-patent market due to thehigh entry barriers for pure generic players. Thus, one-third ofthe total pie worth US$13bn (controlled by the top six innovatorsthrough proprietary off-patent products) provides a high growthopportunity for larger integrated generic players like UPL.

Generic segment’s market share to increaseGeneric players have been garnering a high market share, increasingfrom 32% levels in 1998 to 40% by 2006. Over 1998-2006,while the industry registered a CAGR of 3%, generic playersoutpaced the industry by posting a 6% CAGR during the period.Going ahead, given the opportunities and drop in rate of newmolecule introduction by innovators, we expect generic playersto continue to outpace the industry's growth and increase theirmarket share in the overall pie. Historically, the global agrichemicalindustry has been logging in-line growth with global GDP. Goingahead, over CY2009-11E, the global economy is expected togrow by 3-4%. Assuming this trend plays out in terms of growthfor the agrichemical industry and the same rate of genericisationoccurs, the agrichemical generic industry can log in growth of6-8% during the period and garner a market share of 44-45%.

High investments - Formidable entry barrierThe global agrichemical industry is highly consolidated, primarilydue to high entry barriers of significant and upfront investmentsrequired for product registration and to set up manufacturingfacilities. As a result, price competition is limited due to thesubstantial investments involved. Moreover, unlike thepharmaceutical sector, where bioequivalence of molecule canhelp a company get the permission to sell medicines, companiesin the agrichemical sector have to compulsorily undergo fieldtrials for each molecule and in each geography where the productswould be marketed. Field trials are carried out by independentagencies across crops and seasons, which could take anywherebetween 2-5 years, depending on the market (U.S. and EU)and government regulations. Thus, the process requires highinvestments both monetary and time, thereby restrictingcompetition.
Additional products going off-patent to boost growth
As per NuFarm and MAI, patents worth US$3bn-4bn (sales asof 2007) would expire during 2009-14, further widening theopportunity for generic players. Source: Company, Angel Research

The trend is already well established - Top generic companiesgetting stronger
New entrants are also faced with another challenge of gainingentry into the existing distribution network. In most markets,agrichemical sales and distribution have evolved to becomeorganized businesses and are controlled by few players. Forinstance, Tenkoz, Inc. is the largest agrichemical distributor inthe U.S., with combined purchases representing 25% of theU.S. agrichemical market. Hence, to enter this market, a newplayer needs to have a basket of products to gain shelf space.But, a large product offering entails substantial investments interms of time and money. This is evident from the fact that 53%of the generic market (one-third of the agrichemical industry)is controlled by the four largest generic players, including UPL.In all, around 81% of the industry is controlled by few players,making agrichemicals a highly consolidated sector.

Company BackgroundUnited Phosphorus Ltd. (UPL) is a global generic crop-protection, chemicalsand seeds company. The company is fully integrated, which enables it totake advantage of the consolidated opportunities within the agrichemicalindustry. UPL is the largest Indian agrichemical company, reporting revenueof ~US$1.3mn as of March 2011.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The Indian agrichemical industry, estimated at ~US$1bn(`5,000cr) at the end of FY2009, contributed 0.1% to India's total GDPand 0.6% to its agriculture GDP. The pesticides industry can easily grow at13-14%, in-line with GDP growth, with organized players, such as RAIL,likely to grow at a higher rate because of greater share of unorganized players.
Apart from domestic opportunities, the global agrichemical industry alsooffers opportunities in the form of generics and contract manufacturing.Agrichemical companies have been reducing the manufacturing capacity oflow-value off-patent proprietary products. Approximately, one-third of totalagrichemical sales are estimated to be that of proprietary off-patent. Assumingthis trend plays out in terms of growth for the agrichemical industry and thesame rate of genericisation occurs, the agrichemical generic industry couldlog in 6-8% yoy growth during the period. With drugs going off-patent eachyear, generics represent a major outsourcing opportunity for agrichemicalproducers in India.
Competitive position: UPL figures among the top five global generic agrichemicalplayers, with presence across major markets, including the U.S., EU,Latin America and India.
Nature of business: Highly dependent on monsoons; Highly competitivedomestic industry, while exports possess high legal barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsInnovators dominant in the off-patent space: The global agrichemical industry,valued at US$40bn (CY2008), is dominated by the top six innovators, whoenjoy a large market share of the patented (28%) and off-patent (32%) market.Pertinently, the top six innovators also enjoy a large share of the off-patentmarket due to high entry barriers for pure generic players. Thus, one-third ofthe total pie provides a high-growth opportunity for larger integrated genericplayers such as UPL.
Generic segment's market share to increase: Generic players have beengarnering a high market share, increasing from 32% in 1998 to 40% by2006-end. The industry registered a 3% CAGR over 1998-2006, while genericplayers outpaced the industry with a 6% CAGR. Given the opportunitiesand a drop in the rate of new molecule introduction by innovators, we expectgeneric players to continue to outpace the industry's growth and increasetheir market share in the overall pie garnering a market share of 44-45%.
Valuation: Generics are expected to register healthy growth due to increasingpenetration and wresting market share from innovators and patent expiriesduring 2009-14. We maintain our Buy rating with a target price of `̀̀̀̀182.

The company hasa credible presence in the international market. Pesticide accounts for 97%of the company's total revenue, while plant nutrients, seeds and leatherchemicals constitute the balance. Historically, contribution from the domesticbusiness has stood at ~77%, while exports accounted for the balance.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The Indian agrichemical industry, estimated at ~US$1bn(`5,000cr) at the end of FY2009, contributed 0.1% to India's total GDPand 0.6% to its agriculture GDP. The pesticides industry can easily grow at13-14%, in-line with GDP growth, with organized players, such as RAIL,expected to grow at a higher rate on account of greater share of unorganizedplayers.
Apart from domestic opportunities, the global agrichemical industry alsooffers opportunities in the form of generics and contract manufacturing.Agrichemical companies have been reducing the manufacturing capacity oflow-value off-patent proprietary products. Approximately, one-third of totalagrichemical sales are estimated to be that of proprietary off-patent. Assumingthis trend plays out in terms of growth for the agrichemical industry and thesame rate of genericisation occurs, the agrichemical generic industry couldlog in 6-8% yoy growth during the period. With drugs going off-patent eachyear, generics represent a major outsourcing opportunity for agrichemicalproducers in India.
Competitive position: RAIL is the second largest pesticide agrichemicalcompanies in the country with a market share of ~13%.
Nature of business: Highly dependent on monsoons; Highly competitivedomestic industry, while exports possess high legal barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsSet to seize rising opportunities in the domestic pesticides market: India'soverall pesticide consumption is one of the lowest in the world, and webelieve RAIL is well placed to seize this opportunity on the back of its widedistribution network, strong brands and robust new product pipeline.
Contract manufacturing to be the next growth driver: RAIL plans to focuson contract manufacturing for exports and selectively target and supply totop players. To facilitate the same, the company is setting up a new plant atDahej. Overall, RAIL targets to achieve cumulative revenue of `1,000cr overthe next five years from this segment alone.
Valuation: Management is confident of the prospects for key crops (cotton andpaddy) due to generally normal monsoons, which should aid continued healthygrowth in the agrichemical industry. RAIL expects to outperform the industry,given its product pipeline. At current levels, the stock is trading at fair valuationsof 13.8x FY2013E EPS. Hence, we remain Neutral on the stock.

Structural growth potential intactThe Indian automotive industry has been one of the biggest beneficiaries ofthe consistent economic growth in the country over the past decade. WhileIndia's GDP expanded at an 8.6% CAGR over FY2002-11, overall auto salesgrew by 14.2%. This can be attributed to structural growth drivers such asGDP growth (leading to increasing affluence of rural and urban consumers),favorable demographics, low penetration levels, entry of global players andeasy availability of finance. Given our expectations of healthy medium-termeconomic growth of 8%, we believe long-term structural growth drivers areintact, which should support a 12-13% CAGR in auto volumes.
India's automotive industry, though one of the fastest growing, is still dominatedby two-wheelers (2W), which account for 76% of the total industry, whilepassenger vehicles (PV) and commercial vehicles (CV) make up for 16% and4%, respectively. We estimate the growth opportunity to be significantly higherin the PV and CV segments than the 2W segment on account of low penetrationlevels when compared to other emerging economies such as China and Brazil.
Near-term environment to improve: We expect the near-term environment toturn positive for the PV and CV industry, with the likely easing of interest rates.Our volume growth estimates for FY2013 across segments are enumerated below.
Passenger vehicles: We forecast PV volume growth to rebound and growover 13% in FY2013 (vs. 2% in FY2012), led by revival in demand for passengercars (PC) with likely easing of interest rates. We believe India's PC industryis at an inflexion point, with GDP per capita (PPP basis) crossing US$3,000levels, considered to be a tipping point for motorization to take off.
Commercial vehicles: While freight rates continue to hold up well, industrialactivity is expected to pick up on the likely easing of interest rates, which isexpected to revive medium and heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) demandgoing ahead. We forecast MHCV demand to register 12-13% growth in FY2013from moderate 6-7% growth expected in FY2012. We expect the light commercialvehicle (LCV) segment to grow at a faster rate (18% CAGR over FY2011-13E)than the overall CV segment (14.5% CAGR), as we expect penetration of thehub and spoke models to increase to more cities and towns going ahead.
Two-wheelers: We expect 2W volume growth to moderate and post a 13.3%CAGR over FY2011-13E, after reporting a strong 26% CAGR over FY2009-11. Motorcycle sales are expected to post a 13.2% CAGR, while scooterssales are expected to outperform with an 18.5% CAGR over FY2011-13E.
Competition to intensify: We expect competition to remain intense across allthe automotive segments; however, it is likely to be tougher in the 2W segment asHonda Motorcycle and Scooters India (HMSI) has announced its plans to launchnew models at aggressive price points in FY2013. Also, the PV segment is likelyto witness heightened competition, led by new model launches, which are expectedto keep Maruti Suzuki's (MSIL) market share under threat. Further, competition inthe MHCV space is expected to be higher, marked by the entry of Mahindra andMahindra (M&M) and Daimler. Despite higher competitive intensity affecting pricingpower, softening of commodity prices recently is expected to provide margin stability.
Outlook and valuation: Against the backdrop of likely easing of interest rates, weexpect demand revival in the four-wheeler (4W) segment. Hence, we remain positiveon Ashok Leyland (AL) and M&M. We also prefer Bajaj Auto (BJAUT) in the 2Wspace due to its strong growth traction in exports markets and superior margin profile.

Low penetration levels offer a long-term growth opportunity
The Indian passenger vehicle (PV) industry, which comprisespassenger cars (~80%, of which ~78% is dominated by thesmall car segment), utility vehicles (~13%) and vans (~7%) isamongst the largest PV markets in the world. However, thisbelies the fact that as compared to developed markets andmost developing markets, India's PV penetration remains relativelylow at 12 per 1,000 people compared to 451, 158 and 27 per1,000 for U.S., Brazil and China, respectively. With India's GDPexpected to grow at a sustainable rate of ~8% in the mediumterm, we expect GDP per capita (PPP basis, currently atUS$3,586) to also grow at a healthy rate. Noticeably, as seenthrough cross-country analysis, motorization rates tend to acceleratewhen GDP per capita (PPP basis) crosses ~US$3,000.Accordingly, we believe the domestic PV industry is at an inflexionpoint and likely to witness sustainable long-term growth,driven by strong per capita income levels and a favorabledemographic profile.

Drawing parallels to China
In 2002, China's PV market was 1.2x the size of India's PVmarket. However, over FY2002-11, PV demand in China hasrisen at a meteoric rate, reporting a 38.4% CAGR, driven bystrong sustainable economic growth, rising per capita incomelevels and structural changes. This is extremely high comparedto a 17% CAGR witnessed in India's PV demand over the sameperiod. Consequently, China's PV market is now ~6x the IndianPV market. However, importantly, India's GDP per capita inFY2008 was similar to that of China in 2002, the year when itsmotorization started to gain momentum. Therefore, we believeIndian markets also offer similar opportunities, led by improvingroad infrastructure, urbanization, larger segment of populationentering the affordability zone and rising aspiration levels ofIndian consumers.

Being a cyclical industry, demand has witnessed a sharp slowdownsince the beginning of FY2012 on account of rising inflation,interest rates and fuel prices. Nonetheless, we expect volumegrowth to recover in FY2013, backed by the likely easing ofinterest rates coupled with structural growth drivers. Thus, weexpect the domestic passenger vehicle industry to register a8-10% CAGR over FY2011-13E.

11Semi urban India holds a strong potential
According to industry sources, ~40% of PV sales in India arederived from the top 10 cities, suggesting that demand in otherparts of the country remains untapped. Further, while 70% oftotal households in India reside in rural and semi-urban areas,automobile penetration levels there are still very low (just 3%for PV as per NCAER). However, government initiatives suchas higher MSP for agricultural commodities and implementationof the Sixth Pay Commission coupled with increasing land pricesacross the country are putting more disposable income in thehands of semi-urban consumers, thereby fuelling growth.Additionally, with OEMs now actively focussing on semi-urbanmarkets and tier I I and I I I cities by increasing their reach,we expect demand to remain strong and, hence, drive overallindustry demand.
Competitive intensity expected to remain high
Growth potential of the Indian car market and strong performancereported by the industry in the last decade have attracted manyglobal OEMs to India. To gain a foothold in the domestic market,most OEMs have launched new models (especially in the compactsegment) designed specifically for the Indian consumers, therebyincreasing competition in the market. However, among the newlaunches in FY2012, we believe Eon from Hyundai, Liva from Toyotaand Brio from Honda will be key threats to market leader MarutiSuzuki. We expect the competitive intensity in the industry to remainhigh, with 10 to 12 new product launches planned in 2013.

Commercial vehiclesDemand for the commercial vehicle (CV) industry in India isdriven by GDP growth in general and IIP growth in particular.Over FY2002-11, India's GDP and IIP grew at CAGRs of 8.6%and 8.9%, respectively, driving domestic CV volumes, whichregistered a 18.9% CAGR over the same period. Further, ithas been observed that whenever MHCV sales fall, LCV salesfollow suit and tend to decline. However, the trend has beendivergent since FY2006, with LCV sales growing faster thanMHCV sales, thereby shielding overall CV growth to a certainextent from the cyclical downturn. During April-November 2011,while the domestic CV industry posted strong growth of 20.0%yoy, riding on robust 29.3% growth in LCVs, MHCV sales postedmodest 9.4% yoy growth.

MHCV demand to follow IIP growth
Demand for MHCV is cyclical and correlates with the level ofindustrial activity in the economy. MHCV volumes fell sharplyin FY2009 due to slowdown in industrial production and contractionin liquidity. However, volumes recovered over FY2009-11(~33% CAGR), driven by strong economic activity and improvementin the operating environment for fleet operators, which benefitedfrom higher freight availability, firm freight rates and relativelylower financing rates.
With the expected easing of interest rates from 1QFY2013and GDP to register a 8% CAGR over FY2011-13, we expectthe demand scenario for MHCV to improve, leading to a10-12% CAGR over the same period. Further, government initiativessuch as improving road connectivity, infrastructure development

and significant capacity addition in steel, power, cement andautomobile sectors also augur well for MHCV demand.
LCV to outperform MHCV
LCV's, which are used primarily for last mile transport applications,have posted a strong 22.6% CAGR between FY2002 and FY2011,playing a vital role in the overall growth of the CV industry. Thisstrong growth, in part, is primarily due to the creation of a newsegment of small CVs (SCV), with a payload of less than onetonne (initiated by Tata Motors with the launch of the Ace in2005). Over the past few years, the number of SCV applicationshas expanded significantly, not only within cities but also insmaller towns and rural markets. As a result, LCV sales as aproportion of total CV volume increased from 35% in FY2001to 53% in FY2011.
Despite headwinds building up, the LCV segment continues togrow steadily and has so far managed to buck the overall slowdownwitnessed in other segments. The SCV segment, which accountsfor over 75% of the LCV market, is driving growth on the backof strong demand for transportation of consumer goods withincities and replacement demand from upper-end three wheelers.Thus, we expect the LCV segment to grow at a 15% overFY2011-13E, driven by increasing structural factors such aspreference for low payload vehicles, proliferation of the huband spoke model and new launches.
Competition: New entrants to join in
The Indian CV industry is currently operating as a duopoly, withthe top two players accounting for over 85% market share inthe MHCV and LCV segments each.
The MHCV segment is dominated by Tata Motors and AshokLeyland with a market share of 60% and 26%, respectively.However, several international OEMs, including Daimler, Man,Navistar (through JV with MM) and Volvo (through JV with EicherMotors), have entered the MHCV space and have either launchedor are in the process of introducing their vehicles in the domesticmarket, thereby increasing competition. We believe MM couldemerge as a formidable competitor, given its strong brand equityin the pick-up and UV segments, knowledge of the domesticmarket and established vendor and distribution network. Also,Daimler has invested EUR700mn for its new product BharatBenz and is likely to compete aggressively in the market.

While Tata Motors continues to dominate the LCV space witha 56% market share, led by the success of Tata Ace, it hasbeen losing market share to MM post the launch of Maxximo in2010. Strong growth witnessed in the SCV segment and itsgrowing market size have prompted several players to enterthe segment. Piaggio, Force Motors and Ashok Leyland (JVwith Nissan) have already rolled out new products in the markets,leading to higher competition. As such, we expect Tata Motorsto continue to lose its market share going ahead.

While demand islikely to sustain going ahead supported by rising income levels,young population, increasing demand from rural India and hugepotential for exports, we expect growth in 2W volumes to moderate

Penetration levels to improve on rising income levels
Despite rapid growth in the 2W industry over the last decade,2W penetration level in India remains low at ~7% compared to~9% and ~14% in emerging countries like China and Indonesia,respectively. Penetration in terms of total households is alsolower at ~36% as compared to other emerging markets suchas Indonesia, China and Thailand. However, it appears higherat ~74%, considering households with income levels above`90,000 (assuming that households having annual income lessthan `90,000 do not have the ability to own a 2W). This suggeststhat strong growth, driven primarily by increasedpenetration levels, will be difficult to sustain over an extendedperiod. Therefore, we expect domestic 2W sales growth todecelerate in the longer run.

Rural demand - The key growth driver
Demand for 2Ws is expected to have grown faster in rural areascompared to urban markets over the last few years, as reflectedby the fact that Hero MotoCorp's (industry leader) contributionto sales from rural India has increased from ~38% in FY2009to ~46% in 2QFY2012.
2Ws are the cheapest and efficient medium of commuting; thus,we expect 2W growth buoyancy in rural markets to continue,led by increasing government spending and rising income levelson the back of increased MSP for crops and other non-agrariansources of income for rural consumers.

Huge export potential
India's motorcycle exports have registered a substantial 25%CAGR over FY2006-11, backed by India's low-cost manufacturingcapabilities, reliance on offering quality products and exploringnewer geographies. Key export markets for Indian players includeAfrica (Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda), Middle East, South Asia,Latin America (Colombia and Peru) and Southeast Asia(Sri Lanka and Bangladesh). Though Indian players competewith recognized global majors like Honda and Yamaha and cost-efficient Chinese manufacturers, they have been successful inincreasing their market share in existing geographies and ventureinto newer ones. BJAUT and TVSL are the two largest motorcycleexporters in the country, accounting for ~64% and ~14% ofthe total motorcycles exported from India, respectively.

With a sizeable market size and rising per capita income indeveloping nations, which have demographic profiles similarto India, we believe Indian players are favorably placed to leverageupon their domestic experience and enter newer geographies(Brazil and few African countries). As a result, we expect motorcycleexports to continue to grow at a faster rate than domestic growthand register a CAGR of 14-15% over FY2011-13E.
Competition to get tougher
The overall 2W industry in India is dominated by HMCL, BJAUTand TVS Motor (TVSL), with a market share of 40.5%, 25.4%and 15.1%, respectively. The motorcycle segment (~78% ofthe total 2W market) is expected to witness intense competitionin the wake of the termination of the joint venture between theHero Group and Honda Motors and Scooters India (HMSI).Post the split with HMCL, HMSI has turned aggressive and
has announced significant capacity expansion plans (4mn unitsby 1HCY2013 from 1.6mn in March 2011) coupled with newmodel launches, importantly in the <125cc motorcycle segment.Currently, HMCL leads the <125cc motorcycle segment (71%share), led by Splendor and Passion; whereas, BJAUT commandsa leadership position in the >125cc motorcycle segment (51.4%)on the back of the strength of Pulsar. However, with the impendinglaunch of new motorcycles by HMSI, HMCL's market share seemsmore vulnerable to rising competition as compared to BJAUT.

Outlook and valuation: Against the backdrop of likely easingof interest rates, we expect demand revival in the four-wheeler(4W) segment. Hence, we remain positive on Ashok Leyland(AL) and M&M. We also prefer Bajaj Auto (BJAUT) in the 2Wspace due to its strong growth traction in exports markets andsuperior margin profile.

Company BackgroundMahindra and Mahindra (M&M), a flagship company of Mahindra Group, isthe largest manufacturer of UV and tractors in India with a 52% and 42%market share, respectively. The company is also the second largest playerin the LCV space, with a 33% market share. M&M is also the only companyin India that is present across all the automotive segments. M&M has aninstalled capacity of 6lakh and 2.3lakh units/year in the automotive and farmequipment segments, respectively. In FY2011, M&M acquired a 70% stakein Ssangyong Motor Co. (SYMC), transforming itself into a global UV player.Apart from the core auto business, the company has subsidiaries/associatesin various businesses such as IT, NBFC, auto ancillaries, hospitality andinfrastructure.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect the Indian tractor industry to maintain itshealthy growth rate (12-13% CAGR over FY2011-13E) backed by structuraldrivers such as rising rural income, labor shortage, improving credit availabilityand diversifying usage of tractors. The UV industry is also likely to continueits growth momentum (11-12%), given the commercial usage (people carrier)of vehicles in rural and urban India as well as increasing acceptance inpersonal usage. M&M, with its strengths in the UV and tractor segments, isexpected to leverage upon the growth opportunity and register a strong16.9% volume growth over FY2011-13E.
Competitive position: M&M enjoys a strong competitive advantage in thetractor industry, given its dominant brands (Yuvraj, Swaraj and Arjun), widedistribution and service network, presence of a financing arm, and high resalevalue. In the UV space as well, M&M has a commanding position on accountof a strong and proven product development capability and popular brandslike Bolero, Scorpio and Xylo.
Nature of business: Failure of monsoon and a significant increase in interestrate impacts demand; Branding and R&D create entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsNew launches to help sustain the automotive segment's growth momentum:M&M's strong focus on product development has led to several new productlaunches (Maxximo, Gio and XUV 500) in the automotive segment sinceFY2010. Further, with its pipeline of new products, introduction of SYMC'sproducts in India and a strong diesel portfolio, we expect M&M's automotivesegment to sustain its growth momentum and witness strong growth of18.3% over FY2011-13E.
Investments constitute 71% of the balance sheet: M&M has majority stakesin various listed companies in sectors like technology, hospitality, real estateand finance. The high-growth potential of M&M's subsidiaries has supportedM&M's valuation in the past and may continue to do so in the long term as well.We value M&M's investments at `174/share.
Attractive valuations: We maintain our Buy rating as we expect M&M to leverageupon its dominant position in the UV and tractor segments, given its strongrural-centric product portfolio. Our SOTP target price for M&M works out to ̀ 801.

Company BackgroundTata Motors (TTMT) is the largest CV manufacturer in India with a domesticmarket share of 60% and 63% in the MHCV and LCV segments, respectively.The company is also India's third largest PV manufacturer, with a domesticmarket share of 12%. The company operates from its plants in Jamshedpur,Pune, Lucknow, Sanand, Pantnagar and Dharwad. TTMT acquired U.K. basedluxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in June 2008; it now accountsfor ~57% of its consolidated revenue.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The global luxury car market has managed to weather economicuncertainty and has grown at a healthy rate, led by robust growth in China. Withan eye on increasing the current 5% market share of China's luxury car market,JLR intends to start assembly operations and expand its dealership network inChina. On the domestic front, while the LCV industry is expected to maintain itsstrong growth momentum, led by structural factors, we expect MHCV volumesto continue to grow at 1.5x GDP growth rate in the long term.
Competitive position: Land Rover is competitively positioned currently, withpresence across the premium SUV segments and series of new productsthat are lined up. Jaguar, however, is not present in the lower end of theluxury segment (~40% of luxury car market), which makes it vulnerable tocompetition. In spite of increasing competition in the domestic CV space,TTMT continues to enjoy its leadership position, led by innovative products,superior technology and a widespread distribution network.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate sensitive sector; Branding and R&Dcreate entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsJLR growth momentum to continue on new launches: We expect JLRvolumes to remain strong, driven by robust growth in China (sales up 94%in 1HFY2012), recent launch of Evoque and new XF 2.2 coupled with theintroduction of new Range Rover and Jaguar XE in FY2013. Further, favorablemarket mix (China's contribution increased from 11% in FY2011 to 15.7%in 1HFY2012) and sourcing from low-cost countries are likely to partiallyoffset the impact of higher cost pressures at JLR.
Domestic business to thrive on the strength of the CV segment: Whilewe expect the CV segment to maintain its healthy growth rate (13% CAGRover FY2011-13E) on the back of the strong volume momentum in LCVsales, the PV segment is likely to remain under pressure and register amoderate 8% volume CAGR led by sluggish domestic demand and weakproduct offerings. Further, led by cost pressures and higher discounts inthe PV segment, we expect standalone margins to remain under pressure.
Valuations: At ̀ 219, the stock is trading at 7.5x and 4.8x FY2013E earningsand EV/EBITDA, respectively. We recommend Accumulate on the stockwith an SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀242 - assigning a value/share of `68(10x FY2013E EPS) to domestic business, `153 (6.5x FY2013E EPS) toJLR and `21 to other subsidiaries.

Company BackgroundMaruti Suzuki (MSIL), a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan (witha 54.2% stake), is the largest passenger car (PC) company in India, accountingfor 48.7% of the domestic PC market. MSIL derives ~77% of its overallsales from the compact car segment and has a dominant position in thesegment with a market share of ~50%, led by popular models like Alto,Wagon R and Swift. The company operates from two facilities in India (Gurgaonand Manesar) and is in the process of expanding its manufacturing capacityto 1.9mn units (currently 1.65mn) by FY2013. MSIL has also steadily increasedits presence internationally and exports now account for ~11% of itsoverall sales volume.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect the domestic PV industry to report a healthyrate in the long term, as we believe the Indian PV industry is at an inflectionpoint with GDP per capita (PPP basis) crossing US$3,000 levels - a tippingpoint for motorization to take off. MSIL, with its strong product offering,new launches in the pipeline and strong competitive advantage over foreignentrants due to its widespread distribution network (nearly 3,006 and 968service and sales outlets, respectively), is likely to emerge as the key beneficiaryof the long-term growth potential.
Competitive position: Growth potential of the Indian PC market and compactcar segment in particular (~78% of the total PC market) has attracted manyglobal OEMs, leading to 6-8 new small car launches over the past two years.Thus, MSIL's domestic market share has declined to 48.7% (down 350bp)in FY2011. While MSIL's market share is expected to remain under pressurein purview of increasing competition, its strengths include dominance in thecompact car segment suited for Indian conditions and wide distribution reach.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Branding and R&Dcreate entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsOperating margins to improve in FY2013: We expect EBITDA margins toimprove by ~200bp in FY2013 on account of operating leverage benefitsdue to volume improvement, softening of commodity prices and a 2-3%decline in imported raw-material content, led by localization initiative (importsin JPY forms ~26% of net sales).
Suzuki focusing to make MSIL a small car manufacturing hub: SuzukiMotor Corp., Japan, intends to make MSIL a manufacturing hub to leverageupon India's low-cost manufacturing capability and tap the increasing globaldemand for small cars due to rising fuel prices and stricter emission standards.Thus, we believe there is a huge potential for MSIL to increase its presencein the exports market.
Valuation: At ̀ 1,129, MSIL is trading at 14.2x FY2013E earnings. We maintainour Accumulate rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀1,195, valuingit at 15x FY2013E earnings (in-line with our Sensex target multiple of 15x).

Company BackgroundAshok Leyland (AL) is the country's second largest CV manufacturer. Thecompany has a strong presence in the MHCV segment, with a domesticmarket share of ~23%. AL enjoys a dominant position in southern India,with a ~48% market share, and is currently focusing on expanding its presencein northern India by increasing its touch points in the region. The company,through its JV with Nissan Motor and John Deere, intends to expand itsproduct portfolio and has recently launched new vehicles Dost (to tap thegrowing LCV demand) and Backhoe Loader (construction equipment segment),respectively.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Given the healthy GDP growth expectation over thelong run, government's thrust on infrastructure development and normalmonsoons, we expect MHCV volumes to continue to grow at 1.5x GDPgrowth rate in the long term. AL being a core CV player is expected tobenefit from the upswing in MHCV demand.
Competitive position: Increased competitive activity due to the emergenceof new players in the MHCV segment (Eicher Motors, Mahindra Navistarand Daimler) and slowdown in demand in southern India (AL's stronghold)have weakened AL's domestic MHCV market share to 23.7% in 2QFY2012from 27.6% in 2QFY2011.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Branding (to a lesserextent than passenger vehicle segment) and R&D create entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsDemand scenario to improve with easing interest rates: MHCV demand,which has moderated recently due to high interest rates and slowdown inindustrial activity, is expected to pick up with the likely easing of interestrates from 1QFY2013. Therefore, we expect AL's volume growth to reboundto ~12% in FY2013E from near flat levels in FY2012.
Pantnagar plant ramp-up to mitigate raw-material cost pressures: ALplans to ramp-up production at its Pantnagar facility (relatively more profitablewith cost savings of ~`35,000/vehicle) to ~35,000 vehicles in FY2012 from12,800 in FY2011. We expect these benefits to partially offset the impactof raw-material cost pressures, enabling AL to maintain its operating marginsat 10-11% over FY2011-13.
Attractively valued: At `27, AL is trading at attractive valuations of 10.2x itsFY2013E earnings. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀32, valuing the stock at 12x its FY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundBajaj Auto (BJAUT) is the second largest 2W manufacturer in the country(~26% market share) and a market leader in the 3W segment (~55% marketshare). BJAUT has three manufacturing facilities in India, located at Waluj,Chakan and Pantnagar, with a total installed capacity (2W - 4.5mn and 3W- 0.5mn) of 5mn units. BJAUT also happens to be one of India's largest autoexporters, with exports forming ~28% of revenue (~32% of total volumes) inFY2011. Led by two dominant brands, Discover and Pulsar (~65% of motorcyclevolumes), BJAUT reported a strong 32% volume CAGR over FY2009-11.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: While the Indian 2W industry is expected to report aCAGR of 13.3% over FY2011-13E, we also expect competition in the marketsto intensify. However, given BJAUT's strong focus in the premium motorcyclesegment and significant exposure to the 3W and exports markets, we expectBJAUT to sustain its healthy growth momentum and register a 13-14% volumeCAGR over the same period.
Competitive position: Although HMCL dominates the overall 2W industry,it has limited presence in the higher-end motorcycle segment (>125cc),where BJAUT commands a ~51.4% market share. While we expect BJAUTto be impacted by increasing competition in the domestic motorcycles space,strong focus on the premium motorcycle segment and exposure to exportsoffer a strong competitive advantage to the company.
Nature of business: The 2W business is relatively stable, less dependenton interest rates and has moderate entry barriers. The 3W business, however,is subject to new permits and licenses issued by various state authorities.
Current Investment ArgumentsContinued focus on Discover and Pulsar brands to aid market sharegains: BJAUT revamped its strategy in FY2010 and focused on its dominantbrands Discover and Pulsar, which enabled it to strengthen its competitiveposition in the motorcycle segment, leading to an increase in market sharefrom 28% in FY2009 to 32.3% in FY2011. With the launch of Discover125cc (May 2011) and likely new launches of Pulsar and Discover byFY2012-end, we expect BJAUT to further strengthen its position and improveupon its market share.
Exports to remain the key growth driver: BJAUT has registered a strongCAGR of ~35% in export volumes over FY2006-11, aided by ~43% and~25% volume CAGR in the 2W and 3W segments, respectively. With astrong focus and expansion in Africa, Latin America and Asia, we estimateBJAUT to sustain its sales momentum and register a ~24% volume CAGRover FY2011-13E.
Attractive valuations: We prefer BJAUT over HMCL in the 2W space, owingto its diversified business model and healthy revenue and earnings visibility.The stock is currently trading at attractive valuations of 12.5x FY2013E earnings.We recommend Buy on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀1,755, valuing itat 15x FY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundHero MotoCorp (HMCL) is a leading 2W manufacturer in the world and themarket leader in the domestic motorcycle segment with a 54.6% marketshare (48% market share including exports). HMCL has three manufacturingfacilities in India, located at Gurgaon (1.95mn), Dharuhera (1.95mn) andHaridwar (2.25mn), with a total capacity of 6.15mn units/year. Over 2006-11, HMCL recorded a healthy volume CAGR of 12.5% (in-line with industryCAGR of ~12%), backed by its strong brands (Passion and Splendor) anda well-entrenched dealership network, which has a good presence acrossrural areas (~45% of total volumes).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect the Indian 2W industry to post a 13.3%CAGR over FY2011-13E, driven by rising income levels, strong sustainablerural demand and huge exports potential. HMCL is well equipped to capitalizeon this opportunity backed by its strong brands, new product launches andwider reach. Therefore, we expect HMCL to post a 12.7% volume CAGRover FY2011-13E.
Competitive position: While HMCL continues to dominate the domesticmotorcycle industry, competitive pressures primarily from Bajaj Auto, Honda(post the split from Hero) and Yamaha have led to loss of market share(domestic motorcycle market share of 54.6% in FY2011 compared to 58.5%in FY2010) and lower pricing power.
Nature of business: Relatively stable as it is less dependent on interestrates; Moderate entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsIncrease in competitive activity to restrict volume growth: We believecompetition in the domestic motorcycle segment is set to intensify furtheras HMSI is planning to launch a new 100cc motorcycle in 4QFY2012. With~93% of HMCL’s total motorcycle volumes being derived from the <125ccsegment, we expect HMCL to slightly underperform the industry and reporta 12.7% volume CAGR during the period.
Limited room for margin expansion on higher advertisement and R&Dspends: While HMCL managed to maintain its margins in 1HFY2012, ledby operating leverage benefits and softening of raw-material prices, we expectthe company's EBITDA margin to remain under pressure due to rising competition,leading to higher advertisement spends. Further, increased R&D spends todevelop indigenous technology will also impact margins.
Valuation: At `1,901, HMCL is trading at 14.1x FY2013E earnings. Werecommend Accumulate rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀2,025,valuing it at 15x (in-line with historical multiple) FY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundTVS Motor (TVSL), a flagship company of TVS Group, is the third largest2W manufacturer in India. The company is present across the motorcycles,scooters and mopeds segments, having a market share of 8%, ~22% and100%, respectively. The company successfully ventured into the 3W segmentin FY2009 and garnered a 5% market share as of FY2011. The companyhas three manufacturing facilities in India, located at Hosur (Tamil Nadu),Mysore (Karnataka) and Solan (Himachal Pradesh) with 2W and 3W capacityof 2.75mn and 75,000 units, respectively. TVSL is also the second largestexporter of two-wheelers in the country. Exports accounted for ~14% of itstotal revenue in FY2011.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect the Indian 2W industry to report a 13.3%CAGR over FY2011-13E, driven by rising income levels, strong sustainablerural demand and huge exports potential. While TVSL's motorcycle segmentis likely to remain vulnerable to competition, scooters, mopeds and exportsare expected to register healthy performance going ahead.
Competitive position: TVSL has seen a decline in its two-wheeler marketshare to ~15% from ~19% in FY2006 mainly due to weakness in the motorcyclesegment, led by intense competition from market leaders. However, withthe successful launch of Wego, TVSL has been able to claw-back its marketshare in the scooters segment and retain its number two position in thesegment.
Nature of business: Relatively stable as it is less dependent on interestrates; Moderate entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsNew product launches to drive volume growth: TVSL recorded robustvolume growth of 33.2% yoy in FY2011, led by recovery in the 2W industry'svolumes and new product launches like Jive, Wego and Max4R. With theexpected launch of new models like Victor 125cc and variants of Apache,we expect TVSL to ramp up its production and post a healthy volume CAGRof 11% over FY2011-13E.
Better product mix to sustain operating margins: With growing proportionof higher-margin 3W in the total volume mix (3W expected to post a 14%CAGR vs. 11% for 2W over FY2011-13E) and successful launch ofhigher priced Wego, we expect TVSM's overall realization to improve, therebyhelping it to sustain its operating margins at ~6.5% in FY2012 and FY2013.
Attractive valuations: Due to the recent correction in the stock price,TVSL is trading at attractive valuations of 8.4x FY2013e earnings. We maintainour Buy recommendation on the stock with a target price of ̀̀̀̀̀ 66, valuingit at 11x FY2013E earnings.

The company also has one of the largest distributionnetworks of spare parts in the country, with after-market component salesaccounting for ~20% of revenue. BOS has five manufacturing facilities locatedat Bangalore, Nashik, Naganathpura, Jaipur and Goa.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect the Indian auto industry to grow at a12-13% CAGR over FY2011-13E, led by sustainable growth in the economy;and rising consumer confidence and income levels, which we believe areprime drivers of the demand in the auto industry, particularly in segmentssuch as passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and tractors. Further, increasingdieselization levels in the domestic passenger vehicle segment are likely toaugur well for BOS in the long run.
Competitive position: BOS is a market leader in the fuel injection equipmentsegment with ~75% market share and has a track record of industry-shapinginnovations, leading to higher pricing power.
Nature of business: Cyclical as automotive sales are dependent on interestrate; Access to technology creates entry barriers; Sensitive to exchangerates (EUR/INR), since the company has net imports of ~20% of net sales.
Current Investment ArgumentsDependent on favorable CV/tractor sales for growth: BOS's prospectsare largely derived from demand arising in the CV and tractor segments,which are estimated to register a 12-14% CAGR each over FY2011-13E.Further, greater visibility on newer growth opportunities is emerging for thecompany, following its investments in new and innovative technologies suchas common rail systems and gasoline systems. As such, we estimate BOSto record a strong ~17% CAGR in its top line over CY2010-12E.
Technology leadership lends bargaining power: BOS commands a ~75%market share in the domestic fuel injection equipment segment, which isextremely technology intensive. Also, the company has a proven track recordof industry-shaping innovations. Being a technology leader in the industry,the company enjoys strong pricing power and, hence, higher margins, whichare expected to remain stable going ahead.

Company BackgroundExide Industries (Exide) is a leading automobile and industrial battery manufacturerin India. The company commands a ~70% and ~65% market share in theOEM and organized replacement battery segment and a 40-45% share inthe industrial battery segment. Exide has technological tie-ups withmajors such as Shin Kobe and Furukawa Battery. The automotive and industrialbattery segments accounted for ~65% and ~35% of the company's totalrevenue in FY2011, respectively. Exide also has a 50% stake in ING VysyaInsurance Ltd., a JV with ING Group, Netherlands.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect growth traction in the automotive batterysegment to continue, driven by OEM sales and a steady increase of10-12% in the auto replacement segment, given that average battery life is3-4 years. Further, revival in demand for telecom and UPS batteries is likelyto sustain industrial battery demand going ahead. Additionally, strong relationshipwith OEMs (creating brand awareness amongst consumers) presents a significantgrowth opportunity in the replacement market, which still has presence oflarge unorganized players. We believe Exide is well placed to capitalize onthis growth opportunity as it has unparalleled distribution network, excellentcustomer relationships and strong brand loyalty.
Competitive position: Exide continues to dominate the organized automotiveand industrial battery segments, led by its strong brands (Exide and SFSonic) and a wide distribution network. However, recently Exide has lost6-7% market share in the organized replacement 4W segment, led by aggressivestrategy adopted by Amara Raja Batteries. Consequently, Exide reducedits auto battery prices by 8-10% in September 2011, leading to significantmargin erosion.
Nature of business: While OEM demand is dependent on new vehicle sales,replacement demand is relatively stable; branding, quality/technology andstrong OEM presence create entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsDemand scenario for auto and industrial batteries to remain positive:We expect the auto and industrial battery segments to post revenue CAGRsof 15% and 12%, respectively, over FY2011-13E, driven by strong batterydemand. As such, we expect Exide to register revenue CAGRs of 14% and10% in the auto and industrial battery segments, respectively.
Captive sourcing to reduce the impact of lead price volatility: While Exide'sprofitability in 1HFY2012 was impacted by poor inventory management andmounting competitive pressures, we believe increased lead sourcing fromcaptive smelters to ~70% in FY2013 (~55% in FY2011) will help reducethe impact of lead price volatility and enhance margins. We believe captivesourcing of lead reduces the company's raw-material costs by 10-15%.
Valuations: At `120, the stock is trading at 13.8x FY2013E earnings, adjustedfor its stake in the insurance business. We maintain our Accumulate viewon the stock with an SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀137. We assign a value/share of`125 to its core operations and `12 to its stake in ING Vysya Life Insurance.

Company BackgroundAmara Raja Batteries (AMRJ), a JV between Galla family and Johnson Controls,U.S., is India's second largest manufacturer in the organized VRLA batteriesmarket finding applications in the automotive (~55% of total revenue) andindustrial (~45% of total revenue) segments. AMRJ has a market share of25% in 4W OEM, 30% in 4W replacement and 25% in 2W replacementbattery markets. The company also commands dominant market shares of42% and 32% in the telecom and UPS battery segments, respectively. AMRJderives ~45% and ~35% of its industrial segment's revenue from the telecomand UPS battery segments, respectively.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect growth traction in the automotive batterysegment to continue, driven by OEM sales and a steady increase of10-12% in the auto replacement segment, given that average battery life is3-4 years. Further, demand revival for telecom and UPS batteries is alsolikely to sustain industrial battery demand going ahead. Additionally, strongrelationship with OEMs (creating brand awareness amongst consumers)presents a significant growth opportunity in the replacement market, whichstill has presence of large unorganized players. On the back of these opportunities,capacity expansion and increasing reach, we expect AMRJ to benefit goingahead.
Competitive position: While Exide is the market leader in the organizedautomotive battery segment, AMRJ has consistently increased its marketshare by 1) aggressively positioning its products (Amaron batteries), 2) offeringhigher warranty and 3) strengthening its distribution network. AMRJ is adominant player in the industrial battery segment due to its strong ties withcustomers.
Nature of business: While OEM demand is dependent on new vehicle sales,replacement demand is relatively stable; branding, quality/technology andstrong OEM presence create entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsGrowth in the auto battery segment to drive top-line performance: Weexpect AMRJ's automotive battery segment to post a robust ~22% revenueCAGR over FY2011-13E, led by better positioning of its products, availabilityof additional capacity and increasing distribution reach.
Telecom and UPS battery segments to sustain industrial battery demand:AMRJ pioneered the use of maintenance-free batteries, which have applicationsin the railway signaling, telecom and power supply solutions segments.We expect the telecom and power backup (UPS/inverter) segments to drivedemand for industrial batteries, leading to a ~16% revenue CAGR in AMRJ'sindustrial battery segment over FY2011-13E.
Valuations: At `206, AMRJ is trading attractively at 8.6x FY2013E earnings.We mainatin our Buy rating on the stock. We assign a multiple of 10.5x(~35% discount to Exide's multiple of 16x) FY2013E earnings to arrive at atarget price of `250.

Company BackgroundApollo Tyres (APTY) is India's second largest tyre manufacturer with an overalltyre market share of ~18%. The company has a leadership position in theheavy and LCV tyre segments, with 23% and 26% market share, respectively.APTY acquired Dunlop's South African operations in 2006 and VredesteinBranden BV (Netherlands) in May 2009. These acquisitions now accountfor 38% of APTY's consolidated revenue. The company has eightmanufacturing plants located across India (1,125TPD), South Africa (175TPD)and Europe (170TPD), with a total installed capacity of 1,470TPD. APTY'smain brands include Apollo (India); Dunlop (South Africa); and Maloya, Regaland Vredestein (Europe).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We believe the Indian tyre industry is going through astructural shift as radialization levels in the truck and bus radial (TBR) segmentare expected to reach 40% over the next two-three years from 16% in FY2011.Further, expected steady growth of 8-10% in replacement demand (~65%of total demand) should lend a greater degree of stability to overall tyredemand in our view. We expect APTY to be the key beneficiary of the structuralshift that the Indian tyre industry is going through, given its dominant positionin the TBR as well as replacement segment coupled with leading brandsand a strong distribution reach.
Competitive position: APTY is a market leader in the CV segment, with a~27% market share. However, increasing radialization in the TBR segmentis expected to lead to higher earnings growth and margin improvement forthe tyre industry, including players like APTY.
Nature of business: Cyclical as demand for CV tyres is linked to themacroeconomic environment; low entry barriers, sensitive to exchange ratessince the company has net imports of ~25% of net sales at standalonelevel, global rubber prices impact profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsSteady performance in domestic and overseas business to aid growth:Structural growth factors in combination with timely ramp-up at the Chennaifacility (incremental capacity of 450TPD by 1QFY2013) is likely to result ina 25% revenue CAGR in domestic operations. Further, overseas subsidiariesare expected to maintain a healthy growth momentum and register a 13%revenue CAGR.
Lower raw-material prices to boost margins: Domestic and internationalnatural rubber prices have declined by 21% and 33%, respectively, fromtheir peak levels. With rubber prices expected to rule steady and price hikescarried out in 1HFY2012, we expect APTY's operating margins to improveby 70bp in FY2013 to 9.4%.
Valuations: At `65, APTY is trading at 7x FY2013E earnings. We maintainour Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀74, valuing it at 8.0xFY2013E earnings.

Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We believe the Indian tyre industry is going through astructural shift as radialization levels in the truck and bus radial (TBR) segmentare expected to reach 40% over the next two-three years from 16% in FY2011.Further, expected steady growth of 8-10% in replacement demand (~65%of total demand) should lend a greater degree of stability to overall tyredemand in our view. Availability of radial tyres from the new facility in Haloland increasing focus on replacement demand is expected to help Ceat registera strong 21.4% revenue CAGR over FY2011-13E.
Competitive position: The Indian tyre industry is extremely competitive andis dominated by MRF and Apollo Tyres. However, increasing radialization inthe TBR segment is expected to lead to higher earnings growth and marginimprovement for the tyre industry, including players like Ceat.
Nature of business: Cyclical as demand for CV tyres is linked to themacroeconomic environment; low entry barriers; Sensitive to exchange ratessince the company has net imports of ~12% of net sales: Global rubberprices impact profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsImproving product mix and stable raw-material prices to aid marginexpansion: Ceat is ramping up its radial capacity at the Halol plant to 150TPD,which is likely to be fully operational by 1QFY2013. With the completion ofthe proposed expansion, the product mix of truck:non-truck is likely to improveto 60:40 (currently 67:33), resulting in better product mix, thereby fetchingbetter margins. Additionally, pricing action (~10% in 1HFY2012) and stableraw-material prices going ahead (declined 21% from the peak in domesticmarkets) are expected to result in a ~150bp margin expansion in FY2013.
Valuations: At `84, CEAT is trading at attractive valuations of 4.1x FY2013Eearnings. We believe recent action of hiking stake by promoters in the companyfrom 48.47% in March 2010 to 50.2% as of September 2011 in combinationwith recent announcement of issue of warrants to the promoters is likely toboost investor sentiments. In addition, we believe monetization of surplusland at Bhandup (23.6acre should fetch over `440cr, on a conservativebasis) will further act as a positive trigger for the stock (not completelyfactored in our valuation). We maintain our Buy view on the stock with atarget price of `̀̀̀̀125, valuing it at 6.0x FY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundJK Tyre and Industries (JKI) is the third largest tyre manufacturer in the countrywith an overall market share of 15.7%. The company operates from fourplants in India, with a current installed capacity of 9.9mn tyres annually andis in the process of increasing it to 12.7mn tyres annually by FY2013. While80% of JKI's tonnage volume is contributed by the CV segment, the PCsegment accounts for ~10% of the volumes. JKI acquired Tornel in Mexicoin FY2009.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We believe the Indian tyre industry is going through astructural shift, as radialization levels in the truck and bus radial (TBR) segmentare expected to reach 40% over next two-three years from 16% in FY2011.Further, expected steady growth of 8-10% in replacement demand (~65%of total demand) should lend a greater degree of stability to overall tyredemand in our view. Being a first mover in the TBR space, we expect JKI tobenefit from the incremental demand for radial tyres.
Competitive position: The Indian tyre industry is extremely competitive andis dominated by MRF and Apollo Tyres. However, increasing radialization inthe TBR segment is expected to lead to higher earnings growth and marginimprovement for the tyre industry, including players like JKI.
Nature of business: Cyclical as demand for CV tyres is linked to themacroeconomic environment; Low entry barriers; Sensitive to exchange ratessince the company’s net imports constitute ~10% of its net sales at a standalonelevel; Global rubber prices impact profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsFavorable product mix: We expect JKI to benefit from the structural shiftthat the Indian tyre industry is going through, given that currently there is ashortage of radial tyres. Thus, we believe JKI will be able to fully utilize itsexisting TBR capacity (highly profitable) of 1mn units. Further, commissioningof additional capacities at existing plants and gradual ramp-up at the Chennaiplant are likely to lead to operating leverage benefits. This coupled with astable raw-material pricing scenario (declined 21% from the peak in domesticmarkets) is expected to improve operating margins by 90bp in FY2013 to5.1%.
Tornel turnaround to improve consolidated performance: Tornel, whichturned profitable in FY2010 – reporting net profit of ̀ 56cr (net loss of ̀ 40crin FY2009), registered a sharp drop in profitability in FY2011 to `2cr dueto cost pressures. We expect profitability to improve in FY2012, led by stableraw-material prices, thereby improving overall consolidated performance.
Valuations: At `70, JKI is trading at attractive valuations of 3.2x FY2013Eearnings. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a target price of`̀̀̀̀89, valuing it at 4.0x FY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundMotherson Sumi Systems (MSS), a JV between Samvardhana MothersonGroup (SMG, 36.3% stake) and Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Japan (25%stake), is the world’s largest supplier of rear view mirrors and India’s biggestsupplier of wiring harness. MSS is considered to be a JV specialist (24 JVs)and has a successful history of acquisitions, which have helped it expandits product portfolio, gain access to technology and evolve into a leadingglobal OEM supplier. MSS’s most notable acquisitions include Visiocorp(now referred as Samvardhana Motherson Reflectec, SMR) in FY2009, aglobal leader in automotive rear view mirrors; and Peguform in FY2012, aleading supplier of door and instrument panels and cockpit assemblies. Thecompany is present across 23 countries and has over 90 manufacturingfacilities worldwide.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: While the near-term demand scenario of thedomestic PV industry remains subdued due to increasing fuel prices and interestrates, we expect the domestic PV industry to post a 10-11% CAGR overFY2011-14E, led by structural growth drivers and the likely easing of interest rates.Further, buoyancy in global PV markets amid an uncertain environment indicates thatglobal PV growth is likely to be healthy going ahead. MSS, being a preferredsupplier to OEMs globally with a presence across the value chain, is expectedto be the key beneficiary of the rising demand for passenger cars globally.
Competitive position: MSS is a market leader with a domestic market shareof 65% and 53% in the wiring harness and rear view mirror segments, respectively.MSS also commands a 22% global market share in the rear view mirrorsegment for passenger cars. MSS enjoys strong pricing power, given itsleading position and diversified customer base.
Nature of business: Cyclical and sensitive to interest rates; Technologyand strong OEM presence create entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsFocus on increasing content per car to sustain leadership position: MSS'swide product portfolio, global manufacturing presence, good relationshipswith OEMs and ability to provide end-to-end solutions have enabled it toincrease the content per car that it supplies to its customers. Further, Peguform'sacquisition will enhance MSS's product offerings significantly and strengthenits position as a key tier-I supplier globally.
SMR turnaround to boost performance: SMR has shown a substantialimprovement in its performance since its acquisition by MSS and has baggedorders worth EUR800mn to be supplied over the life of the new models.We believe scale-up of SMR operations along with a gradual improvementin operating margins through cost rationalization and in-house sourcing willboost the overall performance of MSS.
Valuations: At `150, MSS is trading at 12.5x its FY2013E earnings. Wemaintain Accumulate on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀169, valuing at14x FY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundBharat Forge (BHFC), a global forging conglomerate, is the largest exporterof automotive components from India and a leading chassis componentmanufacturer in the world. The company manufactures a wide range of safetyand critical components for passenger cars, SUVs, LCVs, MHCVs and tractorsthrough its facilities spread across 11 locations globally - India (4), Germany(3), China (2), U.S. (1) and Sweden (1). BHFC also produces forged andmachined components for non-automotive industries, such as power generation,marine, oil and gas, railways and construction. The automotive industry currentlycontributes ~75% to the company's consolidated revenue, although throughdiversification BHFC expects the share of the automotive industry's revenueto fall to 55% by FY2013.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect the domestic CV industry to witness a14.5% CAGR over FY2011-13E, which augurs well for BHFC as it is aleading player in the domestic CV forging industry and nearly 55% of domesticrevenue is derived from the segment. Further, the expected pick-up in CVdemand in the U.S. and European markets will boost the performance ofoverseas subsidiaries going ahead.
Competitive position: BHFC is a market leader in the domestic automotiveforging market and enjoys ~90% market share in the domestic CV forgingspace.
Nature of business: Cyclical and sensitive to interest rates; Low entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsThrust on non-auto business to diversify product portfolio:BHFC intends to increase its non-automotive revenue to 40% (25% ofconsolidated revenue in FY2011) by FY2012E. To achieve this goal, BHFChas set up an 80MT hammer (40,000 TPA capacity) and a ring rolling (25,000TPA capacity) facility in Baramati in addition to the existing 60,000 TPAnon-auto facility in Mundhwa. We expect BHFC to benefit from new investmentsby various players in the power, oil and gas and capital goods sectors, leadingto strong demand for non-automotive forgings.
Improvement in overseas subsidiaries and JVs to boost consolidatedperformance: BHFC's international operations posted losses (pre-tax) inFY2010 due to a decline in demand and high operational costs. However,strong turnaround in Chinese JV (FAW-BF) and other subsidiaries due torestructuring and operational efficiencies led to improved performance andreturned to profitability in FY2011. We expect international subsidiaries tosustain their growth momentum due to buoyant truck demand in the U.S.and Europe and increasing contribution from industrial forgings and improvingutilization levels (currently 50-55%).
Valuations: At `277, the stock is trading at 13.8x FY2013E earnings.We maintain our Accumulate rating on the stock with a target price of`̀̀̀̀299, valuing it at 15x FY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundFAG Bearings (FAG), a group company of Germany-based Schaeffler Group,is one of the leading suppliers of ball bearings with ~14% domestic marketshare. FAG manufactures ball bearings, cylindrical bearings, spherical bearingsand tapered roller bearings through its plant located in Vadodra, Gujarat.The company is a market leader in the spherical bearing space, with a ~55%market share. FAG also imports specialized and heavy-size bearings fromits global associates to meet the requirements of the domestic industrialsegment. As a result, trading portfolio constitutes 34% to its net sales. FAGcaters to leading domestic OEM players as well as the replacement market.In the industrial segment, the company supplies to the automotive, constructionmachinery, steelworks, power transmission engineering, material handlingengineering, wind power plants and railways segments.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect the primary drivers of the bearings industryi.e., auto and industrial segment to post a steady performance going ahead.While the auto sector is expected to grow at a healthy rate, driven by structuralgrowth drivers, expectations of ~8% growth in the Indian economy over themedium term will lead to healthy demand from the industrial sector, drivenby demand from capital goods and infrastructure companies. As such, demandfor bearings is expected to grow at a steady rate, aiding FAG to register aCAGR of 18.8% in net sales over CY2010-12E.
Competitive position: Although 8-10 players operate in the domestic bearingsindustry, competitive intensity is slightly muted as each player dominatesdifferent segments of the bearing industry. FAG has a strong presence witha ~55% market share in the spherical bearings space.
Nature of business: Cyclical as demand for bearings is correlated with IIPdata and PV sales; access to high-end technology creates entry barriers.Cheaper imports from China and counterfeit products pose a threat in theafter-market segment. Sensitive to exchange rates (EUR/INR), since thecompany’s net imports constitute ~21% of its net sales.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong fundamentals: FAG's net asset turnover remains high (~7x in CY2010)due to largely depreciated assets. Additionally, sound business model,debt-free status and low capital expenditure enable FAG to generate strongcash flows and record consistent RoCE of ~30%.
Attractive valuations: We have a positive view on FAG, considering its strongparentage, debt-free status and cash balance worth `180/share on books.At `1,141, the stock is trading at attractive valuations of 10.1x CY2012Eearnings. We maintain our Buy view on the stock with atarget price of `̀̀̀̀1,359.

Company BackgroundAutomotive Axles (ATXL), a JV between Kalyani Group and Meritor HeavyVehicle Systems, USA (35.5% stake each), is one of India's largest independentmanufacturers of rear drive axle assemblies. ATXL's product portfolio includesa wide range of rear drive axles and air brakes, which are used in commercialvehicles. In SY2011, ATXL also forayed into the automotive brakes businessby acquiring a brake manufacturing facility from Kalyani Global Engineeringfor `14.6cr; it currently forms ~17% of ATXL's total revenue. The companyexports to the U.S., France, Italy, China, Australia and Brazil. Exports accountfor 6% of the company's total revenue. ATXL's domestic clients includeAshok Leyland (~55% of revenue), Tata Motors (~25% of revenue), EicherMotors, Asia Motor Works and Indian army, amongst others.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We expect MHCV volumes to witness a healthy CAGRof 10% over FY2011-13E, with the likely easing of interest rates coupledwith a stable freight rate environment, increasing infrastructure spending bythe government and easy availability of finance. As ATXL derives ~95% ofits revenue from the MHCV segment, it is likely to be one of the major beneficiaries.We expect the company to report a 12-13% volume CAGR, leading to a15-16% revenue CAGR over the same period.
Competitive position: The independent rear axle assembly market is dominatedby three players - ATXL, Axles India (JV between Wheels India and DanaCorp., USA) and HV Axles (subsidiary of Tata Motors). ATXL is the marketleader in this segment.
Nature of business: Cyclical in nature, as demand for CV is linked to economicgrowth.
Current Investment ArgumentsImprovement in utilization levels to help maintain operating margins:The increase in volume off-take will aid in higher utilization levels, which willhelp ATXL offset the impact of increased raw-material prices to a certainextent. We expect operating margins to remain at 11-12% over SY2012Eand SY2013E, leading to a 17.3% CAGR in its bottom line.
Valuations: At `428, ATXL is fairly valued at 7.7x SY2013E earnings.We recommend a Neutral rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundSubros (SUBR) was established in 1985 as a JV between Suri Group (40%stake), Denso Corporation (technology partner, 13% stake) and Suzuki MotorCorporation (13% stake). The company is India's leading manufacturer ofAC systems, with a market share of ~40%. SUBR operates from fourmanufacturing facilities in India (Noida, Manesar, Pune and Sanand) andhas an annual capacity of 1.2mn AC kits. MSIL, TTMT and M&M are themajor customers of the company, accounting for ~70%, ~16% and ~8% ofits total revenue, respectively.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: While the near-term demand scenario of the domesticPV industry remains subdued due to higher fuel prices and interest rates,we expect the PV industry to register an 8-10% CAGR over FY2011-13E,led by structural growth drivers and the likely easing of interest rates. Withan eye on future growth opportunity, SUBR is expanding its capacity andexpects to leverage upon its dominant position in the industry.
Competitive position: SUBR has been able to maintain its formidable positionin the automotive AC systems segment (~40% share), led by upgradingtechnology and strong customer focus.
Nature of business: Cyclical, as demand for PV is dependent upon thelevel of interest rates; Sensitive to exchange rates (JPY/INR), since the company’snet imports constitute ~45% of its net sales; Technology and OEM presencecreate entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsVolume growth dependent upon growth in the PV industry: The PV industryis witnessing a slowdown in volume growth, as consumer sentiment remainsweak due to macroeconomic concerns such as rising interest rates, highinflation and fuel price hikes. Given the company's dependence on the PVsegment, we expect volume growth to remain under pressure and report flatgrowth in FY2012 and FY2013.
Sustain leadership position with capacity expansion: SUBR plans to expandits capacity to 1.5mn units per year in the first phase (FY2012E) and furtherto ~2mn units per year in the next two-three years. The company is alsosetting up a new 50,000/year capacity in Chennai, targeting CV makers.We expect the capacity expansion initiative to assure supply to the increasingneeds of its OE customers, thereby helping SUBR to maintain its marketshare.
Valuations: At `24, SUBR is trading at 6x FY2013E earnings. We maintainour Neutral rating on the stock.

Monetary softening a key positiveThe persistently high inflation was until recently a key headwind for the sector,leading to declining savings, high interest rates and growth concerns. Therecent decline in inflation rates is consequently a key positive that has alreadyallowed the RBI to soften its monetary stance, with more likely to follow. Providedinflation continues to decline on expected lines, easing interest rates are likelyto revive growth and with a lag, asset quality concerns are also likely to graduallyrecede.
Capital shortage leading to better margin focus: The banking industry hasdelivered healthy net interest margins (NIMs) off late, which are expected tosustain in the coming quarters because: a) nominal GDP growth of 12-14%should sustain 15%+ credit growth over FY2012-13 i.e., above the bankingsector's internal capital generation through retained earnings; and b) PSUbanks are facing capital shortage, leading to focus on NIMs rather than aggressivebalance sheet expansion. Stricter Basel 3 draft guidelines by the RBI areexpected to add to capital shortage woes. In fact, with major banks like SBI,ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank (~30% combined market share) focusing onprofitable growth rather than just market share gains, other smaller bankshave also got a leeway to price their loans.
Earnings downside due to higher NPAs restricted due to countercyclicalbuffer: Economic slowdown and high interest rates have already negativelyimpacted the asset quality of banks, in particular PSU banks and until economicrevival is well underway, for some more quarters asset quality may remainvolatile. However, at the sector level, at worst we expect flat earnings growthin FY2013, leaving book values largely intact. This is on account of not just ahealthy NIM outlook, but also due to provision buffers created in the past twoyears. Firstly, we expect peak credit costs (provisioning for NPAs) in this cycleto be 5-10bp lower than the earlier 1.0% peak experienced by PSU banks inFY2004, considering improvements in recovery mechanisms since then. Further,in this cycle (FY2007-1HFY2012), credit costs have already increased from0.3% to 0.65%. Moreover, current credit costs of 0.65% include a 10-15bpbuffer due to (a) RBI's prudent counter-cyclical provisioning norm; and (b)temporary technical NPAs in PSU banks due to the recent adoption of computerizedNPA recognition. Hence, we do not expect more than a 10-15bp net increasein credit costs from here on at worst and even that may not materialize if theeconomy revives faster than expected.
Margin of safety in valuations: We believe the sector's valuations, close totheir lowest levels since FY2003, over discount asset-quality concerns, thusproviding a margin of safety for investors. We continue to prefer large privatebanks with better asset-quality outlook and a strong structural investmentcase - within which we prefer Axis Bank and ICICI Bank from a valuationperspective. We also like risk-return trade-off at current valuations for YesBank, but we are now Neutral on old private banks such as Federal Bank dueto relatively expensive valuations. Even after the recent bounce-back, PSUbanks are currently trading at 0.8x, a level below which they have not tradedfor more than 8% of the time since FY2003 (well below the average of 1.1x).We believe this offers cyclical valuation upsides as the macro-environmentturns more positive. Within the PSU segment as well, we prefer banks withstructural strengths and a more conservative asset-quality profile (for instance,relatively low yield on advances and moderate credit growth in the past twoyears) - this includes banks such as State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda.

The recent decline in inflation rates isconsequently a key positive that has already allowed the RBIto soften its monetary stance, with more likely to follow. Withinflation cooling off (especially food inflation, which we believewill soon start getting mirrored in manufacturing inflation aswell, appropriately the RBI has stepped in to infuse liquiditythrough a substantial `70,000cr of Open Market Operationsand in the latest policy, `30,000cr through a 50bps CRR cut.Provided inflation continues to decline on expected lines, easinginterest rates are likely to revive growth and with a lag, assetquality concerns are also likely to gradually recede.

Capital shortage leading to focus on marginsThe banking industry has delivered healthy net interest margins(NIMs) off late, which are expected to sustain in the comingquarters because of two factors, viz.:
a) Credit growth above 15% i.e., above the rate of internalgeneration of capital through retained earnings
While we expect significant credit under-penetration (0.7x ofGDP vs. 2-3x for developed countries) to sustain credit demandin the longer term, there are a number of factors, which in ourview should aid in credit growth over the shorter term too.
Nominal GDP, which is still expected to grow by 12-14% overthe next couple of years, in our view, should lead to sustainablecredit demand of at least ~15% levels over FY2012-13. Highprevailing inflation is expected to keep working capital requirementsfor businesses elevated, leading to a marginal push in credit demand.Also, with almost all European banks looking to cut their balance
sheet size, refinancing of some of the foreign debt through Indianbanks is also likely to support credit demand in the short term.
Moreover, while deposit accretion has already been healthy duringthe quarter, it is expected to increase further, considering the additionalinflow of funds through NRE deposits (sharp rate hikes on NREdeposits recently by almost all banks), giving banks extra room tolend even after meeting higher government demand and regulatoryrequirements, while keeping lending rates from rising.
b) Capital shortage in PSU banks and conservative stanceof large private banks leading to focus on margins ratherthan aggressive balance sheet expansion
During 2QFY2012, earnings growth for the banking sector wasaided by sequential margin expansion for almost all banks, whichoffsetted asset-quality pressures. The banking industry has beenswift in passing on the rate hikes by the RBI though hikes inlending rates over the past six months.
Further, with SBI (which is facing capital adequacy issues) aswell as ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank (having combined marketshare of ~30%) focusing on profitable growth rather than justmarket share gains, other smaller banks have also got a leewayto price their loans.
SBI's capital adequacy dropped significantly post the pensionadjustments from its reserves during 4QFY2011 (tier-I of 7.5%in 2QFY2012 compared to 9.6% in 3QFY2011). Further, withthe government being strapped for cash due to its own fiscalwoes coupled with distressed market conditions, capital infusionhas been delayed by the government and its eventual size hasalso reduced from more than `15,000cr to about `6,000cr-7,000cr. This has all the more made SBI more focused on preservingcapital and generating more capital internally through higherNIMs. Moreover, its loan book has witnessed continued asset-quality stress over the past six months, further reducing theheadroom for the bank's management (which changed post3QFY2011 results) to adopt aggressive market share strategies.
ICICI Bank has continued with its strategy for improvement inprofitability rather than growth, exiting unattractive retail-loansegments and generally de-growing its balance sheet. With allthese three large banks looking to maintain or improve theirmargins rather than chasing market share gains, borrowers hadto settle for higher rates, leading to higher margin expansionfor most other banks as well, creating a cushion to absorb NPAprovisioning expenses. Reflecting this, even though easing liquidityhas kept deposit rates in check in the past six months, bankshave been able to increase their lending rates by 50bp-100bp,leading to a ~15bp qoq increase in reported NIMs in 2QFY2012.

Going forward, stricter Basel III draft guidelines by the RBI areexpected to further add to capital shortage woes, leading tofurther focus of banks on NIMs rather than balance sheet growth.Under the proposed norms, banks will need to increase the equitycapital component of their capital structure over FY2013-17E -currently the minimum equity capital requirement stands at 3.6%,which will need to be increased to a much higher level of 8% byFY2017E. Several PSU banks are likely to face capital shortageon account of these draft norms (which have a high probabilityof getting implemented in our view). On a relative basis, bankswith a larger equity capital base (most prominently including largeprivate banks) will be in an advantageous position to grow fasterthan the sector average with healthy profitability.
Macro slowdown to impact asset quality; Earningsdownside restricted due to countercyclical buffer
Macroeconomic headwinds in the form of high interest ratesand slowing growth have led to higher cost of borrowings aswell as lower earnings for most businesses. While the baserates for most banks have increased by 250-300bp over thepast 12-18 months, GDP growth has slowed down to 7% (averageof 8.1% over FY2010-11), indicating a slowing growth scenario.
Economic slowdown and high interest rates have already negativelyimpacted the asset quality of banks, in particular PSU banksand until economic revival is well underway, for some morequarters asset quality may remain volatile. However, at the sectorlevel, at worst, we expect flat earnings leaving book values largelyintact. This is on account of not just a healthy NIM outlook, butalso due to provision buffers created in the past two years.
Firstly, we expect peak credit costs (provisioning for NPAs) inthis cycle to be 5-10bp lower than the earlier 1.0% peakexperienced by PSU banks in FY2004, considering improvementsin recovery mechanisms since then. Further, in the last cycle(FY1999-07), SBI's slippages (incremental NPAs) were 3x higherin the worst year compared to the best. In this cycle (FY2007-1HFY2012), credit costs were as low as 0.3%, but have alreadyincreased to 0.65%. Moreover, current credit costs of 0.65%also include 10-15bp buffer due to (a) RBI's prudent counter-cyclical provisioning norm; and (b) temporary technical NPAsin PSU banks due to the recent adoption of computerized NPArecognition. This buffer should partially offset higher NPAs inFY2013E.
Hence, we do not expect more than a 10-15bp net increase incredit costs from here on, leading to flat sectoral earnings atworst. On a relative basis, within the sector, large private banksand few PSU banks with better asset quality are expected tooutperform.
We view relatively lower yield on advances and moderate creditgrowth in the last two years as some of the indicators of amore conservative asset-quality profile. On that basis, we findfew of the private banks including Axis Bank as well as somePSU banks such as State Bank of India and Bank of Barodaamongst large caps as well as Syndicate Bank and Bank ofMaharashtra amongst mid caps to have a relatively moreconservative profile than what the markets seem to be factoringin. On the other hand, for some of the mid-size PSU bankssuch as Andhra Bank and Central Bank of India, we remaincautious about asset-quality concerns.

CASA market share and fee income underpinstructural outlookThe sector's valuations have corrected significantly over thelast year on account of cyclical concerns. While we remaincautious on asset quality in the near-term, we believe at currentvaluations there is enough margin of safety to pick banks thathave a relatively more conservative asset-quality outlook andhave structural strengths to take advantage of the medium tolong-term growth opportunity in the banking sector. In evaluatingthe structural outlook, in our view, CASA market share and feeincome remain the key factors.
Private banks to continue garnering CASA market share
Large private sector banks have increased their CASA marketshare multifold over the last decade (FY2000-FY2010) at theexpense of public sector banks, including SBI. Riding on rapidbranch and ATM expansion with urban-centric outlook, enhancedefficiency through technological upgradations and increasedemployee productivity and superior customer service orientedtowards expanding the retail customer base, large private bankswere able to increase their CASA market share from as low as2.6% in FY2000 to 16.0% as of 1HFY2012.
In case of current accounts, large and small private banks haveconsistently (right through the U.S. sub-prime crisis also) increasedtheir market share (29.4% as of 1HFY2012 vs. 8.5% in FY2000).
However, in case of saving account growth, the sharp increasein saving account market share for these banks was halted inFY2008 with the onset of the global recession, due to whichcustomers once again started reverting back to public sectorbanks to park their savings. The major benefactor of this shiftin customer mindset was SBI, which had witnessed a significantdecline in CASA market share until FY2007. SBI, by leveragingits tremendous trust factor in the country and driven by relativelyfaster branch expansion (9.1% CAGR vs. 2-5% for most PSBs),was able to increase its market share of saving deposits substantiallyby 360bp to 25.9% during FY2007-11 (one of the few PSBsto do so).
Post FY2008, large private banks have still managed toincrementally gain CASA market share albeit at a lower rate.On the other hand, public sector banks excluding SBI havecontinued to lose market share, though at a slower pace comparedto pre-recession levels. However, in our view, from here on, weexpect large private banks to once again start gaining momentumin expanding their CASA base, driven by relatively stronger capitaladequacy and easier capital access, robust branch expansionover FY2007-FY2011 and further network expansion expectedover the next couple of years. While all public sector banks areexpected to see further downslide in saving account marketshares as private banks continue to make inroads into theirhinterlands, SBI with its pan-India presence, robust branch networkof more than 13,500 branches and stronger core competitivenessis expected to see further traction in its saving account deposits.

Margin of safety in valuations
Valuations at significantly low levels: We believe the sector'svaluations, which are close to their lowest levels since FY2003,over discount asset-quality concerns, hence providing a marginof safety for investors. Even after the recent bounce-back, PSUbanks are currently trading at 0.8x, a level below which theyhave not traded for more than 8% of the time since FY2003(well below the average of 1.1x).
Pre-2003, valuations were structurally lower (median of 0.5xover FY2000-03) primarily because of asset-quality concerns(gross NPA ratios upwards of 10%), poorer recovery standards,and lower provisioning coverage ratios for the banking sector(limited provisioning to overall assets despite elevated NPAratios). Since the re-rating (post FY2003), valuations have slippedlower than the current 0.8x only in 35 weeks (i.e. less than 8%of the time) and that too during the Lehman crisis period, whenthe entire global financial system was reeling under a severeeconomic slump.
Earnings outlook cautious but not pessimistic: Although thecurrent macro headwinds faced by the banking sector due toEuro crisis and Indian domestic growth concerns are meaningful,current valuations near Lehman crisis lows suggest a high marginof safety, especially in case of select structurally strong banks.
Earnings for PSU banks are expected to modest in FY2013Eon account of higher estimated provisioning expenses. However,countercyclical buffers, which banks have created in the pastcouple of years, create additional buffer to absorb incrementalNPA provisioning expenses. Hence, with banks now shiftingfocus on sustaining margins and impending peak credit costsonly expected to be at worst 10-15bp away from the currentcosts, earnings growth for the sector as a whole is likely to beat worst flat in FY2013E. Inflation picking up again or creditgrowth slipping below 12% would pose downside risks to ourestimates, however in our base case we expect credit growthto sustain at 15% over FY2012-13E.
Prefer large private banks: From a stock-selection point ofview, we continue to prefer large private banks with a relativelybetter asset-quality outlook and a strong structural investmentcase - within which we prefer Axis Bank and ICICI Bank froma valuation perspective. We also like risk-return trade-off at currentvaluations for Yes Bank, but are now Neutral on old privatebanks like Federal Bank due to its relatively expensive valuations.
Within the PSU segment as well, we prefer banks with structuralstrengths and a more conservative asset-quality profile (for instance,relatively low yield on advances and moderate credit growth inthe past two years) - this includes banks such as State Bankof India and Bank of Baroda.

Fee income share higher for private banks
Large private banks (ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank)and SBI have accounted for a lion's share of newer fee incomestreams that have originated due to the economic upsurgewitnessed over the last decade. Relatively high fee income intensityof private banks, driven by their dominant position, competitivenessand sustained traction in streams such as wealth management,transaction banking, cards, forex and capital markets has ledto higher fee income contribution in the overall profitability forthese banks. Also, riding on credit (1,110bp gains over FY2000-11) and CASA market share gains (1,450bp gain over FY2000-11), private banks have been able to increase their fee incomefrom 1.3% of total average assets in FY2000 to 1.6% as ofFY2011. Large private banks such as Axis Bank (2.0%), HDFCBank (1.8%) and ICICI Bank (1.7%) have a much highercontribution of fee income to average assets compared to publicsector banks (0.9%, 0.7% ex. SBI) as of FY2011. Only SBI,owing to its strong corporate and government businessrelationships, has been able to maintain its dominance amongpublic banks with fee income/assets at 1.3% as of FY2011.

Company BackgroundICICI Bank is India's largest private sector bank, with a 5.5% market sharein credit. The bank has a pan-India extensive network of 2,500+ branchesand ~7,000 ATMs as well as large overseas presence (overseas loans comprise25% of total loans). The bank also has market-leading subsidiaries in lifeinsurance, general insurance and asset management.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Credit penetration in India remains fairly low (70% ofGDP) vs. not just developed economies (U.S. - 220% and Japan - 320%),but also emerging economies (China - 140%), indicating 17-18% averagecredit growth potential for several decades (2-2.5x our real GDP growth).ICICI Bank, with its strong capital adequacy and expanding branch network,has the potential to grow a few percentage points faster than this.
Competitive position: The bank is comparable to other private banks in itsretail customer proposition. Focused strategies post the Lehman-crisis havealso brought profitability on assets largely at par with peers.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsFocused strategy has improved return on assets; RoE to follow: Overthe past three years, the bank's management has firmly focused on reducingthe risk profile of its loans, de-growing its balance sheet to reduce riskierloans (such as unsecured personal loans) as well as wholesale deposits.CASA deposits have improved to 45% (as of FY2011) from 22% in FY2007,operating costs have declined from 2.2% to 1.8% of assets, and NPA provisioncosts have declined almost by two-thirds from peak levels. As a result, returnon assets have risen close to optimum levels, but return on equity still lagspeers, as the bank's huge equity capital raising prior to the downturn isleveraged much below its potential - something that is expected to improvegradually over the next few years.
Well positioned to garner strong market share gains in CASA deposits:While improving its profitability and risk profile, the bank also simultaneouslyincreased its branch network from ~950 in 3QFY2008 to 2,500+ by 2QFY2012.Coupled with strong capital adequacy at 19.0%, this has laid the platformfor strong credit growth and CASA market share gains.
Valuations attractive: We expect ICICI Bank to deliver a strong earningsCAGR of 19.2% over FY2011-13 and an RoE of 14.4% by FY2013. Thestock is trading at 1.5x FY2013E ABV (also 1.5x after adjusting value ofsubsidiaries), a substantial discount of 55% to H.DFC Bank. We have valuedsubsidiaries at `136 and the core bank at `925 (1.95x FY2013E ABV).We maintain our Buy view on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀1,061.

Company BackgroundHDFC Bank is the second-largest private sector bank in India with apan-India network of 2,150 branches and 6,500+ ATMs. The bank is promotedand 23% owned by HDFC, India's largest housing finance company.HDFC Bank has been at the forefront of modern retail banking in India. Thebank has pioneered the transaction banking model in India, which has enabledit to garner substantial CASA deposits as well as fee income, while thefocus on retail lending (which forms ~50% of total loans as against 20%industry average) has further helped the bank in maintaining above-industrymargins.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Over the medium term, private banks such as HDFCBank have the potential to sustain an average growth rate of 22-23% everyyear (~5% faster than the sector's average) by expanding their branch networksby 15-20% p.a. vs. 5-8% by their PSU counterparts.
Competitive position: Amongst the most competitive banks in the sector,HDFC Bank has an A-list management and superior customer propositionin terms of service, technology and product bouquet - enabling consistentmarket share gains, especially in retail banking.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong capital adequacy and expanding network to drive credit and CASAmarket share gains: HDFC Bank's strong growth over FY2005-11 wassupported by doubling of its CASA market share to ~6%. We expect thistraction in CASA market share to continue on the back of a 15-20% yoyincrease in branches. Strong capital adequacy of 16.3% will provide furthersupport for ~5% higher-than-industry average growth.
Sustained traction in fee income: Apart from traditional CEB and forexincome, the bank earns substantial fee income from transaction banking,cards and third-party distribution, among others. Overall, the bank's corefee income stood at ~1.7% of ATA in FY2011, one of the highest in thesector - offering another competitive advantage to the bank.
Premium valuations: HDFC Bank has always traded at a substantial 32%premium (5 year average) to Sensex, almost being viewed as a defensivestock due to a remarkably consistent ~30% earnings growth every year formore than a decade. In the near term, due its conservative risk management,the bank looks set to continue its 30% earnings growth trajectory. Thatsaid, we believe the stock's premium valuations (3.3x FY2013 ABV) arelikely to limit major outperformance as the markets enters a new upcycle vs.cheaper private sector peers that have a similar medium-term growth outlook.Hence, we recommend an Accumulate rating on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀520.

Company BackgroundAxis Bank is India's third-largest private sector bank after ICICI Bank andHDFC Bank. The bank was promoted by government institutions, led by UTI(SUUTI holds 24% stake currently, which will eventually be divested). Thebank has an extensive network of 1,446 branches and 7,500 ATMs spreadacross 953 centers (~60% in metro and urban regions). The bank's stronggrowth has been backed by robust retail branch expansion, strong corporaterelationships and a wide range of fee income products.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: After years of reporting high growth, private bankssuch as Axis Bank put together still have only about 15% market share.Hence, there is still substantial headroom for them to gain market share(potentially averaging 22-23% growth over the medium term), especially inlow-cost retail deposits. Rapid branch expansion (15-20% p.a.) is the keyto such high growth.
Competitive position: Being a modern private bank with superior customerproposition in terms of service, technology and product bouquet, Axis Bankis positioned to gain market share in not just credit, but more importantly inCASA deposits and fee-based services.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsBranch expansion to support faster market share gains: Axis Bank hasexpanded its branch network at a robust 33% CAGR and increased thenumber of ATMs by eight-fold during FY2004-11, resulting in a multi-foldincrease in the market share of low-cost CASA deposits to 4%. In fact, inFY2011 alone, the bank opened 407 branches (41% yoy growth) and furtherexpansion plans remain strong (250+ additions p.a.), which are expected tosustain further market share gains and superior earnings growth.
Fee income continues to drive higher profitability: The bank's fee incomealso has been sector leading at 2.0% of assets (almost twice the level inPSU banks over FY2009-11). In 9MFY2012 as well, the bank witnessedhealthy growth in most fee segments, including corporate (44%), treasury(32%) and retail (35%); and moderate growth is expected to continue goingforward.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at attractive valuations of 1.5xFY2013E ABV - at a substantial ~54% discount to HDFC Bank, despitesimilar earnings quality, profitability and growth expectations in the mediumterm. In our view, markets have over-discounted asset-quality concerns forthe bank and current valuations provide a substantial margin of safety.In fact, despite the bank's healthy medium-term growth potential, competitivepositioning and profitability, its current P/E valuation at 8.3x FY2013Eearnings is at a substantial 35% P/E discount even to the Sensex.We recommend Buy, valuing the stock at 2.2x FY2013E ABV to arrive ata target price of `̀̀̀̀1,361.

Company BackgroundYes Bank is the youngest private sector bank in the country, promoted byprofessional bankers. The bank started its operations in CY2004 and hasbeen growing at a scorching pace, focusing on niche assets to maintainprofitable margins and asset quality. The bank's thrust so far has been primarilyon wholesale banking operations for mid-size corporates. Now aiming for ahigher share of retail deposits, the bank has recently doubled its network to305 branches (targeting the urban affluent segment) and is planning to expandits network to 750 branches by FY2015.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Being a modern, new-generation private bank, on asmall base, Yes bank has grown its wholesale-oriented balance sheet at ascorching pace of 89.5% CAGR over FY2005-11. Subject to the conducivedomestic macro environment, a 30% CAGR in balance sheet is achievableover the next five years, but the key execution challenge for the bank is togrow its savings deposit base at an even faster pace.
Competitive position: The bank has demonstrated a healthy track record inthe niche corporate and wholesale segments; however, as it grows larger,developing a retail customer base will be important for sustaining profitability- this remains the key execution challenge.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsA-list management and ability to raise capital: Yes Bank has an A-list topmanagement team, which brings to table rich experience from the best banksin India. The bank's performance also benefits from management's ability toraise equity capital (at increasing, book-accretive premiums).
Strong asset quality: The bank has maintained strong asset quality in spiteof growing at a fast clip over the past few years (gross and net NPA ratiosat just 0.3% and 0.04%, respectively), which has been aided by the smallersize of its balance sheet so far. The bank has also been astute in managingits growth rate and asset-liability durations in-line with the changing externalenvironment.
Valuations provide margin of safety from retail growth challenges: YesBank's growth premium has reduced over time due to execution challengesin creating a retail deposit base (now trading at 1.8x due to cyclical slowdownvs. five-year median of 2.5x). However, taking the challenges of building aretail deposit base head-on, the bank has doubled its branch network overthe past 18 months to 305 branches and aggressively increased savingsrate to 7% as a smart customer acquisition strategy. While it has fallenshort of its retail expansion goals in the past and challenges remain significant,valuations at 1.8x FY2013E ABV in our view provide a better risk-returntrade-off than inthe past. Hence, we recommend a Buy rating on the stockwith a target price of `̀̀̀̀361.

Company BackgroundFederal Bank is the largest old generation private sector bank, having alarge presence in Kerala with 486 of its 823 branches. Close to half of itsbranch network is located in semi-urban areas. NRI customers in the MiddleEast form a substantial part of the bank's business; NRI deposits constitute~21% of its total deposits. Over the past one year, the bank's new CEO(coming from Standard Chartered Bank) has been focusing on improvingits asset quality.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Federal Bank's growth is expected to be in-line withthe sector, though with a bias towards market share loss in the long term.
Competitive position: The bank enjoys a strong albeit niche customer legacy,but with limited scope for broad-based growth into other regions or productsegments, in our view.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsAsset quality to improve: During FY2011, the bank had witnessed elevatedNPAs from its retail and SME loan book. However, management is takingvarious steps to stabilize its asset-quality woes and expects higher recoveriesand lower slippages going forward, subject to the external environment.
RBI's move to deregulate NRE FD rates negative for the bank: One ofthe key differentiators for the bank was the lower cost of NRE depositscomprising ~12% of its total deposits (type of NRI deposits where interestincome is tax-free and where RBI-regulated rates were as low as 3-4% untilrecently). However, following RBI's recent deregulation, banks have increasedNRE FD rates by almost 500bp, leaving negligible cost advantage fromthese deposits over domestic FD rates. Consequently, over a one-year period,as these deposits re-price upwards to new interest rates, the bank's NIMcould be impacted by up to 45bp, posing a negative for the bank's earningsoutlook.
Valuations limit upside: Old private bank stocks such as Federal Bankhave outperformed since the RBI's intention of awarding more bank licenses,potentially due to increased M&A expectations (leading to inadequate marginof safety at current valuations in our view). Valuations at 1.0x FY2013 ABVare higher than the 0.6-0.7x range at which mid-size PSU banks with similarKPIs are trading. While in the medium term we expect a gradual increase inthe bank's leverage to lead to higher RoEs, relatively high valuations coupledwith the diminished advantage of low-cost NRE deposits are likely to limitupside from current levels. Hence, we recommend a Neutral rating onthe stock.

Company BackgroundSouth Indian Bank (SIB) is a small old generation private sector bank with~84% of its branches in southern India (66% in Kerala alone). Like FederalBank, SIB also has a large NRI customer base (14% of total deposits).Of late, the bank has aggressively started focusing on the gold loan portfolio- a highly profitable and secured loan segment. Gold loans accounted for~26% of the bank's loan book as of 2QFY2012 and management is targetingto further increase the same.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: SIB's growth is expected to be in-line with the sector’sgrowth, though with a slight bias towards market share loss in the longterm; Momentum in the gold loan portfolio is expected to sustain the bank'shigh growth in the near term.
Competitive position: Gold loans have been a key differentiator of late;Else primarily a niche customer legacy, with limited scope for broad-basedgrowth into other regions or product segments.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; significant entry barriersfor new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong business growth: SIB has been growing at a healthy pace primarilydue to a rapidly growing gold loan portfolio (84% CAGR over FY2009-11).Gold loans (at ~`6,500cr) now constitute ~26% of the overall loan book.The bank's plans to raise substantial `1,000cr of equity capital (~59% ofFY2011 net worth) to maintain its strong growth are temporarily on holddue to market conditions.
NIMs likely to have peaked out: SIB's NIMs have been healthy despite itsrelatively low CASA deposits due to increasing share of high-yielding goldloans. However, increasing competition in the gold loan space and entry ofseveral players are likely to reduce the so-far above-average profitability ofthis segment going forward. Also, the RBI's recent move of deregulatinginterest rates on NRE deposits has diminished the competitive cost advantageof these deposits, in our view. Assuming all the NRE term and savings deposits(comprising 8.5% of deposits) re-price over the next one year, the bank'sNIMs could get impacted by up to 35bp.
Valuations limit upside: Old private bank stocks such as SIB have outperformedsince the RBI's intention of awarding more bank licenses, potentially due toincreased M&A expectations (leading to inadequate margin of safety at currentvaluations, in our view). Current valuations at 1.1x FY2013E ABV have factoredin the positives, in our view, and are considerably above the valuations ofsmall and mid-size PSU banks, which have similar fundamentals, even afterfactoring in robust growth witnessed due to the sharp rise in gold loans.Hence, we maintain our Neutral stance on the stock.

Company BackgroundState Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank in India, with an asset size of~`12,40,000cr. The bank has the widest network of ~13,500 branches,with dominant presence across all regions of the country, including two-thirds of its branches in rural and semi-urban areas (in comparison, the secondlargest PSU bank has ~5,300 branches and the largest private sector bankhas ~2,500 branches). The bank also has 164 overseas branches, whichaccount for ~14% of its total loans. It has subsidiaries in life insurance,asset management, credit cards and capital markets, among others; andfive regional subsidiary banks (having ~4,800 branches and combined assetsize of ~`3,75,000cr).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Enjoying maximum public confidence, SBI is one ofthe few PSU banks to have gained not only credit market share but alsosavings market share over FY2007-11. Post capital infusion by the Governmentof India, we expect SBI's growth to be a notch higher than the expectedmedium-term sectoral growth of 17-18%.
Competitive position: SBI's dominant savings market share (~26%) enablesit to have one of the lowest cost of funds. Moreover, government businesscontributes significant free floats and fee income (at 1.3% of average assets,highest amongst PSU banks). Poor asset quality, especially from prioritysector lending, has been the bank's Achilles heel.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsImproving savings market share: Until FY2007, SBI lost CASA marketshare to private sector banks pursuing aggressive branch expansion. However,since then the bank's market share of savings deposits has expanded substantiallyby 400bp to 26.4% (FY2007-1HFY2012), driven by relatively fast branchexpansion (8.3% CAGR vs. 2-5% for most PSU banks), leveraging its tremendoustrust factor in the country. Even in FY2011, the bank added 1,000+ branchesto further bolster its already strong network to 13,542 branches.
Provisioning costs to decline: Provisioning costs for the bank in 1HFY2012at 0.9% of assets were already higher than 2008 levels of ~0.5%, partlydue to one-time regulatory provisions. Consequently, although SBI's coreRoEs have improved over the past few years, actual RoEs are below corelevels, leaving scope for improvement even after factoring in higher NPAs inthe coming quarters. Hence, unlike other PSU banks, SBI is likely to reporta healthy earnings CAGR of 26% over FY2011-13E.
Reasonable valuations: In light of its dominant position and reach, strongsavings market share gains, high fee income and superior earnings quality,current valuations at 1.2x FY2013E ABV adjusting for value of subsidiaries(1.5x without adjusting for subsidiaries) are quite reasonable, in our view.Hence, we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀2,359

Company BackgroundPunjab National Bank (PNB) is the country's second-largest bank, with abalance sheet size of over `4lakh cr and a pan-India network of 5,300+branches. The bank's network is primarily spread over northern India, in Punjab,Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. More than 63% of its branches are based inrural and semi-urban hinterland, which results in a large legacy of low-costCASA deposits (at 36.3% of deposits, one of the highest in the sector).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: PNB has been growing its loan book well ahead ofthe industry's over the past three years (26.5% vs 18.5% industry growth).However, in our view, it will be difficult for PSU banks such as PNB totranslate this kind of balance sheet growth into similar level of earningsgrowth in the medium term, with the key constraints being asset-qualityissues as well as loss in CASA market share. Accordingly, we expect thebank to report earnings growth a notch below the sector's average, thoughbetter than mid-size PSU banks.
Competitive position: The bank enjoys a strong CASA legacy but has beenlosing CASA market share consistently to private banks (down from 7.9% inFY2002 to 6.7% in 1HFY2012). Overall, we expect PSU banks as a groupto lose market share to private banks in the medium to long term.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong CASA legacy, but losing market share: PNB enjoys a structuraladvantage of having a better CASA ratio of 36.3%, which is driven by strongrural and semi-urban presence, especially in North India. That said, the bankis losing its market share like most other public sector banks on account ofslow branch expansion and competition from private banks - savings marketshare declined by 50bp to 7.4% during FY2008-1HFY2012.
Persistent asset-quality pressures: Asset-quality pressures for the bankcontinue to persist. Management expects strong recoveries and upgradationsin 2HFY2012, but taking into account the bank's relatively high exposure torisky sectors (reflected in higher yields) and the overall deterioratingmacro-economic environment, we remain cautious on asset-quality pressures.
Reasonable valuations: The bank's valuations have corrected to 1.0x FY2013EABV vs. its five-year range of 1.1-1.6x and median of 1.4x due to theasset-quality concerns faced by the sector. Taking into account the bank'sstructurally low cost of deposits vs. peers and valuations at the lower end ofits historical trading range, we currently have a positive stance on the bank.Hence,we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a target priceof `̀̀̀̀1,059.

Company BackgroundBank of Baroda (BoB) is the third-largest public sector bank in India, witha balance sheet size of almost `3.9lakh cr. The bank has a network of ~3,500domestic branches and over 1,800 ATMs, mainly in western India (~45% oftotal branch network). The bank has a strong presence overseas, with over25% of its advances coming from overseas branches.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: BoB has grown faster than the industry, leading to87bp credit market share gains over FY2008-11, while maintaining a betterasset-quality profile and CASA market share performance than peers. In themedium to long term, we expect BoB's growth to largely range from in-lineto a notch above its peer average.
Competitive position: BoB has delivered healthy performance over the pastfew years, backed by investments in its channels to improve its customerproposition. That said, in the medium to long term, we expect PSU bankssuch as BoB to lose their market share to private banks, though at a lowerrate than witnessed during FY2002-08 and at a relatively low rate than mid-size PSU banks.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsImprovement in core return ratios: The bank's credit growth (~29% CAGR)comfortably outpaced the sector's growth (~20% CAGR) duringFY2007-11, which increased the bank's leverage and operating efficiencycloser to optimum levels (operating expenses declined from 2% of assets inFY2007 to 1.3% in 1HFY2012), driving improvement in core RoE from 12.4%to 21.5%. Moreover, this growth has, in our view, not been driven by above-average risk taking, considering the bank's moderate yields (evidenced inlow net NPA ratio at 0.5% in 2QFY2012).
Focus on channel improvements: The bank has drawn aggressive expansionplans for opening ~550 branches (~15% of existing branch network) inFY2012. Also, being one of the larger west-based PSU banks, it has beenone of the better performers relative to peers on the channel improvementfront (such as internet banking, phone banking and cash management), reflectedin healthy CASA at a 20.6% CAGR over FY2007-11.
Attractive valuations: BoB has been rerated in recent years due to healthyimprovement in its core profitability. The bank's current valuations at 1.0xFY2013E ABV are similar to valuations at which its peers are trading, while,in our view, the bank has a better asset-quality and earnings outlook ascompared to peers. As a result, it is one of our preferred picks amongstlarge PSU banks. Hence, we maintain our Buy recommendation on thestock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀906.

Company BackgroundBank of India (BoI) is amongst the five largest banks in India, with a balancesheet size of over `3.5 lakh cr. The bank has a pan-India network of 3,700+branches, of which ~63% are located in rural and semi-urban areas. Thebank also has considerable presence overseas, which accounts for ~24%of its total loans (amongst the highest in the Indian banking industry).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The bank's relatively high pace of credit growth hasled to market share gains of ~50bp over FY2007-11. However, to matchthis with similar level of earnings growth in the medium term, asset-qualityissues as well as loss in CASA market share are expected to be the keyconstraints.
Competitive position: Overall, we expect PSU banks such as BoI to losetheir market share to private banks in the medium to long term. BoI has alsobeen embattled with asset-quality issues in recent years.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsEmbattled with asset-quality issues: Asset-quality pressures, which hadmoderated in FY2011 post the severe stress witnessed in FY2010, haveonce again risen in 1HFY2012, with slippages rate rising to 4.2%. Whilethe spike was partly due to the migration to system-based NPA recognitionplatform, the rate of slippages could remain on the higher side in the comingquarters as well due to the weakening macro environment. As a result, earnings,which are expected to decline by ~6% yoy in FY2012 due to lower NIMs,are likely to remain subdued even in FY2013. Consequently, the bank's RoEs,which were unsustainably high at 28% in FY2008 and FY2009 and subsequentlydeclined to 14% in FY2010 itself, are likely to remain at sub-14% till FY2013,as the bank continues to pay the price for high risk-taking in FY2008-09.
Modest fee income and funding mix: The bank's international operationscontribute a substantial ~24% to its advances and enable a wider spectrumof fee-based services to its corporate and retail customers. The bank has arelatively moderate funding mix, with domestic CASA ratio at 30.2% as of2QFY2012.
Outlook and valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at cyclically lowvaluations of 1.0x FY2013E ABV compared to its historical range of1.1-1.6x, with a median of 1.3x. However, valuations are relatively high comparedto peers, considering the poor RoE outlook for the bank due to macro headwinds.Accordingly, we recommend a Neutral rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundCanara Bank is the largest south-based PSU bank (overall fifth largest bankin India), with a balance sheet size of over `3.5lakh cr. The bank has areasonably large pan-India presence, with about 45% of its 3,400+ branchesoutside South India (the bank also has 2,600+ ATMs).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The bank's relatively high pace of credit growth hasled to market share gains of 44bp over FY2008-11. However, in our view, itwill be difficult for PSU banks such as Canara Bank to translate such growthin balance sheet into similar level of earnings growth in the medium term,with the key constraints being asset-quality issues as well as loss in CASAmarket share. Accordingly, we expect the bank to post earnings growth anotch below the sector's average, though better than mid-size PSU banks.
Competitive position: Overall, we expect PSU banks such as Canara Bankto lose market share to private banks in the medium to long term. Moreover,amongst larger banks, Canara Bank has a relatively low CASA ratio of 25.8%,leading to lower margins.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsWeak deposit franchise likely to keep NIMs under pressure: Canara Bankhas a relatively weak deposit mix, with a CASA ratio of 25.8% anda relatively high proportion of bulk deposits and CDs at ~30% of deposits.Accordingly, we expect the bank's NIM to dip by ~50bp for FY2012 comparedto FY2011.
Asset quality to remain an overhang: The bank's advances grew at anabove-average 26% CAGR over FY2008-11, driven by strong traction ininfrastructure-related loans, which now contribute ~17% to its total loans.The bank has already experienced substantial slippages in the past threequarters, partly due to migration to system-based NPA recognition, but therate of slippages could remain on the higher side due to the weakeningmacro environment. As a result, earnings, which are expected to decline inFY2012 due to lower NIMs, are likely to remain flat even going into FY2013.
Valuations largely factor in the negatives: The stock has considerablyunderperformed its peers (Bank Nifty by 15% over the past one year), primarilydue to concerns regarding NIMs and asset quality. Cyclically low valuationsof 0.9x FY2013E ABV vs. five-year average of 1.2x and range of 0.8-1.4x, inour view, largely factor in the negatives and a downward bais on interestrates is a positive for the bank. Hence, we recommend Buy on the stockwith a target price of `̀̀̀̀510.

IDBI wasincorporated in 1964 as a development financial institution; but in October2004, it was transformed into a banking company with the reverse mergerof IDBI and its subsidiary IDBI Bank. The bank now offers an array of wholesaleand retail banking products, apart from providing long-term finance for industrialdevelopment.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: IDBI Bank is in a position to grow its CASA depositsand balance sheet a notch faster than its peers over the medium to longterm, in our view, on account of its relatively new and fast expanding branchnetwork than other PSU banks.
Competitive position: Overall, we expect PSU banks, including IDBI Bank,to lose their market share to private banks in the medium to long term. However,compared to its peers, the bank is rapidly transforming its deposit basefrom wholesale to retail, which is expected to improve core profitability inthe medium term. Legacy asset-quality issues, however, continue to houndthe bank.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong branch expansion and relatively healthy fee income: IDBI Bankenjoys the advantage of a modern, 100% CBS branch network, which isgrowing organically at a much faster rate than other PSU banks (17-18%CAGR post the FY2007 UWB acquisition). Relative to other PSU banks,on account of the bank's strong corporate relationships and governmentmandates, the bank's fee income at 0.8% of overall assets is also healthy.
SASF - A burden on the bank's books: At the time of its merger,IDBI Bank had to set up a stressed asset stabilization fund (SASF) of ~`9,000cr,through which the bank has witnessed only ~`3,500cr worth of cash recoveries(as of FY2011). The possibility of an entire recovery seems implausible andthe large remaining unrecoverable amount of ~`5,541cr would eventuallyhave to be reduced from its net worth (denting net worth by ~36%).
Outlook and valuation: The bank has been among the fastest-growing banksin terms of CASA deposits over the past few years (CAGR of 36% overFY2007-11) even when compared to private banks and now has a marketshare of 2.1% (as of FY2011). At the CMP, the bank is trading at moderatevaluations of 0.8x FY2013E P/ABV, adjusting for the SASF amount (0.6xwithout adjusting). In our view, the bank is one of the PSU banks to watchout for, especially once near-term asset quality headwinds subside. Hence,we recommend a Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀107

Company BackgroundUnion Bank of India is the seventh largest public sector bank, with a balancesheet size of almost `2.5lakh cr. The bank has a reasonably large pan-Indiapresence with 3,000+ branches and over 2,700 ATMs. The bank was one ofthe early adopters of core banking technology amongst PSU banks.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The bank's relatively high pace of credit growth hasled to market share gains of ~40bp over FY2008-11. However, decliningCASA market share (~60bp over FY2008-11) and weakening asset qualityare expected to be an impediment to such balance sheet growth, translatinginto equally high earnings growth in the medium term.
Competitive position: Overall, we expect PSU banks such as Union Bankof India to lose their market share to private banks in the medium to longterm. Moreover, amongst larger banks, Union Bank of India has been witnessingrelatively high asset-quality concerns of late.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsCASA ratio expected to sustain at ~32% levels: We are relatively positiveon the bank's CASA growth outlook, owing to its large branch expansion inrecent years compared to its peers. The bank has opened ~400 branchesin the past two years, which in our view should aid the bank in maintainingits CASA ratio at ~32% levels. The bank is aiming to open another 225branches during FY2012.
High provisioning impacting profitability: Union Bank of India had managedto improve its asset quality over FY2011 (slippage ratio of 1.4% as of 4QFY2011).However, from 1QFY2012, the bank, on account of stress from SME andagri portfolio and shift to system-based NPA recognition platform, had seenits slippages balloon from 1.4% in 4QFY2011 to 4.8% as of 2QFY2012and provision coverage ratio decline to 60.5%. Although the asset qualityimproved in 3QFY2012 with slippage ratio declining to 1.5%, higher provisioningexpenses (75.7% of PPP) negatively impacted the profitability. However,with slippages expected to decline in the coming few quarters, profitabiltyis expected to improve back to normalised levels, in our view.
Reasonable valuation: In our view, Union Bank of India is structurally amongthe more profitable and competitive PSU banks. Going ahead, pick-up inrecoveries from the technically slipped accounts is likely to cushion furtherstress. Moreover, asset-quality stress seems to have been largely factoredinto the price, in our view. The stock is trading at cheap valuations of 0.8xFY2013E P/ABV, lower than other large PSU banks, and well below itsfive-year median of 1.2x and range of 0.9-1.5x. Hence, we recommend aBuy rating with a target price of `̀̀̀̀222.

Company BackgroundCentral Bank of India is one of the larger mid-size PSU banks, with a balancesheet size of ~`2.2lakh cr. The bank has one of the largest branch networksof ~4,000 branches, which are well spread across several major states ofIndia. The bank also has the second highest proportion of rural andsemi-urban branches (63% of total branches). In the past, the bank's focuson low-yielding bulk corporate loans was contributing to lower profitability,but slowly the bank is trying to increase its retail lending (still low at about11% of loans).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as Central Bank of Indiaare expected to gradually lose their market share, as private sector banksmake inroads into their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks. Central Bank of India also suffers fromrelatively low branch and employee productivity, leading to further loss incompetitiveness within its peer set.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsLow branch productivity and structurally higher opex structure: The banksuffers from low branch and employee productivity in terms of business perbranch as well as business per employee. Business per branch for FY2011was ~34% lower than large and medium PSU peer banks. Due to this, thebank suffers from higher operating expenses, as reflected in opex-to-averageassets ratio of ~1.6% during FY2009-11.
Near-term asset-quality concerns: A late starter in CBS implementation,the bank commenced the switchover to NPA-based recognition system onlypost 1QFY2012. The bank still has to switch over accounts below ̀ 10lakhs(comprising 20% of loan book) in 2HFY2012, which could lead to increasedNPAs. Also, the bank's exposure to the infrastructure sector is relativelyhigh at ~21% of the funded exposure, with the power sector accounting forover two-thirds of the same.
Valuations: At the CMP, the stock is trading at cheap valuations of 0.6xFY2013E ABV compared to its trading range of 0.6-1.5x with a median of1.1x since its listing in 2007. However, we believe this is outweighed by thesubstantial near-term concerns on asset quality. While the stock has correctedsubstantially over the past year, it is still trading higher than some of theother mid-size PSU banks with better asset-quality outlook and return ratios.Hence, we maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundSyndicate Bank is a south-based mid-size PSU bank, with an asset base inexcess of `1.6lakh cr. The bank has 2,500+ branches, with a more spread-out network than other regional banks, having 53% branches in the southand the remaining spread across several states of the country (23% of branchesin the northern region). The bank also has a reasonable presence overseas,which accounts for ~10% of its total loans.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as Syndicate Bank are expectedto gradually lose their market share, as private sector banks make inroadsinto their stronghold regions.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks such as Syndicate Bank, in our view, have a relatively weak competitiveposition compared to private as well as large PSU banks.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsBetter asset quality and moderate NIM to drive profitability: The bankwitnessed a surge in slippages in 2QFY2012 to 3.6% due to the switchoverto system-based NPA recognition platform; slippages are also likely to remainabove average levels due to the deteriorating domestic macro environment.However, the bank's conservative lending, visible in its low yield on advancesand moderate advances growth (16% CAGR over FY2010-12E), is expectedto lead to better asset quality than peers. Moreover, the bank's calculatedNIM improved by 90bp in FY2011 over FY2010 to healthy 3.0%. In-linewith our view that margins are likely to remain stable for the sector as awhole, we expect Syndicate Bank's NIM to also remain healthy in the comingquarters.
Attractive valuations: We expect Syndicate Bank to deliver RoEs of 18.5%and 16.5% in FY2012 and FY2013, respectively, on the back of its betterasset-quality outlook than peers and moderate NIM. The bank has a modestCASA franchise with a CASA ratio of 30.8% (as of 3QFY2012), while feeincome is also modest at 0.6% of average assets (as of FY2011). However,that said, the bank's relatively cheap valuations and low asset-quality concernsturn the tide in the stock's favor. The stock is currently trading at a substantialdiscount (0.6x FY2013E ABV) vs. its five-year range of 0.7-1.3x and medianof 0.9x. Also, the valuations appear cheap compared to its peers, which aretrading at higher multiples, although they have similar or poorer fundamentals.We value the stock at 0.7x FY2013E ABV and continue to maintain ourBuy recommendation with a target price of `̀̀̀̀106.

Company BackgroundAllahabad Bank is a mid-size public sector bank, with a branch network ofover 2,400 branches and balance sheet of ~`1.6lakh cr. The bank's branchesare mostly concentrated in the northern (~40%) and eastern (~40%) statesof India.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as Allahabad Bank are expectedto gradually lose their credit market share, as private sector banks makeinroads into their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsHealthy retail deposit base: Allahabad Bank has a substantial 41% of itsbranches in the CASA deposit-rich rural areas, which ensure relatively highsustainability of the low-cost deposits reservoir, also reflected in the strong24.0% CAGR in the bank's saving account deposits over FY2009-11. Althoughthe bank's CASA market share reduced by 25bp over FY2006-1HFY2012to 2.4%, the decline in market share has been one of the lowest in its peergroup. Also, the bank has a relatively low share of wholesale deposits andCDs at 12.1%.
Higher yielding loans could lead to higher NPAs: Allahabad Bank hadone of the highest reported yield on advances for 2QFY2012 (12.6%) amongstall PSU banks. The bank's yield on advances has risen by 185bp yoy, thehighest increase within the PSU segment, indicating increased risk takingin the form of higher yielding loans over the past one year. While the bank'sprovisioning costs are on the higher side (0.9% for 1HFY2012 comparedto average 0.8% for PSUs), its risk-adjusted yields are still well above sectoraverage, indicating the possibility of negative surprises on theasset-quality front. As a result, with no additional room for expansion in yieldsand asset quality expected to further see deterioration due to the higherrisk taking, higher-than-peer average return ratios for the bank could comeunder pressure.
Outlook and valuation: The bank's return ratios are on the higher side;however, higher estimated provisioning expenses are expected to impactprofitability going forward. That said, positives for Allahabad Bank includemoderateCASA ratio of 30.6% and better-than-peer average fee income at 0.8x ofassets. The bank is trading at valuations of 0.7x FY2013E ABV comparedto its median of 1.0x and 5 year range of 0.6-1.2x. Hence, we recommendan Accumulate rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀158.

Company BackgroundCorporation Bank is a mid-size PSU bank, with a balance sheet size of~`1.4lakh cr. The bank's branches are mainly concentrated in the southernstates (~50%) with majority being in Karnataka (~26%). The bank, unlikemost other PSU banks, has more than half of its branches located in urbanand metropolitan areas (~56%).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as Corporation Bank areexpected to gradually lose their credit market share, as private sector banksmake inroads into their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks. Further, unlike most PSUs, CorporationBank has more than half of its branches located in urban and metropolitanareas, and although this has often prompted the bank to be ahead of otherPSU banks in implementing newer technologies and services, it also exposesthe bank to much higher competition from private banks.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsModern, cost-efficient network to support moderate CASA growth: DuringFY2007-11, growth in the bank's average CASA deposits was robust relativeto peers at 20.4%. We believe the bank's efficient and expanding network,supported by a consistent track record in early adoption of emerging technologies,creates a positive traction in its deposit franchise, though this is temperedmainly by substantial competition from larger banks.
Low operating cost and superior asset quality: Large corporates comprise~38% of the bank's credit book, leading to relatively low yield on advances,but simultaneously offering superior asset quality to the bank.Corporation Bank is also among the most cost-efficient PSU banks, both interms of its operating expenses as a percentage of average assets as wellas branch and employee productivity.
Valuations reasonable: The bank's low CASA ratio (~22%) has contributedto higher margin pressures, given the prevailing high interest rates. Accordingly,peaking of interest rates bodes well for it. Currently, the stock is trading at0.6x FY2013E ABV (five-year range of 0.8x-1.4x and median of 1.0x), whichwe believe provides a margin of safety from current macro headwinds.Also, the structural positive for the bank is its proactive investment in moderndistribution and payment systems, which has led to consistently faster CASAgrowth compared to peers. We value the bank at 0.8x FY2013E ABVand recommend a Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀450.

Company BackgroundIndian Bank is a Chennai-based mid-size public sector bank, with 1,927branches and a balance sheet size of ~`1.3lakh cr. Around two-thirds of thebank's branches are spread across the southern states with majority beingin the parent state of Tamil Nadu (43%).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as Indian Bank are expectedto gradually lose their market share as private sector banks make inroadsinto their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks such as Indian Bank, in our view, have a relatively weak competitiveposition compared to private as well as large PSU banks.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; significant entry barriersfor new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsHealthy profitability: Indian Bank's performance has broadly been positiveand balanced since its listing in 2007, leading to a gradual improvement inthe quality of earnings, visible amongst other things in the substantial 80bpdecline in the bank's operating costs as a percentage of assets. Additionally,the bank's CMD has a five-year tenure, which provides a reasonable strategicstability to the bank.
Relatively high yields: A large portion of SME and mid-corporate loans hascontributed to the bank's relatively high yield on advances, while asset qualityhas held up reasonably so far, resulting in the bank enjoying one of thehighest risk-adjusted yields in its peer group (90bp higher than sector averagein FY2011). This has supported NIMs, which, in FY2011, were higher thaneven larger banks having 40% CASA deposits vs. Indian Bank's 30%. Pastexperience shows that bank's that delivered high NIMs on the back of highyields later paid the price for the higher risk taken, in the form higher NPAsin subsequent years. Accordingly, going ahead, as in case of other bankswith unsustainably high yields, we are cautious on the bank's asset qualityand NIM outlook.
Valuations higher than peers: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 0.8xFY2013E ABV, which is at the lower end of its five-year range of 0.8-1.3x,providing valuation upsides as the macro environment improves. However,valuations are relatively high compared to peers, which are trading at 0.5-0.7x FY2013E ABV and even some of the larger banks trading at about 0.8xFY2013E ABV. As these relatively high valuations are primarily attributableto the bank's high NIMs, which may not sustain in the medium term, webelieve the risk-return trade-off in case of Indian Bank is less favorable.Hence, we recommend an Accumulate rating on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀223, implying a 9.7% upside from current levels.

Company BackgroundAndhra Bank is a mid-size PSU bank, with a balance sheet size of~`1.2lakh cr. The bank has a network of over 1,652 branches, mainly concentratedin the southern region (66% in the parent state of Andhra Pradesh).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as Andhra Bank are expectedto gradually lose their credit market share, as private sector banks makeinroads into their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks. Further, in case of Andhra Bank, asset-quality pressures going ahead could lead to underperformance within themid-PSU segment.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsModerate fee income, low CASA: During FY2007-11, fee income for thebank posted a CAGR of only 12.8% compared to advances reporting aCAGR of 26.5%. However, at 0.8% of overall assets for FY2011, fee incomefor the bank is moderate compared to other mid-size PSU banks. On theCASA front, the bank's market share has fallen by 35bp over FY2005-1HFY2012and the bank's CASA ratio, at 26.1%, is on the lower end compared topeers.
Risk-adjusted yields expected to fall: The bank has one of the highestyields in the industry (12.5% as of 2QFY2012), also reflected in the relativelystrong NIM of 3.3% (as of FY2011). This can be partly attributed to thebank's high concentration in the hinterland of its home state. That said, it isdifficult for banks to remain insulated from competition on the lending sideand, as a result, we expect a decline in the bank's risk-adjusted yields andoverall profitability over the medium term. Also, in the current environment,the bank's provisioning expenses are likely to increase at a faster rate, giventhe high yield on advances and relatively high exposure to riskier sectors.
Valuations provide inadequate margin of safety: At the CMP, the stock istrading at 0.7x FY2013E ABV, which is at the lower end of its five-yearrange of 0.7-1.3x, providing valuation upsides once the macro-environmentimproves. However, relatively high risk exposures, particularly the power sector(more than 20% of the loan book), create risk of higher deterioration in thebank’s asset quality in the coming quarters, in our view. Considering, thebank's peers are also trading at similar valuations of 0.7x, with similar orbetter asset-quality outlook, we remain Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundUnited Bank of India is a mid-size public sector bank, with operations mostlyconcentrated in the eastern and northeastern states of India (81%). Thesestates have contributed to the bank's high CASA deposits, though low creditdemand especially in the northeast has prompted the bank to so far relymore on large corporate loans, including in consortium.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as United Bank of India areexpected to gradually lose their credit market share as private sector banksmake inroads into their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsHigh CASA ratio with healthy growth in savings account deposits: UnitedBank of India has grown its CASA deposits at a healthy CAGR of 19.4%over FY2007-11 compared to 12.2% for its peers. A high CASA ratio (39.9%as of 2QFY2012) has allowed the bank to maintain healthy margins (3.2%for 2QFY2012). The bank has further levers in the form of low CD ratio(69.4% as of 2QFY2012) and change in loan mix (retail and SME constitutea low 30.0% of total advances as of 2QFY2012) for improving its margins.
Asset quality has been a concern recently: The bank's slippage run-rateaveraged ~`250cr for FY2011; however, in 2QFY2012, this figure has jumpedmore than 2x to `621cr. While partly attributable to the shift to system-based NPA recognition platform, chunky NPAs from some large corporateaccounts, particularly iron and steel, have also added to the pain (lent inconsortium). The bank's risk-adjusted yields are already on the lower sideand, in our view, should see improvement in the medium term; however, inthe near term, asset quality could remain volatile.
Valuations inexpensive: We believe the bank has several levers for structurallyimproving its ROA, but challenges of improving yields while maintaining theasset quality continue to remain an investment concern on the stock. Thatsaid, the bank is trading at inexpensive valuations of 0.6x FY2013E ABV(one of the lowest in the industry). The bank's peers are trading in the rangeof 0.6x-0.8x FY2013 ABV, in spite of having similar and in some cases muchlower CASA ratios. We value the stock at 0.7x FY2013E ABV; and hence,recommend a Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀70.

Company BackgroundVijaya Bank is a mid-size PSU bank with a balance sheet size of ~`90,000cr.The bank's branches are mainly concentrated in the southern states (~60%),with majority being in the parent state of Karnataka (~40%). The bank, unlikemost other PSU banks, has more than half of its branches located in theurban and metropolitan areas (~56%).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as Andhra Bank are expectedto gradually lose their credit market share as private sector banks makeinroads into their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks. Moreover, in our view, Vijaya Bank isstructurally weaker compared to its peers in terms of relatively low CASAdeposits, higher operating costs and lower fee income as a percentage ofassets.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsUnfavorable deposit mix: The bank's CASA market share has declinedcontinuously over FY2005-1HFY2012 (42bp) and stands at a small 1.0%as of 1HFY2012. In fact, with the persistence of higher FD interest rates,the bank has seen further erosion in its CASA ratio over the past few quarters.Along with a low CASA ratio (25% as of 2QFY2012), the bank also has ahigh proportion of bulk deposits (~33% as of FY2011). Owing to anunfavorable deposit mix, we expect the bank's NIM to remain under pressurein the medium term.
Lower return ratios: The bank's RoA and RoE, at 0.5% and 13.8% in FY2011,are on the lower side. Apart from low CASA, this is also on account of lowerfee income (0.55% of average assets as of FY2011) and high operatingexpenses (1.65% of average assets). The bank is also facing asset-qualitypressures, as evident in its higher slippages (5.0% in 1QFY2012 and 3.7%for 2QFY2012) and lower provision coverage ratio of 66.1% as of 2QFY2012.
Valuations seem justified: Considering the persistent asset-quality issuesand lower estimated RoAs, the current valuations of 0.7x FY2013E ABVlook expensive compared to peers that have better return ratios and earningsprofile. The bank, in our view, is commanding high valuations due to expectationsof large recoveries from its existing NPAs. However, we believe these valuationsprovide inadequate comfort in light of the bank's weaker fundamentals. Hence,we have a Neutral rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundBank of Maharashtra (BoM) is a mid-size Pune-based public sector bank,with operations mostly concentrated in the parent state of Maharashtra (~65%branches as of FY2011). The bank has the highest number of branches inMaharashtra (1,021 as of FY2011) after State Bank of India, which hasallowed the bank to grow in-line with the state's progress over the pastdecade.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Mid-size PSU banks such as BoM are expected togradually lose their credit market share as private sector banks make inroadsinto their hinterlands.
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks. However, amongst mid-size PSU banks,BoM benefits from having ~65% of its branches in Maharashtra, which hashealthy credit demand (evidenced from the state's high credit to GDP of157% compared to pan-India ratio of 72.7%).
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsBetter asset quality than peers: The bank does not have materially highexposure to any industry, except the power sector (13.0% of overall grossadvances), of which 71% is towards SEB lending, where no material NPVloss is expected. Also, the bank had implemented system-based NPA recognitionsystem in FY2011 itself and since then has been seeing recoveries andupgrades from technical slippages. Conservative credit growth, moderateyield loan book and recoveries post CBS implementation have allowed thebank to progressively improve its asset quality over the past few quarters.The bank's capital adequacy is below 8%, but it expects adequate equitycapital infusion from the government to take it above 8%.
Healthy CASA ratio: BoM has enjoyed a healthy CASA ratio in the vicinityof 40% over the past several years on the back of strong rural andsemi-urban presence (accounting for ~55% of the entire branch network).The bank also has a large share of local government accounts in Maharashtra(~30% of saving accounts) and gets healthy fee income business from thestate government.
Valuation inexpensive for BoM: At the CMP, the stock is trading at attractivevaluations, in our view, of 0.7x FY2013E ABV vs. its five-year range of0.6-1.2x and median of 0.9x. On the back of high NIM, moderate fee incomeand better asset quality than peers, we expect the bank to deliver a healthy26.3% earnings CAGR over FY2011-13E. We value the stock at 0.8x and,hence, recommend a Buy rating with a target price of `̀̀̀̀53, implying anupside of 18.4%.

Company BackgroundJammu and Kashmir (J&K) Bank is a mid-size public sector bank, with abranch network of over 550 branches and operations mostly concentratedin the parent state of J&K (~80% branches as of FY2011). The bank hasthe highest number of branches (~450) in J&K (SBI with 156 branchescomes a distant second), allowing the bank to maintain a favorable depositmix along with healthy margins.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The bank's growth potential is linked to that of J&Kstate, whose GDP is at present growing at 6.6%, below India's overall GDPgrowth rate of 7-8% and where credit demand is below the country's average(credit-to-GDP at 52% vs. 88% at all-India level).
Competitive position: In the context of the overall sector, mid-size PSUbanks, in our view, have a relatively weak competitive position compared toprivate as well as large PSU banks. However, J&K Bank is mostly insulatedfrom competition in its core market areas, rendering slight advantage to thebank compared to other mid-size PSU banks.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector; Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsRobust asset quality: Over the years, the bank has maintained robust assetquality, with the best-in-industry provision coverage ratio (92.0% as of 2QFY2012).Slippages declined considerably (0.8% for 2QFY2012 compared to 1.3%for 4QFY2011) and were lower compared to most other PSU banks in2QFY2012.
Strong branch network and legacy - Dominant market share: The bank,with ~450 branches, has the highest number of branches in J&K (SBI with156 comes a distant second). Due to its strong branch network and legacyof banking relationships, the bank has a dominant 70% market share in depositsin J&K. CASA deposits constituted strong 47.8% of incremental depositsgrowth from FY2004-11. This strong base of low-cost deposits is expectedto sustain relatively high NIM of 3.2-3.4% vs. other mid-size banks.
Outlook and valuation: The stock is trading at 0.8x FY2013E ABV vis-à-visits historic range of 0.8-1.4x and five-year median of 1.0x. Immediate leversin the form of increased CD ratio from the current low of 59.5% to higheryielding advances are likely to provide near-term higher momentum to NIIgrowth for the bank relative to other mid-size banks. However, the bank'sincreasing non-J&K exposure on the asset side poses medium-term concerns.Also, the stock has been one of the best-performing stocks in the PSUspace in the past one year and current relatively high valuations are likely tolimit outperformance. Hence, we recommend an Accumulate rating onthe stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀820.

Company BackgroundHDFC is India's leading housing finance company, with a balance sheetsize of over `1.5lakh cr. The company's primary business is to provide loansfor the purchase or construction of residential houses. HDFC's distributionnetwork spans 298 outlets, covering more than 90 locations across India.From its origins as a specialized mortgage company, HDFC has grown intoa financial conglomerate with market leading group companies in banking,asset management and insurance.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: While overall credit penetration in India is in any caselow, the underpenetration is much starker in retail loans (it stands at ~6%of GDP in India, as against 70-100% in most developed countries). Growingurbanization, increasing number of nuclear families, rising disposable incomeand greater availability of cheap home loans are expected to drive healthy20%+ growth in the home loan segment over the medium to long term.
Competitive position: The housing finance industry is a keenly competitivesegment, with banks having a significant presence. However, large housingfinance companies, like HDFC, with a dedicated focus on thesegment - leading to robust loan sourcing and appraisal as well as highcredit rating enabling competitive cost of funds - should be able to withstandcompetition from banks, even going forward. The company also has one ofthe most well regarded top managements in the industry as well as awell-established conservative risk management philosophy.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector
Current Investment ArgumentsConsistency in performance: HDFC has witnessed healthy growth in itsloan portfolio, registering a CAGR of 21.1% over FY2006-11. During theperiod, HDFC's earnings have also witnessed an equally healthy 18.8%CAGR. This has been backed by the company's strong asset quality, lowoperating costs and ability to keep cost of funds on the lower side. Weexpect HDFC's loan book to continue growing at 20% over FY2011-13,resulting in earnings growth of 16.0% and an average RoE of 36.9% overthe same period.
Valuations expensive: At the CMP, HDFC's core business (after adjusting`226/share towards the value of subsidiaries) is trading at 4.4x FY2013EABV (including subsidiaries the stock is trading at 4.3x FY2013E ABV). Weexpect HDFC to post a healthy PAT CAGR of 15.7% over FY2011-13E.However, considering that the stock is currently trading at 4.3x one-yearforward P/ABV (only slightly lower than its median of 4.6x over the past fiveyears) and at a ~55% premium to the Sensex in P/E terms (compared to anaverage of ~37% over the past five years), we consider the stock to be fullyvalued and, hence, recommend Neutral on the stock.

Current Investment ArgumentsStrong pick-up in loan offtake over the past couple of years: LICHF hasbeen able to grow its loan book at a 35.9% CAGR over FY2009-11, drivenby a strong parent brand, success of its home loan products (~25% of itsloan book comprised teaser loans as of FY2011) and strategic focus ontier-2 and tier-3 cities to sell its home loans.
Concerns on the regulatory front: LICHF's loan disbursements throughits product 'Advantage-5' are still under scrutiny from the NHB and couldbe classified as teaser loan, leading to higher provisioning for the company.Also, capital adequacy requirements are relatively less strict for HFCs (12%CAR required with no specific requirement for tier-1 capital) as comparedto NBFCs (15% CAR required, 10% minimum tier-1 in case of IFCs). As ofFY2011, the CAR of LICHF stood at 14.6% (tier-1 ratio of 8.7% including1HFY2012 profits), and considering LICHF is leveraged 12-13 times,the company might experience equity dilution in future if CAR requirementsare raised. At present we have built in `500cr of capital infusion in thecompany.
Valuations reasonable: The stock used to trade in a lower range earlier(0.8x-2.0x and median of 1.25x), but it has been rerated over the past threeyears to a 1.9x average. At the CMP, the stock is trading at a P/ABV multipleof 1.8x FY2013E ABV. Considering that interest rates have peaked and thecompany has healthy growth prospects, we recommend an Accumulaterating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀262.

Glass half fullIndia is going through a slowdown in investment cycle because of variouscyclical and structural issues - such as high interest rates, slowdown in consumerdemand, policy inaction and high inflationary pressures. We believe the environmentis gloomy and would remain the same for a few more quarters. Therefore, weare looking beyond the current slowdown and selecting companies that areexpected to excel and benefit from the next uptick in the investment cycle.We prefer companies that have a strong business model in place, experiencedmanagement at the helm of affairs, strong product portfolio and offer attractiverisk reward ratio.
Slowdown is here to be experienced…: The great Indian capex cycle, whichwitnessed a sharp increase in the past few years due to favorable policies,abundance liquidity and ever-burgeoning demand, has come to a standstill.A number of factors have led to this slowdown; these are structural (policyinaction and unavailability of resources like land and fuel) and cyclical (overcapacity,high interest rates, inflationary pressures and high commodity prices) in nature.Further, outbreak of scams and unfavorable government policies, such asenvironment clearance and uncertainty over tax regime, has also dented investor(domestic and international) confidence. Therefore, as expected, the numberof projects that have been stalled and cancelled has increased. Similarly,there has been an uptick in the number of shelved projects in recent times.Therefore, we believe there is some more pain left in the system (near term)as our economy grapples with these issues and given the world economy isalso in weak shape.
… But things to pick up going ahead: Notwithstanding, it should be notedthat there is a pertinent need of infrastructure in the country, which is acknowledgedby one and all - though it is difficult to gauge the timelines, given the numberof variables impacting it positively and negatively at any given point in time.Therefore, we believe the next upturn in the Indian capex cycle could be ledby infrastructure. Our analysis of potential ordering in various segments suggestsa healthy pipeline. Within the infrastructure segment, sectors such as power,metro rail, railways and defense, are likely to contribute more. We expectindustrial capex to subsequently increase, given its dependence on infrastructuregrowth. Sector wise, order pipeline from the cement sector looks weak, asthe sector grapples with an oversupply situation created during the boomtime. However, order pipeline from the steel segment looks strong. On thenon ferrous side, we expect a capex of >`60,000cr from three majors - Sterlite,Hindalco and Nalco - in the next five years.
Hence, we look beyond…: Based on an analysis of the above fundamentals,CRG (`134/`158/18%) and Jyoti (`50/`61/22%) are the top buys in ourcoverage universe. We continue to maintain our negative view on BHEL despitelow valuations, as we believe the company is facing structural issues.We maintainour Sell call on ABB (`727/`427/-41%) on account of expensive valuationsand Neutral on BGR, Thermax and KEC.

A numberof factors have led to this slowdown; these are structural (policyinaction and unavailability of resources like land and fuel) andcyclical (overcapacity, high interest rates, inflationary pressuresand high commodity prices) in nature. These factors have resultedin a slowdown in many capex projects. Further, outbreak ofscams and unfavorable government policies, such as environmentclearance and uncertainty over tax regime, has also dentedinvestor (domestic and international) confidence. Therefore, asexpected, the number of projects that have been stalled andcancelled has increased - for government and private alike. Thetotal project cost (TPC) of these projects increased to>`4 lakhcr in September 2011 (~41.0% yoy jump). Private sector (~47%yoy) projects have suffered more compared to government projects(~24.0% yoy). Similarly, there has been an uptick in the numberof shelved projects in recent times. Also, industrial productionactivity has been decelerating in the past year, which suggeststhat ordering for the capital goods sector could remain weakfor the next few quarters. Therefore, we believe there is somemore pain left in the system (near term) as our economy grappleswith these issues and given the world economy is also in doldrums.

We expect industrial capex to increase, given its dependenceon infrastructure growth. Sector wise, order pipeline from thecement sector looks weak, as the sector grapples with anoversupply situation created during the boom time. However,order pipeline from the steel segment looks strong. Major playerssuch as Tata Steel, JSW Steel, SAIL, POSCO, Arcelor Mittaland Vedanta have announced capacity addition plans totaling60mn tonnes, which are expected to be commissioned overthe next five years. On the non ferrous side, we expect a capexof >`60,000cr from three majors - Sterlite, Hindalco and Nalco- in the next five years.

Some activity on reforms - Attempt to resolve somestructural issuesThere have been some minor activities on the reform front inthe past six months, such as the new land reforms bill beingintroduced, some no-go areas being allowed for mining, newinfrastructure lending norms for setting up of debt funds, increasingconsensus on the likely imposition of import duties and higherpower tariffs by various SEBs.
Hence, we look beyond…We see a remote possibility of any near-term solution for theproblem in hand. However, we prefer to look beyond the currentslowdown and select companies that are expected to exceland benefit from the next uptick in the investment cycle. Theseinclude companies that have a strong business model in place,experienced management at the helm of affairs, strong productportfolio and offer attractive risk reward ratio.
Against this backdrop we prefer CRG (`134/`158/18%) andJyoti Structures(`50/`61/22%) as our top buys in our coverageuniverse. We continue to maintain our negative view on BHELdespite low valuations, as we believe the company is facingstructural issues.We maintain our Sell call on ABB (`727/`427/-41%) on account of expensive valuations and Neutral on BGR,Thermax and KEC.

Company BackgroundBHEL is the largest manufacturer of power equipment (boiler and turbinegenerators) in India with ~65% market share. The company operates in twosegments - power (80% of FY2011 revenues) and industry (20% of FY2011revenue). The company has 15 manufacturing facilities spread across thecountry with a combined manufacturing capacity of 15GW p.a. and is planningto reach 20GW p.a. by FY2012E. Sets produced by BHEL account for~62% of India's installed power capacity, which generate ~74% of India'spower. Notably, BHEL is the first domestic company to foray into the supercriticaltechnology.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: BHEL has strong revenue visibility for the next coupleof years owing to its robust order backlog of `1.6 lakh cr (3.8x FY2011revenue). However, there is uncertainty over the company's long-term growthprospects, considering the tough competition posed by international anddomestic players in recent times. In our view, even if BHEL manages to bagorders, against our expectations, they will come at a cost of its margins.
Nature of business: Technology-intensive, High RoE project business; Prospectsrely on the power sector.
Competitive position: Losing its dominant position in the power equipmentspace to domestic players (who have collaborated with foreign players) andinternational competitors.
Current Investment ArgumentsDeteriorating dynamics in the BTG space: Recent trends in biddings andprojects wins indicate that BHEL's leadership position is under threat, thushinting for a loss in its market share going ahead. Further, given the structuralissues faced by the power sector, times look tough for BTG players in thenear to medium term.
Concerns visible beyond 2013: While the current operating metrics appearsound (strong OB/Sales of 3.8x and 20% + EBITDA margin), we expectBHEL to face pressure going ahead. In our view, the company's growth andmargins are likely to trim mainly due to 1) deceleration of order inflow growth- from a 26.2% CAGR over FY2006-11 to negative growth over FY2011-14E; and 2) a 200-250bp margin dip from FY2013 due to higher importedcontent of supercritical equipment. Hence, we believe the company’s earningscould face severe strain in the times to come.
More underperformance likely: BHEL has underperformed the Sensex by26.9% (vindicating our negative stance on the stock) over the last twelvemonths and is trading at historically low one-year forward valuations of 10.2xFY2013, owing to 1) delay in big-ticket orders; 2) weak investment capexand 3) changing competitive dynamics in the BTG space. We believe theseconcerns are far from over and, hence, expect the stock to further underperformand maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

Company BackgroundBGR Energy Systems (BGR) is one of the leading players in the the Balanceof Plant (BoP) and EPC space of the power sector. The company has takenseveral big leaps over the years - from being a mere manufacturer of a fewBoP components to executing turnkey BoP projects and now gradually executingfull-fledged EPC contracts. In 2010, BGR ambitiously ventured into settingup a manufacturing facility of 4,000MW for supercritical boilers and turbinegenerators in a JV with Hitachi (76:24).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: BoP orders for most of the projects in the 12th planare yet to be placed (in contrast to BTG orders). As per industry estimates,~1,110 BoP packages (`1,40,000cr) are expected to get tendered duringthe 12th plan, thus providing adequate opportunities to the company.
Competitive position: BGR is a preferred player in the BoP segment, asthe company is one of the few players that have a strong expertise in BoPand EPC. The company is a new entrant in the BTG space and has wononly one order on the back of extremely competitive pricing (negative forthe company in context of operating margins).
Nature of business: Mainly a project business thriving on power BoP andEPC projects, which face moderate competition.
Current Investment ArgumentsGrowth to remain under pressure: Over the past 6-8 quarters, BGR hasbeen witnessing a dry spell on the order inflow front, barring the recentaggressively won NTPC bulk order and one large order in the EPC space.Therefore, the order inflow trend has been largely disappointing. Further,with persistent headwinds in the power sector, we do not expect any trendreversal in the near to medium term. Moreover, the recently bagged ordersare of high gestation period and would contribute majorly post FY2013.Hence, we do not expect a substantial pick up in revenue till FY2013 (11.7%decline in FY2012E and 7.6% growth in FY2013E), leading to earnings declineof 19.5% and 6.8% for FY2012E and FY2013E, respectively.
Investment commitments + Elongated working capital = Soaring debt:BGR's working capital has seen severe deterioration over the past few quarters(from 74 days in FY2010 to 225 days in 1HFY2012), mainly due to highreceivables (owing to the retention money from SEBs such as RRVUNLand TNEB, which are facing high financial strain). Amid issues impairing thepower sector, credit availability may harden for SEBs, as banks have alreadychosen to remain risk-averse. Hence, in our view, tight liquidity is likely totransmit negatively on BGR's books. Along with this, BTG venture is expectedto stretch its balance sheet - we expect the leverage to rise from 1.3x in1HFY2012 to 1.9x in FY2013.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at PE multiple of 6.8x FY2013EEPS, which we believe is reasonable amidst the structural issues (slowdownof order inflow in BTG space and high leverage) faced by the company.Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

Company BackgroundABB India (ABB) is the Indian subsidiary of Switzerland-based ABB Group,which is one of the world's leading power and automation engineering companies.The group provides solutions for energy-efficient generation, power transmissionand distribution (T&D) and process automation. The power-related segmentis the company's major revenue contributor, accounting for ~53% of itstotal CY2010 revenue, while 40% is contributed by the automation segment.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Improving ordering in the T&D segment and the HVDCproject will help support order inflow for the coming quarters. Also from along-term perspective, ABB has substantial growth avenues from the powersegment - PGCIL has envisaged T&D capex of `1lakh cr for the 12th plan,28% of which is expected to be deployed in sub-station segment. In contrast,the weak investment cycle prevailing across the industrial sector is likely torestrict order inflow for the automation segment.
Competitive position: ABB benefits from the strong pedigree of its parentgroup, enabling it to bring the world's latest technology into the country,such as flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and SCADA. However,in the past few years, power products segment, namely transformers, isfacing stiff competition from Chinese/Korean players, leading to a loss inthe company's market share.
Nature of business: Mix of products and projects; Moderate-to-high entrybarriers in case of high-end technological products.
Current Investment ArgumentsChanged dynamics lead to a loss in market share: After the exclusion ofthe circuit breaker in the scope of the substation contract in early FY2012,new entrants such as L&T, EMC, Crompton Greaves and Techno Electrichave rushed to capture this segment as - 1) separate scope of work hasmade it easier for general contractors to bid; and 2) general products andcivil works constitute a major portion of the sub-station contract. Especiallyin the 765kV segment, these new entrants have posed a tough competitionto traditional T&D majors such as ABB, Areva and Siemens (which togethercommanded 100% market share in FY2011) and have already captured~71% market share YTD FY2012. As a result, order intake from this segmentis likely to decline going ahead.
Unjustifiably rich valuations: In an environment where most capital goodsstocks (including some of ABB's closest peers) are trading at a significantdiscount to their historical average, ABB trades at premium valuations, despitecontinued earnings disappointments and deteriorating return ratios (~14%in CY2012E from 29% in CY2008). At the CMP, the stock trades at 40.9xits CY2012E P/E, which is highly expensive compared to its peers such asCrompton Greaves (11.0x its FY2013E P/E) and Areva T&D (21.8x its CY2012EP/E). We believe the market is factoring in a possible delisting that is keepingthe stock at elevated levels. But, we maintain Sell on the stock on valuationbasis with a target price of `̀̀̀̀427. (PE multiple of 24.0x CY2012E EPS)

Company BackgroundCrompton Greaves (CG), part of the US$4bn Avantha Group, is one of theleading players in the power T&D equipment business in India. The companyoperates across three segments - power systems (65% of FY2011 revenue),consumer products (20% of FY2011 revenue) and industrial systems (15%of FY2011 revenue). CG is a globally diversified company and derives ~50%of its revenue from international operations, led by a series of acquisitionsundertaken over FY2006-11. Europe and North America are the two biggestmarkets outside Asia and jointly account for ~29% of the company's revenue.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The power systems segment has been a key growthdriver for the company, on the back of the phenomenal growth opportunitiesin the Indian T&D sector, coupled with strategic overseas acquisitions byCG. But the company's growth has trickled to single-digit levels since FY2010,led by a deteriorating business environment in Europe and North America.The company's other segments - industry and consumer - are currently onthe back foot, owing to deceleration in investment capex and inflationarypressures. Hence, we believe currently CG is facing business headwinds,which are likely to keep its growth under check. Nonetheless, the upcomingopportunities in the domestic T&D space should help the company sail throughthe current slowdown - PGCIL has envisaged T&D capex of `1 lakh cr forthe 12th plan, 28% of which is expected to be deployed in the sub-stationsegment, thus providing a number of opportunities to CG.
Competitive position: CG is losing its market share in the domestic T&Dand industrial space to new players. However, the company has a strongfoothold in the consumer segment.
Nature of business: Diversified; More skewed towards the T&D space (domesticand international); Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsBusiness under stress: We believe CG's power and industrial segmentare facing several headwinds on the international and domestic businessfronts, as reflected in the pressure witnessed in its recent quarterly numbers,mainly due to increasing competitive pressures (taking a toll on profitability)and general slowdown faced by economies (impeding the revenue visibility).To put things in perspective, CG has a sizeable exposure in the currentlytroubled geographies of Europe (17% of FY2011 revenue) and North America(11.5% of FY2011 revenue). Likewise, CG's consumer segment, which hadexpanded admirably in the past is currently facing the brunt of inflationarypressures. Therefore, we believe CG's near-to-medium term performancewould be under pressure.
Valuations factoring most of the concerns: While CG is facing businessheadwinds, we expect an earnings recovery (50.2% in FY2013) on the backof low base. In addition, the latent potential in the company, decent returnratios (~18%) and current undemanding valuations of 11.0x PE FY2013(on our conservative estimates) makes CG attractive. We maintain Buy onthe stock with a target price of 158 (PE multiple of 13.0x FY2013E EPS).

Company BackgroundThermax provides a range of engineering solutions to the energy (78% ofFY2011 revenue) and environment (22% of the FY2011 revenue) sectors,aided through a combination of technology and strategic alliances. The companyoffers industrial boilers (small/medium-sized) and integrated solutions in theareas of heating, cooling, power, waste management, air pollution controlsand chemicals. After attaining a leadership position in the mid-size industrialboilers market, the company (through a JV with Babcock and Wilcox) hasforayed into supercritical boilers to reap the opportunities outlined in theIndian power sector.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The energy segment derives substantial orders fromeconomy-linked industrial sectors such as metal, cement, power, refinery,paper and pulp, sugar and food. We believe sector-related dynamics (currentlynegative) would continue to be a lead indicator for order inflow going ahead.
Competitive position: Leading player in the small and medium-size industrialboilers market. The company is one of the few companies in the world thatprovides total integrated solutions in the areas of heating, cooling, power,water and waste management, air pollution controls and chemicals.
Nature of business: Being sensitive to fluctuations in the industrial capex,the business is highly cyclical. Business generates superior return ratios(>25%) but has moderate entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsWeak outlook on industrial capex: Thermax trails its fortune towards industrialcapex, especially in sectors such as metals, cement and oil and gas, whichform its mainstream arena for offering products and solutions. However, thetough macro climate has paused additional investments in major industrialsectors, thereby halting new order disbursements. Hence, we expect subduedperformance on the order inflow front from Thermax, leading to a passivetop-line and earnings CAGR of 5.1% and 0.9%, respectively over FY2011-13E.
Slowdown in the power sector - A concern for the BTG venture: In FY2010,Thermax ventured into BTG equipment manufacturing through a JV with B&W(estimated TPC of `825cr) for manufacturing supercritical boilers, but it isyet to bag any orders for the same. Also, the company has witnessed competitivepressures as equipment ordering has been sedate due to various concerns.Further, management has refrained from entering into aggressive pricing forbagging orders. Therefore, visibility of returns on this investment is an overhangon the stock.
Strong fundamentals at reasonable valuations: We believe Thermax isone of the best plays for revival in industrial capex due to its strong businessfundamentals (negative working capital, negligible debt, healthy return ratios(~28-30%) and net cash balance of ~8.1% of the market cap). However,the stock has rallied >20% in the past fifteen days and is currently tradingat reasonable PE multiples of 15.2x FY2013E EPS, leaving limited upsideto our fair value. Hence, we recommend a Neutral rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundKEC International (KEC) is a flagship company of the RPG Group. The companyis a global player in the T&D space, present across 45 countries (~51% ofrevenue from international operations). The company acquired U.S.-basedSAE Tower Holdings LLC (SAE) in FY2011. KEC has also forayed into newbusiness verticals such as cable, telecom, railway and water resourcemanagement - though currently these businesses are at a nascent stage.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Globally the thumb rule entails that for every rupeeinvested in generation, an equivalent amount is to be invested in T&D; however,India has spent only 50%, thus creating a huge opportunity for players inthe T&D space. PGCIL has envisaged T&D capex of ~`1 lakh cr for the12th plan, 55% of which is estimated to be transmission and sub-stationcapex, thus providing a number of opportunities to the company, given itsstrong presence in the domestic T&D market. Moreover, KEC has strongrevenue visibility for the next couple of years, owing to its strong robustbacklog of `9,340cr (2.0x FY2011 revenue).
Competitive position: KEC is among the top three players in the domestictransmission EPC space.
Nature of business: Predominantly a contract business undertaking transmissionline and substation works for transmission utilities, domestically as well asglobally. The business entails a sparse technological aspect compared tothe equipment businesses (like BTG, transformers and circuit breakers),thus, making it a low entry-barrier business. Working capital requirementsare usually high on account of the high working capital days (81 days).
Current Investment ArgumentsDiversified play: KEC has diversified business operations, with equal exposureto domestic and international markets. The company has also ventured innew businesses of railway and water, which have fared well and order inflowshave started picking up. Against this backdrop, the company has performedwell on the order inflow front in the past few quarters - (`1,200 in 2QFY2012,`1,300cr in 1QFY2012; `1,300cr in 4QFY2011, `2,300 in 3QFY2011).Therefore, diversification has helped the company to insulate itself from theslowdown in any particular segment/geography.
SAE to aid positively: SAE's contribution to the company so far has beenextremely positive (constituting ~13% of the company's revenue with 13%+EBITDA margin and 20% of the company's order backlog). In addition, KECis poised to benefit by tapping opportunities offered by different geographies(Brazil and Mexico), where KEC was not present earlier.
Valuations: Amidst strong order wins in quick succession (`1,600cr) inpast few days, the stock has witnessed a substantial rally, gaining ~50%.At the CMP, the stock trades at reasonable valuations of 6.0x FY2013 PE.We believe the recent run-up in the stock price has factored in most of thepositives and further upside seems limited. Hence, we recommend Neutralon the stock.

Company BackgroundJyoti Structures Ltd. (JSL) is one of the leading EPC players in the transmissionline and substation segments, with business presence across transmissionline towers, substation and rural electrification. The company offers a widerange of services in design, engineering, tower testing, manufacturing,construction and project management. In addition to its strong domesticpresence, JSL is also exploring T&D capex opportunities on the global frontthrough recent overseas JVs and investments (Jyoti America and Gulf Jyoti).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Globally the thumb rule entails that for every rupeeinvested in generation, an equivalent amount is to be invested in T&D; however,India has spent only 50%, thus creating a huge opportunity for players inthe T&D space. PGCIL has envisaged T&D capex of `1 lakh cr for the 12thplan, 55% of which is expected to be deployed in transmission and sub-station projects, thus providing an array of opportunities to JSL, given itsstrong foothold in the T&D segment.
Competitive position: JSL is among the top three players in the transmissionEPC space in the country.
Nature of business: Predominantly a contract business, undertaking transmissionline and substation works for PGCIL and SEBs. The business entails asparse technological aspect compared to the equipment businesses (likeBTG, transformers, and circuit breakers) - thus, low entry barriers (new playersentering the transmission EPC space are on the rise). In addition, the businessis subject to high working capital requirements (118 days as of 1HFY2012).
Current Investment ArgumentsExpect stable order inflows: Despite seasonal weakness in the T&D segment,JSL's performance has been fairly decent (bagged orders worth `1,200crin 1HFY2012 against reported revenue of `1,270cr). Further, ordering hasgathered steam, especially from PGCIL, which has tendered orders worth`7,400cr in 3QFY2012. As per the announcements, JSL has pocketed ordersworth ~`400cr in 3QFY2012, indicating its consistency in securing orders.We expect ordering to further strengthen in 4QFY2012 (seasonally the strongestquarter), factoring in orders worth ~`1,500cr for 2HFY2012 for JSL, registering28.5% growth over 1HFY2012.
Diversification to gradually materialize: JSL has been actively tappingthe overseas markets by entering into JVs in South Africa and the Gulf. Inaddition, the company recently forayed into the U.S. by setting up a transmissiontower plant (revenue potential of ~`340cr annually - @100% capacity utilization).We believe these ventures will benefit the company in the long run, therebyinsulating it from domestic headwinds.
Valuation: The stock has underperformed the BSE Sensex by ~17% overthe past three months. At the CMP of ̀ 50, the stock is trading at undemandingvaluations (PE 4.1x and PBV 0.5x on FY2013E) with limited downside. Hence,we maintain Buy on the stock with a Target Price of `̀̀̀̀61 by assigningPE multiple of 5.0x to its FY2013E EPS.

Valuations ahead of the cycleAll-India capacity utilization to remain low: All-India cement capacity stoodat ~288mtpa in FY2011. During the past four years, cement capacity haswitnessed a 12.6% CAGR, which was almost double the growth rate in cementdemand (6.9% CAGR). As a result, industry utilization levels declined fromthe highs of FY2007 (90.6%) to 73.3% in FY2011. However, going ahead,we expect the pace of capacity addition to moderate, with only 31mtpa ofcapacity to come on stream over FY2012-13 (5.3% CAGR). But the biggerconcern for the sector now is demand slowdown. Over FY2001-10, cementdemand grew by 1x India's GDP growth rate. But, all-India cement demand,after being mediocre at 4.5% in FY2011, is expected to remain muted at 5%during FY2012 vs. GDP growth of 8.5% and 7% in FY2011 and FY2012E,respectively. Even after factoring 8% demand growth rate for FY2013E, industrycapacity utilization for the year is expected to be only 75.0% (although higherthan 73.3% and 72.0% in FY2011 and FY2012E, respectively).
State-wise demand-supply dynamics: About 90% of India's total limestonereserves are concentrated in nine states, mainly Andhra Pradesh (AP), Karnataka,Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh (MP). In the long run, naturally a largepart of cement capacity will also be located in these states. But as far as thescenario for the next several years is concerned, due to the abundant availabilityof limestone, even in case of the other states with balance 10% of India's limestonereserves, those reserves itself are more than adequate to meet nearby cementdemand for several decades. This negates the need for relying on the clusteredcapacities in few of the cement hubs like AP and Rajasthan and has led toconcentration of excess supply in these states.
We expect capacities in these states, especially in AP and Rajasthan, to face prolongedutilization pressures, as they do not have any major supply-deficit region nearby tosupply their excess, without sacrificing on margins to the extent of substantial freightcost differential. On the other hand, companies with capacities in potentially favorablestates (i.e., states where either there is a supply deficit or surplus that can be moreeconomically supplied to nearby deficit states) are better placed. Amongst our coverageuniverse, Ambuja Cements has the highest capacity in such favorable states(81% of its total capacity) followed by ACC and UltraTech (51% and 42% of totalcapacities, respectively).
Outlook and valuation: In our view, the cement sector's valuations in terms ofEV/sales and EV/tonne are ahead of the cycle when compared to utilization levelsand are almost 23% more expensive than historical valuations during periods ofsimilar utilization levels. But, despite low capacity utilization, cement companieshave managed to maintain relatively healthy pricing due to production disciplineadopted by them, which has led to high valuations currently. However, in our view,this is a thin investment thesis to rely on, as there exists persistent risk of breakdownin the production discipline. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the sector.Though, Ambuja Cements has the most favorable locational presence, it is tradingat rich valuations and therefore, we maintain our Neutral recommendation on thestock. Among other large caps, we prefer ACC over UltraTech on a relative basisconsidering its better locational presence. But, we have a Neutral view on thestock, as we expect limited absolute upside. While valuations are cheap for IndiaCements, Madras Cements and Shree Cement, we have a Neutral view on themdue to their unfavorable locational presence, especially for south-based players.That said, we maintain our Buy recommendation on JK Lakshmi Cement due to itsattractive valuations, as it is trading at EV/tonne of US$35 on current capacity.

All-India capacity utilization to remain low: All-India cementcapacity stood at ~288mtpa in FY2011. During the past fouryears, the Indian cement industry witnessed ambitious capacityaddition of ~109mtpa at a CAGR of 12.6%, on the back ofhigh capacity utilization (86.4% in FY2006 and 90.4% in FY2007)and comparatively low per capita cement consumption in India(which prevails even now). However, demand grew at a modestpace of 6.9% over the same period, forcing industry utilizationlevels to decline continuously from the highs of FY2007 to73.3% in FY2011.
Going forward, we estimate another 31mtpa of capacity to comeon stream during FY2012-13 at a CAGR of 5.3%. Of this, ~20mtpacapacity is expected to be added in FY2012 and ~11mtpa inFY2013. YTD 11mtpa of capacity has been added in FY2012,which includes ACC (3mtpa in Maharashtra), Ambuja Cements(1.1mtpa in Chhattisgarh and 0.9mtpa in Maharashtra),JP Associates (1mtpa in UP) and KCP (1.5mtpa in AP).
However, the bigger concern for the sector now is demandslowdown. Over FY2001-10, cement demand grew by 1x India'sGDP growth rate. However, all-India cement demand, after beingmediocre at 4.5% in FY2011, is expected to remain muted at5% during FY2012 vs. GDP growth of 8.5% and 7% in FY2011and FY2012E, respectively. Even after factoring in 8% demandgrowth rate for FY2013E, industry capacity utilization for theyear is expected to be only 75.0% (although higher than 73.3%and 72.0% in FY2011 and FY2012E, respectively).
Further, it should be noted that we have not taken into considerationthe capacities of cement players such as Bharathi Cement,JSPL, Murli Agro, Vicat-Sagar, JSW Cement, ABG Cement andfew others who are not members of the CMA (combined FY2013capacity estimated to be 29.2mtpa).

Category I: Indigenous supply-deficit states
These are states where their own cement demand is more than cement capacities located within the states. Logically, capacitiesthat operate in such states would be expected to witness the highest capacity utilization at highest margins (due to relativelylower freight cost). Indigenous supply deficit in these states is expected to be met by excess capacities of nearby states, thoughat a relatively lower margin than the indigenous capacities (on account of freight cost differential).
State-wise demand-supply dynamics
Around 90% of India's total limestone reserves are concentratedin nine states - AP, Karnataka, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Meghalaya,Himachal Pradesh (HP), Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), MP andChhattisgarh. In the long run, when reserves of the other remainingstates (balance 10%) would deplete, major capacities wouldcome up in these reserve-rich states. Despite such major capacityadditions, the number of years of these reserves (based oncurrent capacity) would still stretch into thousands because ofthe abundant availability of limestone in these reserve-rich ninestates.
However, as far as the scenario for the next several years isconcerned, due to the abundant availability of limestone, evenin case of the other states with balance 10% of India's limestonereserves, those reserves itself are adequate to meet the internalcement demand within those states and even of the neighboringstates that have negligible limestone reserves for several decades.So, except for few states with nil/minimal limestone reserves,most Indian states have abundant limestone reserves and,consequentially, enough cement capacities have come up inall these states, negating the need for relying on the clusteredcapacities in few of the cement hubs like AP and Rajasthan.However, limestone concentration in the earlier-mentioned ninestates has led to huge capacity clusters coming up overthere (68% of India's total cement capacity in FY2011), whichhas led to concentration of most of the all-India excess supplyin these states.
We expect capacities in these states, especially in AP andRajasthan, to face prolonged utilization pressures as they donot have any major supply-scarce region nearby to supply theirexcess. With cement being a low-value commodity, even fewhundred kilometers of distance can add meaningfully to theper tonne freight cost, which would eat away into the marginsof those players with capacities located in these clusters.
To arrive at player-wise locational advantage based on thesestate-wise cement demand-supply dynamics, we have dividedthe states into four categories as follows:
I) States where the state's own cement demand is more thancement capacities located within the state i.e., indigenoussupply-deficit states
II) States where although own cement demand is less than cementcapacities located within the state, but there are indigenous supply-deficit states nearby where the entire excess can be supplied
III) States where own cement capacities exceed own demandas well as that of nearby supply-deficit states, but thestate's excess capacity as a percentage of its total capacity isless than 25%
IV) States where own cement capacities exceed own demandas well as that of nearby supply-deficit states, but the state'sexcess capacity as a percentage of its total capacity is morethan 25%.
January 2012 Please refer to important disclosures at the end of this report140
Capacities in these states are also expected to report relativelyhealthy capacity utilization, though at notch lower margins, sincesupply of excess capacities to nearby states would be at freightcost disadvantage compared to indigenous capacities over there.State wise, capacities of Himachal Pradesh can theoreticallypark their entire surplus (after catering to own demand) to nearbysupply-deficit states of J&K, Haryana and Punjab. Capacitiesof Gujarat are expected to supply their surplus toWestern Maharashtra more economically.
In FY2009, Odisha and Uttarakhand were cement-scarce states,but they have become supply surplus in FY2011 on account ofcapacity addition of 3.8mtpa and 3.0mtpa, respectively, duringFY2010-11. During FY2012-13E, we expect no capacity additionsin these states. Companies that are expected to benefit byhaving substantial (more than 25% of their total) capacitiesin these states in FY2013E are OCL India, Lafarge, GujaratSidhee Cement, Saurashtra Cement, Century Ply boards,Ambuja Cements (40%) and ACC (28%).

Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh (UP) are two of the major stateswithin this category. Looking at Maharashtra's dynamics, thestate has most of its internal capacities located on its easternside, which can supply their entire production to meet the state'sown demand emanating from its central and eastern regions(to the east of the Western Ghats). The supply-deficit southernand western parts of the state can be catered most economicallyby Karnataka and Gujarat, respectively, rather than AP. Similarly,in case of UP, the state's supply deficit can logically be metmostly by surplus capacities of MP, as MP's capacity cluster iscloser to most parts of UP, leading to relatively minimal demandleft to be catered by Rajasthan.
Companies that either have capacity or are coming up withnew capacities in these states are expected to be benefittedthe most. Over FY2012-13E, major capacity additions expectedin these states are Century Ply-boards (3.2mtpa comprising1.6mtpa each in Bihar and Assam), ACC (3mtpa in Maharashtra),Heidelberg (1.9mtpa in UP) and Century Textiles (1.8mtpa inMaharashtra). Companies that are expected to have substantial(more than 25% of their total) capacities in these states byFY2013E are Century Plyboards, Heidelberg Cement, AmbujaCements (41%), Century Textile, Birla Corp. and UltraTech(26%).

During FY2009-13E, the pace of capacity addition in thesestates is expected to be much higher than the growth in indigenousas well as nearby states demand, which is expected to resultin higher theoretical net surplus (i.e., surplus after catering todemand of its own and nearby supply-deficit states) for thesestates. State wise, in FY2009, Karnataka had no net surplus(after meeting its own demand and that of nearby supply-deficitstates of Goa, Southern Maharashtra and Northern Kerala, whichit could cater to most economically). Over FY2009-13E, weexpect capacity addition of 10.9mtpa at a CAGR of 15.0% vs.state's demand CAGR of 3.5% to result in net surplus for thestate. Also, we expect net surplus of TN and MP to increase
significantly in FY2013E from FY2009 levels. Excess capacitiesof these states also have the option to cater to supply deficitsin states farther away, but after sacrificing on margins.
Major capacities that are coming up in these states overFY2012-13E include JP Associates’ 3mtpa capacity in Karnatakaand Madras Cements’ 2mtpa capacity in TN. Companies thatare expected to have substantial (more than 25% of theirtotal) capacities in these states in FY2013E are ChettinadCement, Prism Cement, Kesoram Industries, Dalmia Cement,Madras Cements (68%), Century Textile, ACC (39%), JKCement, India Cements (38%) and JP Associates.

Even in FY2009, these states had high net surplus as a percentageto total capacity, which is expected to further increase in FY2013Eon account of a) 34.6mtpa of expected capacity addition inthese states at a CAGR of 9% during FY2010-13E; b) expecteddecline in demand in AP particularly; and c) expected reductionin surplus demand of nearby states, particularly for Chhattisgarh.State wise, we expect capacities of Rajasthan to park some oftheir excess to nearby supply-deficit states of Haryana, Punjab,UP, Chandigarh and NCR. Similarly, excess capacities ofChhattisgarh would be in a position to supply some of theirsurplus to West Bengal and Assam. But the state with the highestcapacity, AP is expected to have the highest net surplus, as it
is surrounded by cement-surplus states on all sides (Karnatakaand TN in south; and Chhattisgarh and Odisha in north) andeven supply-deficit states nearby such as Maharashtra can bemore economically catered by other states, as explained earlier.
Amongst our coverage, companies that are expected to havethe highest exposure to these states (i.e., capacity in thesestates as a percentage to its total capacity) in FY2013Ewould be Shree Cement (87%), followed by JK LakshmiCement(79%), India Cements (55%), UltraTech (37%) andMadras Cements (25%).

Based on this analysis of India's cement capacity clusters and state-wise demand supply dynamics, we have assigned a weightedaverage score to cement players based on their capacity locations in various categories at the end of FY2013E. Amongst ourcoverage universe, Ambuja Cements is expected to emerge as the company having the most favorable locational presence andShree Cement and India Cements having the worst.
This analysis is not to indicate that plants in category I II and IV states would not actually sell anything out of the implied netsurplus. Rather, in our view, it indicates that margins of the plants in these states would be most at risk, due to the freight costdisadvantage i.e. sales of the implied net surplus would involve a tradeoff with margins.

Outlook and valuation: Our concern on the cement sectorstems from low capacity utilization, which is due to poor demandgrowth and excess capacity. In our view, the cement sector'svaluations in terms of EV/sales and EV/tonne are trading aheadof the cycle when compared to utilization levels and are almost23% more expensive than historical valuations during periodsof similar utilization levels. But, despite low capacity utilization,cement companies have managed to maintain relatively healthypricing due to production discipline adopted by them, whichhas led to high valuations currently. However, in our view, thisis a thin investment thesis to rely on, as there exists persistentrisk of breakdown in the production discipline. Hence, we maintainour Neutral view on the sector.
Though Ambuja Cements has the most favorable locationalpresence, it is trading at rich valuations and, hence, we maintainour Neutral recommendation on the stock. Among otherlarge caps, we prefer ACC over UltraTech on a relative basisconsidering its better locational presence. But, we have aNeutral view on the stock, as we expect limited absoluteupside. While valuations are cheap for India Cements, Madras

Company BackgroundUltraTech (UTCEM) became India's largest cement player on a standalonebasis, with total capacity of 48.8mtpa, post the merger of Samruddhi (erstwhilecement division of Grasim) with itself in 2010. UTCEM also acquired a controllingstake in Dubai-based ETA Star (cement capacities of 3mtpa in the MiddleEast and Bangladesh) in 2010, which took its consolidated total capacityto 51.8mtpa. UTCEM is a pan-India player, with 22 cement plants spreadacross the country. Of its total capacity, the southern, western and northernregions constitute the maximum share (26%, 26% and 23%, respectively),as against 14% by the eastern and northeastern region and 11% by thecentral region.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The Indian cement industry is expected to witness7-8% growth in the medium term, given the low per capita cementconsumption levels in India currently as compared to other countries (India's176kg vs. China's 1,210kg and world average of 433kg, as per industryestimates) and past experiences of cement growth in other countries duringsimilar growth phases as India's. However, significant capacity addition duringthe past four years (~109mtpa, 12.6% CAGR) vs. modest demand growth(6.9% CAGR) has resulted in a decline in utilization levels from 90.4% inFY2007 to 73.3% in FY2011.
Competitive position: Being a pan-India player, UTCEM is relatively insulatedfrom the risks of demand slowdown and price correction in any particularregion.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsIncreased use of captive power to protect margins: Currently, UTCEMhas 504MW of captive power capacity, which the company is planning toexpand by 70MW. Increased use of captive power for its overall powerrequirements would aid the company’s operating margins.
Relatively unfavorable capacity location among cement majors: About42% of UTCEM's total capacity is expected to achieve relatively higher capacityutilization, as it is located in states with favorable demand supply dynamics.However, its balance 58% capacity, which is located in AP, Rajasthan,Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, TN and MP, is expected to operate at relativelylower utilization and margins, as all these states have overcapacities afterfulfilling their own cement demand and surplus demand of nearby states.
Capacity expansion in favorable states: Over the next three years, UTCEMhas planned to set-up brownfield clinkerization plants at Chhattisgarh (4.8mtpa)and Karnataka (4.4mtpa) and split grinding units at various locations. Thiscapacity expansion is expected to aid its growth in the next up cycle.
Current valuation: The stock is trading at relative expensive valuation ofEV/tonne of US$145 on current capacity (US$123 on FY2013E capacity). Hence,we remain Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundIn 2005, ACC was acquired by the world's second largest cement company,Holcim. Currently, Holcim Group in India (ACC and Ambuja Cements takentogether) has the largest cement capacity in the country (57mtpa). ACChas a standalone total capacity of 30mtpa, with 16 cement plants spreadacross the country. Similar to UltraTech, the company is also a pan-Indiaplayer but with a southern inclination (36% of its total capacity is in southas against 22% in north, 22% in east and northeast, 17% in central and 4%in west).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Considering the low per capita cement consumptionlevels in India currently as compared to other countries (India's 176kg vs.China's 1,210kg and world average of 433kg, as per industry estimates)and past experiences of cement growth in other countries during similargrowth phases as India's, we expect the Indian cement industry to witness7-8% growth in the medium term. However, significant capacity additionduring the past four years (~109mtpa, 12.6% CAGR) vs. modest demandgrowth (6.9% CAGR) has resulted in a decline in utilization levels from 90.4%in FY2007 to 73.3% in FY2011.
Competitive position: ACC is a pan-India player and, hence, is relativelyinsulated from the risks of demand slowdown and price correction in anyparticular region.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsFavorable capacity location to augur well for the company: Around 51%of ACC's total capacity is located in states where either cement supply isless than cement demand; or if it is more, excess can economically be suppliedto nearby supply-deficit states and, hence, all such capacities can rationallyachieve relatively higher capacity utilization. Even its entire south India plantcapacity is at Karnataka and TN, where demand-supply dynamics are farbetter than those seen in AP.
Growth to be driven by capacity addition: Post the expansion of Wadiplant and the commissioning of the 3mtpa Chanda plant, ACC's total capacitycurrently stands at 30mtpa. The company's capacity has increased by ~7mtpasince CY2008-end. These capacity additions are expected to drive its growthgoing ahead, as was reflected by the 11.4% yoy increase in its dispatchesduring CY2011.
Higher fuel availability for CPPs - Lower power and fuel costs: Powerand fuel costs are expected to be lower for the company, as it currently has87% self sufficiency in power with 361MW of captive power plant (CPP),access to highest coal linkage in the industry and few captive coal blocks.
Current valuation: The stock is trading at EV/tonne of US$128 on currentcapacity (US$112 on FY2013E capacity), which in our view is fair. Hence,we continue to remain Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundSwiss cement major, Holcim acquired a controlling stake in Ambuja Cements(ACEM) in 2005. In India, Holcim Group currently controls one-fifth of thetotal cement capacity through ACEM and ACC. On standalone basis, ACEMis the third largest cement player in India with total capacity of 27mtpa. Thecompany majorly focuses on northern and western India, with no plants insouthern India. Of its current total capacity, 40% capacity is in the western,38% in northern, 16% in eastern and northeastern and 6% in central region.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Considering the low per capita cement consumptionlevels in India currently as compared to other countries (India's 176kg vs.China's 1,210kg and world average of 433kg, as per industry estimates)and past experiences of cement growth in other countries during similargrowth phases as India's, we expect the Indian cement industry to witness7-8% growth in the medium term. Over FY2012-13E, regions where thecompany has a major presence, northern and western India are expected towitness healthy demand, at a CAGR of 8.0% and 6.7%, respectively, withminimal capacity addition at a CAGR of 5.0% and 2.0%, respectively, whichis expected to improve utilization for the region as well as for the company.
Competitive position: ACEM is present all over India except south, whichis facing a supply glut and, hence, the company is best positioned amongstcement majors to sustain higher utilizations and margins.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsMost favorable capacity location among cement majors: ACEM has 81%of its total capacity located in states where supply either is less than demandor is in excess and can be economically sold to nearby supply-deficit states.Logically capacities in these states are expected to report relatively higherutilization and margins.
Capacity addition to lead to volume growth: During the past two years,Ambuja has added ~5mtpa of grinding capacities at various locations toreach its current overall capacity of 27mtpa. Going ahead, we expect thesecapacity expansions undertaken by the company to drive its volume growth.
New clinker capacities/CPPs to aid margin expansion: Stabilization ofproduction at the company's new clinker plants with capacity of 2.2mtpaeach at Bhatapara and Rauri has resulted in elimination of externalhigh-cost clinker purchase. The company is also expected to record savingsin energy cost, following the commissioning of 66MW of new captive powercapacities in CY2010, which has taken its overall captive power capacitybeyond 400MW.
Current valuation: The stock is trading at rich valuations of EV/tonne ofUS$166 on current capacity (US$148 on FY2013E capacity), which webelieve factors in the positives such as favorable locational presence. Hence,we continue to remain Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundShree Cements (SRCM) is the leading cement company in North India, withcurrent total capacity of 13.5mtpa spread across Rajasthan (11.7mtpa) andUttarakhand (1.8mtpa). The company has ambitiously grown its cement capacityby five times in the past six years. In FY2011 alone, the company added3.3mtpa of cement capacity and 1mtpa of clinker capacity. Also, SRCM hasventured into the power generation business and is expected to have 560MWof capacity by FY2012-end post the commissioning of the new 300MWcapacity.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: North India, the company's major market, expects capacityaddition at a CAGR of only 2.0% over FY2012-13E, as against modestexpected growth in demand, at a CAGR of 6.7%, which is expected to slightlyimprove utilizations for the capacities operating in the region.
Competitive position: SRCM currently controls 19% of the total capacityin north India and faces tough competition from 14 odd players.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsOne of the lowest-cost cement producers: SRCM is one of thelowest-cost cement producers in north India, primarily because of its captivepower plant and lesser power consumption per tonne of cement (one of thelowest in the industry due to higher proportion of PPC (~80%) in overallsales volumes) and lower freight cost as its grinding units are close to demandcenters.
Growth to be driven by capacity addition: SRCM has recently added 3.3mtpaof cement capacity by commissioning new grinding plants and byde-bottlenecking. The company is also expected to commission new merchantpower capacity of 300MW in 3QFY2012E. We expect these capacity additionsto drive its revenue growth going ahead.
Having the most unfavorable plant locations amongst our coveragecompanies: SRCM has 87% of its total capacity located in Rajasthan, whichis expected to face prolonged utilizations and margin pressures, asstate-wise it is India's second biggest capacity cluster (44.8mtpa of totalcapacity in FY2011) and has huge demand supply gap even after cateringto surplus demand of nearby states (Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, NCRand UP), in addition to its own demand. The balance 13% capacity is inUttarakhand, where demand supply dynamics are much better than Rajasthan'sand, hence, capacities in the state are expected to witness relativelyhigher utilizations.
Current valuation: SRCM's cement business is trading at EV/tonne of US$85on current capacity (US$57 on FY2013E capacity), which, when consideringits unfavorable plant locations, in our view offers inadequate margin of safety.Hence, we maintain our Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Company BackgroundIndia Cements (ICEM) is the largest cement company in south India, with acapacity of 13mtpa spread across four plants each in TN and AP. The companyalso has a plant at Parli in Maharashtra (1.1mtpa). It has recently commissioneda plant of 1.5mtpa capacity at Banswara in Rajasthan through its subsidiary,Trinetra Cement, thereby taking its consolidated capacity to 15.6mtpa. Thecompany also bought franchise rights of IPL team, Chennai Super Kings,for 10 years in 2008 for US$91mn.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: South India, the company's major market, is expectedto witness capacity addition of 13.5mtpa during FY2012-13E, which willadd to its existing overcapacity woes, amidst minimal demand growth. Hence,the region is expected to remain a laggard with capacity utilization likely tobe 64% in FY2013E.
Competitive position: Despite being the leading player in south, ICEM controlsonly 12.4% of the region's current total capacity of 104.7mtpa, which isdistributed among 21 odd players.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsWorst plant locations amongst our coverage: About 93% of the company'sconsolidated total capacity is located in TN, AP and Rajasthan. As per ourestimates, for FY2013E, capacity situation in TN is expected to be slightlybetter than the other two, as a large part of its excess of 18.1mt can besupplied to Kerala (where the total deficit is expected to be 8.6mt). However,AP is expected to have India's highest indigenous demand supply gap (42mt)and no nearby supply deficit-state to sell its excess more economically thanother states. Further, Rajasthan's net demand supply gap is expected to behuge at 16.4mt even after factoring in supplies of 16.6mt to nearby supply-deficit states (Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, NCR and UP). Capacities inall these states are expected to witness prolonged utilization and marginpressures.
Large capex burden: As of FY2011, ICEM had invested `1,040cr (17.5%of gross block) in CWIP, which is not expected to result in creation of anyadditional cement capacities in the near future as the amount has beenutilized by the company in acquiring limestone-bearing lands and railwaysidings (as per management's guidance) and hence, the company's returnratios for the next few years are expected to remain subdued.
Key valuation parameter: Though the stock is trading at low valuations ofEV/tonne of US$60 on current capacity (US$51 on FY2013E capacity), webelieve this is justified considering the company's unfavorable locationalpresence. Hence, we maintain our Neutral recommendation on the stock.

Company BackgroundMadras Cements (MC) is one of the largest cement players in southernIndia, with a capacity of 11.5mtpa spread across five locations in TN (total7.5mtpa); one in AP (3.7mtpa); and one in Karnataka (0.3mtpa). Apart fromthis, the company also has a plant at Kolaghat in West Bengal (1mtpa).Madras Cements is in the process of setting up another 2mtpa unit at itsAriyalur plant, thereby taking its total TN capacity to 9.5mtpa and all Indiacapacity to 14.5mtpa. The company also has wind power generation capacityof ~159MW.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: South India, the company's major market, is expectedto witness a capacity addition of 13.5mtpa during FY2012-13E, which willadd to its existing overcapacity woes, amidst minimal demand growth. Hence,the region is expected to remain a laggard with capacity utilization likely tobe 64% in FY2013E.
Competitive position: MC controls only 11% of the current total capacityin the south (104.7mtpa) and faces stiff competition from 21 odd players.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsNew captive power plants (CPPs) to reduce power costs: MC has recentlycommissioned 40MW of CPP and is expected to add another 45MW ofCPPs, thereby taking its total CPP capacity to ~157MW. Going ahead, weexpect the CPPs to considerably reduce power costs for the company.
Capacity addition to drive volume growth: MC is in the process of expandingits Ariyalur plant capacity by 2mtpa. Also, in the past two years, the companyhas added ~2.5mtpa of capacities at various locations to reach its currentoverall capacity of 12.5mtpa. We expect capacity expansions undertakenby the company to propel its volume growth going ahead.
Unfavorable plant locations: Around 93% of company's total capacity isin TN (68%) and AP (25%). As per our estimates, in FY2013E, AP is expectedto have India's highest indigenous demand supply gap (42mt) and no nearbysupply-deficit state, where it can supply more economically than other states.However, capacity situation in TN is slightly better, with the expected demandsupply gap of 18.1mt and a nearby supply-deficit state of Kerala (total deficitexpected to be 8.6mt), where it can supply a large part of its excess moreeconomically than Karnataka. Capacities in both these states are expectedto register extended low capacity utilization and margins.
Current valuation: It is trading at moderate valuations of EV/tonne ofUS$72 on current capacity of 12.5mtpa (US$45 on FY2013E capacity). However,considering its unfavorable locational presence and risk of margin pressure(if ongoing production discipline in southern India breaks down), we remainNeutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundJK Lakshmi Cement (JKLC) is a mid-size cement company with current totalcapacity of 4.75mtpa spread across Rajasthan (4.2mtpa) and Gujarat (0.5mtpa).The company is looking forward to increase its total capacity to 5.3mtpa, bycommissioning a 0.55mtpa split grinding unit at Jhajjar inHaryana by March 2012. The company also has plans to set up a 2.7mtpagreen field plant at Durg in Chhattisgarh by March 2013, taking its totalcapacity to 8.0mtpa.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: JKLC's major market is north India, which expects capacityaddition at a CAGR of only 2.0% over FY2012-13E, as against modestexpected growth in demand, at a CAGR of 6.7%, which is expected to slightlyimprove utilizations for the capacities operating in the region.
Competitive position: The company controls only 7% of the total capacityof Rajasthan and Gujarat (69.5mtpa as of FY2011) and faces tough competitionfrom some 15 odd players in these states.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsRising captive power usage to improve profitability: JKLC has a powerpurchase tie-up with VS Lignite for 21MW power for the next 20 years at`3.2/unit (closer to its captive power cost) in addition to its current totalcaptive power capacity of 66MW, which has been expanded recently by30MW. Thus, effectively the company has access to 87MW of cheaper power,which is more than sufficient for its current capacity.
Strong balance sheet: As of September 2011, JKLC's debt stood at ̀ 997cr,of which `94cr was on account of deferred sales tax (interest free). Thecompany's cash and investments stand at `550cr. Thus, JKLC's balancesheet is well placed, with net debt/equity at 0.33x, which will help thecompany to leverage, if required, for its current (Durg plant) as well as futureexpansion plans.
Unfavorable plant locations to affect profitability: JKLC has 79% of itstotal capacities in Rajasthan, which is state-wise India's second biggestcapacity cluster with 44.8mtpa of total capacity in FY2011. Capacities inRajasthan face huge demand-supply gap even after catering to surplus demandof nearby supply-deficit states (Haryana, Punjab, NCR, Chandigarh and UP),apart from meeting its own demand.
Current valuation: JKLC is trading at cheap valuations in terms of replacementcost (EV/tonne of US$35 on current capacity and US$23 on FY2013Ecapacity), even after considering its presence in unfavourable locations. Hence,we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a target priceof `̀̀̀̀51.

Positives priced inFMCG Index has outperformed the broader markets by 31% in the past oneyear, with industry stalwarts HUL and ITC leading the outperformance by 31%and 17%, respectively. Most stocks touched their all-time highs during thepast year on the back of steady top-line growth and earnings growth. Also,with a hoard of uncertainties surmounting the local as well as global economies,the defensive nature of the stocks played out well towards their outperformance.
Low consumption – Key to growth: Consumption in many categories withhigh growth rates is still very low in urban India (like penetration of deodorantsat ~6%, skin creams at ~30% and noodles at ~21%). In rural India, penetrationof these products is even lower. With rising income levels and changing consumerbehavior in the country, consumer spending on branded FMCG products isset to rise. Also, growth in modern retail (currently contributing ~6% to FMCGsales) offers scope for further growth.
Premium product offerings – A trump card for growth: FMCG companiessee a vast scope for premium products in light of changing consumer lifestyles,urbanization, higher disposable income and increasing awareness. Most FMCGcompanies have introduced premium products, which come with health andwellness benefits and cater to specific needs of consumers. We believe companieswill be able to garner higher margins and profitability in the long run, as acceptabilityto such products gains traction.
Distribution strength and expansion to drive growth: Most FMCG companiesin the past few years have been ramping up their distribution to reach thelarge untapped domestic population. HUL has a direct reach to almost 1.5mnoutlets and indirect reach to 6.5mn outlets. Marico and Godrej indirectly reachto ~3mn outlets, while Nestle and Colgate have a reach to more than 4mnoutlets. Nestle and Asian Paints are in the process of expanding their capacitiesto cater to the growing demand for their products.
Companies looking for growth opportunities outside India: Intense competitionin categories such as soaps and detergents, personal care and other homecareproducts has motivated many FMCG companies to scout for growth opportunitiesoverseas. Dabur, GCPL Marico and TGBL have been very aggressive in theirexpansion plans overseas. These companies are present in various developingcountries in the Latin American, Southeast Asian and MENA regions. Thoughthere are advantages of overseas expansion, companies are also subject tovarious risks such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability,and execution and integration risks.
Outlook and valuation: FMCG Index has outperformed the broader marketsby 31% in the past one year, with industry stalwarts HUL and ITC leading theoutperformance by 31% and 17%, respectively. Our FMCG universe is tradingat 25x FY2013E earnings against its historical median of 23x (upper end ofthe range 19-26x). In terms of valuations, the sector is trading at ~80% premiumto Sensex P/E, against its historical premium of ~50%. Though we remainpositive on the long-term domestic consumption story, we believe all the above-mentioned positives are already factored in and, hence, we maintain our Neutralstance on the sector. Further, we believe as valuations for companies in thesector are at their highs, any further upside would be a function of a positivesurprise in a company's earnings growth. That said, we remain positive onselect companies that offer products where penetration level is low and atthe same time profitability is high – such as Dabur, Britannia and TGBL.

The Indian FMCG industry in FY2010 stood at `1,30,000cr,contributing 2.2% to the country's GDP. In the past five years,the industry has grown at ~2x the country's GDP. Accordingto a report by Booz & Company, the industry is expected toreport a 12% CAGR and become a `4,00,000cr industry by2020. Further, the industry is set for a paradigm shift withincreasing income levels (both urban and rural India) and changingconsumer behavior as its key growth drivers.
Nature of competition
From unorganized players: In categories like biscuits, hairoil, soaps and skin creams, the market is fragmented asinfrastructure is poor and limits the penetration of MNCs andnational players in rural areas. Also, low brand awareness andspurious and duplicate products are a threat to organized playersin these categories.
Among organized players (Domestic): The competitivescenario is high in many categories. FMCG companies havealways been in the limelight for their strategies towards competition,be it price war between HUL and P&G or Coke and Pepsi; ortheir innovative marketing strategies.
Among organized players (International): Internationalcompanies are launching products in the domestic market,thus posing competition to domestic players. For instance,Unilever launched Sure; GSKCH launched Lucozade; ITC launchedLucky Strikes (a product of its global shareholder, British AmericanTobacco).
Inorganic expansion to fill the portfolio gap: GCPL'sacquisition of Issue, Megasari and GSL; Marico's acquisitionof Code10; Dabur's acquisition of Hobi and Namaste Group.
Penetration levels indicate lot of headroom
We believe companies that have underpenetrated products inrural and urban India will grow at a faster pace compared tocompanies that have highly penetrated products.

Home care
Various products under this category such as laundry bars, mosquitorepellents, dish washing cleaners and surface cleaners are availablein various variants and have a vast presence in the unorganizedmarket. Most of these products are available at low price points,giving low margins to players operating in the segment; however,products such as air care and electric variants of mosquitorepellents are premium-price products. In terms of opportunity,due to the low penetration of most of these products, thesesegments offer a number of opportunities to grow upon volumesand increased acceptability in the market.
Personal care
Under this category, products such as soaps, shampoos,toothpastes and hair oil are available in many variants, acrossvarious price points. Use of these products is not affected byany economic condition. These are mass products and havelimited volume growth opportunities; however, sales of theseproducts are least affected by inflation. On the other hand,products such as skin care and cosmetics have comparativelylow penetration in India, even when these are available at variousprice points. All these are expanding segments and offer companiesattractive opportunities to tap on. In personal care, deodorantshave the lowest penetration, even when many variants are available,and pricing varies from brand to brand. Thus, deodorant offersa great potential to enhance volume growth.
Packaged goods
Penetration level is low in the packaged goods category ascompared to home and personal care categories. The packagedgoods category witnesses high competition in products suchas biscuits, chocolates, ice cream and edible oil due to availabilityof variants across various price points and presence of theunorganized market. All these are mass products and offer attractivevolume growth opportunities. Other products such as soups,noodles, malt-based beverages and snack bars are all nichecategory products with limited acceptability in the market dueto premium pricing.

Company BackgroundITC is a diversified conglomerate, present across various categories – cigarettes(60% of revenue); hotels (3% of revenue); paperboards and packaging(9% of revenue); agri-business (14% of revenue); and other FMCG (brandedapparel, personal care, stationery, safety matches and specialty papers; 14%of revenue). Although ITC is a market leader in the cigarettes category, it israpidly gaining market share even in its evolving businesses of packagedfoods and confectionery, branded apparel, personal care and stationery.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In the ~ `24,000cr cigarette industry in India, ITC hasa 73% volume and 82% revenue market share, where volume growth hasbeen on an average at ~2% in the last decade. We believe cigarette consumptionin India will continue to grow at this average. Cigarettes generate ~65% ofITC's gross revenue and 81% of operating profit. Also, the branded packagedfood industry (reporting a ~19% CAGR currently) accounts for 52% of theoverall FMCG market, providing a huge market potential to be captured.
Competitive position: ITC is a leader in the cigarettes category with 73%volume and 82% revenue market share; ~5% market share in soaps.
Nature of business: Defensive; Diversified branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsCigarettes to grow by double digits and post impressive EBIT margin:We believe the cigarette business is well poised to post double-digit salesand EBIT growth in FY2013E. The company has taken prices hikes in brandssuch as Classic, Navy Cut and Gold Flake.
Non-cigarette FMCG to register a ~20% CAGR over FY2011-13E: Whilecigarettes remain the main profit center for the company, investments innon-cigarette businesses such as FMCG, hotels and paperboards have startedyielding positive results. Over FY2011-13E, we expect non-cigarette EBITto register a ~20% CAGR, aided by 1) reduction in non-cigarette FMCGlosses (likely breakeven in FY2013); 2) improvement in hotel margins, aidedby higher ARRs and uptick in the economy; and 3) higher margins in thepaperboards and packaging business.
Valuation: At the CMP of `209, the stock is trading at 23.7x FY2013EEPS. We recommend Neutral on the stock with a fair value of `̀̀̀̀219,based on our SOTP valuation.

Company BackgroundHUL, a 52% subsidiary of Unilever, is one of India's largest consumer goodscompanies. HUL is present across four main product categories – 1) soapsand detergents (45% of revenue); 2) personal products (mainly shampoos,skin care and toothpaste; 30% of revenue); 3) beverages (mainly tea andcoffee; 12% of revenue); 4) packaged foods and ice cream (6% of revenue);and 5) others, mainly consisting of water purifiers. The company, with itsiconic brands such as Lux, Lifebuoy, Surf Excel, Rin, Wheel, Fair & Lovely,Pond's, Vaseline, Lakmé, Dove, Clinic Plus, Sunsilk, Pepsodent, Closeup,Axe, Brooke Bond, Bru, Knorr, Kissan and Walls, has a vast presence inrural as well as urban Indian markets, with one of the largest distributionnetworks spanning over 6.3mn retail outlets.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: According to industry sources, penetration of the soapsand detergent segment is pegged at ~98% in India, offering little room forgrowth. HUL is now increasing its focus in product categories with lowpenetration, such as the skin care (estimated penetration level at~30% inurban India and ~19% in rural India).
Competitive position: HUL has ~45% value share of the toilet soaps market,with its key brands Lux, Lifebuoy, Hamam, Breeze, Pears, Dove and Liril.In detergents, the company has ~37% value share of the detergents market,with its four key brands - Surf, Rin, Wheel and Sunlight. The company is aleader in tea (Brooke Bond and Lipton) and coffee (Bru) and other packagedfoods like Annapurna (atta and salt), Kissan (Ketchups and Jams) and Knorr(soups, meals and noodles).
Nature of business: Defensive sector; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsIncreasing innovation and brand repositioning to accelerate growth: HULhas been re-launching products from its existing brands and has increasedthe pace of new launches, targeting the mid/premium market segment.For the S&D and personal products segments, we model in revenue CAGRsof 8.5% and 15.7% and expect margin to come in at ~12% and ~25%,respectively, over FY2011-13E.
Healthy domestic growth rates and strong balance sheet provide furtherimpetus: HUL is a cash-rich, zero-debt company enjoying high RoE of ~75%.We have modeled in a recurring earnings CAGR of ~17% overFY2011-13E, though we expect the company's margin to be under pressuredue to high input cost inflation.
Rich valuations: The stock is trading at rich valuations of ~30x FY2013EEPS against its five-year historical valuations of 24x. We see limited upsidein the stock at these levels and continue to maintain our Neutral ratingon the stock.

Company BackgroundNestlé India, a 61.9% subsidiary of its global parent Nestlé SA, is one of thelargest and most diversified food and beverage (F&B) companies in India.The company's product portfolio in CY2010 comprised milk products andnutrition (~44% of sales), prepared dishes and cooking aids (~27%), chocolatesand confectionery (~15%) and beverages (~14%). While Nestlé enteredthe Indian market way back in 1912, when it began as a trading company,its real activity in the country started in 1961 when it set up its first factoryat Moga, Punjab, to develop milk. Nestlé has seven factories across thecountry and is now involved in the manufacturing and marketing of a rangeof quality products across the F&B segment.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Nestlé enjoys a strong position across categories inthe F&B space through a diversified portfolio of established brands, includingMaggi, Nescafé, Everyday, Kit Kat and Milkmaid. Growth opportunities forthe company lay in underpenetrated categories such as instant noodles,value-added dairy products, chocolates and confectionery, which are witnessingan uptrend in consumer demand. Also, changing lifestyles and focus onhealth and wellness will be the key growth drivers for the company.
Competitive position: Nestlé is a market leader in baby foods, infant formula,dairy whitener, sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee, wafer and whitechocolates, instant noodles and ketchups and No. 2 in healthy soupsand chocolates.
Nature of business: Defensive sector; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsBest play on the emerging growth opportunity in the F&B space: Nestléenjoys a strong position across categories in the F&B space through itsdiversified portfolio of established brands such as Maggi, Nescafé, Everyday,Kit Kat and Milkmaid. We are particularly bullish on underpenetrated categoriessuch as instant noodles, value-added dairy products, chocolates andconfectionery, which are witnessing an uptrend in consumer demand.
However, valuations at 155% premium to the Sensex capture full potential:At the CMP, Nestlé is trading at ~180% premium to the Sensex, significantlyahead of its five-year average historical premium of ~76%. While Nestléhas been able to maintain these premium valuations because of its strongparentage, dominant brands, high RoE and OPM, we believe current valuationscapture the full potential of near-term growth. We remain cautious in termsof Nestlé being able to maintain this triple-digit premium to the Sensex onaccount of gross margin pressures due to rising input costs and competitionin the high-growth noodles category from HUL, GSKCHL and ITC. Nestléis trading at 33.2x FY2013E EPS, above its historical valuations of 28x.We remain Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundAsian Paints (APL) is India's largest paints company, with a market share of~50%. The company is mainly present in the decorative segment, whichcontributes over 75% to its sales. The company features among the top 10decorative paint players globally. APL has a large distribution network ofaround 25,000 dealers and 18,000 'Colour World' outlets. The company'sinternational revenue comes from countries in the Caribbean, Middle East,South Pacific and Asian regions.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The paint industry's volume growth rate is pegged at1.5-2x India's GDP growth. Increasing income levels and strong demandfor decorative paints and premium products will be the key growth driversfor companies with a strong brand presence and a widespread distributionnetwork. Also, shift from the unorganized to the organized sector will be agrowth trigger for the paint industry. As per capita consumption increasesfrom the current estimated 1-1.5kg, large companies, like APL, are expectedto continue to deliver strong revenue growth.
Competitive position: APL is the market leader in the paints industry, witha market share of over 50% in terms of volumes, followed by Berger Paints,Nerolac and Akzo Nobel. With 20,000 Colour World stores in India, thecompany has an added competitive advantage over its competitors.
Nature of business: Branded business; High entry barriers; Relatively cyclicalwhen compared to peers in the FMCG sector.
Current Investment ArgumentsUncertainty over demand conditions hover: Although APL has not witnessedany slowdown in demand for paints, we do not expect growth to be as robustconsidering the price hikes (~12% yoy). Also, due to the slowdown in thecurrent environment, we expect demand for paints to remain sluggish.
Margin pressure to continue: We expect APL to sustain its OPM at ~17%in FY12E and do not expect it to witness any improvement in gross marginand operating margin in the remaining quarters. The company has beenfacing raw-material cost pressure since many quarters. Management maintainsthat price of TiO2 is very high and is not expected to witness a decline sosoon. Currently, TiO2 price is higher by over 40% yoy.
Sluggishness in the international business: APL's international businesshas been sluggish for a few quarters now. We do not expect any positivesurprises on this front, as a number of uncertainties prevail in many countrieswhere the company operates.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 21.6xFY2013E EPS againstits five-year historical average valuations of 20x. We believe the stock isrichly valued and offers limited upside from the CMP. We wait for betterentry opportunities and, hence, remain Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundDabur is a leading Indian FMCG company, offering products in the hair oil,shampoo, oral care, home care, skin care, foods and healthcare categories.The company has many iconic brands such as Dabur, Vatika, Hajmola, Realand Fem. The company has 17 manufacturing facilities, with a presence inover 60 countries. The company is currently headed by Mr. Sunil Duggal.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Dabur will be one of the major beneficiaries of theIndian consumption story, with ~50% of its revenue generated from ruraland semi urban India. Also, with increasing awareness levels among consumers,companies in the health and wellness segment would tend to grow at afaster pace. Dabur, a well-established brand in the fruit juices and healthsupplements categories, will be one of the major beneficiaries of rural growthand changing consumer preferences.
Competitive position: Dabur is a market leader in heavy amla-based oil,with a ~57% market share; Fem is a market leader in bleaches; Dabur is No.1 in Chywanprash and honey products and No. 2 in glucose.
Nature of business: Defensive sector; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsNiche positioning and acquisitions to drive growth: Dabur's niche positioning,based on its ayurvedic/herbal offerings, provides it an attractive and uniqueproposition in terms of product portfolio. We believe the recent acquisitionswill contribute steadily to the company's top-line growth. We model in a20% CAGR in revenue over FY2011-13E, with the health supplements, babycare, home care and foods segments leading the company’s growth.
Margin to remain under pressure: We expect Dabur to remain under marginpressure due to increased raw-material prices. Also, due to new productlaunches, various marketing initiatives and increased competition, the company'sad spends could witness a spike. We have modeled in OPM of ~18% forFY2012E and FY2013E.
Acquisition rationale: Acquisitions of Hobi Group and Namaste Group provideDabur an entry into attractive new markets. Management has stated thatthese integrations are on track, and the company plans to introduce its coreproducts in international markets.
Valuations: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 21.2x FY2013E EPS. Wemaintain our Accumulate recommendation on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀110.

The oral care segmentcontributes ~96% to the company's revenue, with the personal care andhousehold care segment contributing the balance. The company, under thePalmolive brandname, is present in the personal care segment.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Low per capita consumption of toothpaste in India(127gms/person) as compared to 200+ gms/person in China, Malaysia andPhilippines and 500+ gms/person in U.S. presents a key growth opportunityto the company. Further, increasing awareness about personal oral hygieneand higher spends on FMCG products provide a huge growth opportunityto oral care product companies.
Competitive position: Colgate enjoys a leadership position in the Indianoral care space, with ~53% market share in toothpaste, ~46% in toothpowderand ~40% in toothbrush categories in volume terms.
Nature of business: Defensive sector; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsOral care category witnessing high competition: We believe competitionin the oral care category is set to intensify for all players. Colgate has launchedpremium products, such as Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste and Colgate3600 Sensitive Pro-Relief toothbrush, post Glaxo's launch of Sensodyneand HUL showing aggression through product launches and higher ad spends.We also expect P&G to intensify competition in India, as it is doing globally.This could lead to much higher ad spends and affect Colgate's profitability.
Limited earnings growth and OPM under pressure: As expected, Colgateis witnessing a slippage in margins from FY2010. While we have modeledin a margin contraction of 52bp for FY2012E, we highlight the same is atrisk to - 1) higher excise duty due to further roll-back, 2) rise in competitiveintensity and 3) deterioration in product mix. Moreover, we have modeled ina higher tax rate for FY2011-13E at 26%, as income tax benefits at Baddifacility reduce from 100% to 30%.
Expensive valuations for a muted earnings CAGR: At the CMP of `967,the stock is trading at P/E of 25.6x FY2013E EPS, against its five-yearhistorical average of 22x. In terms of earnings growth, we do not expect anypositive surprises and, hence, we maintain our Neutral rating on the stockand wait for better entry opportunities.

Company BackgroundGCPL is a leading FMCG company in the household and personal careproducts category, with brands such as Good Knight, HIT, Cinthol, GodrejNo.1 and Expert. The company has built a foothold in Africa, Latin America,Indonesia and U.K. through several acquisitions. Currently, ~36% of thecompany's revenue comes from its international business.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: GCPL’s strategic presence in Africa, where large MNCshave less presence, offers it a firm ground to tap the untapped market.Also, the company's international business reduces its dependence on thedomestic soap category, where competition is fierce.
Competitive position: GCPL has ~10% market share in the soaps category,with brands like Godrej No.1, Cinthol and Fairglow. In the hair color category,GCPL has a ~29% market share; while in the household insecticides category,the company has a market share of 37%.
Nature of business: Defensive sector; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsAcquisitions to drive a 16% CAGR in EPS over FY2011-13E: Managementhas constantly reiterated that all recent international acquisitions have beenEPS-accretive. Over FY2011-13E, we expect GCPL to post a 16% CAGRin its EPS, largely driven by consolidation of its recent acquisitions.
Dependence on soaps to decline, home care to emerge as the largestcategory: Over FY2011-13E, we expect the personal wash (including soaps)category to contribute 24-25% to the company's total consolidated revenue.Further, we expect the home care segment's contribution to increase to50-51%. We believe the shift in revenue mix is likely to help GCPL de-riskits dependence on the highly competitive soaps market and increase itsfocus on the high-margin, high-growth insecticides business.
Synergistic benefits and cross-pollination opportunities: We believe thereare synergistic benefits in terms of distribution and supply-chain networksthrough the integration of Godrej Household Products Ltd., which is likelyto reflect over FY2011-13E. Moreover, GHPL's strong presence in southernIndia complements GCPL's strong presence in northern India well, givingGCPL a balanced presence.
Valuation: The stock is trading at 18.5x FY2013E EPS, against its five-yearhistorical average of 20x. We maintain our Accumulate rating on the stockwith a target price of `̀̀̀̀430.

Company BackgroundGSKCHL is one the largest players in the health foods industry in India anda clear market leader in the hot malted beverages category. The company'sflagship product, Horlicks is a highly popular brand with a rich heritage,ranking No. 1 in the malted beverages category with a ~50% market share.The company also sells other malted beverages brands, such as Boost,Maltova and Viva. GSKCHL is also present in the biscuits segment throughits Horlicks biscuits range. In addition, the company promotes and distributesa number of OTC products from its global parent, which include prominenthousehold names like Eno, Crocin and Iodex. GSKHCL has a strong marketingand distribution network in India, comprising over 1,800 wholesalers and400,000 retail outlets.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The hot malted beverages category offers a potentialfor sustainable growth, owing to its low penetration levels. The category'sgrowth has started to pick up on account of rising per capita income, growingmodern retail trade, higher promotional activity and better rural penetration.Moreover, increasing awareness about such products along with a mindsetshift towards healthier beverages provides a huge opportunity to leaders likeGSKCHL. Since kids are the key growth drivers of this category, brand positioningwould continue to play a critical role in the performance of such products.
Competitive position: GSKCHL is a clear market leader in the malted beveragescategory, with a market share of 70%. The company's core brands, Horlicksand Boost, have stood the test of times from competition like Cadbury, Heinzand Nestle, owing to their strong brand equity, innovative variants and astrong foothold in key markets like southern India.
Nature of business: Defensive; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsAnchor brands to perform well coupled with new launches: We expectGSKHCL to perform well with its anchor brands – Horlicks and Boost. Also,with the launch of innovative and premium products, GSKCHL tends to maintainits margins and market share. In the MFD (milk food drinks) category, weexpect Horlicks to witness double-digit volume growth by CY2012E. Similarly,Boost is expected to post double-digit volume growth. Though the companyhas pricing power, innovative launches such as small pack sizes will help thecompany garner a market share in rural markets and penetrate new areas.
Earnings growth and margins to remain stable at ~17%: OverCY2011-12, we expect the company's margin to remain at ~17% due tointensive competition in the business environment (leading to a considerableexpenditure in advertisements) and mounting high raw-material inflation. Weexpect the company's earnings to witness a 17% CAGR over CY2010-12E.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 25.9xFY2013E EPS, againstits five-year historical average valuations of 20x. We believe the stock isrichly valued and offers limited upside from the CMP. We wait for betterentry opportunities and, hence, remain Neutral on the stock.

Marico's product portfolio includes brandssuch as Parachute, Saffola, Hair & Care, Nihar, Mediker, Revive and Manjal.The company's brand Parachute is a household name in India.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The beauty and wellness segment is riding on a positivegrowth path, on the back of fast-changing lifestyles, growing health consciousness,high disposable incomes and demand for quality products.

Competitive position: Marico has a 53% market share in the oils category,where Parachute has a 46% market share of the Indian coconut oil market.Saffola constitutes 53% of the super premium refined edible oil market.
Nature of business: Defensive; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsImpressive volume growth across categories/strong pricing power: Weexpect Marico to post healthy volume growth in its core brands in FY2012E.The company has not witnessed significant slowdown in volume growth despitesteep price hikes. Over the past few months, raw-material prices have beensoftening; so, we do not expect any steep price hikes further. Although marginswill not improve significantly due to softening of raw-material prices, webelieve they will stabilize going forward.
International business gaining momentum: Marico's international businessnow contributes ~23% to its top line. The company maintains its leadershipposition in different categories in different regions. The recently acquiredICP in Vietnam is expected to contribute ~5% to Marico's top line. Webelieve the company's international business will post a ~31% CAGR overFY2011-13E.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 23.9x FY2013E EPS againstits five-year historical average valuations of 22x. We believe the stock isrichly valued and offers limited upside from the CMP. We wait for betterentry opportunities and, hence, maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

Company BackgroundTata Global Beverages Limited (TGBL) is an emerging player in the globalbeverage market. The company has made a strategic shift from being alocal tea company to a global beverage company through various acquisitionsand strategic partnerships with global beverage giants such as PepsiCoand Starbucks. As a result, the company has made an entry into the top 10global companies list in the hot drinks category, posing a challenge to globalplayers like Nestlé, Unilever and Kraft Foods. The company's product portfoliocomprises leading global brands like Tetley and Eight O' Clock and localbrands like Tata Tea.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Growth opportunity: TGBL holds a strong growth potentialwith increasing consumption of healthy beverages in India and globally.Acquisitions and strategic partnerships with global beverage giants like PepsiCoand Starbucks offer a huge market potential for TGBL, as it can developand market products in local as well as global markets.
Competitive position: TGBL, led by its various acquisitions in recent years,has become a global non-alcoholic beverage company. The company nowfeatures among the global top 10 players list in the hot drinks category. Thecompany has a 1.5% share in the global list and is a leader in the Indian teamarket. Also, the company is the second largest global tea marketing companyand the third largest player (post the acquisition of Eight O' Clock coffeethrough its subsidiary Tata Coffee) in the branded coffee market in the U.S.
Nature of business: Branded business; Highly competitive.
Current Investment ArgumentsWe estimate TGBL to post a ~9% CAGR over FY2011-13E on the basis ofprice and volume-led growth. Despite slow revenue growth, we expect healthyexpansion of 150bp in the company's OPM over FY2011-13E, from 8.6%in FY2011 to ~10% in FY2013E, due to changes in cost structure andselective price hikes in key products. Adjusted earnings for the companyare expected to witness a robust ~40% EPS CAGR over FY2011-13E,primarily due to increased OPM.
Valuation: Despite its leadership position in the Indian packaged tea market,No. 2 position in the global tea market and generating ~90% of itstotal revenue from branded products, TGBL is trading at 13.6x FY2013EEPS (which is at a discount to its FMCG peers, trading at 20-35x FY2013EEPS). Also, on EV/Sales basis, the stock is trading at 0.7x FY2013EEV/Sales (historical average of 1x EV/ Sales). Hence, we recommend anAccumulate rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀102.

Company BackgroundBritannia is one of the foremost food companies in India. The company ispresent across the biscuits, dairy products and breads segments and hasrecently forayed into the breakfast cereals category with the launch ofHealthy Start. Britannia derives ~85% of its revenue from the biscuits segment,where it has formidable brands such as Tiger (glucose biscuits), Treat (creambiscuits), 50-50 (crackers), Good Day (premium cookies and the company'shighest selling brand) and Nutrichoice (premium high-fiber biscuits).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The biscuit industry, which has been steadily recordingdouble-digit value growth over FY2008-11, is one of the largest growingFMCG categories in India. The industry stands at ~`10,782cr in value andhas recorded a 9.2% CAGR over FY2006-11. Biscuit volume growth wasestimated to be at ~6% yoy in FY2011, despite no significant change indistribution network, implying that the key reason for increased biscuit volumesis higher per capita consumption of biscuits to ~2.1kg/year (1.8kg/year inFY2009), with a 55% penetration level in the rural market and 85% penetrationin the urban market.
Competitive position: Britannia is the market leader in the sweet cookiesand Marie biscuit segments, which constitute 35% of the biscuit market.In the Marie biscuit segment, Britannia has a 37% market share, followedby Parle and ITC (11% and 7% share, respectively). Overall, Britannia enjoysthe No. 2 position in the Indian biscuit market with a 38% market share.
Nature of business: Defensive; Branded business.
Current Investment ArgumentsRenewed product portfolio to aid growth: Britannia has recently forayedinto breakfast cereals, milk and premium category biscuits. We believe thisrejig in product portfolio offers significant uptrading benefits to the company,thereby fuelling growth. Also, with increased per capita consumption andpenetration, the company will continue to grow at a pace faster than itshistorical growth.
Cooling raw-material prices to help improve margins: Over the past oneyear, raw-material prices have been trending high, putting significant marginpressure on Britannia. However, prices of major commodities (like sugarand wheat) have shown some signs of cooling in the past one quarter. Whilewe have limited visibility on raw-material prices over the longer term, withthe onset of normal monsoons, we do not expect a significant rise in theprices of these commodities going ahead. Moreover, we believe the company'svarious cost-rationalization methods and improving sales mix will aid operatingmargins to increase from the current level of 5.3% to 5.8% in FY2012E and7.1% in FY2013E.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 20x FY2013 EPS, howeveron account of subdued operating margins, the company is trading at attractive0.9x FY2013E EV/Sales against its historical average of 1.5x EV/Sales.We expect Britannia to post margin expansion of 130bp over FY2013.Hence, we maintain our Accumulate rating on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀495, based on 22x FY2013E EPS.

Negatives cappedInfrastructure development inevitable for India's economic growth in themedium term: Importance of infrastructure development is well acknowledgedby the government and, therefore, it is focusing on infrastructure creationwith active participation of the private sector. For bridging the infrastructuredeficit and for sustaining a higher growth rate, the Twelfth Five Year Plan(FY2012-17) envisages a total investment of ~US$1,000bn in infrastructure(Eleventh Five Year Plan investment: ~US$500bn).
Near-term scenario to remain murky: However, during the past one year,infrastructure stocks have been punished by investors, leading to a huge declinein their prices (30-70%). This downward spiral in infrastructure stocks hasbeen caused mainly due to 1) deteriorating business environment owing tohigh interest rates; policy inaction; and negative investment climate for theinfrastructure sector; and 2) stretched balance sheet on account of elongatedworking capital (WC) and elevated debt levels, leading to consistent earningsunderperformance. Further, given no visible signs of reversal of trends, wecontinue with our view that the environment for the sector will remain murkyin the near term. The infrastructure sector’s valuations (FY2013 PE of7.0-18.0x vs. past average of 20.0-30.0x) have slipped to historical lows, afterthe dismal performance of 2011. This has been on the back of consistentearnings downgrades (30-40% downgrade in FY2012/FY2013 earnings) andwell-known concerns plaguing the sector.
We do not expect more earnings downward revision, given the already subduedexpectations and peaking of interest rates. Further, there have been recentpositive developments on the reform front in the past six months, such as newland reforms bill being introduced, some no-go areas being allowed for mining,new infrastructure lending norms for setting up of debt funds, increasing consensuson the likely imposition of import duties and hikes in power tariffs by variousSEBs. Therefore, we expect outperformance from the sector in the mediumto long term; but any meaningful rerating of the sector will have to be precededby consistent and aggressive push on infrastructure spend/policy reformsfrom the government’s side and interest rate cuts.
Valuations offer favorable risk reward ratio: We have revised downwardsour earnings estimates (20-30%) - building in subdued order inflows leadingto flat revenue growth, flat/declining margins and no major respite on thedebt front - for most companies for FY2012/13. Further, considering the macroand micro variables, we believe our EPS estimates face limited downsiderisks. Further, earnings catalysts are weak and so is positive news flow; butafter the underperformance in the past 12 months, the sector trades at undemandingvaluations on subdued earnings estimates. Hence, we believe the time hascome for the recognition of opportunities on offer.
We are positive on companies that have: 1) strong execution skills (L&T,SEL and IRB) - necessary for maintaining revenue momentum; 2) balancesheet strength (L&T, IRB and SEL) - very important due to the high interestrate scenario and poor environment for raising fund; and 3) decent orderbook (L&T, IVRCL, SEL and IRB) - to weather the drying up of orders. Hence,we maintain L&T, IVRCL and SEL as our top picks in the E&C space andrecommend IRB in the development space.

Near-term scenario to remain murkyDuring the past one year, infrastructure stocks have been punishedby investors leading to a huge decline in their prices (30-70%).This downward spiral in infrastructure stocks has been causedmainly due to a deteriorating business environment andstretched balance sheet.
Deteriorating business environmentDuring the past few quarters, business environment forinfrastructure companies has been miserable due to severalheadwinds faced by the sector such as: 1) high interest rates;2) policy inaction; and 3) negative investment climate for theinfrastructure sector.
High interest rate scenario: Consistent hike in repo rates bythe RBI (in order to contain inflation) has accentuated the alreadyhigh interest cost for companies in the sector. High interestcost (owing to a high interest rate regime and increased debtlevels) resulted in a decline in the bottom line of most companiesunder our coverage. However, the recent RBI commentary indicatesa pause in further interest rate hikes. Therefore, in our businessmodels, we have not factored in any further rates hikes, thusinterest costs of companies would increase primarily due tohigher debt levels. Further, going ahead, we are penciling insome respite on the interest rate front in FY2013, givinginfrastructure companies the much-needed relief.

Policy inaction: Policy paralysis (slowdown in decision making,corruption scandals and a government fearful of a political backlashto any bold moves) has led to derailing of key infrastructureprojects in the country. This is evident from the government'slatest quarterly project implementation status report, which points
out that of the 590 major projects of `150cr or more, 283have been delayed. Further, infrastructure projects draw investmentsin India and as a result of these problems the inflow of FDI isalso showing a decline.
Negative investment climate for the infrastructure sector:On account of the above-mentioned reasons, there has been aconsiderable slowdown in investments in infrastructure fromboth the government and private sector. Consequently, therehas been a slowdown in order inflow for companies across allinfrastructure sectors, which is becoming a cause of concern,as diminishing order book has a direct impact on revenue visibility.
Further, given no visible signs of reversal of trends, we continuewith our view that the environment for the sector will remainmurky in the near term.
Stretched balance sheet - A worryElongated WC: During the last few quarters, WC requirementacross sectors has gone up significantly. This jump in WC canbe attributed to the increase in the following factors: 1) loansand advances - to lend support to subsidiaries and smallsubcontractors; and 2) debtors - liquidity crunch faced by clientsand lack of bargaining power on the contractor's front. Further,given the current headwinds faced by the economy, we do notexpect any improvement in 2HFY2012.
Elevated debt levels: Companies' debt levels, which are alreadyabove comfort limits, have further increased to 1) fund theirgrowing WC requirements; and 2) equity infusion in subsidiaries.

Structural outlook remains strongInfrastructure development inevitable for India's economic growthin the medium term: Over the years, India has been experiencinginfrastructure-related concerns such as power deficits, inadequateroad network and insufficient facilities at its ports. Therefore, it isimperative to rapidly increase the investment in infrastructure fromthe current levels. The government's focused initiatives towardsinfrastructure creation with active participation of the private sectorwill hold key to the Indian economy's growth. For bridging infrastructuredeficit and for sustaining a higher growth rate, the Twelfth Five YearPlan (FY2012-17) envisages a total investment of ~US$1,000bn ininfrastructure (Eleventh Five Year Plan investment: ~US$500bn).
Characteristics of the construction industry(1) High level of fragmentation: The Indian construction industry is highly fragmented, which can be attributed to low entrybarriers due to limited capital requirement. Capital expenditure required is only to the extent of equipment required to executethe projects unlike manufacturing, which requires production facilities. (2) WC-intensive: The construction industry has highWC requirements, and these requirements enhance during the slowdown/tight liquidity scenario. Further, any delay in paymentespecially from government departments pushes up receivables.
Despite high levels of fragmentation and WC requirements, the construction industry is expected to be the biggest beneficiaryof the surge in infrastructure investment over the next five years, as construction accounts for ~65% of the total investment ininfrastructure. Hence, investments in the infrastructure sector over the next 5-10 years - power, roads, bridges, city infrastructure,ports, airports and telecommunications - would provide the necessary impetus to the construction industry.

Company BackgroundL&T, the largest Indian infrastructure conglomerate, is present across almostall the infrastructure segments and is at the forefront of the Indian infragrowth story. Over the years, the company has diversified across varioussegments to encash the untapped infra opportunity, not only in India but inother geographies as well, and has an excellent track record of achievingthe same. Over the past 10 years (FY2001-11), L&T has reported a CAGRof 19.5% and 28.8% in its top line and bottom line, respectively.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Over the years, India has been experiencing infrastructure-related concerns such as power deficits, inadequate road network and insufficientfacilities at its ports. Therefore, it is imperative to rapidly increase the investmentin infrastructure from the current 6% of GDP (China invests 11% of GDP ininfrastructure). L&T's strong balance sheet, sound execution engine, widearray of capabilities and integrated operations tailored to suit India's infrastructuregrowth story lead us to place faith in the company and its talent to tap thepotential opportunity.
Competitive position: L&T faces competition in most of the segments; butgiven its quality of construction and financial strength, the company hasbeen able to evade it and maintain above-industry return ratios.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Capital intensive; Low entry barriers for newplayers in most segments.
Current Investment ArgumentsConcerns overdone: L&T stock has underperformed BSE Sensex by ~25.3%in the past three months, owing to factors such as slowing order inflowsand rising competition (especially in the BTG equipment segment), leadingto fears of slippage on revised order inflow guidance. We believe thoughL&T would find it difficult to meet its guidance for FY2012, it is better placedthan its peers on a number of parameters (such as diversification and balancesheet strength), and further its current market price factors in the short-term negatives.
Best stock to play the Indian infrastructure theme: We believe L&T isbest placed to benefit from the gradual recovery in the capex cycle, givenits diverse exposure to sectors, strong balance sheet and cash flow generationas compared to its peers, which grapple with issues such as strained cashflow, high leverage and limited net worth and technological capabilities.
Valuations attractive: On the valuation front, due to the recent correction,the stock is trading at PE of 13.4x FY2013E earnings, adjusted for subsidiaryvalue, which is lower than its historical PE of 15-20x. Hence, we believethe recent correction provides a good opportunity to Buy with a SOTPtarget price of `̀̀̀̀1,608.

Company BackgroundJaiprakash Associates (JAL), the flagship company of Jaypee Group, wasset up in 1958 by Jai Prakash Gaur, who started as a small-time constructioncontractor in Kota, Rajasthan. Over the years, JAL has transformed itselfinto a large infrastructure conglomerate in India. The company is presentacross the following sectors: 1) cement (the third-largest group, ~26.2mtcapacity in FY2011); 2) power (the largest private sector hydro-electric powerutility, ~1,700MW operational capacity); 3) real estate (one of the largestland banks in NCR, with over 695mn sq. ft. area; 4) engineering and construction(E&C, the largest company in the hydro-electric power sector); 5) expressways/highways (Yamuna expressway is one of the biggest toll projects); and6) hospitality.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Over the years, India has been experiencing infrastructure-related concerns such as power deficits, inadequate road network and insufficientfacilities at its ports. For bridging the infrastructure deficit and for sustaininga higher growth rate, the Twelfth Five-Year Plan envisages a total investmentof ~US$1,000bn in infrastructure. Thus, JAL, being a diversified infrastructureconglomerate, is expected to benefit from the same.
Competitive position: JAL faces stiff competition in all the segments. Thecompany also operates in the commodity business (mainly cement), whichgives it low bargaining power.
Nature of business: Low entry barriers in all segments where JAL operates,except the technology-intensive hydro power segment.
Current Investment ArgumentsCement capacity expansion instills confidence: JAL is on its way to becomeone of the leading players in the cement space, following capacity expansionfrom 9.0mtpa in FY2008 to 35.9mtpa in the next few years. We believe thecement capacity that JAL proposes to set up would enable it to enjoy operatingleverage benefits and catapult it into the league of cement majors like ACCand Ambuja.
Diversified play: JAL is a unique play on the ongoing infrastructure themewith a bouquet of offerings in construction, cement, power and real estate.Moreover, not only does the company have diversified offerings, it also enjoyslarge benefits in each of them. We expect the company to benefit as theinfrastructure theme pans out going ahead.
Valuations: We have valued JAL's cement and construction business at 6xEV/EBITDA - `62.2/share and `31.2/share, respectively. We have valuedits power and real estate business on mcap basis (giving 15% holding companydiscount), which contributes ̀ 57.0/share to our target price. The hotel segmentcontributes `0.8/share. Treasury shares (`5.7/share) have been valued atthe current market price, whereas net debt is accounted for on a per sharebasis in our valuation at `68.6. We recommend a Buy rating on the stockwith an SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀88, implying an upside of 33% from currentlevels.

Company BackgroundSadbhav Engineering Ltd. (SEL) was incorporated in 1988. The companyis a leading EPC and infrastructure development company based in Ahmedabad.SEL is present in the roads and highways (87% of order book), irrigation(4%) and mining (9%) sectors. The company forayed into the road sectorin 1995 and has since then executed several projects for NHAI and stategovernments. Currently, SEL is one of the largest BOT players in India withnine projects (operational: 4; under construction: 5) in its portfolio throughits 77.8% owned subsidiary, Sadbhav Infrastructure Project Ltd. (SIPL).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: SEL currently has an order book of `6,259cr (2.8xFY2011 revenue, which provides decent revenue visibility. However, in recenttimes, the road sector has witnessed very aggressive competition. SEL hasstayed away from such competition, which has resulted in drying of orderinflow for the company.
Competitive position: During the past few quarters, the road sector haswitnessed aggressive bidding due to the entry of many new players. Goingahead as well, we do not expect any significant moderation in competition,given the lack of opportunities from the other parts of the economy.
Nature of business: Low entry barriers; Rate sensitive.
Current Investment ArgumentsSound balance sheet: SEL has a sound balance sheet with parent netdebt/equity at 0.6x as of 2HFY2012 - only company in our universe to havereduced its debt in FY2011. The company's working capital position (73days - 1HFY2012) is also much better than its peers. This has insulated thecompany's earnings to a great extent in such an exorbitant interest ratescenario, which has been the key concern for the decline in the sector'searnings and has aided the company to outperform on the bourses.
Funds tied up for projects in hand: SEL had successfully raised `400crthrough stake dilution (22.2% in August 2010) in SIPL. This has made SELfully tied up for the projects in hand. This money raising was a timely developmentfor SEL, given its then huge equity commitment towards under developmentprojects. Also, this helped the company to focus on project execution, whichis SEL's forte, leading to early completion of projects - a rare phenomenonin the industry.
Valuations: At current levels, the stock is trading at PE of 13.0x FY2013Estandalone earnings. Our SOTP-based target price works out to ̀ 150/share,implying a 29% upside from current levels, based on a target P/E multipleof 9.0x to its FY2013E earnings and valuing its BOT arm on DCF (FCFE)basis. Hence, we recommend a Buy rating on the stock with a SOTPtarget price of `̀̀̀̀150. SEL is also one of our top picks in the sector.

Company BackgroundPunj Lloyd (Punj) is a diversified global engineering and construction company,with presence across the infrastructure (34% of order book), pipeline (20%),and process (20%) segments . Punj Group has three main entities - Punj,headquartered in India; SEC in Singapore; and Simon Carves in the U.K.Punj started as a pipeline company in 1982. Over the years, Punj, with thehelp of various JVs and acquisitions, has increased its expertise in basicinfrastructure projects, such as roads, power, cross-country pipelines, urbaninfrastructure, tankages and terminals, and process plants, among others.Punj was listed in 2006; and in the same year, it acquired SEC and SimonCarves.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Currently, Punj has an order book of `26,690cr (3.4xFY2011 revenue) - ~45% domestic and the balance from overseas. Further,Punj Group is very diversified in terms of geography, as it is actively involvedin projects in India, South Asia, South East Asia, the Caspian, Middle Eastand North Africa (MENA) and in some parts of U.K. and Europe. This offersa number of opportunities to Punj.
Competitive position: Punj faces competition in most of the segments acrossgeographies. For orders from the Middle East, Punj has been facing stiffcompetition from the Koreans who have bagged majority of the new orders,resulting in lower order booking for Punj.
Nature of business: Low entry barriers in most segments, except the pipelineand oil and gas segments.
Current Investment ArgumentsElongated working capital --> Increase in leverage: Over the past fiveyears, there has been a steady deterioration in the company's working capital(164 days as of 2HFY2012 from 49 days in FY2007). Also, given significantdelays for release of payments by PSU clients, has led to the company's netdebt to equity deteriorated to 1.4x at the end of 2HFY2012 from 0.5x at theend of FY2007.
Auditor qualification: Punj has total auditor qualification of ~`1,400cr (~47%of net worth FY2011), which is significantly above comfort levels. Further,lack of clarity on these and material impact of the same would remain anoverhang on the stock.
Quality of order book: Punj has not removed the slow-moving Libyan orders(`3,900cr) from its order book (`26,990cr), despite political instability inLibya. Further, these orders have been slow moving since the last 3-4 quarters.
Poor profitability: Punj's performance at the earnings level has been poorwith the company posting losses at consolidated level in the past few years.Further, going ahead as well, limited clarity on the same remains a concern.
Valuations: We have valued Punj on 0.5x P/BV (FY2013) and have arrivedat a fair value of `47. We continue to maintain our Neutral view on thestock due to the above-mentioned concerns.

Company BackgroundEstablished in 1926, Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) is one ofIndia's oldest construction and infrastructure development companies. HCC'score business is diversified across three broad verticals: 1) engineeringand construction (E&C); 2) asset development; and 3) real estate. HCC'sE&C order book is dominated by the power (hydro and nuclear) segment -58% of OB, followed by road (22%) and irrigation (20%).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Since the past few quarters, order inflow for HCChas been very sluggish due to various concerns affecting the sector (readpower), resulting in a decline in its order book. This trend is expected tocontinue for some more quarters, given the power sector is facingcyclical and structural problems; hence, HCC's medium-term growthprospects look weak.
Competitive position: HCC is expected to maintain its market share in thehydro and nuclear power segments, as there are just a handful of players inthese segments. However, in the road segment, HCC is expected to loseits market share on account of intense bidding and entry of many new players,which will make it difficult for HCC to win new projects.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Rate sensitive; Low entry barriers except forthe hydro and nuclear power segments.
Current Investment ArgumentsHuge investments and elongated working capital = Balance sheet stretched:HCC's balance sheet is loaded with debt (`4,171cr as of 2QFY2012; netD/E = 2.7 - standalone level) because of its BOT/real estate investmentsand funding of its working capital requirements (328 days as of 1HFY2012).Going ahead as well, owing to its commitments, we believe HCC will notget any respite on these fronts.
Deteriorating business environment: Slowdown on the execution front,along with macro headwinds faced by the sector, has resulted in erodingthe company's profitability. Further, the fact that there are no signs of reversalin sight paints a bleak outlook for the company in the medium term.
Uncertainty on the Lavasa project: Lavasa received clearance for theconstruction and development for Phase 1 in November 2011, post oneyear of legal battle with MOEF, which resulted in huge losses to HCC. However,the project still remains under the cloud of uncertainty and continues to bean overhang on the stock.
Valuations: We have valued HCC on an SOTP basis with a fair value of`32/share, by assigning 6x FY2013E earnings for the EPC arm (`3.9/share).The company's real estate venture (`11.7/share) has been valued on NAVbasis (50% discount). BOT assets (`16.3/share) have been valued by givinga 30% discount to the Private Equity deal. Although our fair value implies anupside of 52.7% from current levels, we continue to maintain our Neutralrecommendation on the stock, owing to the above-mentioned concerns.

Company BackgroundNagarjuna Construction Company (NCC), starting off as a building/industrialconstruction company, has emerged as an EPC contractor with a diversifiedproduct portfolio. NCC's presence across all the key infrastructure verticals:1) roads (4% of order book); 2) buildings (39%); 3) water (11%); 4) irrigation(12%); 5) electrical (4%); 6) power (9%); 7) oil and gas (6%); and 8) metals(2%) endows it with a relatively de-risked business model. NCC has alsoventured in international geographies (11% of order book) such as Omanand UAE, which further diversifies its business.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Currently, NCC has an order book of ~`16,570cr (3.3xFY2011 revenue), which provides good revenue visibility. NCC's order inflowhas been decent at `3,095cr in 1HFY2012, on account of its presence innine verticals. Management expects the road, building, water and electricalsegments to gather momentum and add significantly to the company's orderbook. Further, NCC's order book will get a boost because of its captivepower plant orders worth ~`5,000cr.
Competitive position: NCC faces tough competition in all the segments itoperates in. During the past few quarters, the road sector has witnessedentry of many new players, leading to aggressive bidding. NCC has notbeen able to bag any road BOT project in past 8-10 quarters due to itsconservative bidding strategy.
Nature of business: Low entry barriers; Rate sensitive.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong and diversified infrastructure play: The government's focused initiativestowards infrastructure creation with active participation of the private sectorwill hold key to the Indian economy's growth. For bridging the infrastructuredeficit and for sustaining a higher growth rate, the Twelfth Five-Year Planenvisages a total investment of ~US$1trillion in infrastructure. NCC, withits diversified presence, is well placed to benefit from the opportunities presentedby this spending.
Valuations: At the current price, the stock is trading at attractive valuations(4.5x its FY2013E earnings adjusted for its investments and subsidiaries)and at 0.5x FY2013E on P/BV basis (standalone). We have valued NCC onan SOTP basis with a target price of ̀ 59/share, by assigning 8.0x FY2013Eearnings for its E&C arm (`30.7/share) and 5.0x FY2013E earnings for itsinternational subsidiaries (`7.6/share). The company's real estate venture(`1.9/share) has been valued on P/B basis and its BOT assets (`8.4/share)have been valued on DCF basis. The company's power ventures (`10.8/share) have been valued on P/BV basis (0.5-1). Our target price impliesan upside of 28% from current levels. Hence, we recommend Buy onthe stock with a SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀59.

Company BackgroundIVRCL is one of the leading construction companies in India. Set up in 1987,the company is based in Hyderabad and is promoted by E Sudhir Reddy.IVRCL has a track record of executing infrastructure projects over the pasttwo decades. The company is the leader in water management and irrigationsystems in India. The company also operates in the construction of road,buildings, industrial structures and power transmission towers. IVRCL hastwo listed subsidiaries, namely: 1) IVRCL Assets and Holdings (IVRCLAH)and 2) Hindustan Dorr Oliver (HDO). IVRCLAH currently holds BOT projectsassets (to be demerged and amalgamated with IVRCL from FY2013) andland bank. HDO is mainly involved in industrial projects in areas ofmining and minerals, water and wastewater, fertilizers and chemicals andpulp and paper.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Currently, IVRCL has a robust order book of ~`25,500cr(4.5x FY2011 revenue), which provides good revenue visibility. Diversifiedacross six segments, the order book is dominated by the irrigation and watersegment (42%), followed by the transportation (26%) and building (20%)segments. In the past few quarters, despite order inflow being very sluggishfor the sector, IVRCL has scored well. The company witnessed order inflowof ~`8,000cr in 1HFY2012. However, going ahead, times are challengingfor contractors as the sector is under pressure and facing various headwinds.
Competitive position: IVRCL faces tough competition in all the segmentsit operates in and has no bargaining power.
Nature of business: Low entry barriers; Rate sensitive.
Current Investment ArgumentsEquity infusion - The key catalyst: IVRCL is looking for funds either throughmonetizing captive road projects or monetizing its land bank, given its equitycommitment over the next 12-18 months and its already stretched balancesheet. Management has chalked out a plan to reduce the company's debtlevels by FY2012-end and is looking to amalgamate its BOT assets back toIVRCL - thereby creating clarity over the end-use of funds. If this is achieved,it would not only improve IVRCL's working capital cycle but also lend a fillipfor the execution of its parent company.
Trading at undemanding valuations: At current levels, IVRCL is trading atvaluations of mere 0.5x FY2013E P/BV and 8.6x PE on FY2013E basis(standalone basis). We have valued IVRCL on an SOTP basis - the coreconstruction business has been valued at P/E of 8.0x FY2013E EPS of`4.6 (`37.0/share), whereas its stake in subsidiaries IVRCLAH (`15.5/share)and HDO (`3.8/share) has been valued on mcap basis, post assigning a20% holding company discount. Hence we maintain Buy on the stockwith a SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀56.

Company BackgroundSimplex Infrastructure (Simplex) is one of oldest construction companies inIndia, based in Kolkata. Over the years, Simplex has diversified across varioussegments to encash upon the untapped construction opportunities, and ithas an excellent track record of achieving the same. The company is presentacross eight segments - buildings (24% of order book), bridges (7%), industrial(14%), marine (2%), pilling (5%), power (25%), rail and roads (13%) andurban infrastructure (10%).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Simplex is a pure construction play (not an asset developer)and has its order book growth linked to industrial capex and infrastructurespend. In the past many quarters, there has been a slowdown in industrialcapex owing to various issues, such as slowdown in demand, high interestrates and delays on clearances. Recent management commentary and ourinteraction with various industry heads indicate that the slowdown is expectedto persist in the near term and revival can be expected only in 2HFY2013.On the infrastructure front, apart from the road segment, no other segmentis witnessing decent order awarding.
Competitive position: Simplex faces fierce competition in most of the segments,given the market is highly fragmented and requires little specialization.
Nature of business: Working capital intensive; Cyclical and interest-ratesensitive sector; Low technological intensity and no entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsDiversified play: Simplex is involved in the different segments of the infrastructuresector, indicating the company's strong execution capabilities. In terms ofits client profile, Simplex has a healthy mix of private (62% of order book),government (29%) and PPP projects (9%). This successful diversificationhas not only provided Simplex the experience of executing different andcomplex projects but has also qualified it to bid for bigger ticket-size projectsgoing ahead.
Better placed than most peers: Simplex has faced problems on two majorfronts - high leverage on the balance sheet (net D/E 1.6x as of 1HFY2012)and slowdown on the order inflow front. These problems are primarily dueto higher working capital days (from 92 days in FY2010 to 123 days in1HFY2012 - but not due to huge investments in ambitious BOT projects)and slowing economy. Therefore, once the economy revives, Simplex wouldbe one of the infra companies to benefit the most, considering that it has nostructural issues compared to peers.
Valuations attractive: Due to the recent correction, the stock is trading atPE of 7.6x FY2013E earnings, which is lower than its historical PE of 15-20x. Hence, we believe the recent correction provides a good opportunityto Buy with a target price of `̀̀̀̀233.

Company BackgroundPatel Engineering (PEL) provides the entire range of civil engineering servicesinvolved in the design and construction of hydroelectric projects, commercialbuildings, industrial complexes, dams, tunnels, underground structures, bridgesand national highways. The power (40%) and irrigation (46%) segmentsaccount for a majority of PEL's total order book and the balance is contributedby the transportation segment (14%).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Though there is a large potential in hydropower developmentin India, it is hit by several headwinds such as land acquisition, environmentand forest clearances, geological surprises, rehabilitation and resettlement(R&R) issues, funding issues, free power conditions imposed by states, andlaw and order problems in some projects. With the current policy paralysis,we do not expect these problems to be resolved and the resultant orderingactivity from the hydro power segment is expected to be slow. After thepolitical crisis in Andhra Pradesh, ordering activity in the irrigation segmenthas come down considerably - sensing that many companies have diversifiedinto different segments, which PEL has not been able to carry out. On thetransportation front, PEL is serving a one-year ban from the NHAI's sideand, hence, order inflow is expected to be muted.
Competitive position: PEL faces fierce competition in the transportationand irrigation segment, given the market is highly fragmented and requireslittle specialization. The company is expected to maintain its market share inthe hydro power segments, as there are just a handful of players.
Nature of business: Working capital intensive; Cyclical and interest-ratesensitive sector; Relatively high technological intensity than peers and moderate-to-high entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsStructural issues on the business front: PEL's core E&C business is currentlyfacing strong headwinds, with its large projects facing delays and drying oforder inflow for the last many quarters. Further, the longer gestation natureof its order book and increasing debt levels put the company's growth visibilityfor the next few quarters under doubt. Further, there is no clarity on theexecution schedule of its 1,050MW thermal power project owing to pendingclearances.
Valuations: Given the sharp fall in the stock price in the past 12 months,PEL's valuations have come down drastically vindicating our negative stanceon the stock. However, we are concerned about the growth prospects ofthe company and believe that it is facing structural issues, which will taketime to be sorted out. Further, there are better plays available in the infrastructurespace than PEL. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.
Key risks to our recommendation: 1) Pick-up in order inflow from the powersegment in the near term; 2) earlier-than-expected execution from itsslow-moving orders; and 3) raising of capital and the resultant decline indebt levels.

Company BackgroundMadhucon Projects Ltd. (MPL) is a Hyderabad-based construction companypromoted by N. Seethaiah and N. Krishnaiah. The company operates in theroad (58% of order book), irrigation (19%), power (10%), mining (7%) andreal estate (6%) segments. MPL has a portfolio of seven road BOT projects(four operational and three under development); three power projects (300MWx2and a recent international foray); a coal mine in Indonesia; and land bank inHyderabad.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: MPL's two major growth drivers (road and power sectors)are very differently poised currently. NHAI has set aggressive targets (~7,000kmof project awarding in FY2012E) and is on course to implement the same(~4,500km already awarded). In contrast, the power sector is currently plaguedwith various structural and cyclical issues and there seems to be no respitein the near to medium term on the same.
Competitive position: MPL faces fierce competition in most of the segments,given the market is highly fragmented and requires little specialization.
Nature of business: Capital intensive, cyclical and interest-rate sensitivesector; Low technological intensity and no entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsCaptive order inflows drive the order book's growth: As of 2QFY2012,MPL had an order book of `6,500cr (3.6x FY2011 revenue), lending goodrevenue visibility. In recent times, the order book has witnessed tractionfrom the road segment. However, in the past, the quality of the company'sorder book was affected by the high share of projects pending financialclosure (FC); these concerns are now put to rest with the FC for two of itsroad projects achieved, which contribute significantly (>35% of order book)to the overall scheme of things.
Capital raising - The key catalyst: We believe the key triggers to watchout for MPL should be pick-up in execution in the development businessand building of an attractive asset portfolio to raise money. However, theseplans would fructify somewhere in 2HFY2013 only and will be based onmarket conditions prevailing then. Hence, we believe until then the stockwould perform in-line with peers and real value would be created only onunlocking at the subsidiary level. It should be noted that failing to raise moneywould stretch the company's already leveraged balance sheet (net D/E of1.3x as of 1HFY2012).
Valuations: We have assigned P/E of 5.0x on FY2013E standalone earnings(`23.5/share) and valued the BOT projects on DCF basis (`40.1/share)and other investments in Madhucon Infra and the real estate venture on BVbasis (`12.0/share and `2.0/share, respectively). At the CMP, the stock istrading at a discount to our SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀77, hence we maintainour Buy rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundCCCL was incorporated in 1997 by four ex-L&T professionals with over 20years of experience each in the construction sector. CCCL provides integratedturnkey construction services across four segments - industrial, commercial,infrastructure and residential. The commercial (42.9%) and infrastructure(46.3%) segments dominate the company's order book - `5,936cr (as of2QFY2012). The company majorly operates in southern India and, over thepast 4-5 years, CCCL has also increased its presence in the northern andwestern regions, albeit slowly.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: For CCCL, order visibility in the commercial segmentis mainly restricted to hospitals and educational institutions, but this segmentfaces stiff competition. In infrastructure space, the number of enquiries inthe power sector remains high but the conversion ratio is negligible. Henceorder inflow from both these segments is expected to be subdued forsome time. However, on the residential front, demand for low-costhousing and premium segment housing seems to be on the rise, which augurswell for CCCL.
Competitive position: The construction industry is fragmented in India withnumerous players, which results in immense competition, especially for jobsinvolving low technology and capital requirement. Thus, orders of smallerticket size (CCCL's market) face maximum competition, particularly duringthe slowdown.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Rate sensitive; Low entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsSlow-moving orders: As of 2QFY2012, of its total order book of `5,936cr,CCCL had ~`2,000cr (`1,000cr - power and metro projects each) worth ofslow-moving orders, which would keep its revenue growth under check forthe next few quarters.
EBITDAM to remain under pressure: Since the past few quarters, CCCLhas been reporting EBITDAM of 1.4-4.8%, owing to: 1) management's errorin estimating commodity prices for fixed price contracts; 2) high labor andprocurement costs; and 3) low-margin legacy orders. Further, as per management,pressure on EBITDAM is expected to remain for the next few quarters, whichcontinues to be an overhang on the stock.
Return ratios take a hit: In the past, CCCL has enjoyed superior returnratios, because of which the stock traded at a premium to its peers. Currently,the company's return ratios have taken a hit due its poor performance. Goingahead, we see pressure on return ratios to continue and expect some improvementonly in FY2013.
Valuations: CCCL is trading at PE of 11.0x FY2013E EPS, inspite of itspoor earnings visibility and a deteriorating business environment. Hence,we believe the stock is fairly valued and recommend a Neutral rating.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1998, IRB is the pioneer and one the largest players in theroad BOT business in India, with strong in-house integrated execution capabilities.IRB's road business can be divided into two verticals: 1) engineering andconstruction (E&C); and 2) toll collection and maintenance. The E&C armcomplements its BOT vertical and leads to time and cost control for projectsin hand/under development. IRB's current road portfolio comprises 18 projects- of which 10 are operational and eight are under construction/development.The company also has one airport project, which is at a very nascent stage;decent land bank; and one small wind mill project.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: IRB has a road BOT portfolio of 6,722 lane km, ofwhich 3,413 lane km is operational and the balance is under construction/development. Further, IRB has projects worth `5,218cr at RFP (request forproposal) and `35,304cr at RFQ (request for qualification) stages.
Competitive position: The road sector has witnessed the entry of manynew players during the past few quarters, which has led to aggressive bidding.Going ahead as well, we do not expect any significant moderation in theintensity of competition, given the lack of opportunities from the other partsof the economy. However, the fact that IRB has decent orders in hand insulatesit, to some extent, from the current competitive frenzy in the road segment.
Nature of business: Low entry barriers; Rate sensitive; Capital intensive.
Current Investment ArgumentsIntegrated business model: IRB's integrated business model ensures thetimely completion of projects, reduces its reliance on subcontractors andcontrols costs. Further, it allows capturing the entire value in the BOT developmentbusiness, including EPC margins, developer returns and operation andmaintenance (O&M) margins.
OB/Sales providing good revenue visibility: IRB achieved its yearly orderinflow guidance by winning the Ahmedabad Vadodara project and is stayingaway from current competition. The order book of `7,568cr, excluding O&Morders (4.5x FY2011 E&C revenue), lends good revenue visibility for thenext few years.
Negligible dependence on capital markets: As per our analysis, IRB hasan equity requirement of ~`2,148cr (FY2012-14E), and its internal accruals/support (cash flows from the E&C and BOT segments) would substantiallyfund this requirement. Further, the company would be able to keep its debtequity position within reasonable limits.
Valuations: At the CMP of `159, the stock is trading at a discount to ourFY2013E SOTP target price of `182/share - road BOT SPVs have beenvalued on DCF basis (FCFE method) (`61.4/share); the construction segmenthas been valued on 6.0x EV/EBITDA basis (`115.9/share); and its investmentshave been valued on 1x P/BV (`4.4/share). Hence, with a Buy rating, thestock is our top pick in the road sector.

Company BackgroundIL&FS Transportation Networks Ltd. (ITNL) was incorporated in 2000 byIL&FS as a transportation infrastructure company. The company is currentlyone of the largest private sector BOT road operators in India. Owing to thefinancial background of its promoters (IL&FS), ITNL, unlike peers does nothave own in-house construction arm and outsources construction work tothird-party contractors. In March 2008, ITNL commenced its internationaloperations through the acquisition of Elsamex S.A., a provider of maintenanceservices primarily for highways and roads in Spain and other European countries.Over the years, ITNL has also diversified into metro, bus and airportprojects - though they are very small contributors in terms of revenue.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In FY2011, ITNL had a market share of ~7% of roadprojects awarded by NHAI. Currently, ITNL has a portfolio of 7,026 lane km,of which 2,979 lane km is operational and the balance (4,047 lane km) isunder construction. Further, ITNL has a good bid pipeline with projects worth`61,412cr at RFQ (request for qualification) and `7,177cr at RFP (requestfor proposal) stages.
Competitive position: During the past few quarters, the road sector haswitnessed aggressive bidding due to the entry of many new players. We donot expect any significant moderation in competition, given the lack of opportunitiesfrom the other parts of the economy. However, ITNL has decided to stayaway from aggressive bidding to win projects, as it has a decent order bookin hand. Hence, we are not factoring in any major order inflows forFY2012-13, resulting in subdued growth numbers going ahead.
Nature of business: Low entry barrier; Rate sensitive; Capital intensive.
Current Investment ArgumentsSet to capitalize on emerging opportunities: ITNL is well poised to leverageon the growing opportunities in the road segment, owing to its: strongparentage and experienced management. Further, inspite of being diversifiedgeographically across India (presence in 14 states), outsourcing of constructionwork helps in timely and cost-effective operations.
Hedged revenue stream: We believe ITNL has a hedged road BOT assetportfolio currently, as it is bi-furcated equally into toll and annuity projects inrevenue terms. This relatively insulates the company from traffic-related revenuerisks and resultant chances of disappointment.
Valuations: At the CMP of `185, the stock is trading at a ~23% discountto our FY2013E SOTP target price of ̀ 227/share. We have valued the company'sinvestments on DCF/Mcap/BV basis and its construction segment has beenvalued on 6.0x EV/EBITDA basis. Hence, we maintain our Buy view onthe stock; however, given the high leverage on the company's balancesheet, we expect the stock to underperform IRB Infra.

Company BackgroundAshoka Buildcon (ABL) is an integrated road player involved in building andoperating roads and bridges in India on a BOT basis. The company is basedin Nashik, Maharashtra. The company's business is organized into four divisions:1) BOT division; 2) engineering and construction (E&C) division; 3) RMCand bitumen division; and 4) toll collection contract division. ABL, traditionallya state player, has transformed into a national player by winning four NHAIprojects totaling to a TPC of ~`5,156cr. ABL has executed 3,095 lane km(1,155 lane km - third party; and 1,941 lane km - captive), which makes itone of the most seasoned players in the road segment.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: ABL currently has a portfolio of 3,709 lane km - operational1,204 lane km and 2,505 lane km under construction/development. Goingahead, we believe ABL will be more conservative while bidding, owing to:1) strong order book in hand (`5,150cr 5.0x FY2011 C&EPC revenue) and2) focus on arranging the equity required for the current portfolio.
Competitive position: During the past few quarters, the road sector haswitnessed aggressive bidding due to the entry of many new players. Goingahead as well, we do not expect any significant moderation in competition,given the lack of opportunities from the other parts of the economy.
Nature of business: Low entry barriers; Rate sensitive; Capital intensive.
Current Investment ArgumentsIntegrated business model: ABL's integrated business model ensures timelycompletion of projects, reduces its reliance on subcontractors and controlscosts. In the past, many industry players have witnessed severe strain onthe financials and profitability of their projects because of their inability tocontrol these important factors. Even in current times, there are developerswho do not have an integrated business model and are dependent on contractorsfor construction activities, thus making them vulnerable.
Road sector, opportunities galore: Of the 49,254km of the planned NHunder the National Highways Development Project (NHDP), the NHAI isstill left with ~21,117km that has to be awarded. State highways andmega projects also provide a number of opportunities for road focused playerlike ABL.
Valuations: At the CMP of `195, the stock is trading at a discount to ourFY2013E SOTP target price of ̀ 245/share. The company's road BOT SPVshave been valued on NPV basis (`104/share). The construction segmenthas been valued at 5.0x EV/EBITDA basis (`141/share). Hence, we maintainour Buy recommendation on the stock; but given the expected increasein leverage on the balance sheet (consolidated net D/E is expected to risefrom 1.4x in FY2011 to 3.0x by FY2013E), owing to its commitments towardsthe current portfolio, we expect the stock to underperform IRB Infra.

Offering value... at a discountSize and growth of the M&E industry: The Indian media and entertainment(M&E) industry is expected to post a ~14% CAGR over CY2011-15 to ~`1,276bn.Within the M&E industry, television is expected to outperform print media,increasing its contribution to the overall industry’s revenue, from the current45.5% to 49.4% in CY2015E. Advertising revenue, the key driver duringCY2006-09,is likely to register a lower 13.6% CAGR over CY2010-14E, in-line with the recent slowdown in the economy. Radio and internet advertisingis likely to outperform the M&E industry's growth rate, owing to lower base,growing acceptability and being a cheaper platform for advertising.
Print media: The Indian print media sector contributed ~30% to the totalrevenue ( ̀ 1,276bn) of the Indian M&E industry. The sector registered a modest6.4% CAGR over CY2007-10 to `193bn, largely due to growth in advertisingand circulation, driven by rising penetration and new edition launches. Advertisementrevenue registered a 7.9% CAGR during the period. However, the sector'sperformance was adversely impacted during the current year, owing to highernewsprint prices and lower demand due to the economic slowdown, leadingto a decline in advertising growth rate.
The print media sector is expected to post a CAGR of 10% to `310bn byCY2015E. Advertising will increase its dominance as the primary revenuesource for the industry; it is expected to constitute 76% of the overall revenuein CY2015E from the current 65%. The segment's advertising revenue is expectedto report a higher CAGR of 13.3% compared to 2.1% CAGR in circulationrevenue, driven by rising spends across sectors once macroeconomic concernssubside.
Regional players to ride the print media sector's growth: Currently, Englishprint contributes ~40% to the total revenue of the sector. However, with growthaccelerating in the smaller towns and cities of India, especially Tier II and II Icities, regional print players are expected to benefit the most. Hindi print isestimated to grow faster than English print, leading to a reduction in ad premiumgap between English and Hindi.
Outlook and valuation: With improving scenario, we are factoring in bettervisibility in advertising spends (particularly FY2013E) as business confidencelevels restore and consumer spending rises. Further, higher stress on thedevelopment of Tier-II, III and rural markets is expected to drive the penetrationlevels of media segments. Swift action in terms of policymaking (CASimplementation, roll-out of Phase III radio licensing and revision of FDI caps)is likely to improve the investment environment for both domestic entrepreneursand foreign investors. Given the media sector's significant underperformanceand cheap valuations of the underlying stocks (Jagran Prakashan tradingat ~12.8x FY2013E earnings, against its five-year median of 21x),we expect the sector to outperform the broader markets going forward.

Abundant opportunities for regional print companies
Large untapped local ad market: Tier I I and II I cities of Indiaare on a growth path, whereby local advertisement marketswill see a surge in growth. Regional print companies are bestsuited to cater to their needs in these areas, wherein regionalplayers are customizing their editions towards local public throughsplit editions and city-specific supplements to meet localadvertisement demands.
Demographic catalyst: Regional print companies, unlike Englishnewspapers, have a niche clientele to be addressed in theirrespective geographies. This provides these players a competitiveadvantage over English dailies.
Regional print companies have an edge over English dailieswhen it comes to brand association in remote areas, makingthem the preferred choice among local and national advertisers.
Regional print companies are an effective mode of advertisingfor local educational institutes, real estate firms, and retail firms.Also, national advertisers like FMCG companies, consumer durablecompanies and auto companies invest a sizeable portion of
their ad spends in these companies.
Dependable platform of media: Regional print players, whohave been present in the market for a long period, are seen asa dependable source of information and have influencedgenerations in these markets, ensuring strong brand loyalty amongstreaders. Also, in Tier I I and III cities of India, digital media likethe internet is still at a nascent stage and is highly underpenetrated.This offers an advantage to regional players, as regional printis the main source of content in local and regional markets.
Television
The television sector registered a CAGR of 11.4% overCY2007-10 to ̀ 29700cr in CY2010, largely driven by advertising,which posted a robust CAGR of 12% during the period.Subscription revenue registered a modest CAGR of 11.4%during the period on the back of growth in subscriber base,following the advent of digital distribution platforms (DTH/CAS).However, carriage fee remains as one of the biggest concernsfor broadcasters, as channels increasingly compete for premiumplacements.

Company BackgroundDBCL is one of the leading publishing houses, with its newspapers cumulativelycommanding the highest readership and circulation in the country. The companypublishes seven newspapers and 64 editions in three languages (Hindi,Gujarati, Marathi and English) across 13 states in India. Dainik Bhaskar, itsflagship publication, is the market leader in terms of readership in MadhyaPradesh, Chattisgarh, Chandigarh and Haryana. DBCL's combined averagedaily readership of Dainik Bhaskar, Divya Marathi, Business Bhaskar, DivyaBhaskar and Saurashtra Samachar is 19.2mn readers, making it the mostwidely read newspaper group in India.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: DBCL has a relatively advertising-focused revenuemodel, and its multistate leadership ensures high advertising revenue. DainikBhaskar has a strong foothold in the Hindi belt. Divya Bhaskar contributessteady ~17% to the company's total revenue. According to IRS 3Q2011survey, DBCL increased its readership, with 4.9% ror growth over 2Q. DainikBhaskar reported strong growth of 7.7% in Chhattisgarh and 2% in MadhyaPradesh. The company recently forayed into Maharashtra, which is 1) thethird largest state with an average GDP growth rate of 14.5%, 2) per capitaincome of the state stands at a healthy `79,515, 3) the state has a highliteracy rate of 77% and a penetration gap of 71%, and 4) the state admarket is estimated at ~`700cr (excl. Mumbai) and is growing at 15% per year.
Competitive position: DBCL leads its nearest competitor in its market witha huge margin in terms of circulation. The company has made significantinroads in terms of expanding its footprints in the urban regions of MadhyaPradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab and Chandigarh, cementingits aggressive dominance in these markets in terms of readership.
Nature of business: Ad revenue cyclical; High brand loyalty; Significantentry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsWell-planned aggression edges DBCL over peers: We believe DBCL'scontinuous endeavors to diversify its print business coupled with aggressiveexpansion into new markets (urban towns beyond metros) backed by exhaustivemarket research and focus on achieving leadership is the key differentiatingfactor compared to its peers. The company has been successful in executingits expansion plans with launches in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Peg a 15% CAGR in ad revenue, new launches to contribute 2-3%: Weexpect ~15% yoy growth in ad revenue over FY2012E/FY2013E for DBCL(lower than FY2011 ad revenue growth) to factor in a slump in the macroeconomicenvironment and high base of FY2011.
Valuation: At the CMP of `̀̀̀̀185, DBCL is trading at attractive valuations of12x FY2013E consolidated EPS of `̀̀̀̀15.5. We maintain our Buy view on thestock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀274. Downside risks to our estimates include:any further rise in newsprint prices; competition becoming fierce; and higher-than-expected loss increase in the breakeven period of its new launches.

Company BackgroundHT Media (HTML) is the second largest print media company in terms ofreadership/circulation and the largest listed company in terms of revenue.The company's two key offerings, Hindustan Times and Hindustan, featurein the top five newspapers in their respective categories in terms of readership.The company is a market leader in Delhi (Hindustan Times), Bihar andJharkhand (Hindustan) and has emerged as a strong contender in the financialdaily segment (Mint).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Hindustan is the leading player in Bihar and Jharkhand,which are among the fastest growing states in India. In the past three years,Hindustan has grown by 37% with the addition of 32.8lakh readers. Also,with rising consumption in these markets, HT Media with its regional print isset to ride the growth path.
Competitive position: According to IRS 3Q2011 survey, Hindustan continuesto maintain its leadership position with 75% AIR share in Bihar and is thenumber one player in Jharkhand. AIR growth in UP and UT markets hasbeen one of the fastest in the print sector. Mint stood at the second positionin the business daily category with a 29% readership share.
Nature of business: Ad revenue cyclical; High brand loyalty; Significantentry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsSteady ad revenue growth, Burda JV to scale up the top line: HTMLrecorded impressive ad revenue during the quarter, with yoy growth of 12.5%and a robust 35.4% qoq increase in the English print and 24.5% yoy/18%qoq in the Hindi print segments, despite tough macroeconomic conditions.We estimate this growth in ad revenue to prolong with the English print(HT and Mint) and Hindi print (HMVL) businesses, posting CAGRs of ~12%and 18% over FY2011-13, respectively. Hindustan's ad revenue will growthe most in UP (we peg a CAGR of ~20% over FY2011-13), while HTMumbai will be the maximum growth driver for the English print's ad revenue(we peg a CAGR of ~13% over FY2011-13). Burda JV, which has recentlyachieved EBITDA breakeven, is likely to contribute ~`80cr in FY2012 and~`90cr in FY2013 to the company's top line.
New businesses continue to grow, expect OPM of ~18% overFY2011-13: In terms of operating performance, HTML's new businessescontinued to grow during the quarter (radio and internet gained traction).Going forward, we believe continuous improvement in ad yields will helpHTML post margins of ~18% during FY2012-13.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock trades at 13.9x FY23013E EPS. We maintainour Buy view on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀170. Downside risks toour estimates include - 1) any further rise in newsprint prices, 2) competitionbecoming fierce and 3) higher-than-expected losses/increase in the breakevenperiod of its new launches.

Company BackgroundDainik Jagran with AIR of ~16.4mn is the most read newspaper in Indiapublished by Jagran Prakashan (JPL). The company enjoys a leadership positionin Uttar Pradesh, the largest Hindi market for almost a decade now. Thecompany is present in the rapidly growing Hindi markets in Bihar, Delhi,Haryana, Jharkhand, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Apart from its commandingposition in print media, JPL is also involved in the internet, OOH and eventmanagement business.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: JPL is the leading player in Uttar Pradesh, where printmedia readership is estimated at less than 15%. With a leadership positionin Uttar Pradesh and the state's ad market pegged at ~`800cr, JPL is slatedto benefit first, once macroeconomic concerns start to fade. Further, regionalprint players are expected to benefit with increased focus of national advertiserson the growing regional ad market.
Competitive position: According to IRS 3Q2011 survey, Dainik Jagran continuesto maintain its leadership position with 16.5mn readers, growing by 0.4%qoq (3.2% yoy) in Uttar Pradesh. AIR in Uttar Pradesh stood at 9mn ascompared to 7mn for Amar Ujala. Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttaranchal alsoregistered modest growth as per the survey.
Nature of business: Ad revenue cyclical; High brand loyalty; Significantentry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsHealthy ad revenue growth on account of higher color inventory, peg a10% CAGR: For FY2012-13E, we expect ad revenue to grow by ~9% yoy.We maintain a conservative stance on management's robust guidance of14-15% yoy growth due to lower national advertisements (management guidance)and low pick-up in advertisements from the education sector (expect pressureto ease in 2HFY2012). Also, with upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh, thecompany will monetize its leadership position further.
Underperformance a good entry point; JPL attractive at 12.8x FY2013EEPS: JPL acquired the print business from Mid-Day Multimedia, whose presencein markets such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Pune (recently launched)is likely to fill the gap in JPL's portfolio vs. its peers HT Media (HT andHindustan) and DB Corp. (Dainik Bhaskar and DNA), who offer both Englishand Hindi publications to their advertisers. Hence, we believe JPL's combinedofferings are going to record a healthy 9% CAGR in revenue overFY2011-13E. With JPL's wider portfolio (including Mid-Day Publications),we believe the company is well poised to benefit from steady growth in printmedia. We believe the underperformance of the stock and attractivevaluations (at the CMP, the stock trades at 12.8x FY2013E EPS) providea good entry point for investors.

Company BackgroundPVR is one of India's leading multiplex cinema operators. The company isthe pioneer of the multiplex culture in the country, as it was the first to establisha multiplex cinema in India, PVR Anupam, in Saket, Delhi, in 1997. The companyis also present in the entertainment space through PVR Blu-O bowling alleys.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Increasing urbanization, changing consumer lifestyleand growing youth population in the country will drive growth of multiplexcompanies. Also, as compared to western developed countries, India issignificantly low in terms of number of movie screens/million.
Competitive position: PVR currently has 158 screens and 40,062 seats in36 properties. In 2QFY2012, occupancy level increased to 36% (30% in2QFY2011), ATP stood at ̀ 152 and footfalls increased to 7.1mn from 5.7mn.
Nature of business: Capital intensive; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsDe-risked business due to various entertainment offerings: PVR is presentacross the movie value chain (exhibition-production-distribution) and hasforayed into retail entertainment through PVR Blu-O, which is expected toshow strong growth going ahead. PVR's earnings are expected to registera CAGR of ~80% over FY2011-13E on incremental earnings from its newlyopened properties (further, it is likely to open a new property in 2HFY2012E),reduction in depreciation cost and an impressive movie pipeline.
Set for expansion: PVR has ambitious plans to open 55 new screens inFY2012 (keeping a conservative stance, we have factored in opening of 20screens in FY2012; however, opening of more than 20 screens in FY2012poses an upside risk to our estimates). For FY2012, we have factored in4,800 seat additions, resulting from four new properties.
Valuation: Due to over capacity and low occupancies, the sector is sufferingfrom low RoEs (PVR’s RoE also stands at low 7.2% in FY2013E). At theCMP, the stock is trading at 14x FY2013E EPS. We maintain our Neutralview on the stock.

Company BackgroundSun TV (STNL) is the leading broadcaster in the south Indian states of TamilNadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala. The company is promoted byKalanithi Maran. The group is present across the media value chain, viz.broadcasting, radio, films, cable distribution, DTH and print media. STNLhas the largest broadcasting network in South India, with 20 channels inthe GEC, kids, movies and news space. Besides TV broadcasting, STNLowns FM radio licenses for 45 cities. STNL has a strong movie library comprisingmore than 8,500 titles, with rights across all the four major south Indianlanguages. Apart from having an extensive movie library, STNL purchasesaround 90% of all movie releases in these languages.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: STNL has a leadership in the southern states, havinga combined ad market size of ~`2,700cr. Also, with increased income levels,consumption of media is bound to rise. Moreover, national advertisers arerecognizing the potential of regional players.
Nature of business: Ad revenue cyclical; High brand loyalty; Significantentry barriers for new players.
Competitive position: The southern regional markets of Tamil Nadu, AndhraPradesh, Karnataka and Kerala account for ~73% of the total regionaladvertisement revenue. STNL is well placed to ride the regional wave, withits dominant market share across lucrative southern markets through its bouquetof 20 channels across genres like GECs, music, news and movies, includingflagship channels - Sun TV (Tamil Nadu, market share 68%), Gemini TV(Andhra Pradesh, market share 36%), Udaya TV (Karnataka, market shareof 40%) and Surya TV (Kerala, market share of 33%).
Current Investment ArgumentsSTNL's ad revenue to be at par with regional advertising, we peg a 14%CAGR: During FY2011-13E, we peg STNL's ad revenue to post a 14%CAGR, at par with regional advertising during the period, driven by1) absorption of rate hikes (8-32% hike in ad rates across Tamil channelsand 6-43% in Telugu channels effective from January 2011 and another setof price hikes taken effective from April 2011); 2) increasing DTH subscriberbase; and 3) dominant position in South India, where competition is limited.
DTH to drive a 15.9% CAGR in pay revenue: During FY2011-13E, weexpect STNL to register a robust 15.9% CAGR in overall DTH revenue. Thedigitization drive across the nation and consumers shifting to superior-qualityDTH from cable television would also benefit STNL, as it is a known playerin South India (STNL receives ~60% of its revenue from Sun Direct). Weexpect STNL's DTH subscriber base to reach ~9mn by FY2013.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 13x FY2013E (below itsmedian of 23x). We remain positive on STNL's business, considering the company’svast dominance in its markets. We believe the recent not-in-favor incidentsstill are an overhang on the stock. Accordingly, we expect the stock price toremain range-bound. Hence, we remain Neutral on the stock.

Strong capacity expansion aheadDomestic demand to witness strong growth during CY2011-15: India'sper capita steel consumption stands at 46kg, compared to global averageper capita consumption of 198kg and China's per capita consumption of 427kg,implying a strong potential for increasing consumption going forward. Overthe past decade, steel consumption has grown at an average of 1.2x GDPgrowth. Going forward, with GDP expected to grow by 7-8%, we expect steeldemand to post a CAGR of 10% over the next decade.
Capacity expansion lined up to meet growth: Indian steelmakers have linedup strong expansion plans to meet the growing steel demand. Steel capacityis expected to increase from 78mn tonnes in FY2011 to 100mn tonnes byFY2014. Indian steelmakers enjoy a cost advantage over global peers onaccount of availability of iron ore at lower cost, captive iron ore mines and lowcost of labor.
Near-term outlook remains gloomy, although INR depreciation mutes pricedeclines: Globally, steel prices have declined by 12-20% during July-December2011. However, domestic steel prices remained flat on account of INR depreciationagainst the USD. Given that the spread between steel prices and key inputshas declined sharply, we believe steel companies' operating margins are closeto their bottom levels. Steel consumption in India grew by only 1.8% in 1HFY2012on account of subdued demand. Nevertheless, steel demand growth improvedto 7.7% yoy in 3QFY2012.
Aluminium capacity to leap-frog: India is ranked sixth among the countrieswith highest bauxite reserves. Indian bauxite reserves are expected to lastover 300 years, with proven and probable reserves estimated at ~1.2bn tonnes.However, India's aluminium capacity currently stands at only 1.5mn tonnes(~3.5% of world capacity).
Per capita consumption for aluminium is much lower in India compared todeveloped economies (2kg in India as compared to 22kg in the U.S.). Overthe past decade, aluminium consumption has grown at an average of 1.4xGDP growth. Going forward, with GDP expected to grow by 7-8%, we expectaluminium demand to witness a CAGR of 12% over the next decade. Hence,Hindalco aims to ramp up its capacity from 0.5mn tonnes to 1.5mn tonnes infour years, while Sterlite aims to ramp up its capacity from 0.7mn tonnes to2.5mn tonnes over the medium term.
Weakening INR softens price decline for domestic base metal players:Base metal prices have also declined by 15-20% during 3QFY2012 on accountof escalating Eurozone debt crisis. Although base metal prices are likely toremain under pressure in the near term due to concerns on growth, high costof production should lend support to prices. While the copper market is strugglingwith supply constraints, downside for aluminium prices is capped due to highenergy cost. Moreover, INR depreciation against the USD would partially offsetthe impact of lower LME prices for domestic players.
Selective stocks look attractive: Metal stocks have been battered over thepast one year on account of escalating Eurozone debt crisis, subdued domesticdemand and rising input costs without the corresponding increase in finishedproduct prices. Nevertheless, we believe the recent decline has left some ofthe stocks undervalued. We like companies with captive resources, strong visibilityover expansion plans, low leverage levels and compelling valuations. Hence,our top picks are NMDC, Tata Steel, Sterlite Industries and Hindustan Zinc.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1907, Tata Steel is the world's tenth largest steel companyand the world's second most geographically diversified steel producer withmajor operations in India and Europe. During April 2007, the company acquiredCorus (now Tata Steel Europe), the second largest steel producer in Europe,for US$12bn. The company’s India operations capacity stands at 6.8mntonnes, while its European operations capacity stands at 16.0mn tonnes.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: With domestic steel demand expected to increase ata CAGR of 10% over the coming decade, Tata Steel aims to ramp up itsdomestic capacity from 6.8mn tonnes currently to 15.9mn tonnes by FY2015.
Competitive position: The company's India operations are one of thelowest-cost producers of steel, as they are backed by captive mines (100%integration for iron ore and 50% integration for coking coal). However, thecompany's European operations have a higher cost of production as theydo not have captive iron ore/coking coal mines.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Any change in global prices of steel and keyinputs (iron ore and coking coal) has a direct bearing on the company'sprofitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsExpansion plans on track: Tata Steel is expanding its domestic capacity atits Jamshedpur plant from 6.8mn tonnes to 9.7mn-tonnes. The plant is expectedto be commissioned by 4QFY2012. We expect this expansion to contributeover `2,500cr p.a. to the company's consolidated EBITDA, once the newplant reaches optimum capacity utilization. Further, the company's expansionplans of setting up a 6mn-tonne integrated steel plant in two phases of 3mntonnes each in Odisha for a capex of `34,500cr are also on track. All ofthese expanded facilities will be backed by captive iron ore.
Higher integration levels for Tata Steel Europe (TSE) to boost earnings:Tata Steel is in the process of developing a coking coal mine in Mozambiqueand an iron ore mine in Canada to enhance integration levels of TSE. Theprojects are expected to be commissioned in phases, beginning from 2HFY2012,resulting in 20% integration for coking coal and 10% integration for ironore. We expect these backward-integration strategies at Mozambique andCanada to boost TSE's earnings from 2HFY2013E.
Valuation: The stock is currently trading at 5.6x and 4.6x FY2012E andFY2013E EV/EBITDA, compared to its five-year average EV/EBITDA of 7.2x.We continue to like Tata Steel on the back of its upcoming brownfield capacityin India and restructuring initiatives at its European operations. Hence,we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with an SOTP targetprice of `̀̀̀̀510.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1973, SAIL is one of the leading steelmaking companies inIndia with an annual steel production capacity of 13.5mn tonnes. Major plantsowned by SAIL are located at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela, Burnpurand Salem. The company's steel plants are fully backed by captive iron oremines. SAIL has a Navratna status; thus, it enjoys significant operationaland financial autonomy. During February 2011, SAIL received clearancesfor Chiria iron ore mines, which have proven reserves of 1.8bn tonnes.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: With domestic steel demand expected to witness aCAGR of 10% over the next decade, SAIL aims to almost double its capacityto benefit from this demand by FY2015E.
Competitive position: Although the company's operations are backed bycaptive iron ore mines, its high employee costs result in high conversioncost of steel.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Changes in the global prices of steel andcoking coal (key input) have a direct bearing on the company's profitability.The company derives 30% of coking coal requirement from Coal India, whileit imports 70% of its coking coal requirement from Australia.
Current Investment ArgumentsVolume growth to double, albeit in 2-3 years: SAIL is expected to increaseits saleable steel production capacity from 13.5mn tonnes to 23.1mn tonnesby FY2015E for a capex of `70,000cr. We expect robust profitability fromthese plants, with captive iron ore backing the upcoming steel expansion.Also, we expect SAIL's older loss-making plants to be modernized as partof its modernization program. Post the expansion and modernization of thesteel plants, SAIL will also benefit from the improvement in its product mix.However, SAIL has reported delays in some of these projects by one year.We do not rule out further delays and cost overruns in its expansion plans.
Cost pressures to persist: SAIL reported disappointing profitability during1HFY2012 on account of higher input, power, fuel and staff costs.The company’s 1HY2012 operating margins average 11.0% compared toaverage of 16.2% in 1HFY2011. Going forward, we expect these cost pressuresto persist, which are expected to keep margin improvement muted in FY2012E.Further, we do not expect any meaningful rise in steel prices in the nearterm. Nevertheless, declining coking coal prices (partially offset by INRdepreciation against the USD) should benefit the company’s margins slightly.
Valuation: The stock is currently trading at 7.9x and 5.6x FY2012E andFY2013E EV/EBITDA, significantly higher than its peers. Moreover, the companyhas reported delays and cost overruns in most of its expansion projects.Hence, we have a Neutral view on the stock.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1994, JSW Steel is India's second largest private sectorsteel maker with a steel making capacity of 11mn tonnes. The company hasthe most modern, eco-friendly steel plants with the latest technologies forboth upstream and downstream processes. The company has an iron oremine in Karnataka, which fulfills 15% of its requirement (temporarily shutdown due to mining ban in Karnataka). During FY2011, the company acquired49% stake in Ispat Industries for an enterprise value of US$3bn; the combinedcapacity of both the companies stands at 14mn tonnes.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: JSW Steel had expanded its capacity by 3.2mn tonnes(completed during 1QFY2012), taking its total capacity to 11mn tonnes -the benefits of which will be fully reflected in FY2013. Further, the companyaims to expand its steel capacity in Vijaynagar plant from 10mn tonnes to12mn tonnes by FY2014.
Competitive position: Although the company does not have significant captiveresources, its conversion cost is one of the lowest in India on account oflarge-scale production. With capacity expansion at its Vijaynagar plant (from10mn tonnes to 12mn tonnes), we expect the company to reap the benefitsof economies of scale, which is expected to lower unit cost of steel production.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Changes in the global prices of steeland key inputs (iron ore and coking coal) have a direct bearing on the company'sprofitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsUtilization levels to improve going forward: JSW Steel's Vijaynagar plantoperated at low utilization levels (30-60%) during 2QFY2012 due to shortageof iron ore on the back of ban in iron ore mining in Karnataka. However, weexpect mining operations to be restored gradually (in 3-6 months), whichwill result in improved iron ore supplies. Thus, we model utilization levels of77% and expect sales volume growth of 22.3% for FY2013. Further,commissioning of the beneficiation plant during FY2012 is expected to loweriron ore cost for the company. We expect domestic iron ore prices to remainfirm; hence, sourcing of low-grade iron ore fines will reduce the impact ofincreasing iron ore costs.
Valuation: The stock is currently trading at a 4.9x and 3.6x FY2012E andFY2013E EV/EBITDA, compared to its five-year historical average of 7.4x.On P/BV basis, the stock is trading at 0.9x and 0.8x FY2012E and FY2013E,respectively. Moreover, considering the anticipated improvement in utilizationin FY2013, we recommend an Accumulate rating on the stock with atarget price of `̀̀̀̀699.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in January 1983, Bhushan Steel is India's third largest secondarysteel producer company with an existing steel production capacity of2.2mn tonnes. The company is the largest auto-grade steelmaker in Indiaand specializes in manufacturing value-added flat products. The companyhas three manufacturing units in India – Uttar Pradesh (Sahibabad unit),Maharashtra (Khopoli unit) and Odisha (Meramandali unit) – and a strongsales network across many countries.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Bhushan Steel is on the verge of a massive expansionplan to ramp up its steel capacity. The company has already completedPhase-I and Phase-II during FY2010 and FY2011, respectively, wherein itsprimary steelmaking capacity was raised from 0.9mn tonnes to 2.2mn tonnes.Going forward, the company is expected to commission Phase-III duringOctober 2012, wherein it will increase its capacity from 2.2mn tonnes to4.7mn tonnes by FY2014.
Competitive position: The company does not have a captive iron ore orcoal mines; thus, its profitability is affected by any increase in iron ore andcoal prices.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Change in the global prices of steel and keyinputs (iron ore and coal) have a direct bearing on the company's profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsVolume growth sweetened by increasing EBITDA/tonne: With thecommissioning of Bhushan Steel's Phase-III expansion plan, we expect thecompany's sales volume to grow at a 24.8% CAGR over FY2011-15E, muchhigher than its peers. Despite lack of captive iron ore and coal mines, BhushanSteel’s cost of production is expected to be lower than other non-integratedproducers due to a) combination of BF-EAF technology to produce steeland b) lower conversion costs. The usage of BF-EAF technology is expectedto result in lower coal costs.
Debt equity ratio at uncomfortable level for a non-integrated commodityproducer: Bhushan Steel's debt-equity ratio stood at 2.8x as of March 31,2011. Going forward, on the back of massive expansion plans, the company'sdebt-equity ratio is expected to remain high at 2.8x and 2.4x for FY2012and FY2013, respectively, which exposes the company to a huge financialrisk in case of sharp decline in steel prices.
Valuation: Although we expect, the company’s production and sales volumeto grow to 4.1mn tonnes in FY2015 from 1.6mn tonnes in FY2011,we remain concerned over its high debt levels. Further, at the CMP,the stock is trading at 10.0x FY2012E and 8.7x FY2013E EV/EBITDA,a significant premium to its peers. Hence, we recommend a Reduce ratingon the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀293 (valuing the stock at 8.4x FY2013EEV/EBITDA).

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1990, Monnet Ispat and Energy (MIL) principally manufacturessponge iron (capacity - 1.0mn tonnes), ingots (capacity - 0.3mn tonnes),structural steel (capacity - 0.2mn tonnes) and ferro alloys (capacity - 58ktpa).MIL has a captive coal mine (reserves - 90mn tonnes; production - 1.2mntonnes) for production of sponge iron. The company's plants are located inRaipur and Raigarh in Chhattisgarh. The company has been allocated severalcoal blocks such as Gare Palma IV/5, Urtan North, Rajgamar and Mandakini- which are under various stages of clearances.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: MIL is setting up a 1.5mn-tonne steel-melting-shopfacility (downstream) alongwith finishing lines and 0.6mn tonnes of a pigiron plant. Total capex for the project is pegged at `4,000cr. The plant isexpected to begin progressive commissioning in mid-FY2013E. However,full benefits of these facilities would be witnessed in FY2014E. Also, thecompany has acquired two coal assets in Indonesia during CY2011. Thecompany aims to commence production from these mines in FY2013E. MILtargets production of ~5m tonnes of coal once it reaches full capacity.
Competitive position: Although the company's sponge iron operations arebacked by a captive non-coking coal mine, MIL lacks integration for ironore.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Global changes in the prices of steel andiron ore (key input) have a direct bearing on the company's profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsSignificant value unlocking lies ahead in Monnet Power: MIL is settingup a 1,050MW (2x525) power plant through Monnet Power. The plant isbeing set up at a cost of `5,000cr, with equity contribution of `1,200cr andthe balance being funded through debt. MIL has diluted a 12.5% stake toBlackstone for a consideration of `275cr, thus valuing the total equity stakeat `2,200cr. We expect the plant to be operational in FY2014E. With acaptive coal block (Utkal B-2) backing this project, we expect robust profitabilityfrom the power business.
Valuation: MIL is on the verge of a massive expansion in its steel and powerbusinesses. Although there could be some delays in the commencement ofthe power plant, it is backed by captive coal. The stock is currently tradingat 6.3x FY2013E EV/EBITDA, below its five-year historical tradingrange of 7.5x. Given the strong visibility over its expansion plans,we recommend Buy on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀528,valuing the steel business at 5.0x FY2013E EV/EBITDA and investmentin Monnet Power at 2.0x P/BV.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in November 1958, government-owned NMDC is India's largestiron ore producer with a capacity of 36mn tonnes. The company operateshigh-grade iron ore mines at Kirandul and Bacheli in Chhattisgarh and Donimalaiin Karnataka. The average mine life of NMDC is 38 years currently.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: With India’s steel capacity expected to grow from 78mntonnes in FY2011 to 100mn tonnes by FY2014, NMDC’s iron ore miningcapacity is expected to witness a CAGR of 11.0% over FY2011-15 to reapthe benefits of steel capacity expansion as production of 1 tonne of steelrequires ~1.8 tonnes of iron ore. Further, NMDC is setting up a 3mn-tonnesteel plant along with Russian steelmaker Severstal by FY2015E.
Competitive position: NMDC enjoys high margins compared to its peersdue to high-grade captive iron ore mines and low-cost production.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Change in iron ore price has a direct bearingon the company's profitability. However, NMDC is less affected by fluctuationsin iron ore prices as it sells iron ore in the domestic market at a discount(30-50%) to global prices.
Current Investment ArgumentsTargets production of 40mn tonnes by FY2014-15E: Management aimsto ramp up the company's production capacity to 40mn tonnes byFY2014-15E through increased exploration of its existing mines and developmentof new mines, i.e., Deposit 11B and Deposit 13 in Bailadila and Kumaraswany,respectively, in Karnataka. We expect NMDC's sales volume to post a CAGRof 11% during FY2011-13E.
Strong balance sheet could pave way for overseas acquisitions: DuringSeptember 2011, NMDC purchased a 50% stake in Australia-based LegacyIron Ore (Legacy) as a cornerstone investor for `92cr. Also, the company iscurrently prospecting various mining assets, including an iron ore mine anda phosphate mine in Australia, an iron ore mine in Brazil and a coking coalasset in Russia. With a strong balance sheet having net cash of `20,725cr(September 30, 2011), we do not rule out the company acquiring moremining assets overseas. However, given that NMDC is a government-ownedcompany, we do not foresee a big-ticket acquisition.
Valuation: Over the past five years, NMDC has traded at an averageEV/EBITDA of 13.7x, compared to its current valuation of 3.6x FY2013EV/EBITDA. Strong balance sheet, presence in sellers market (iron ore),relative immunity to iron ore price declines, low cost of production,high-grade mines, long mine life and compelling valuations make NMDC anattractive bet at these levels. Valuing the stock at 5.5x FY2013E EV/EBITDA,we derive a fair price of `̀̀̀̀231 and recommend a Buy rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1965, Sesa Goa's primary business includes mining andexporting of iron ore. The company has mining operations in Goa and Karnatakawith total reserves of 306mn tonnes and mining capacity of 22mn tonnes.Sesa Goa also operates a metallurgical coke division (capacity - 0.6mntonnes). In 2007, Vedanta Resources, a diversified metals and mining group,acquired 51% controlling stake in Sesa Goa from Mitsui & Co. Ltd.During CY2011, Sesa Goa acquired a 20% stake in oil-producer Cairn Indiafor ~`13,000cr.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Sesa Goa had obtained a Prospecting License in CY2005from the Jharkhand government and applied for a mining lease during 2009.Iron ore reserves in these mines are estimated to be ~60mn tonnes. Althoughthe commencement of production looks unlikely in the near term, there couldbe potential volumes from these mines over the medium term.
Competitive position: Sesa Goa has low cost of production at its Goamines (contributes 80% to its volumes). However, its iron ore realizationdepends on global prices.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Any change in global iron ore price has adirect bearing on the company's profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsCommencement of operations in Karnataka to drive volume growth:During 1QFY2012, the Supreme Court had imposed a blanket ban in Karnataka(capacity - 6mn tonnes), where Sesa Goa operated its mines. The minesare currently being inspected for any irregularities. We expect the SupremeCourt to lift the ban in the coming three-six months and, henceforth,Sesa Goa should restart production. Thus, commencement from Karnatakamines could restore its FY2013E volumes to FY2011 levels of 21mn tonnes.
Western Cluster Ltd. (WCL) - A long-term story: During August 2011,Sesa Goa acquired a 51% stake in WSL, Liberia, for a cash considerationof US$90mn (~`400cr). WCL will develop the Western Cluster Iron oreproject in Liberia, which includes development of iron ore deposits and therequired infrastructure for iron ore export. WCL has potential iron ore resourcesof over 1bn tonnes (~330mn tonnes of saleable product); it is in close proximityto the existing port infrastructure and has access to land for railway corridor.Sesa Goa aims to commence production from this mine in 3-4 years.
Valuation: The stock is currently trading at an EV/EBITDA of 4.5x each forFY2012E and FY2013E EV/EBITDA, compared to its five-year historicalaverage of 5.5x. We believe the current stock price discounts negativessuch as acquisition of a minority stake in the unrelated oil business via acquisitionof Cairn India's stake, increased export duty and railway freight and lowervolumes from Goa mines. Hence, we recommend an Accumulate ratingon the stock with an SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀208.

Company BackgroundCoal India (CIL), a Navratna company, is the largest coal producing companyin the world, based on its raw coal production (431mn tonnes in FY2011).The company is also the largest coal reserve holder in the world, based onits reserve base (18bn tonnes). The company caters to large thermal powergeneration companies, steel and cement producers and other industrialcompanies in the public and private sector.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: As per Ministry of Coal, Indian demand for coal isexpected to grow from 625mn tonnes in FY2011 to 886mn tonnes in FY2015,considering the growth in user industries (power, cement and metals).To cater to this rising demand, CIL aims to increase its production at afaster pace over the medium term. However, CIL is facing constraints toramp up its production currently on account of stricter stance on environmentalissues by the government. Also, in order to improve its margins, CIL aims toincrease the current capacity of its benficiation plants from 22mn tonnes to111mn tonnes by FY2017.
Competitive position: CIL enjoys ~81% share in India's coal productionand has virtual monopoly in the Indian market.
Nature of business: The company sells ~80% of its production to powercompanies, whose business is stable. Also, CIL is not exposed to significantcoal price fluctuations as it sells coal at a significant discount (10-30%) toglobal benchmark prices.
Current Investment ArgumentsProduction growth to remain muted in the near term: We expect CIL'sproduction to grow by only 6.7% and 3.4% in FY2012 and FY2013, respectively,on account of the imposition of stringent environmental laws byregulatory authorities. On the sales volumes front, the company is currentlyfacing shortage of railway rakes, despite improvement in availability of railwayrakes during FY2012.
Lower e-auction sales could hit margins: CIL sells 11-12% of its totalvolumes via e-auction, which commands a premium of 80-150% over regulatedcoal prices. However, during 2QFY2012, CIL diverted some portion of coal(meant for e-auction) to power producers at lower rates. Although CIL hasresumed e-auction sales post 2QFY2012, any further diversion of e-auctioncoal to power producers at lower rates could hit the company's margins.
Valuation: We believe the probability of raising coal prices by CIL fromcurrent levels is low in the near term. Also, we believe the company is unlikelyto meet its production and offtake targets for FY2012E. Moreover, consideringthe current valuation of 9.0x FY2013E EV/EBITDA, we recommend a Neutralrating on the stock.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1962, MOIL is the largest producer of manganese ore byvolume (~50% of India's production) in India with a capacity of 1.1mn tonnesand reserves of 22mn tonnes (constituting 16% of India's manganese reserves).Based on its current production, MOIL has a mine life of 20 years. MOILproduces high, medium and low-grade manganese ore. All its mines arelocated in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, benefiting from the well-developedroad and rail infrastructure of these states. MOIL is also actively involved inexploration and development activities to increase its reserves.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: With steel capacity expected to grow from 78mn tonnesin FY2011 to 100mn tonnes by FY2014, MOIL is expanding its capacity ata CAGR of 10.7% over FY2011-2015 as production of 1 tonne of steelrequires ~33kg of manganese ore.
Competitive position: MOIL enjoys a market share of ~50% in India. Althoughthe company is one of the lowest cost producers, it faces threat of importsfrom other countries.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Change in global manganese ore price has adirect bearing on MOIL's profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsProduction capacity to expand, albeit gradually: MOIL has started expandingits existing mines to augment its production capacity to 1.5mn tonnes byFY2015 from 1.0mn tonnes in FY2011. Also, the company has entered intoJVs with SAIL and Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd. (RINL) to set up two ferroalloy plants in Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. The proposedinstalled capacity in case of the JV with SAIL is 1,06,000 tonnes and thatin case of RINL is 57,500 tonnes. The plants are expected to be commissionedin CY2013.
Steep decline in manganese ore prices: Manganese ore prices have slumpedby over 40% since January 2011 on account of oversupply in global markets.Going forward, we do not expect any meaningful increase in manganeseore prices until there is sharp de-stocking globally. Although we expect salesvolume growth of 10.0% yoy in FY2012, lower realizations are expected toresult in margin contraction during FY2012.
Valuation: The stock is currently trading at 4.1x and 3.4x FY2012E andFY2013E EV/EBITDA. Although the company's sales volumes are expectedto post a CAGR of 8-10% during FY2011-15, we do not foresee any meaningfulrise in manganese ore prices in the coming year. Hence, we recommendNeutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1966, Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (HZL), a subsidiary of SterliteIndustries, is a vertically integrated company with its mining and smeltingoperations located mainly in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh. HZL's currentzinc reserves stand at 34.1mn tonnes with a production capacity of 1.1mntonnes of zinc p.a., indicating a mine life of 31 years. HZL currently operatesthree underground mines, namely Sindesar Khurd, Rajpura Dariba, and ZawarMines, and one open cast mine, Rampura Agucha Mine.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: HZL is expanding its silver-rich zinc mine at SindesarKhurd, which is expected to result in robust growth in zinc (8.0% CAGRover FY2011-13) and silver volumes (38.0% CAGR over FY2011-13). Further,given its cash-rich balance sheet, the company is searching for the next legof growth.
Competitive position: The company has high-grade zinc-lead mines;It is one of the lowest-cost producers of zinc-lead in the world.
Nature of business: Cyclical. Change in global prices of zinc, lead andsilver have a direct bearing on its profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsMining in Kayar could be the next phase of growth: Since expansion atSindesur Khurd is nearing its completion, HZL has now commenced workat its underground Kayar mine, which has 11mn tonnes of high-grade reserves(10-12% zinc content). The company aims to mine 1mn tonnes per year,once it is fully operational. Further, HZL is currently exploring over 6,200sq. km. area in 10 Reconnaissance Permits. In the past seven years, thecompany's exploration activities have resulted in addition of 167mn tonnesof ore (net of depletions) to its reserve and resource base.
Current zinc prices below the marginal cost of production: Zinc priceshave declined by ~20% during the past six months on account of sovereigndebt crisis in Europe. At current levels of US$2,000/tonne, zinc prices arearound the marginal cost of production for many mines across the world.Hence, we believe probability of a further decline from these levels is low.
Valuation: Despite the recent decline in zinc price, we expect HZL's netprofit to grow by 21.8% and 7.4% yoy in FY2012E and FY2013E, respectively;on account of expansion of its zinc-lead smelting capacity. Furthermore, thecompany's balance sheet remains strong with cash and equivalents at ̀ 16,255cras of December 31, 2011 (cash per share - `38.4). At the CMP, the stockis trading at 4.0x FY2013E EV/EBITDA, a discount to its five-year historicalaverage of 4.6x. Hence, we recommend Accumulate on the stock with atarget price of `̀̀̀̀142.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1975, Sterlite Industries India Ltd. (Sterlite) is India's largestnon-ferrous metals and mining company. The company produces zinc, leadand silver through its 65%-owned subsidiary, Hindustan Zinc (HZL),with zinc production capacity of 1.1mn tonnes. HZL contributes ~80% toSterlite's consolidated EB ITDA. Sterlite also produces aluminium(capacity - 0.7mn tonnes including its associate Vedanta Aluminium). Thecompany also has world-class copper smelting and refining operations (capacity- 0.4mn tonnes). In February 2011, Sterlite, through its wholly owned subsidiary,Sterlite Infra, acquired 100% stake in Namibian Skorpian mines for US$707mn.Skorpion mines have reserves and resources of 8.7mn tonnes of zinc andlead.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The company is expanding its copper smelting operationsfrom 0.4mn tonnes to 0.8mn tonnes by FY2013. Also, the company aims toramp up aluminium production from 0.7mn tonnes currently to 2.5mn tonnes(although the timeframe is unclear currently). The allocated coal block forits aluminium operations have received forest stage-1 clearance. The companyexpects to get forest stage-2 clearance by 4QFY2012 and, thereafter,it can commence production in two quarters. Also, Sterlite is expanding thepower capacity at its aluminium operations from the current levels of 1,470MWto 3,870MW.
Competitive position: Although the company's fortunes are related to theincrease/decrease in global non-ferrous metal prices, it is one of thelowest-cost zinc producers in the world. However, its cost of production foraluminium and power is high due to lack of captive bauxite and coal mines.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Any change in global zinc, lead and aluminiumprices as well as domestic power tariffs has a direct bearing on the company'sprofitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsZinc-lead expansion and power to aid growth: As mentioned in our investmentarguments for HZL, it is expanding its silver-rich zinc mine at Sindesar Khurd,which is expected to result in robust growth in zinc (8.0% CAGR overFY2011-13E) and silver volumes (38.0% CAGR over FY2011-13E).
Sterlite Energy Limited (SEL) to reach full production capacity in FY2013:Sterlite is setting up a 2400MW power plant for commercial operations viaits subsidiary, SEL. SEL has already commissioned two units of 600MWeach at Jharsuguda. SEL will synchronize the remaining two units of 600MWeach during 4QFY2012, the benefits of which will be witnessed in FY2013.
Valuation: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 3.2x FY2012E and 2.5x FY2013EEV/EBITDA, a significant discount to its five-year historical average of 7.1x.On P/BV basis, the stock is trading at 0.8x and 0.7x FY2012E and FY2013E,respectively. Hence, we recommend Buy on the stock with an SOTP targetprice of `̀̀̀̀147 (65% of value is derived from HZL).

Company BackgroundIncorporated in 1958, Hindalco is one of the world's largest aluminium rollingcompanies and one of biggest producers of primary aluminium in Asia.The company is also into copper smelting and has one of the world's largestcustom copper smelter with a capacity of 0.5mn tonnes (non-integrated).The company’s aluminium operations in India have a capacity of 0.5mn tonneswith captive bauxite mines (reserves - 443mn tonnes). During February 2007,Hindalco acquired Novelis for US$6bn, making the combined entity the world'slargest rolled-aluminium producer. Novelis has a market share of ~17% inthe global flat-rolled aluminium product market. In FY2011, Novelis’ salesvolume stood at 2.7mn tonnes of aluminium products.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Hindalco aims to expand its India operationsthree-fold over the next four years, with per capita consumption of aluminiumin India being one of the lowest (2kg compared to 22kg in the U.S.) andanticipated 12% growth in aluminium demand in the coming decade.
Competitive position: Hindalco's India aluminium operations enjoyhigher margins compared to global peers as its operations arebacked by captive bauxite and coal mine (which contribute ~75% to Hindalco'sstandalone EBIT).
Nature of business: Cyclical; High capital requirements and difficultyin securing bauxite and coal mines pose significant entry barriers fornew players.
Current Investment ArgumentsAluminium capacity to increase three-folds in the next four years: Hindalcoaims to increase its aluminium capacity by almost three-folds in the nextfour years to 1.5mn tonnes. Consequently, we expect production and salesvolume to record significant growth over FY2011-14E. All of these newcapacities will be backed by captive bauxite and coal mines; however, thereis lack of clarity on production from Mahan coal block on account of environmentalissues currently.
Novelis to expand its capacity: Novelis plans to increase its capacity by~20% by FY2014E. Capacity at its Pinda operations in Brazil is being increasedby ~220kt, while the balance will be through debottlenecking (a 3-4% increasein capacity every year). We expect steady EBITDA of ~US$1bn per yearfrom Novelis, given its stable conversion business.
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading at FY2012E and FY2013EEV/EBITDA of 5.5x and 5.1x, respectively, compared to its five-year historicalaverage of 6.8x. On P/BV basis, the stock is trading at 0.9x and 0.8x FY2012Eand FY2013E, respectively. Moreover, given the strong visibility over its expansionplans, we recommend Accumulate on the stock with an SOTP targetprice of `̀̀̀̀162.

Company BackgroundNalco, a Navratna company, is one of India's largest aluminium producerand has Asia's largest integrated aluminium complex. The company engagesinto alumina refining (capacity - 2.1mn tonnes), aluminium smelting(capacity - 0.7mn tonnes) and power generation (capacity - 1,200MW).Nalco has a captive bauxite mine at Panchpatmalli with a mining capacity of6.3mn tonnes p.a. The company also sells excess power. Nalco exports itsproducts to Southeast Asia, Far East, Indian subcontinent, Gulf, Chinaand the U.S.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Nalco aims to diversify into the power, copper anduranium businesses. The company also aims to set up aluminium projects inAndhra Pradesh and Indonesia. However, these plans are still at anascent stage.
Competitive position: Although the company has captive bauxite mines toproduce aluminium, its costs are relatively higher on account of higher employeeand power costs.
Nature of business: Cyclical; High capital requirements and difficulty insecuring bauxite and coal mines pose significant entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsMargins to remain under pressure: Nalco has been facing coal supplyissues, which have disrupted its operations in the past four quarters. Thecompany sources its annual coal requirement from Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd.,but the supply is not evenly distributed. In our view, the company's powercosts will remain high on account of rise in coal prices domestically andINR depreciation against the USD (which increases the cost of importedcoal). Further, prices of other key raw materials, such as caustic soda andcarbon, have also increased during FY2012E. These factors along with asteep decline in global aluminium price (~20%)during June-December 2011are expected to result in a decline in Nalco's margins during FY2012E.
Limited growth visibility: Nalco aims to diversify into other businesses suchas power and mining other metals. However, there is little clarity on its proposedexpansion plans, as they are in various stages of financial closure and significantprogress is yet to be made.
Valuations: The stock is currently trading at FY2012E and FY2013E EV/EBITDA of 6.6x and 4.0x, respectively, compared to its five-year historicalaverage of 6.8x. On P/BV basis, the stock is trading at FY2012E and FY2013Eof 1.2x and 1.1x, respectively. However, given the limited visibility over itsexpansion plans and the recent rise in cost of production, we recommendNeutral on the stock.

Gas reforms to address ballooning demandIndia set to become a top refining hub: Currently, India is the fifth largestrefining country in the world, accounting for ~4% of the world's refining capacity.India's exports of refined petroleum products stood at 50mn tonnes duringFY2011. RIL, with ~30% of India's refining capacity, accounts for more than70% share in the exports of refined petroleum products from India. Goingforward, India's refinery capacity is expected to increase from 193mn tonnesin FY2011 to 239mn tonnes by FY2015. Hence, India's exports of refinedpetroleum products are expected to rise to 70mn tonnes by FY2014, makingit one of the world's major exporters of refined petroleum products.
Gas demand to remain strong in India; increase in regulated gas pricesto encourage supplies: India's per capita consumption of gas stands at 50kgoecompared to world average of 450kgoe. Currently, gas constitutes only 11%of India's energy basket compared to 25% of the global energy basket, providingscope to increase gas penetration. Domestic gas demand witnessed a 13.5%CAGR during FY2007-11; and going forward as well, gas demand is expectedto post a CAGR of 10-12% over the medium term.
The key constraint has been on the supply front. Gas supplies have declinedin the past one year on account of a steep fall in production from KG-D6basin (average of 39mmscmd in December 2011 compared to average of55mmscmd in December 2010), which constitutes ~35% of India's total gasproduction. This has resulted in increased demand-supply gap for natural gas.One of the key reasons discouraging oil majors to increase their gas productionwas irrational (lower) APM (administered price mechanism) gas pricing. However,during May 2010, the government increased APM prices from US$1.8/mmbtuto US$4.2/mmbtu. Despite this increase, current domestic prices are at asignificant discount to international prices. ONGC sells gas to the prioritysector at US$4.2/mmbtu and to the non-priority sector at US$4.2-5.3/mmbtucompared to international LNG price of US$11-14/mmbtu. RIL and ONGChave been demanding higher prices for some of their upcoming productionblocks as the current price of US$4.2-5.7/mmbtu is unviable to undertakeproduction from certain blocks.
Hence, going forward, to boost investments in exploratory blocks, the governmentis expected to take further policy measures, such as increase domestic gasprice, which would boost profits of majors such as RIL and ONGC and incentivizethem to make higher investments to expand their E&P activities. This wouldalso be a positive for GAIL, which is in the process of almost doubling its gastransmission capacity.
Recent decline in the stock price makes valuations attractive: Over thepast 6-8 months, stock prices of oil and gas companies have declined significantly.While RIL's stock has fallen due to declining production from KG-D6 basin,we expect RIL to ramp up its production over the next two years with the helpof BP's technical expertise. For ONGC, although there is an overhang on thesubsidy-sharing mechanism, its inexpensive valuation makes it an attractivebet at these levels. GAIL stock has also recently declined, with the fall inbroad markets, although its operating business remains stable andexpansion plans are on track. We continue to maintain our positive view onRIL, ONGC and GAIL.

RIL is demanding higher price than US$4.2/mmbtu for thedevelopment of a satellite field in the KG-D6 block and R-series,as it estimates that current prices of US$4.2/mmbtu are notviable to develop the satellite field. The current internationalprice is around ~US$11-14/mmbtu compared to the domesticprice range of US$4.2-US$5.7/mmbtu. RIL has also requestedthe government to approve pricing formula based on Asian LNGprice for its forthcoming production from the coal bed methane(CBM) block. Similarly, ONGC is also demanding a higher priceto develop its KG-DW 98/2 block to be viable.

Company BackgroundReliance Industries (RIL), India's one of the largest listed company, ranksamongst the biggest petrochemical companies in Asia. The company is alsothe world's largest polyester producer and has the world's largest refineryin Jamnagar. RIL operates in three business segments: petrochemicals (23%of gross sales), refining (73% of gross sales), and oil and gas (4% of grosssales). During 2002, RIL discovered huge natural gas reserves (12TCF ofgas) in KG D6 block of Andhra Pradesh. In February 2011, RIL sold 30%stake in 23 oil and gas blocks to U.K.-based BP for US$7.2bn.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Any increase in regulated domestic gas price couldpave way for exploring new gas blocks. Also, the company aims to expandits business in telecom, retail and petrochemicals transportation.
Competitive position: RIL has higher refining margins compared to globalpeers, as its Jamnagar refinery can refine the most complex varieties of crudeand manufacture various grades of fuel.
Nature of business: Changes in global refining margins and prices ofpetrochemical products have a direct bearing on the company’s profitability.
Current Investment ArgumentsRamp-up in KG-D6 could re-rate the stock: RIL's upstream segment stillhas significant upside in store, considering the huge untapped resources.RIL's natural gas production stands at ~40mmscmd, significantly below itspotential of 80mmscmd from KG-D6 due to constraints over reservoir pressure.Nevertheless, we believe RIL can ramp up its production over the mediumterm with the help of BP's technical expertise. Also, RIL has recently concludedseveral three-year exploration phases on the prospective eastern coast andis expected to commence with the development phase soon. RIL expects tocommence significant E&P activities from CY2014E.
Foray into newer businesses: RIL has been eyeing inorganic routes fordiversifying its asset portfolio by entering into newer ventures, such as retailand telecom, on the back of significant cash pile (`74,539cr as on December31, 2011) and treasury stocks. Initiatives such as shale gas acquisitions,with in-place reserves of ~12TCF, could prove to be a potential trigger forthe stock in the long term.
Valuations attractive: Over the last five years, RIL has traded at an averageone-year forward P/E of 17.7x, while currently it is trading at a P/E of 12.2xFY2012E and 11.4x FY2013E. On a P/B basis, the stock trades at 1.4xFY2012E and 1.2x FY2013E. We maintain our Buy view on the stockwith an SOTP target price of `̀̀̀̀923.

Company BackgroundONGC is the third largest oil and gas exploration and production companyin the world, ranking 23rd among the leading global energy majors. The company’sprimary business includes exploration, development and production of crudeoil, natural gas, LPG and other value-added petroleum products. ONGChas 2P reserves of 1,025mtoe of hydrocarbon, indicating a reserve life of17 years. The company has also set up a subsidiary, ONGC Videsh (OVL),for overseas oil exploration and production. OVL has 2P reserves of 199mtoe,indicating a reserve life of 21 years.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Over FY2007-11, although ONGC (standalone) hasincurred a capex of `45,851cr (38% of its average operating cash flow), itsO+OEG (oil and oil equivalent gas) production has recorded a CAGR ofonly 0.4%. Nevertheless, we expect robust volume growth from OVL, whichaims to increase its production at a CAGR of 12.4% during FY2011-13.Also, a concrete subsidy-sharing formula by the government could makeONGC's cash flows more predictable.
Competitive position: The company has a huge base of oil and gas producingblocks in India. ONGC accounted for ~57% of India's O+OEG productionin FY2011 (crude oil - 82% and natural gas - 48%).
Nature of business: Regulated; Any increase in global crude oil price resultsin a higher subsidy burden for ONGC, thus affecting its profits.
Current Investment ArgumentsGas volumes expected to boost valuations: ONGC aims to increase gasproduction from North Tapti, B193 and 28 cluster, B22 cluster WO seriescluster, B46 cluster, cluster 7 and B series. The company aims to increaseits production to 26bcm in FY2013E from 23bcm in FY2011. As far as oilis concerned, ONGC's existing oil fields are matured and, thus, productionfrom these fields is declining. Nevertheless, management expects incrementaloil production from marginal fields (including D1 extension, B193 cluster,B22 clusters, North Tapti, WO series and B46 cluster), which will help arrestthe decline in crude production. ONGC aims to raise its crude oil output to28mn tonnes by FY2014E from 24mn tonnes in FY2011.
OVL's volume story intact: OVL's production has increased steadily from8.0mtoe in FY2007 to 9.5mtoe in FY2011. Going forward, we expect OVL'svolumes to grow to 12mtoe by FY2013E, with incremental productionsfrom Myanmar, Sakhalin-1 and Venezuela coming on stream. Moreover, anyincrease in crude oil or gas price improves margins for OVL, as it does notshare under-recoveries.
Valuation: The stock is currently trading at 8.7x and 8.2x FY2012E andFY2013E P/E, compared to its five-year average P/E of 10.2x. Further, consideringthe anticipated volume growth from OVL during FY2011-13E, we continueto maintain our Buy rating on the stock with an SOTP target price of`̀̀̀̀324.

Company BackgroundIncorporated in August 1984, GAIL is engaged in the transmission and distributionof natural gas, LPG, liquid hydrocarbons and petrochemicals. The company'ssegments include natural gas marketing, natural gas transmission, LPGtransmission projects and other hydrocarbon production. Currently, GAILoperates a natural gas transmission network of ~8,000km, with a capacityof 170mmscmd. The company also has 27 oil and gas exploration blocksand three coal bed methane blocks. The company has also diversified intoexploration and production and city gas distribution (CGD).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Currently, gas constitutes only 11% of India's energybasket compared to 25% of the global energy basket, providing scope toincrease gas penetration. GAIL is well-poised to benefit from increasinggas demand in India as it is currently doubling its transmission capacity.
Competitive position: Dominant; GAIL has a market share of 78% in naturalgas transmission and 70% in natural gas marketing.
Nature of business: Regulated; Tariffs of the company's transmission businessare regulated by Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB).
Current Investment ArgumentsVolume story yet to unfold: GAIL is expanding its transmission capacityfrom 170mmscmd currently to 300mmscmd in the next two years for a capexof `30,000cr. The company expects incremental gas volumes from the KGbasin, GSPC, marginal fields and new LNG terminals. Although stagnantproduction at KG basin and higher LNG prices are a cause of concern onthe volume front in the near term, we believe GAIL's volume growth couldbe strong (over the medium term) as and when KG-D6 ramps up its production.
Upstream segment could see triggers: GAIL's asset portfolio includesprospective basins such as Myanmar fields and CBM blocks. We view theseblocks as a potential upside for the stock. Of the 27 exploratory blocksowned by GAIL, nine blocks have potential hydrocarbon discoveries. Anymaterial success in the form of a major discovery could be a key catalyst forthe stock.
Valuations attractive: Over the past five years, GAIL has traded at an averageone-year forward P/E of 16.0x, while currently it is trading at a P/E of 11.7xFY2012E and 10.4x FY2013E. On a P/B basis, the stock trades at 2.1xFY2012E and 1.8x FY2013E, compared to its five-year average P/BV of2.7x. Further, considering the anticipated volume growth in the next two-three years, we maintain our Buy rating on the stock with an SOTP targetprice of `̀̀̀̀434.

Company BackgroundCairn India is an oil and gas exploration and production company in Indiawith interests in 11 blocks. Cairn India estimates its Rajasthan block potentialresource at ~6.5bboe with resource in Mangala, Bhagyam, Aishwarya (MBA)and other fields at ~4.0bboe. MBA fields hold resource of 2.1bboe, of which2P reserves are over 1.0bboe. The company operates the largest oil-producingfield in the Indian private sector. The company has pioneered the use ofcutting-edge technology in India to extend production life. Cairn India isworking closely alongside the central and state governments and has operationalpartnership with ONGC, Videocon, Tata and Marubeni. During FY2012, Vedantaacquired a majority stake (59%) in Cairn India.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Cairn India aims to commence production from itsblocks in Sri Lanka once it establishes commerciality. Also, there are variousexploratory upsides untapped in Barmer Hills and other fields waiting to bedeveloped and commercialized.
Competitive position: Although crude oil sales price is determined globally,Cairn India's cost of production of crude oil is ~US$3/bbl, one of the lowestin the world.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Cairn India's profitability is co-related to theincrease/decrease in global crude oil price.
Current Investment ArgumentsProduction beyond 175kbopd post FY2013: Cairn India's managementaims to ramp up crude oil producing capacity of 175kbopd by FY2012Efrom 149kbopd in FY2011. However, management opined that due to constraintsin pipeline capacity, ramp-up beyond 175kbopd could be pushed to FY2014E.
Exploratory upsides awaited: There are various exploratory upsides untappedin Barmer Hills and other fields waiting to be developed and commercialized.Currently, various schemes related to exploratory drillings and optimizationof producing fields are awaiting approvals from the government. Cairn Indiahas recently announced two discoveries in Mannar Basin, Sri Lanka. Managementis expected to give details on the commerciality and potential reserves inthe block during 4QFY2012E.
Valuation: Cairn India has the infrastructure in place to ramp up production,while it is awaiting approvals from the government. We expect productionto increase in the coming quarters gradually to reach a production level of175kbopd by FY2013E. However, we believe the current stock price discountsthis production growth. Although we believe there are various exploratoryuntapped upsides in Barmer Hills and other fields waiting to be developed,but currently we lack operational visibilities on these blocks. Hence,we remain Neutral on the stock.

'Healthy' growth outlookGeneric markets expected to post a 9% CAGR until 2015: The global genericindustry is expected to post a 9% CAGR to US$135bn-150bn by CY2015,outpacing the global pharmaceuticals industry's expected growth rate of4-6%. The quantum of products going off-patent in the next five years is equalto the worth of products that have gone off-patent in the past 10 years.Going ahead, rising healthcare spending, ageing population and increasingacceptance for generics are the key growth drivers for the industry.
The key U.S. generic market is likely to report a 6% CAGR to US$48bn inCY2015, driven by unprecedented level of patent expiry. Europe is expectedto post a 6.9% CAGR to US$40bn in CY2015, led by increasing penetrationlevels and initiatives by the government to rein rising healthcare cost. Otherinternational generic markets are estimated to post a 13.3% CAGR to US$55bnin CY2015. More than half of the global generic growth in the next five yearswould come from international markets.
Indian domestic formulation to log in steady health: The Indian domesticformulation industry posted a 14% CAGR during FY2003-08, from ~US$3.9bnin FY2003 to US$7.7bn in FY2008, outpacing the global pharma industry'sgrowth rate of 7%. Over FY2008-13E, the Indian domestic formulation marketis expected to report a robust 12.9% CAGR to US$13.7bn on the back ofchronic therapeutic segments such as anti-diabetic, CVS, CNS and lifestylediseases like gastrointestinal. This growth is expected to be primarily led byvolumes and new product introductions in the chronic therapeutic and lifestylesegments and increased market penetration.
CRAMS - Long-term drivers intact: The CRAMS sector is likely to post seculargrowth of 8.8% over CY2009-12E to US$52bn, as all drivers of outsourcingare intact. India still accounts for 5-6% of the total global outsourcing pie.Going ahead, we expect India's share to grow to lower teens on account ofstrong process-chemistry skills and low-cost advantage. The Indian CRAMSsector is likely to post secular growth of 29.0% over CY2009-12E to US$5.1bn.
Biotech drugs - The next leg of opportunity: Biotech drugs have been growingfaster than traditional drugs. The 20-year patent protection on the first batch ofbiotech drugs, which entered the regulated markets in late 1980s, is set toexpire in the ensuing years. Over 2010-15, biotech drugs worth US$79bn ofglobal sales would face patent expiries. However, unlike traditional drugs, biotechdrugs are complex to manufacture and, hence, difficult to establish comparabilityof generics with innovator drugs. This has posed regulatory hurdles for theapproval of biogeneric drugs. Thus, while Europe has legislation for the sameon a drug-specific basis, U.S. is yet to have its legislation in place. Indian companieslike Ranbaxy, DRL, Wockhardt and Biocon have made investments for the sameand are targeting the semi-regulated and regulated markets in the coming years.
Outlook and valuation: With the expected 21% earnings CAGR overFY2011-13E for our universe, we remain overweight on the sector. In the genericsegment, we prefer Sun Pharma, Cipla, Lupin, Cadila, Aurobindo Pharma and Indoco.

U.S. generics: Unprecedented level of patent expiries
The U.S. generic market (worth US$32bn in CY2008) is likelyto post a CAGR of 6% to US$48bn in CY2015, driven byunprecedented level of patent expiry. As a result, major globalinnovators will lose about US$70bn of branded value global salesover the next three years, comprising 14-41% of their existingrevenue.
With the U.S. comprising 50% of the overall branded market, itwould capture the maximum upsides from the same. Volume CAGRof 8% in the U.S. market over the past 10 years has been one ofthe key growth drivers, which, to some extent, has offset thesignificant price erosion. Generic companies would continue tobenefit from the ongoing manufacturing challenges across theindustry, resulting into a much more stable base business.

Innovator-generic model gaining currency, Indiancompanies to be the beneficiariesWith the CY2011-14 patent expiry cliff approaching along withincreasing genericisation, global MNC players are now focusingon generic opportunities, especially in emerging markets to diversifytheir revenue base and to reduce cost. Global MNC players havestarted tapping volume-driven branded-generic emerging marketsthrough acquisitions or by entering into alliances with Indiancompanies. In their pursuit to reduce R&D and manufacturingcost, global MNC players have increased outsourcing to low-cost destinations like India. Increasing focus of global MNC playersbodes well for the Indian pharma sector by providing stable revenueflow by entering into long-term contracts.

Domestic formulation - Shift towards the chronic segmentThe Indian domestic formulation industry registered a CAGR of14% during FY2003-08, from around US$3.9bn in FY2003 toUS$7.7bn in FY2008, outpacing the global pharma industry'sgrowth rate of 7%. Going ahead, the Indian domestic formulationmarket is expected to report a robust CAGR of 12.9% toUS$13.7bn over FY2008-13E from US$7.7bn on the back ofchronic therapeutic segments like anti-diabetic, CVS, CNS andlifestyle diseases like gastrointestinal. Growth is expected to bedriven primarily by volumes and new product introductions in thechronic therapeutic and lifestyle segments and increasing marketpenetration.

Consolidation imminent
The Indian formulation industry is highly fragmented, with300-400 units in the organized and 15,000 in the unorganizedsegments. The industry is dominated by Indian companies. Infact, around seven of the top 10 global players are Indian. Onthe basis of market share, the top five and top 10 players accountfor 23% and 37% of the total formulation sales, respectively.Further, new product introductions would be lesser than earlier.Hence, going forward, we believe the Indian formulation marketis set for consolidation, given the challenges ahead. However,we believe consolidation, though imminent, could take longer asvaluations of most companies remain expensive, as evident byAbbott's takeover of Piramal Healthcare.
CRAMS: Long-term growth drivers intact
The CRAMS sector is expected to register secular growth of8.8% over CY2009-12E to US$52bn from the current US$40bn,as all the drivers of outsourcing are intact. India still accountsfor 5-6% of the total global outsourcing pie. Going ahead, weexpect India's share to increase to lower teens on the back ofstrong process-chemistry skills and low-cost advantage.

CRAMS - Recent slow growth an aberration; but drivers in place
So far, growth has been subdued for almost all players in theCRAMS segment (except Divi’s Labs) on account of inventoryrationalization resulting in an 11-27% decline in the top line alongwith contraction in operating margins. Several big global M&Adeals were also completed in late CY2009, due to which therewere delays in budget approvals. However, most companies arenow witnessing an uptick in order enquiries from global innovators,indicating improvement in the global scenario.
Risks
Price control
After a long wait of over five years, the NPPP draft has beentaken up for discussion. The NPPP-2011 draft entails significantchanges as compared to 1994 Drug Policy Control Order (DPCO).The key differences between NPPP-2011 vs. DPCO 1994 area) essentiality of drugs vs. economic criteria/market share principle;b) market and cost-based pricing; and c) control of formulationprices vs. control starting from API level. The draft is a shift from

Pharmaceuticals
cost-based pricing to market-based pricing, which is a step inthe right direction. Under market-based pricing, the ceiling pricewould be based on the weighted average price of the top threebrands by value. However, on the negative side, the scope ofthe policy now covers at least 60% of the drugs in value termsfrom the earlier 10-20% and includes combination drugs, whichwere not covered in National List of Essentials Medicines (NLEM)2011. The draft is now open for comments from the industry -post which a new DPCO would come into existence. While thefinancial impact appears benign, given the cost competitivenessof the markets, companies are, however, wary that this may triggergreater regulatory oversight on the industry going forward.
Increasing genericisation: One of the prominent risks facedby the industry is the transformation of the branded-generic marketto generic-generic market, which leads to significant price erosionand margin compression. The point in case is Germany wherethe entire market in 2008 was transformed into generic-genericon the back of government's/payors' push to reduce healthcarecost. Now, most of the other EU markets are slowly moving towardsthe generic-generic model.
Regulatory overhang: Though most of the Indian pharmaceuticalscompanies have successfully complied with cGMP of US FDA,the increasing stringency of the regulator continues to pose arisk to the sector.
Volatile currency movements: Generic players derive around50-60% of there revenue from exports, owing to which they areexposed to foreign exchange fluctuations.
Delays in entering contracts: CRAMS players have beenincurring capex on building up new facilities. Any delay in enteringcontracts would pose a downside risk.
OutlookWith the expected earnings CAGR of 21% over FY2011-13Efor our universe of stocks, we remain overweight on the sector,maintaining a positive future outlook for earnings growth.In the generic segment, we prefer Lupin, Cadila, Arobindo,and Indoco Remedies.

Company BackgroundDr. Reddy's Laboratories (DRL) is an integrated global pharmaceutical company.The company operates through three businesses - pharmaceutical servicesand active ingredients, global generics and proprietary products. The company’skey areas include gastro-intestinal, cardiovascular, diabetology, oncology,pain management, anti-infective and paediatrics. DRL's key markets includeIndia, U.S., Russia and CIS, and Germany.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In India, the current spending on healthcare (publicand private) is estimated at 6% of GDP and is expected to increase to 10%of GDP by 2016. Thus, on a conservative basis also, the industry can growat a 14-15% CAGR. On the other hand, the global generic industry, at US$80bn(CY2008), is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% to US$135bn-150bn byCY2015. Indian companies, on account of their relative positioning, cangrow at around 20% during the period.
Competitive position: DRL is one of the largest players in the domesticformulation market, with a market share of ~2.2%.
Nature of business: Defensive sector insulated from economic cycles; highlycompetitive industry, with a high payback period.
Current Investment ArgumentsRobust growth in the U.S. ahead: After attaining a critical mass (US$426mnwith 11 new product launches in FY2011), DRL aims to scale up its businessto the next orbit in the U.S. market on the back of a strong product pipeline(75 ANDAs are pending approval, of which 36 are Para IVs and 11 areFTFs). Management has guided for one limited competition opportunity everyyear for the next few years.
Strategic alliances to provide long-term growth: In order to tap the emergingmarket opportunities, DRL entered into an alliance with GSK in FY2011 todevelop and market branded formulations across emerging markets. On thebiogeneric front, the company has developed nine products (four productslaunched in India) on mammalian cell culture with global brand sales of US$30bn.The company has also entered into a marketing agreement with Valent Pharmato market Cloderm cream in the U.S. market. This deal is expected to providean impetus to the company's proprietary products business going forward.
Valuation: DRL has revised its earlier revenue guidance of US$3bn to US$2.7bnby FY2013E with RoCE of 25%. Growth would be driven by the U.S. business,uptick in the domestic formulation and Russian markets and increased contributionfrom GSK's alliance. We expect DRL's net sales to post a 13.3% CAGR to`9,584cr and adjusted EPS to record a 22.7% CAGR to `96.0 overFY2011-13E. At the CMP, the stock is trading at 19.3x FY2012E and 17.7xFY2013E earnings. We maintain our Accumulate view on the stock witha target price of `̀̀̀̀1,920.

Further, to expand its global footprint, Lupin prudently adopted theinorganic growth route. In-line with this, over the past two years, the companymade small acquisitions across geographies.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In India, the current spending on healthcare (publicand private) is estimated at 6% of GDP and is expected to increase to 10%of GDP by 2016.

On the other hand, the global generic industry, at US$80bn(CY2008), is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% to US$135bn-150bn byCY2015. Amongst the niche segments targeted by the company, oralcontraceptives address an opportunity of US$3bn-4bn in the U.S. market,with high entry barriers.

Company BackgroundRanbaxy Laboratories (Ranbaxy), India's largest pharmaceutical company,is an integrated, research-based, international pharmaceutical company. Thecompany is currently present in 23 of the top 25 pharmaceutical markets ofthe world. Ranbaxy has a global footprint in 46 countries, manufacturingfacilities in seven countries and serves customers in over 125 countries.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In India, the current spending on healthcare (publicand private) is estimated at 6% of GDP and is expected to increase to 10%of GDP by 2016. Thus, on a conservative basis also, the industry can growat a 14-15% CAGR. On the other hand, the global generic industry, at US$80bn(CY2008), is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% to US$135bn-150bn byCY2015. Indian companies, on account of their relative positioning, cangrow at around 20% during the period.
Competitive position: Ranbaxy is one of the largest players in the domesticformulation market, with a market share of ~4.8%.
Nature of business: Defensive sector insulated from economic cycles;Highly competitive industry, with a high payback period.
Current Investment ArgumentsUSFDA issues resolve on Ranbaxy issue: Ranbaxy has signed a consentdecree with the USFDA regarding the ongoing cGMP issues. We note thatthe consent decree lays out a plan of action as agreed by the two parties toresolve the outstanding issues. However, the timeline regarding the resolutionis still unclear. Further, the company will be provisioning US$500mn as potentialcivil and criminal liabilities that could arise from the Department of Justice(DoJ) investigation. Additionally, recently the DoJ has announced the filingof consent decree for Ranbaxy's Paonta Sahib and Dewas facilities. Althoughthe clarity and roadmap of the re-approval for both the facilities have emerged,forfeiting exclusivity is a clear negative for the company.
Looking for profitable growth: Ranbaxy's OPM collapsed from 12.6% inCY2006 to 6.1% in CY2009 on USFDA issues, high operating leverageand realized losses in forex hedges. However, the company is now targetingto achieve profitable growth by closing down low-margin facilities in variousemerging markets, reduce its work force in Europe and transfer its newdrug discovery research division to Daiichi. Further, resolution of the USFDAissue would help reduce costs incurred on remedial measures. Going forward,Ranbaxy aims to achieve double-digit margins in its base business.
Valuation: The stock is trading at EV/sales of 1.9x CY2011E and 1.4x CY2012E,which is attractive. Moreover, considering that the current financials donot include major upsides from other Para IV opportunities (which couldbe at risk) besides Nexium and Lipitor, we believe the downside is limited.However, given the low profitability in the base business and lack ofclarity on Para-IVs going forward, we recommend Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundSanofi, a leading global pharmaceutical company, operates in India throughfour entities - Aventis Pharma Limited, Sanofi-Synthelabo (India) Limited,Sanofi Pasteur India Private Limited and Shantha Biotechnics. Aventis Pharma,focuses its activities on seven major therapeutic areas namely - cardiovasculardiseases, metabolic disorders, thrombosis, oncology, central nervous systemdisorders, internal medicine and vaccines. Predominately a domesticcompany, the company is the second largest MNC in India, enjoying a marketshare of 1.4%.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In India, the current spending on healthcare (publicand private) is estimated at 6% of GDP and is expected to increase to 10%of GDP by 2016. Thus, on a conservative basis also, the industry can growat a 14-15% CAGR.
Competitive position: Aventis is the third largest MNC in the domesticformulation industry. The company has a market share of 1.4%.
Nature of business: Defensive sector insulated from economic cycles; Highlycompetitive industry, with a high payback period.
Current Investment ArgumentsFocus on top-line growth: Aventis recorded a revenue CAGR of 5.3% to`1,085cr over CY2006-10 on the back of slower-than-expected growth onthe domestic formulation front and loss of distribution rights of Rabipur vaccine.Going forward, to grow in-line with the industry's average in the domesticsegment, Aventis has rolled out its Prayas project, an initiative to increaseits penetration in rural areas.
Under the project, the company would launch low-price products in theanti-infective and NSAID therapeutic segments and increase its field force.The project is expected to provide incremental revenue of `500cr over thenext five years. Aventis also plans to launch CVS and vaccine products inthe domestic market post the acquisition of Shantha Biotech by its parentcompany. We expect the company's net sales to log a 13.6% CAGR overCY2010-12E, majorly driven by its domestic formulation sales.
Valuation: Aventis has a strong balance sheet with significant cash, whichcould be used for future acquisitions or higher dividend payouts. We expectthe company’s net sales to post a 12.6% CAGR to `1,450cr and EPS toregister a 15.4% CAGR to `89.7cr over CY2010-12E. At current levels,the stock is trading at 26.1x and 24.9x CY2011E and CY2012E earnings,respectively. We recommend Reduce on the stock with a target price of`̀̀̀̀1,937.

Thus, on a conservative basis also, the industry can growat a 14-15% CAGR. On the other hand, the global generic industry, at US$80bn(CY2008), is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% to US$135bn-150bn byCY2015. Indian companies, on account of their relative positioning, cangrow at around 20% during the period.
Competitive position: Ipca Labs is a market leader in the anti-malarials andrheumatoid arthritis segments in India.
Nature of business: Defensive sector insulated from economic cycles;Highly competitive industry, with a high payback period.
Current Investment ArgumentsDomestic formulations business: Ipca Labs has been successful in changingits business focus to the high-margin chronic and lifestyle segments fromthe low-margin anti-malarial segment. The company's chronic and lifestylesegments, comprising CVS, anti-diabetics, pain-management, CNS anddermatology products, constitute more than 50% of its domestic formulationsales. Management has ramped up its field force significantly with the additionof divisions in the domestic formulations segment, taking the current strengthto nearly 5,000MRs.
Exports to be the next growth avenue: On the formulations front, IpcaLabs has been increasing its penetration in regulated markets, viz. Europeand U.S., by expanding the list of generic drugs backed by its own API. Inthe emerging and semi-regulated markets, the company plans to focus onbuilding brands in the CVS, CNS, pain management and anti-malarial segmentsalong with tapping new geographies. On the API front, where it is amongthe low-cost producers, Ipca Labs is aggressively pursuing supply tie-upswith pharma MNCs.

Company BackgroundAurobindo Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (APL) manufactures generic pharmaceuticalsand active pharmaceutical ingredients. The company's manufacturing facilitiesare approved by several leading regulatory agencies such as US FDA, UKMHRA, WHO, Health Canada, MCC South Africa and ANVISA Brazil. Thecompany's robust product portfolio is spread over six major therapeutic/product areas, encompassing antibiotics, anti-retrovirals, CVS, CNS,gastroenterological and anti-allergic.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In India, the current spending on healthcare (publicand private) is estimated at 6% of GDP and is expected to increase to 10%of GDP by 2016. Thus, on a conservative basis also, the industry can growat a 14-15% CAGR. On the other hand, global generic industry, at US$80bn(CY2008), is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% to US$135bn-150bn byCY2015. Indian companies, on account of their relative positioning, cangrow at around 20% during the period.
Competitive position: A leader in the ARV business globally.
Nature of business: Defensive sector insulated from economic cycles; Highlycompetitive industry, with a high payback period.
Current Investment ArgumentsGrowth triggers in place: APL has increased its global filings (ANDAs anddossiers) dramatically from 313 in FY2008 to 1,171 in FY2010, as it proposesto scale up from SSP and Cephs to NPNC products. Further, the company'stransformation from being a pure API supplier to becoming a formidableformulations player has increased its cost efficiencies, as 90% of its formulationis now backward integrated. Thus, to leverage on its cost efficiency andstrong product filings, APL entered into long-term supply agreements withPfizer (March 2009) and AstraZeneca (September 2010), which providesignificant revenue visibility going ahead. APL is also in discussion withother MNCs for more supply agreements.
U.S. and ARV formulation segments: APL's business, excluding the supplyagreements, would primarily be driven by the U.S. and ARV segments onthe formulation front. APL has been an aggressive filer in the U.S. market,with 209 ANDAs filed and 134 approvals received until FY2011. Amongstpeers, APL is the third largest ANDA filer. APL expects to file 15-20 ANDAsevery year going forward. We believe APL is well placed to tap this opportunity.We expect the base business (ex-Pfizer) to post a 36.0% CAGR overFY2010-12 and contribute US$268mn by FY2012, as the company movestowards the high revenue-generating NPNC and injectable (SSP and Cephs)products.
Outlook and valuation: We estimate APL's net sales to log a 12.7% CAGRto ̀ 5,343cr over FY2011-13E. Even after factoring in lower profitability goingforward, the stock trades at attractive valuations. Hence, even after thedowntrend, we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with atarget price of `̀̀̀̀166.

Alembic is the market leader in the macrolidessegment of anti-infective drugs in India. Alembic's manufacturing facilitiesare located in Vadodara and Baddi in Himachal Pradesh (for the domesticand non-regulated export market). The company’s Panelav facility housesthe API and formulation manufacturing (both US FDA approved) plants.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In India, the current spending on healthcare (publicand private) is estimated at 6% of GDP and is expected to increase to 10%of GDP by 2016. Thus, on a conservative basis also, the industry can growat a 14-15% CAGR. On the other hand, global generic industry, at US$80bn(CY2008), is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% to US$135bn-150bn byCY2015. Indian companies, on account of their relative positioning, cangrow at around 20% during the period.
Competitive position: Alembic is the market leader in the macrolides segmentof anti-infective drugs in India.
Nature of business: Defensive sector insulated from economic cycles; Highlycompetitive industry, with a long payback period.
Current Investment ArgumentsGrowth triggers in place: Alembic has been restructuring its business portfolio,which would aid in improving its growth and operating performance.The company's domestic formulation business (57% of sales in FY2012)has 75% of its revenue coming from the anti-infective, respiratory,gynecological and gastro therapeutic space. Alembic has a strong fieldforce of ~2,700 MRs.
Alembic's exports formulation business contributed 14% to its total turnover,with U.S. and Europe contributing the most. In the U.S., YTD the companyhas filed for 41 ANDAs and has received 15 approvals. The internationalAPI business contributes 28% to the total turnover. Going forward, managementexpects its domestic formulation business to grow at industry pace. Further,revenue from the U.S. generic market is expected to scale up on the backof product approvals.
Profitability and return ratios to improve: We expect Alembic's marginsto improve from current levels of 12.2% in FY2011 to 15.0% by FY2013,given the improving productivity of the field force going ahead. The companyplans to reduce debt (currently at ̀ 339cr) going ahead, as it does not foreseeany major capital expenditure requirements except the normal capex, whichwould aid improvement in its return ratios.
Outlook and valuation: Alembic's growth and profitability have improvedpost the restructuring carried out by management. Over FY2011-13, weexpect Alembic to post a CAGR of 15.4% and 52.1% in its sales and netprofit, respectively. At the CMP, the stock is trading at attractive valuationsand we recommend a Buy view on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀77.

Further,the company plans to increase its sales force by 180MRs in FY2012E toincrease its penetration in tier-I I/rural markets.
Scaling-up on the export front: Indoco has also started focusing on regulatedmarkets by entering into long-term supply contracts. The company is currentlyexecuting several contract-manufacturing projects, covering a number ofproducts for its clients in the U.K., Germany and Slovenia.
Further, Indoco has entered into a supply agreement with Watson (U.S.market) and Aspen Pharma (emerging markets) for ophthalmic products.Although milestone payments from the contracts have commenced in FY2011,we expect substantial revenue flow from the deals to commence from FY2013-14.
Valuations: For FY2012, management has maintained its guidance of 20%growth, with 2HFY2012 expected to be more robust than 1HFY2012. Weexpect revenues to post a 19.5% CAGR to ̀ 694cr and EPS to post a 17.4%CAGR to `55.5 over FY2011-13E. At `̀̀̀̀418, the stock is trading at 9.8xand 7.5x FY2012E and FY2013E earnings, respectively. We recommenda Buy with a target price of `̀̀̀̀583.

Plagued with problemsHuge capacity addition expected over FY2011-15E, but PLFs to decline:India's power generation capacity currently stands at 1,86,654MW, and weexpect 83,000MW of generation capacity to be added in India over FY2011-15E at a CAGR of 10.3%. Currently coal-based power capacity at 1,04,000MWcommands a dominant share of ~55% in overall power generation capacity.This dominance is set to continue with coal-based capacity expected to accountfor 77% of the generation capacity estimated to be added over FY2011-15E.However, domestic coal production (Coal India being the major player with80% share of domestic production) has not been sufficient to meet the country'soverall coal demand. Coal India's production, which reported a CAGR of 4.6%over FY2007-11, is expected to remain low on account of imposition of stringentenvironment laws. In all, we expect domestic coal production to witness a 5.4%CAGR over FY2011-15E. Hence, although 64,000MW of coal-based capacityis expected to be added over FY2011-15E, incremental domestic coal wouldsupport only 28,000MW of capacity. Domestic coal deficit is expected to resultin imports increasing from 89mt in FY2011 to 175mt in FY2015. Domestic coalshortage coupled with poor outlook for gas output is expected to result in all-India PLF declining by 418bp over the aforementioned period, leading to 8.0%growth in power generation, lagging the 10.3% growth in generation capacity.
Private sector players most affected due to fuel issues: A substantial portionof private sector power projects are expected to operate under competitive bidding(case 1 and case 2) and merchant routes. Projects operating under this routehave minimal protection from fuel-related issues. Currently, fuel-related issuesfaced by power generators pertain to the unexpected increase in cost of fuelcompared to the cost on which long-term PPAs were signed (due to instancessuch as Indonesian regulation and lower-than-contracted domestic coal supply).These issues are expected to cause fuel shortage, resulting in higher coal cost.Long-term PPAs under case 1 and case 2 routes were signed by these companies,taking into account the predetermined fuel cost; and they do not provide forpassing on the increase in coal cost. In effect, this has pushed the IRRs for theseprojects down substantially, making them unviable for project promoters. CPSUssuch as NTPC are better placed in this situation, considering that they operateunder cost-plus PPAs, which permit them to pass on the increase in fuel costs.Further, CPSUs get preference with respect to allocation of coal linkages. Thus,private sector players are the most vulnerable to fuel-related issues.
Sector's valuations at above-comfort levels considering the headwinds:Stocks in the power sector have corrected substantially in the past one year,with the BSE Power Index losing ~26% (vs. a 12% decline in the Sensex)during the period. Post this correction, top Indian IPPs are trading at P/BV of1.3-2x on FY2013E, which we believe is still above comfort levels, consideringthe concerns surrounding the sector. In this scenario, we believe power generatorsoperating under the cost-plus route (allowed to pass on the increase in fuelcosts and guaranteed regulated returns) and with assured power offtake dueto long-term PPAs are better placed than their private sector peers. We maintainour Buy view on NTPC (cumulative PPAs for 1,00,000MW and paymentassured under the tripartite agreement), CESC (standalone power businesstrading at attractive valuations, P/BV of 0.6x on FY2013E basis) and GIPCL(P/BV of 0.7x on FY2013E basis)

Huge capacity addition expected over FY2011-15E,but PLFs to declineIndia's capacity addition has gathered pace over the past fewyears, and we expect a total of 83,000MW of capacity to beadded over FY2011-15E. The expected capacity addition overthis period is double the capacity addition over FY2007-11.Growth in capacity is expected to be driven by private sectorplayers. Capacity addition during this period is set to be buoyedby the commissioning of four UMPPs of 4,000MW each.

Domination of coal-based capacities set to continueIndia's coal-based power capacity of ~1,04,000MW commandsa dominant share of ~55% in overall power generation capacity.This is set to continue with coal-based capacity expected toaccount for 77% of generation capacity estimated to be addedover FY2011-15E. However, although we expect ~64,000MWof coal-based capacity to be added over the aforementionedperiod, incremental domestic coal would support only 28,000MWof capacity, resulting in low PLF for coal-based plants. Further,with the country's gas output not expected to pick up, we expectlow PLFs for gas-based plants as well. Thus, despite a 10.3%CAGR in India's generation capacity over FY2011-15E, powergeneration CAGR is expected to be much lower at 8.0%.
Coal shortage in power stations to worsen….With poor growth in coal production over the past few years,Coal India has not signed any long-term fuel supply agreementfor projects commissioned after March 2009. Further, as perthe new clause in the fuel supply agreements of Coal India,the company is not bound to pay any penalty if it supplies 50%of the contracted quantity as against the earlier stipulated 90%.Poor infrastructure for handling coal in ports and deficienciesin rail and road infrastructure are also leading to coal shortagein power plants.
Source: Min. of Coal, Angel Research: Note: A number of upcoming powerprojects incl.uded above have been alloted captive coal blocks, higher paceof coal production in these blocks would lead to lower overall coal shortage.

Little progress in the development of captive coal blocksOf the 195 captive coal blocks that have been allotted by Ministryof Coal since it began the allocation of captive coal blocks in1993, only ~30 have started mining till date. Obtaining environmentand forest clearances as well as obtaining mining lease fromstate governments are the major hurdles in the development ofallotted captive coal blocks. We do not expect much improvementin production from captive coal blocks as progress in thedevelopment of captive mining blocks has been very slow. DuringJune 2011, Ministry of Coal de-allocated 24 captive coal blocksallotted to various companies due to slow progress in development.
India's coal imports to increase by 86mtpa over FY2011-15EDespite having the fourth highest coal reserves globally (provenreserves of 114bn metric tonnes), India faces coal deficit asdomestic coal production (Coal India being the major playerwith 80% share of domestic production) has not been sufficientto meet the demand. Over FY2007-11, while India's coal demandwitnessed a 7.7% CAGR, coal production grew at a lower 5.6%.Delay in development of coal blocks due to issues in land acquisitionand obtaining environment clearance are the prime reasonsfor the slow rate of coal production. Going ahead, we expectIndia's coal imports to surge from 89mt in FY2011 to 175mt inFY2015.
Imported coal not to provide succorAlthough a number of future capacities have been designed tooperate on imported coal (both exclusively and with a mix ofdomestic coal), imported coal is not expected to solve the problemof coal shortage. While imported coal is suitable only for coastalpower projects, the increase in global coal prices, in the pastone year coupled with strong depreciation of INR vs. USD,has made coal imports expensive. We expect India's coal importsto increase from 89mt in FY2011 to 175mt in FY2015.
A major portion of India's coal imports are met by Indonesia,and a large number of projects of India's IPPs are expected tobe fuelled by Indonesian coal on the basis of long-term fuelsupply agreements with Indonesian companies. The Indonesiangovernment's new regulation that linked coal exports to amarket-linked reference price is a huge setback for Indian powergenerators as most of the fuel supply agreements were signedat prices that were at a steep discount to current market rates.As power generators are not liable to pay penalty if the PLFtouches the stipulated level, they would not be inclined to operateat higher levels if the selling price is not viable. Some of themajor projects affected due to Indonesian regulations areTata Power's UMPP at Mundra, Reliance Power's KrishnapatnamUMPP and Adani Power's Mundra power projects.

CPSUs such as NTPC are better placed in this situation,considering that they operate under cost-plus PPAs, which permitthem to pass on the increase in fuel costs.

For instance, Reliance Power which has been allotted captivecoal blocks for operating the Sasan and Tilaiya UMPPs, too isnot very well placed in this regard as the company has wonthese projects by quoting aggressively and is thus liable tosupply power at very low tariff. Reliance Power plans to useexcess coal from the captive coal blocks allotted for SasanUMPP for running its Chitrangi Power Project. However, thereis no certainity as to whether the company would be allowedto use the excess coal as the matter is sub-judice. If the companyis not allowed to use the excess captive coal, then the company’sIRRs at company level would decline sharply. Further, thecompany ‘s port based UMPP at Krishnapatnam is expected

Company BackgroundEstablished in 1975, NTPC is India's largest power generation company. NTPChas an installed capacity of 36,014MW (including 3,364MW under JVs), spreadacross 28 power stations. The company's capacity has grown by 6,790MWover FY2007-11. The company envisions being a 75,000MW company byFY2017. NTPC enjoys healthy operational efficiency and has consistently reportedhigh PLF of ~90% compared to all-India PLF of ~75%.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: India's overall capacity addition for FY2011 stood at~12,000MW, which is just a fraction of the ~1,00,000MW of capacity addedby China every year. NTPC accounts for 17.8% of India's installed capacityand contributed to 27.2% of the country's power generation during FY2011.NTPC (including JVs) currently has 12,928MW of capacity under construction,of which ~10,000MW will be commissioned in FY2012-13. The company'sfuture growth would be driven by the timely execution of its huge capacityaddition plans. NTPC has recently completed the tendering process for awardingBTG orders for 7,200MW (800x9) of super-critical thermal plants. The companyis also expected to award BTG orders for another 5,940MW (660x9) ofprojects shortly (the issue is currently subjudice).
Competitive position: NTPC is comfortably ahead of its competitors dueto cumulative PPAs for 1,00,000MW. Payment for power supply is guaranteedunder the tripartite agreement till FY2016 and on the basis of first chargethereafter. NTPC receives over 80% of its coal requirements from domesticsources and is preferred by the Ministry of Coal over private IPPs with respectto long-term as well as short-term coal supply.
Nature of business: Low risk; Stable and regulated returns.
Current Investment ArgumentsEarnings protected by the regulated return model: NTPC, being a centralpublic utility (CPU) governed by the CERC's regulations, earns RoE of 15.5%(on regulated equity). Additionally, the company has been consistently realizingvarious generation-linked incentives, which add 2-3% to its RoE.
Enjoys robust fuel security: NTPC, which received coal linkages for ninenew projects with total capacity of 10,920MW in FY2011, would be a beneficiaryof the Ministry of Coal's linkage policy for the Twelfth Plan, which givespriority to CPUs. Strong fuel security augurs well for NTPC, whose recoveryof fixed costs is linked to the stipulated level of PAF, which in turn is criticallylinked to coal availability. Additionally, NTPC targets to mine 47mn tonnesof captive coal by FY2017.
Valuation reasonable: For a company with significant fuel security, highRoEs of 18-19% (on regulated equity) as well as significant capacity expansionplans, which enviably have both fuel security and assured offtake, in our view,NTPC is trading reasonably at 1.7x FY2013E P/BV. Hence, we maintainour Buy recommendation on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀199 byassigning a target multiple of 2x on FY2013E P/BV.

Company BackgroundCESC is a licensed power distributor in Kolkata and Howrah. The companysupplies power from its own generation plants (capacity of 1,225MW locatedacross four power stations). The company also purchases power from WBSEDCLduring peak periods to meet customer demand. Over the past few years,CESC has consistently reported PLF in excess of 90%. On the distributionfront as well, the company's operational efficiency has improved over theyears, with T&D losses coming down from 22.8% in FY2001 to 12.9% inFY2011. CESC holds a 94% stake in its subsidiary, Spencer's Retail, whichis involved in the retail business.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: CESC is expanding its generation business and issetting up projects within and outside West Bengal through its subsidiaries.Currently, 1,200MW of capacity is under construction and another 5,869MWof projects are under various stages of development.
Competitive position: CESC is the sole power distributor in Kolkata andHowrah, with 2.5mn customers. However, the company would be facingcompetition for signing PPAs of its upcoming power generation projects.CESC is well placed in terms of fuel security with assured fuel supply for~90% of its existing operations.
Nature of business: While CESC's power distribution business has lowrisks with stable regulated returns, its retail venture is currently in losses.
Current Investment ArgumentsExpansion plans on track: CESC has 1,200MW of generation projectsunder construction at Haldia (600MW) and Chandrapur (600MW), whichare expected to be operational by FY2014. The company has planned capexof ~`2,300cr in its license area over FY2011-14, a portion of which wouldbe added to its regulated equity, thereby contributing to its future earnings.
Retail business on the recovery path: Spencer's Retail has been aloss-making venture since it became CESC's subsidiary in FY2008 andreported an accumulated loss of ̀ 778cr as of FY2011. However, on a positivenote, the retail business has turned EBITDA-positive on store level since1QFY2011. Spencer's Retail is attempting to improve its margins by focusingmore on the high-margin food business and is expected to breakeven at theEBITDA level by FY2014.
Valuations attractive: Currently, CESC's licensed operations, which havea direct exposure to retail customers, generate healthy cash flow. Further,tariff regulation allows for monthly variable cost adjustment, enabling thecompany to pass on the increase on a regular basis to its customers. Thestock is currently trading at 0.6x FY2013E P/BV on a standalone basis,which is attractive, considering the healthy cash inflows. We maintain ourBuy recommendation on the stock with an SOTP target price of`̀̀̀̀304, after valuing Power, Retail and Real Estate businesses at `̀̀̀̀282,`̀̀̀̀11 and `̀̀̀̀11 respectively.

Company BackgroundGIPCL is majorly (~63%) owned by various state-owned companies of Gujarat.The company currently has 805MW generation capacity, with 500MW (125x4)lignite-based capacity operational at Surat and the remaining 305MW(160MW+145MW) gas-based capacity operational at Vadodara. The company'sSurat Lignite Power Plant (SLPP) station II (2x125) was declared commercialin FY2011.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Currently, GIPCL is in the midst of examining the feasibilityof developing a new 600MW lignite-based power plant in Surat, throughwhich it intends to make the best use of the coal mines in its possession,which have adequate lignite to support 1,000MW of power generation for35 years.
Competitive position: GIPCL has assured offtake for its entire capacity,currently operational through MoUs and PPAs, under the cost-plus model.The company is also well placed in terms of fuel security with regards toSLPP stations due to its captive lignite mines (Vastan and Mangrol).
Nature of business: Low risk; Stable and regulated returns.
Current Investment ArgumentsSLPP expansion to lead to profit growth: GIPCL's SLPP station I I wasbuilt at a cost of `1,630cr (including the cost of development of Mangrolmines). Although SLPP station II commercialized at the beginning of FY2011,it stabilized only by FY2011-end. Hence, the plant had a low PAF for FY2011.Now that the plant has stabilized, the availability factor has also improved,which would result in an improvement in recovery of fixed costs. During1HFY2012, SLPP II reported PAF of 67% vs. 57% in 1HFY2011.
Enjoys reasonably strong fuel security: GIPCL is well placed in terms offuel security, with its entire fuel requirements for 500MW SLPP stations Iand II being met from its captive lignite mines. For gas-based plants, whichhave gas requirements of 1.55-1.60 mmscmd, the company has enteredinto tie-ups with GAIL and RIL-Niko for 1.01mmscmd; while for the remainingquantity, the company has tied up with GSPC and GAIL for the supply ofspot gas on 'as and when' required basis.
Valuations attractive: Considering the fuel security and cost-plus returnbusiness model, which assures RoE of 14% (excl. generation-linked incentives)at 75% and 80% PAF for lignite and gas-based plants, respectively , thestock is trading attractively at 0.7x FY2013 P/BV. The stock has correctedby 9% in the past three months, which provides a good entry point to investors.We have assigned a P/BV of 0.9x on FY2013 book value to arrive at atarget price of `95. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

Reality caught up with real estateThe real estate sector has witnessed a topsy-turvy ride over the past fiveyears with a boom period during CY2007, backed by strong liquidity, highforeign direct investment (FDI) in the sector, large PE investment and strongdemand from the end-user segment. This was followed by a downfall in CY2008due to the sub-prime crisis, which led to considerable liquidity crisis worldwideand a sharp drop in real estate demand in all markets. However, as the worldrecovered in CY2009, Indian real estate also recovered with prices touchingtheir 2007-08 peaks mostly on the back of investor participation.
Boom to bubble…: However, in CY2011, reality caught the real estate sector.With inflation touching all-time high, the RBI was forced to increase rates 13times; and with real estate prices touching all-time high, affordability becamea major issue. Accordingly, property transactions in major Indian cities declinedby 20-30% for the year. With global uncertainty looming, demand in the commercialand retail segments was sluggish; and due to oversupply in these segments,rentals did not witness any uptick and remained stagnant, thus adding morepressure to the sector. At the end of CY2011, companies are left with negativeto mediocre growth, high leverage, high inventory, high interest cost, increasedraw-material costs and below-par profits, which are not enough to reducetheir debt. The last resort for these companies is to sell their non-core assetsto deleverage their balance sheet, which has seen a proportioned increase indebt over a period of time and became a major overhang for these companies.
No material uptick expected in CY2012/FY2013: We do not expect anymaterial uptick in CY2012 going ahead, as all segments in the sector arefacing sluggish demand and overcapacity. The commercial segment is expectedto witness significant supply in CY2012, which will result in vacancy levelsabove 20%. Vacancy in the retail segment is also expected to remain above20% over CY2011-13; and with retail FDI put on the backburner, we canexpect a number of cancellations/project delays in this segment going ahead.Further, with interest rates remaining high and prices not correcting, we donot expect demand to improve in the residential segment in the coming two-three quarters as end-users are postponing their purchases in anticipation ofa decline in interest rates and prices.
Valuations at a discount, but outlook cautious…: Despite the fact that mostreal estate stocks are available at their all-time low prices we maintain ournegative stance as, we do not foresee any instant catalyst for the sector inthe near term. The sector is facing a cash crunch and is highly leveraged atthis point of time. The sector is also witnessing a slowdown in demand, whichhas significantly affected cash flows. Going ahead, we feel real estate stockswill move on company-specific news - such as deleveraging by DLF couldsee a strong momentum in the stock or speedy approvals for projects andrehabilitation in Mumbai could result in positive momentum for HDIL.
Currently, we have a Neutral recommendation on DLF, owing to concerns ofhigh debt, but quicker sale of non-core assets may result in a change in ourrecommendation in the future. The stock is trading at 18.6x FY2013 EPS and1.4x FY2013E P/BV. HDIL is currently trading at 3.3x FY2013 EPS and 0.3xFY2013E P/BV and ARIL is trading at 6.5x FY2013 EPS and 0.4x FY2013EP/BV, which we beleive are attractive. We have a Buy rating on HDIL andARIL with a target price of `115 and `78, respectively.

Boom to bubbleThe real estate sector has witnessed a topsy-turvy ride overthe past five years with a boom period during CY2007, backedby strong liquidity, high foreign direct investment (FDI) in thesector, large PE investment and strong demand from the end-user segment. This was followed by a downfall in CY2008 dueto the sub-prime crisis, which led to considerable liquidity crisisworldwide and a sharp drop in demand for real estate in allmarkets. However, as the world recovered in CY2009, Indianreal estate also recovered with prices touching their 2007-08peaks mostly on the back of investor participation.
The sector went on a strong expansion mode, where developersstarted to diversify in areas other than their expertise and started tocreate land banks at high prices. Many developers ventured intohospitality, while some entered the insurance and telecom businesses.A number of residential developers entered the malls and officespace, which usually requires more capital and has a larger gestationperiod. This was mainly due to high liquidity, cheap money becauseof low interest rates, cheap labor and construction material costsand in anticipation of full recovery in demand in the coming years.In doing so, the sector piled on lot of debt during the period.
However, in CY2011, reality caught the real estate sector. Withinflation touching all-time high, the RBI was forced to increaserates 11 times; and with real estate prices touching theirall-time highs, affordability became a major issue. Accordingly,property transactions in major Indian cities declined by 20-30%for the year. With global uncertainty looming, demand in thecommercial and retail segment was sluggish; and due to oversupplyin these segments, rentals did not witness any uptick and remainedstagnant, thus adding more pressure to the sector.
At the end of CY2011, companies are left with negative to mediocregrowth, high leverage, high inventory, high interest cost, increasedraw-material costs and below-par profits, which are not enoughto reduce their debt.

Retail segment's vacancy levels to remain above 20%Vacant space in shopping centers had increased during2008-09, primarily on account of high real estate costs andlower consumption, owing to which many retailers shifted gearsfrom the rapid expansion mode to the consolidation mode.Therefore, in the short term, vacant spaces are likely to increase,given the considerable rationalization in the supply pipeline.On the other hand, we believe demand is yet to pick up, especiallyin tier-I I and II I cities, which is not the case with metros, wherecatchment areas are witnessing high demand. We expect pricesto remain under pressure, as the segment has fragmented supplydynamics. Initial recovery volumes are likely to be cornered byexperienced players such as Phoenix Mills and not necessarilylarge ones. JLL expects vacancy in the segment to remain above20% over CY2011-13; and with retail FDI being postponed inthe sector, the segment can witness a number of cancellations/project delays going ahead.

No material uptick expected in CY2012/FY2013
Commercial demand to pick up after four-five quarters
After registering a sharp decline in the past few quarters, capitalvalues have started to strengthen and registered a marginalappreciation across most micro markets. The commercial sectoris expected to get a huge supply in CY2012, according to JonesLang LaSalle (JLL). CY2012 is likely to see 57.7msf of officespace to be operational, with only 39.0msf estimated to beabsorbed. Vacancy is estimated to be above 20%, which willkeep commercial rates stagnant over the coming quarters. JLLexpects vacancy to remain above 22.9% in CY2012 and graduallyreduce in CY2013.

Residential absorption expected to remain lowResidential property sales in Mumbai have plummeted by over70% since their peak of 2007, as high prices and rising interestrates have dented demand. Mumbai registrations declined by20% yoy and were at their 31-month low in November 2011.With interest rates remaining high and prices not correcting,we do not expect demand to improve in the coming two-threequarters as end-users are postponing their purchases in anticipationof a fall in interest rates and prices. According to Knight Frank,a global real estate consultant, unsold inventory levels are estimatedto be approximately 27% of the under-construction stock. Further,the investors segment, which makes up approximately 20% ofthe market demand, has been observed to be actively reducingits real estate portfolio, thereby adding significant supply intothe market. Unsold inventory in residential real estate was thehighest in Delhi-NCR at 102,758 units, followed by the Mumbaimetropolitan region at 90,512. Bangalore came next with 46,596units, and Pune followed with 40,734 units, according to PropEquity.In Mumbai and Delhi, residential prices are currently ruling 15-20% above their 2008 peak levels; whereas prices in mostother markets are still 10-15% lower than their last peak levels.This has resulted in tapering of volumes in regions such asMumbai and NCR. We believe FY2012-13 will see consolidation,with residential prices remaining soft in Mumbai and Gurgaon(may see a correction of 15-20% in some overheated areas),with a modest to flat 5% decline expected in other markets.

New Completion Net Absorbtion
What to expect in CY2012/FY2013Sale of non-core assets to reduce debt and focus more on
their core business area
Strategically and economically planning new land purchases
Greater focus on residential projects than commercial andretail segments, as they can quickly monetize the land
Higher focus on mid-income and affordable housing, whichcan drive future volumes and increase cash flow generation
Labor shortages expected to continue, as the sector continuesto face shortage of 10mn people, which is around 30% of the requirement
Margins to remain under pressure with cost of constructionrising and demand expected to remain sluggish
Raising money to fund future projects through FCCBs and QIPs,among others, as FDI, PE investment and bank funding have dried up
Strong reforms needed - Attempt to speed up approvalsThe real estate sector is witnessing a number of policy changes, asthe government is initiating several policy changes to improve thetransparency in the sector and speed up the approval process. Forinstance, the Maharashtra government has taken a number of policydecisions to ease the accumulation of approvals and regulations inthe Mumbai realty market. Accordingly, the state cabinet has approvedthe setting up of a housing regulator. This will surely help the sectorto become more transparent in future. The Maharashtra governmenthas also approved to amend the eligibility criteria for slum dwellersin Mumbai for rehabilitation housing. As per the new criteria, thosewho have moved into the pre-1995 constructed slum after 1995are also eligible for rehabilitation on payment of a transfer fee. Thiswill speed up the rehabilitation process and will be positive forcompanies like HDIL.
Valuations at a discount, but outlook cautious…Despite the fact that most real estate stocks are available attheir all-time low prices we maintain our negaive stance as, wedo not foresee any instant catalyst for the sector in the nearterm. The sector is facing a cash crunch and is highly leveragedat this point of time. The sector is also witnessing a slowdownin demand, which has significantly affected cash flows. Goingahead, we feel real estate stocks will move on company-specificnews - such as deleveraging by DLF could see a strong momentumin the stock or speedy approvals for projects and rehabilitationin Mumbai could result in positive momentum for HDIL.
Currently, we have a Neutral recommendation on DLF, owing toconcerns of high debt, but quicker sale of non-core assets mayresult in a change in our recommendation in the future. The stockis trading at 18.6x FY2013 EPS and 1.4x FY2013E P/BV. HDIL iscurrently trading at 3.3x FY2013 EPS and 0.3x FY2013E P/BVand ARIL is trading at 6.5x FY2013 EPS and 0.4x FY2013E P/BV, which we beleive are attractive.

Company BackgroundDLF is India's largest real estate developer with over 60 years of experiencein the industry. The company is mainly involved in the development of residential,commercial and retail properties. DLF has a unique business model withearnings arising from development and rentals. The company has also forayedinto infrastructure, SEZ and hotel businesses. The company has 363msf ofplanned projects with 52msf of projects under construction. The companyhas land resource of 70msf for office and retail development, with 13msf ofprojects under construction.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Demand for real estate is expected to remain strongin the long term. Residential demand is expected to stand at approximately4.25mn units, registering a 15% CAGR over 2010-14. Commercial demandover 2010-14 is estimated to be approximately 241msf. Demand for theretail segment is expected to reach 55msf by 2014.This provides stronggrowth visibility for the future.
Competitive position: Strong brand; Largest land bank in India.
Nature of business: Interest-rate sensitive; Cyclical.
Current Investment ArgumentsHigh leverage remains a concern: At the end of 2QFY2012, DLF's debtstood at `25,450cr, with debt-to-equity ratio of 0.9x. The company has beentrying hard to offload its non-core assets but has managed to only sell around`1,000cr of non-core assets due to delay in approvals. The company furtherplans to sell its non-core assets worth ̀ 6,000cr-7,000cr, which we feel mighttake a bit longer due to delay in approvals in the current tight liquidity environment.High debt will be a major overhang for the stock in the coming quarters.
Bumpy road ahead: DLF faces lot of challenges 1) bringing down its gearinglevels in FY2012E 2) getting fast approvals to have successful new launchesand 3) monetizing its non-core assets at a reasonable value. We estimateDLF to sell ~12msf of residential volumes in FY2012E and expect flat growthin FY2013E. In our view, there is a limited upside to our launch estimates,considering the steep price increase in the recent months. For FY2012, wehave assumed a 5% reduction in commercial and retail prices, but flat growthin residential prices, from current levels.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at 1.4x FY2013 P/BV and 18.6xFY2013 EPS. However, the stock lacks near-term triggers, given the kind ofmuted visibility on debt reduction and new launches. Hence, we recommendNeutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundHousing Development & Infrastructure Limited (HDIL) has established itselfas one of India's premier real estate development companies. HDIL is alsothe largest slum rehabilitation company, with significant operations in theMumbai Metropolitan Region. The company has completed more than 100mnsq. ft. of construction in all verticals of real estate and has rehabilitatedaround 30,000 families in the past decade. The company's operations rangefrom residential, commercial and retail projects to slum rehabilitation andland development.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Nearly 15% of the population in urban areas residesin slums. According to the census of India, 35% of the individuals living inurban areas reside in a single-room house; and in nearly 68% of the cases,four or more individuals reside in these single-room houses. Nearlyone-fourth of the Indian population is below the poverty line. There is a shortageof nearly 24.71mn units of houses in urban areas. In Mumbai, more than54% of the population lives in slum clusters situated in certain pockets ofthe city. A slum population of 7.5mn could translate into 1.5mn families withan average household size of five people. This could translate into SRApotential of 644msf and revenue potential of `2,00,000cr for redevelopers.
Competitive position: Largest player in slum rehabilitation.
Nature of business: Interest-rate sensitive; Cyclical; Strong entry barriersin slum rehabilitation.
Current Investment ArgumentsSlum rehabilitation to drive growth: HDIL is the largest listed slum rehabilitationdeveloper in the Mumbai property market. SRA projects do not involve upfrontinvestment in land compared to conventional real estate projects. The costper sq. ft. in a slum re-development project is around `3,000/sq. ft. versus`5,000-6,000/sq. ft. (including land cost) in case of freehold land due tohigh property prices in Mumbai. This has resulted in a higher margin forHDIL on account of access to cheap land bank in Mumbai. Slum redevelopmentalso has relatively high entry barriers because it requires expertise and experience,as it entails dealing with government agencies and slum dwellers regularlyuntil project completion.
Strong revenue visibility: HDIL has strategically deleveraged its businessmodel by launching various projects through the conventional route sinceMarch 2009, thereby reducing its overdependence on the TDR market. Currently,HDIL has ~14.5msf of residential projects under construction, 80% ofwhich are pre-booked, resulting in `4,600cr of revenue to be booked overFY2012-14E. Further, HDIL has ~25.7msf of new projects in the pipeline inFY2012-13, which would help maintain sales volume.
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading at attractive valuations ofjust 0.3x FY2013 P/BV and 3.3x FY2013 EPS. The stock is trading at 43%discount to its one-year forward NAV. We continue to maintain our Buyrecommendation on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀115. At our targetprice the stock will be trading at 4.6x FY2013 EPS and 0.4x FY2013 P/BV.

Company BackgroundAnant Raj Industries Limited (ARIL), established in 1969, is one the leadingdevelopers in the National Capital Region (NCR). The company has forayedinto Special Economic Zones (SEZs), IT parks, hotels, commercial complexes,malls and residential/service apartments.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The demand-supply gap in the residential sector acrosskey cities in India continues to be wide, with demand picking up recentlywhile supply remaining constrained due to the slow pace of constructionactivity. In the top seven cities of the country, latent demand is expected tobe three times higher than the supply and this gap is expected to remain till2014. Within the segment, the gap for mid-income housing is expected tobe three times the supply, which is expected to drive growth in the comingyears.
Competitive position: Land bank in the prime residential area; Largely focusedon the residential sector in NCR.
Nature of business: Interest-rate sensitive; Cyclical.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong growth ahead: In FY2011, ARIL added nearly 218 acres of land inGurgaon, Manesar, Sonepat, Neemrana and Delhi, with an investment of`837cr - providing the company a potential to generate revenue of ̀ 6,000cr-7,000cr over the next five years. ARIL is expected to execute over 3mn sq.ft. of commercial real estate projects in the next 36 months and 1.35lakhsq. yards for industrial plot development. The company is also building 10mnsq. ft. of residential real estate in the next 48 months and 2.80lakh sq. yardsfor plotted development. This is expected to drive the company's revenuegrowth over the next 48 months. Going ahead, we may see residential contributionfrom new launches at Neemrana and Sector 63 (expected to be launched inthe beginning of 4QFY2012).
Kirti Nagar Mall set to improve lease rental: Partial commencement ofKirti Nagar Mall has contributed only `2cr in 2QFY2012. We expect rentalincome of `15cr in 2HFY2012 from Kirti Nagar Mall, as it is 60% leased outand 25% under fittings. Rental income is likely to increase by 32% yoy to`100cr in FY2012 on commencement of Kirti Nagar Mall, incremental rentfrom Manesar IT project and operation of Tricolour Hotel (4QFY2012).
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading 6.5x FY2013 EPS and0.4x FY2013 P/BV. The stock is trading at 47% discount to its one-yearforward NAV. We continue to maintain our Buy recommendation on thestock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀78. At our target price the stock will be tradingat 8.5x FY2013 EPS and 0.6x FY2013 P/BV.

Growth momentum to moderate...The IT-BPO sector in India reported aggregate revenue of US$88.1bn in FY2011,indicating a market share of ~6% of the total global outsourcing market andtaking its contribution to ~6.4% of national GDP. The share of the IT-BPOindustry in total Indian exports increased from less than 4% in FY1998 to26% in FY2011.
Investment arguments
INR depreciation - IT sector to be the biggest beneficiary
During September-December 2011, INR depreciated by 10-12% against USD,providing an advantage to IT companies. Although an exports-driven sectorlike IT faces headwinds on account of a weaker demand scenario due to slowglobal growth, the INR depreciation from peak levels is expected to counterthis to an extent by improving the bottom line of Indian IT companies. Thus,we have moderated our quarterly near-term volume growth expectations forIT companies; however, INR depreciation is aiding in the slight upward revisionof earnings of IT companies for FY2013. Consequently, we estimate INR revenuegrowth to be at 15.5-19.0%, higher than USD revenue growth, which is expectedto be at 12.2-15.0% for tier-1 IT companies with TCS leading the pack.
USD revenue growth to moderate in the near termThe recent financial results of Oracle for the quarter ending November 2011raised questions about the health of the technology sector, as the company'snew software sales grew by merely 2% yoy because of delays in decisionmaking by clients, which led to deals not being closed. In addition, recentlyGartner has lowered its global technology spending growth forecast to 3.7%(earlier - 4.6%) to US$3.8tn for CY2012.
Given the current economic uncertainties, we see a moderation in IT budgetsfor CY2012 and expect volume growth of tier-I Indian IT companies to scaledown to sub-15% from 18% plus in FY2012E. However, we do not foreseeany pricing erosion as of now because the current pricing is still at a discountto peak levels and risks are lower as compared to what they were in CY2008,when Lehman bankruptcy was filed.
Outlook and valuationThe global macro data is pointing towards a bleak outlook for future globalcorporate profits, and there is now cautiousness coming from few IT playersin terms of IT budgets for CY2012. However, as per TPI's recent report, dealpipelines of IT companies were higher in 3QCY2011, but few project rampups are getting delayed. Thus, we expect tier-I IT companies (except Wipro)to replicate growth of 20% plus in FY2012. Further, we expect moderation involumes to sub-15% only in FY2013. However, in INR terms, we expect growthto be higher due to assumed INR depreciation. We remain cautiously optimisticon the IT sector, as on one hand global uncertainties are prevailing along withconcerns regarding IT budgets for CY2012, while on the other software companiesare deriving benefits from steep INR depreciation. We prefer diversified playerssuch as TCS, Infosys and HCL Tech (top pick) in tier-I IT companies. In caseof tier-II IT companies, we like MindTree and Hexaware Technologies.

Going ahead in FY2013,growth will be led because of increased offshoring, acceptabilityof outsourcing/offshoring in Continental Europe and growthfrom Asia Pacific region.

USD revenue growth to moderate in the near term
Worldwide economic trends
In June 2011, the IMF had forecasted that global GDP is setto grow by 4.3% and 4.5% for CY2011 and CY2012, respectively.However, rising sovereign debt due to quantitative easing (QE)measures and bailouts led to gross debt to GDP of developedeconomies such as U.S., U.K. and Eurozone surge to an alarminglyuncomfortable zone. Further, as the effect of QE measures isgradually fading, economic data points for developed economiesare also moving back into the alarming zone. As a result, theIMF has marginally downgraded its global GDP growth forecastto 4.2% and 4.3% for CY2011 and CY2012, respectively. Thisforecast is again expected to be downgraded further, giventhe contraction in manufacturing activities across the globe.The downgrade has, however, been steep for the U.S., from2.5% and 2.7% for CY2011 and CY2012 to 1.6% and 2.0%,respectively. In case of Eurozone, the forecast has been trimmedmarginally from 2.0% and 1.7% to 1.9% and 1.4% for CY2011and CY2012, respectively. However, the recent key economicdata points of the U.S. have turned mixed with industrial production,consumer confidence, employment and PMI indicating somestability, which we believe would help Indian IT services playersin covering up the risk of slower demand in the European region.

The recent financial results of Oracle, the global enterprise giantfor the quarter ending November 2011, raised questions aboutthe health of the technology sector, as the company's new softwaresales grew by merely 2% yoy because of delays in decisionmaking by clients, which led to deals not being closed. In addition,recently Gartner has lowered its global technology spendinggrowth forecast because of the sluggish economy and the eurocrisis. Gartner now expects worldwide spending on technologyto grow by 3.7% to US$3.8tn in CY2012, down from its earlierforecast of 4.6% growth. In 2011, global tech spending grewby 6.9% to US$3.7tn compared to 2010.
Our take
Given the current economic uncertainties, we see a moderationin IT budgets for CY2012 and expect volume growth of tier-IIndian IT companies to scale down to sub-15% from 20% plusin FY2012E. However, we do not foresee any pricing erosionas of now because the current pricing is still at a discount topeak levels and risks are lower as compared to what they werein CY2008, when Lehman bankruptcy was filed.
The relative stability of consensus forecasts of S&P 500 earningsin 2011 also corroborates the same thing, as earnings forecastsof the S&P 500 have declined by just 4.0% in 2011, well belowthe 23.5% erosion in 2008. Even the recent data of 3QCY2011from TPI indicated that the total contract value of IT contractsin the global markets jumped by 31% qoq and 41% yoy toUS$25.1bn (an all-time high), largely driven by mega deals relatedto M&A, with HCL Tech and TCS dominating in all the regions.Thus we believe the expected moderation in demand is a cyclicalblip and is basically due to delays in decision making from clients'end; so on a longer-term basis, we expect the Indian IT industryto grow by 12-14%, with tier-I IT players surpassing these ratesas the Indian IT-BPO industry is expected to reach US$200bnby 2020 from US$88.1bn in 2011.

Industry-wise trends: The BFSI segment (the major contributorwith a 45-50% share in exports) is expected to continue tolead in terms of value due to persistent work related to 1) regulatorycompliance, 2) data analytics, 3) operational efficiency and4) risk and fraud prevention. BFSI was leading the growth ofall the tier-1 IT companies since 2HFY2010, specially for Infosysand TCS; however, now incremental growth is tapering off slightlyfrom 6.5-7.0% qoq to 3-3.5% qoq for tier-1 IT companies.

For the retail and CPG segment, IT spend continues to growon account of multi-channel integration to encash on the digitalconsumer behavior, with HCL Tech and TCS being the highestgainers averaging above 6.0% qoq growth since the past fourquarters. Also, retail clients are spending on digital marketingand mobile and social technology to provide multi-channelexperience, retail commerce and mobile marketing to increasedigital consumers' engagements.

The manufacturing segment, which came back with higher spendon IT post the recession, especially with industries such ashi-tech and semiconductor looking at immediate go-to-marketstrategies and, thus, spending on product engineering, supply-chainmanagement and consulting to drive cost efficiencies, is now seeingsome signs of slowdown, but no project cuts are being seen.

Service-wise trends: Changed business needs of variousindustries after coming out of 2008 slowdown had led to asurge in demand for discretionary services such as enterpriseapplication (EAS) and engineering and R&D (ERD). Investmentsin EAS are mostly on the back of simplifying internal processesand harmonizing business processes across the enterprise tomake organizations smarter and leaner - primarily focusing onincreasing efficiencies and reducing throughput. Even ERD serviceswere witnessing a spurt in demand, with product companiesgetting aggressive and trying to launch a series of new productsby shortening the go-to-market cycle. Currently, due to uncertainmacroeconomic behavior, clients are delaying discretionary spendsand have become prudent in spending on IT.
Geography-wise trends: Geographically, U.S., traditionally thelargest market for IT companies, has been going very stronglyas far as clients' spending on IT is concerned, though the macrodata points at a bleak outlook. The U.S. has been the frontrunnerin awarding transformational deals. Growth is very muchbroad-based for the U.S. and is driven across industries andservices. Europe is back to spending - manufacturing and energyand utilities have returned to normalcy, with clients spendingon higher value-added services. European clients are primarilyspending on IT to drive cost efficiencies by outsourcing run-the-business (RTB) type of work and through rationalization ofexisting multiple applications and systems. European companiesare now opening up to offhsoring their work, and the biggestbeneficiaries emerging from these trends are TCS and HCLTech. Rest of the World, on the other hand, is witnessing moreof greenfield projects, relating to clients of developed economieslooking out for expansion in these regions.
However, the energy and utilities vertical is gaining strong traction,especially for businesses relating to oil and gas and smart gridand safety, mostly for cost-cutting measures with Wipro andHCL Tech being the highest beneficiary companies amongstthe tier-1 IT space. The telecom vertical is still a very soft spenderand continues to witness weak client budgets. This verticalwas heavily impacted for Infosys and TCS due to one of theirtop clients, British Telecom, cutting down heavily on its capexand downsizing its operations. Managements of both the companiesmaintain that the client-specific issue has taken a back seat,and they foresee a slow recovery in the sector. We believetelecom service providers of matured markets will start spendingto migrate to next-generation networks such as 4G to supportthe heavy voice and burgeoning data traffic.

Outlook and valuationThe global macro data is pointing towards a bleak outlook forfuture global corporate profits, and there is now cautiousnesscoming from few IT players in terms of IT budgets for CY2012.However, as per TPI's recent report, deal pipelines of IT companieswas higher in 3QCY2011, but few project ramp ups are gettingdelayed. Thus, we expect tier-I IT companies (except Wipro) toreplicate growth of 20% plus in FY2012. Further, we expectmoderation in volumes to sub-15% only in FY2013. However,in INR terms, we expect growth to be higher due to INR depreciationassumed. We remain cautiously optimistic on the IT sector, ason one hand global uncertainties are prevailing along with concernsregarding IT budgets for CY2012, while on the other softwarecompanies are deriving benefits from steep INR depreciation.We prefer diversified players such as TCS, Infosys, andHCL Tech (top pick) in tier-I IT companies. In case of tier-II ITcompanies, we like MindTree and Hexaware Technologies.
Margins to be mixedIT companies are going to benefit on the operating margin frontdue to INR depreciation, as generally every 1% depreciationin INR leads to a 35-40bp increase in the OPM of an IT company.However, going ahead from FY2012 to FY2013, we expectmargin of tier-1 IT companies (except HCL Tech) to remainalmost flat, as most of the impact of INR depreciation will comein FY2012 itself - as assuming INR/USD rate of ̀ 51 for 4QFY2012,the average rate of INR/USD for FY2012 comes at `48.5, andwe are assuming an average rate of `50 for FY2013, whichimplies 3.1% depreciation. All the benefit of INR depreciation

Hiring intactIT players got into the hiring mode from 2HFY2010, with highlateral hiring to tap the sudden increase in demand. With astrengthening demand landscape, Infosys and TCS had earlierindicated initial robust gross hiring targets yet again for FY2012of 45,000 and 60,000, even on the total employee base of1,30,820 and 1,98,614 respectively. TCS recently increasedits gross hiring target for FY2012 to 66,000 employees. Thesehiring numbers are much higher than the initial hiring numbersof 30,000 each indicated in FY2011 by Infosys and TCS. Also,due to the unanticipated pent-up demand as well as higherattrition rates of 20-25% annualized, gross hiring numbers forFY2011 stood much higher at 43,120 and 69,685 for Infosysand TCS, respectively. Even though the macro landscape remainsweak, tier-I companies are on track to meet their hiring guidancefor FY2012, so that if there is any spurt in demand (as it happenedwhen the economy came out of the downturn), these companieshave their resources ready and can address incremental demand.
Companies are now looking at planned hiring to address thestrengthening demand pipeline as well as to flatten their employeepyramids. Infosys and TCS have already given campus offersto 28,000 and 43,600 people (most of which have already beengiven), respectively, indicating that majority of the hiring in FY2012will be of freshers. Also, with cooling attrition rates, we do notexpect attrition to be a spoilsport anymore, as companies resortback to planned hiring.
is case of HCL Tech is expected to flow in FY2012 itself, as itis a June-ending company. So for FY2013, we expect marginof HCL Tech to decline to 14.9% due to headwinds of wageinflation and SG&A investments.

Company BackgroundTCS is Asia's largest IT services provider and is amongst the top 10 technologyfirms in the world. The company has a global footprint with an employeebase of over 2lakh professionals, offering services to more than 1,000 clientsacross various industry segments. The company has one of the widest portfoliosof services offerings, spanning across the entire IT service valuechain - from traditional application development and maintenance to consultingand package implementation to products and platforms.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Penetration of Indian IT companies in the total outsourcingmarket remains fairly low at ~6% vis-à-vis other large global players such asIBM and Accenture, indicating the enormous growth potential for the IndianIT industry to leverage its low-cost advantage and proven skills; and reachan estimated US$200bn by FY2020. Hence, TCS, with its expanding footprintin untapped geographies like France, Germany, and other emerging nations,can potentially report incremental revenue growth of 14-15% annually.
Competitive position: TCS is India's largest IT services company, enjoyingan ~11% share of the total Indian IT industry's revenue. TCS has a strongpresence in the BFSI vertical (highest revenue generator for the IT industry).Also, TCS has precisely expanded its presence in emerging verticals aswell as in geographies, which are now becoming its main growth streamsdue to the current underpenetration.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsWell placed for long-term growth: TCS has expanded its service lines andnetwork in various geographies, which led to TCS becoming a large-scaleplayer, outperforming Infosys since the last five quarters. Also, the keyIT spend-thrift industry segments - BFSI (44%) and retail and CPG (12%)- are expected to continue to be the company's growth drivers. Going ahead,with demand likely to come from the emerging verticals, we expect TCSto further gain market share and post USD revenue CQGR of 3.4% over3QFY2012-4QFY2013.
Margins to be remain upbeat: TCS has shown considerable margin improvementof ~230bp over the past nine quarters, with current EBIT margin at 29.0%.Going ahead, the headwinds of wage inflation on operating margins will bemore or less absorbed by INR depreciation, so we expect the company'sEBIT margin for FY2012 and FY2013 to be at 28.2% and 27.9%, respectively.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at attractive valuations of 16.6xFY2013E EPS. We recommend a Buy rating with a target price of `̀̀̀̀1,262,valuing the stock at 19.5x FY2013E EPS.

Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsBeneficiary of a diversified portfolio: Infosys enjoys a diversified revenueportfolio - non-discretionary services contribute ~60% to its overall revenue.Also, the company's focus on key IT spend-thrift verticals like BFSI (35%),manufacturing (20%) and retail and CPG (16%) is expected to continue toaid its growth. But due to delays in ramp up of the projects, we expectmoderation in its volume growth in the near term and expect a revenue CQGRof 2.9% over 3QFY2012-4QFY2013 vis-à-vis 4.0% in 9MFY2012.
Strong client addition, hiring intact: Infosys has been consistently addinga robust number of clients in its portfolio, despite a weak macro landscape.In fact, the company is on track to hire 45,000 gross employees on its totalemployee base of 130,820 (FY2011), in-line with its FY2012 guidance, anddespite fears of an economic slowdown.
Valuations attractive: Revenue momentum of the company has weakenedsince the past few quarters due to declining revenue from BT, one of itsmajor clients. This trend is set to alter soon, as revenue contribution fromBT has already declined significantly. The stock is trading at attractive valuationsof 15.3x FY2013E EPS of ̀ 169. We recommend a Buy rating with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀3,047, valuing the stock at 18x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundWipro is one the leading Indian companies, majorly offering IT services.The company is also engaged in the IT hardware (11% of slaes) and consumercare and lighting (10% of slaes) businesses. Wipro's IT arm is India's fourthlargest IT firm, employing more than 1,30,000 professionals, offering a wideportfolio of services such as ADM, consulting and package implementation,and servicing more than 300 clients.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Low penetration of Indian IT companies in the totaloutsourcing market (~6%) offers an enormous growth potential for Indian ITplayers to increase their revenue pie. Also, Wipro's strong foothold in theshort-term growth areas of remote infrastructure management (RIM) cangive Wipro the capability to crack large IMS deals.
Competitive position: Wipro enjoys ~6.5% of the total Indian IT industry'srevenue. The company is present in emerging verticals and geographies,which are now becoming its main growth streams due to the currentunderpenetration. Further, Wipro has a low presence in the BFSI industry(highest revenue generator for the IT industry) and in the EAS vertical, ascompared to its peers - this can drag the company's incremental revenuegrowth.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsBenefits of restructuring exercise to flow: Wipro started the restructuringof its organizational structure a couple of quarters back and structured it asvertical-focused, whereby P/L responsibility lies only with the verticals. Postthis, there has been a consistent improvement in Wipro's contract win rates.Also, the company managed to increase its clients in the US$100mn+ revenuebracket from one in 3QFY2011 to five in 2QFY2012, with employee attritionrates declining. That said, we expect Wipro to post USD revenue CQGR of2.6% over 3QFY2012-4QFY2013.
Margins levers limited: At the operating front, Wipro has headwinds suchas wage inflation and low utilization level as the company targets ~70% ofits gross hires as freshers, which are expected to pull down its margins. Theonly tailwind for Wipro is INR depreciation; thus, we expect EBIT margin ofthe IT services business to be at 21.2% and 20.5% for FY2012 and FY2013,respectively, from 22.0% in 1QFY2012.
Valuations: The stock is trading at reasonable valuations of 14.6x FY2013EEPS; lower valuation as against Infosys and TCS due to muted 9MFY2012performance, FY2013 revenue growth expected to remain lesser than peersand weak OPM. We recommend an Accumulate rating on the stock witha target price of `̀̀̀̀425, valuing it at 15.3x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundHCL Tech is India's fifth largest IT services companies, with over 80,000employees catering to more than 450 clients. The company's service offeringsinclude enterprise application (EAS), custom applications, engineering andresearch and development (ERD) and infrastructure management (IMS).In December 2008, HCL Tech acquired U.K.-based SAP consulting company,Axon, which now contributes ~11% to its consolidated revenue.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Low penetration of Indian IT companies in the totaloutsourcing market (~6%) offers an enormous growth potential to IT companiessuch as HCL Tech. Further, the company's leading position in the high-growtharea of remote IMS (~25% of revenue) will aid it to win largeinfrastructure-led application development contracts. Hence, HCL Tech, withits expanding client base and footprint, can potentially report average growthof 15-20%.
Competitive position: HCL Tech is strongly positioned in the EAS and IMSverticals, which places it well for short-term as well as long-term growth.In addition, strong consulting experience derived from Axon gives the companyan edge over other players in the high-margin consulting business.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrategic portfolio offers real growth and warrants relative strength: Postthe recovery in the global environment, HCL Tech has displayed anindustry-leading growth trajectory and has a strong position in IMS. Also,verticals like manufacturing and BFSI recorded robust order bookings ofUS$1.9bn (FY2011 revenue - US$972mn) and US$750mn (FY2011 revenue- US$905mn) in FY2011 and delivered CQGR (past four quarters) of 6.5%and 5.0%, respectively. We believe such a strategic portfolio should limitclient budget erosion for the company vis-à-vis its peers during a downturnand expect HCL Tech to be the outperformer among tier-I IT companies,with USD revenue to report a 3.5% CQGR over the next four quarters onthe back of its high-value services portfolio.
Margins to remain almost flat: All the benefits of INR depreciation in theEBIT margin of HCL Tech are expected to flow in FY2012 itself, as it is aJune-ending company. To cushion this, HCL Tech has some margin leverssuch as managing SG&A costs, expanding utilization levels and turnaroundin the BPO segment. Thus, we expect the company's EBIT margin to be at14.9% in FY2013 from 15.1% in FY2011.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at attractive valuations of10.5x FY2013E EPS, a steep 33% discount to Infosys, which we believe isunjustified due to industry-leading growth rates and improving profitability.We recommend Buy on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀520, valuing itat 13x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundTech Mahindra was founded in 1986 as a joint venture between MahindraGroup and British Telecom (BT). Later on, it started servicing other externalclients as well (solely in the telecom industry), though still it derives ~40%of its revenue from BT. In June 2009, Tech Mahindra acquired a 42.7%stake in erstwhile Satyam Computers (now Mahindra Satyam).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Trends such as the advent of 4G technology, superfastbroadband and telecom ventures and M&As present numerous prospectsfor Tech Mahindra to capture IT spend coming from these areas. Also,Tech Mahindra can leverage the skills of Mahindra Satyam in the enterprisesolutions space to expand its service offerings. Tech Mahindra, by acquiringMahindra Satyam, has effectively tried to achieve diversification of its revenueportfolio (eventually to be merged with itself).
Competitive position: Tech Mahindra has a strong proposition in terms ofservice, technology and product bouquet in the telecom industry in which ithas marquee clientele such as AT&T, Airtel, Alcatel and Vodafone.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsMahindra Satyam, a feather in the cap: Mahindra Satyam has now reacheda stage of stability and is showing robust growth traction on the back of itsdiversified portfolio. Increasing revenue visibility of Mahindra Satyam andmanagement's capability of maintaining margins have led to an overall upgradeof Mahindra Satyam's earnings.
Non-BT business to drive the company's growth, but BT retenderingcontracts: Management is witnessing traces of demand revival from telecomservice providers and foresees them to return to spending on 4G technologyand cloud only in FY2013. We expect the non-BT business to report a CQGRof 2.5% and 2.6% in 2HFY2012E and FY2013E, respectively, with BT'squarterly revenue expected to be flat from here. However, there is a caveatthat BT's revenue may see a downside if the company loses out its marketshare in the retendering process initiated by BT. In fact, even if the companymanages to hold the share or increase it, it can be margin dilutive as theclient has initiated this retendering process as part of its cost-cutting drivewith lower pricing expectations. Thus, we expect the company to post a9.2% CAGR in its USD revenue over FY2011-13E.
Valuations: The stock is trading at reasonable valuations of 7.3x FY2013EEPS, which we believe over-discount in the negatives from the BT business.Also, after the merger of Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Satyam, the share ofBT’s revenue in the combined entity will come down to 18-20%. We recommendan Accumulate rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀666, valuingit at 8x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundMahindra Satyam (Satyam) was incorporated by Raju brothers in 1987, witha strong focus on the manufacturing industry and the enterprise businesssolutions (EBS) vertical. The Mahindra Group acquired Satyam in April 2009after the erstwhile founders reported financial irregularities in January 2009and it is now back on its growth track after two years of metamorphosisundertaken by Tech Mahindra's management. The company's new managementtook over its reins and has again put the company on the map of the IndianIT industry (sixth largest Indian IT services provider) with improved businessflow, strong client mining and better margins.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Low penetration of Indian IT companies in the totaloutsourcing market (~6%) offers an enormous growth potential for Indian ITplayers to increase their revenue pie. Hence, Satyam, with its restored reputation,diversified portfolio, expanding footprint in untapped geographies and strongmanagement competence, can potentially get incremental revenue growthof 12-14% annually.
Competitive position: Satyam has a broad-based service portfolio, with itsmajor strength in enterprise solutions, application development and maintenance.Post the restatement of FY2009 and FY2010 financials, the company hasbeen able to demonstrate a sharp improvement in its business traction.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsAnchor verticals boosting growth: Satyam has a strong presence in EBS(~40% of its revenue) and manufacturing (~32% of its revenue), which areshowing modest traction. The company expects this service and vertical,respectively, to augment growth, which is coherent with the demand colorgiven by most other tier-I IT companies. We expect the company's corecompetence in EBS to supplement the 15.3% CAGR in USD revenue overFY2011-13E.
Adequate margin levers to bolster earnings growth income: Satyam hasadequate margin levers such as 1) employee pyramid rationalization (employees< 3 years of experience are very less at ~20% vis-à-vis industry at ~40 to45%); 2) strong volume growth expected on the back of a strengtheningdeal pipeline expected to improve utilizations to 75% by FY2013 from thecurrent 74%; 3) better pricing on the back of improvement in business mix;and 4) current SGA at 20.5% of sales, which can be brought down to 19.0%by FY2013.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at attractive valuations of 9.7xFY2013E EPS. We recommend an Accumulate rating on the stock witha target price of `̀̀̀̀82, valuing it at 11x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundMphasiS is a mid-tier Indian IT company formed by the acquisition of MphasiSby BFL in 1999. In 2006, EDS acquired a majority stake in MphasiS andsubsequently HP bought EDS in May 2008, thereby making MphasiS anHP company. The company provides application, infrastructure and BPOservices to clients in the banking, capital markets, insurance, telecommunicationand manufacturing industries. MphasiS is one of the largest BPO serviceproviders in India, providing voice as well as transaction-based services.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: MphasiS derives ~65% of its revenue from HP channel,out of which 10% is directly from HP as a client. The revenue growth outlookfrom HP as a client is sluggish and the rest of the revenue derived from HPchannel always faces risk of price cuts. Rest ~35% of the company's revenuecomes from the direct channel, which is now the focus area of the company.Low penetration of Indian IT companies (~6%) in the total outsourcing marketoffers enormous potential for MphasiS to increase its focus on the directchannel business.
Competitive position: MphasiS is strongly positioned in the enterprise servicesand infrastructure services verticals, thus placing it well for short-term aswell as long-term growth - provided the company expands its footprint anddiversifies its client portfolio.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsRevenue growth expected to come from non-HP channel: MphasiS iswitnessing modest growth from the non-HP channel business. The company'sITO business is witnessing modest growth, with open billable employee positionstanding at 300 on the total billable employee base of 6,500 in ITO. In fact,this business segment has reported a 7.6% CQGR over 2QFY2010-4QFY2011and is expected to continue as a growth driver for the company. However,continued sluggish performance of the HP-ES business has begun to hurtMphasiS' revenue from the HP channel. Also HP's long-term direction towardshaving six worldwide offshore development centers, including India, may posea threat to MphasiS' volumes. Over FY2011-13E (October ending), we expectMphasiS to record USD and INR revenue CAGR of 5.9% and 8.9%, respectively.
Cash pile to support inorganic growth: MphasiS is looking at an inorganicstrategy to supplement its growth further. Recently, management acquiredWyde, an international software vendor and creator of Wynsure - an insurancepolicy administration IP solution - to scale up its insurance portfolio. Also, inour view, there is a good possibility that the company may use its cash pile(~`2,000cr) to announce a buyback.
Valuations: The stock is trading at 9.4x FY2013E EPS. We recommend anAccumulate rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀387, valuing it at10.5x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundEstablished in 1999 by 10 industry professionals, MindTree is amid-tier Indian IT services company employing over 10,000 professionals.The company has so far managed to keep up with its performance despiteits main founder, Mr. Ashok Soota, exiting the company on March 31, 2011.MindTree offers a range of services spread across two businesses - IT services(ITS) and product engineering services (PES).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: According to Nasscom, the Indian IT industry is expectedto grow by 10-11% annually, given its under penetration in the global outsourcingmarket. This endows huge opportunities for a fairly diversified mid-cap playerlike MindTree to increase its reach and scale of operations. In addition, asper IDC, the offshore product development (OPD) market in 2010 crossedthe US$10bn mark and is expected to report a 19% CAGR to US$16bn by2013. Given MindTree's niche focus of PES, it can easily average14-15% growth in the PES business.
Competitive position: MindTree is a fairly diversified mid-cap IT player, withsuperior client mining skills and higher repeat business as compared toother mid-cap players.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsNiche focus on resurging PES along with robust traction from IT services:MindTree is gaining traction in its PES business (~36% of its revenue) forits wireless, android-related space. Management is confident that the companywill be able to grow its other accounts except Kyocera - wireless handsetmanufacturing business, which the company exited in October 2011. Alongwith that, the company's ITS business is continuously showing strong tractionwith a 6.3% revenue CQGR over the last four quarters.
Adequate margin levers in place: On the margin front, MindTree has beendoing well since past few quarters to rationalize its employee pyramid andcut down on SG&A. These steps by the company as well as INR depreciationhelped MindTree to move its EBIT margin from 7.1% in FY2011 to 13.9% in3QFY2012. Going ahead, for FY2013, Mindtree faces headwinds of wageinflation, which can be partially absorbed by tailwinds such as improvingutilization level, effort shift offshore and lowering SG&A expenses from currentlevels. Hence, we expect EBIT margin of MindTree to move to 11.3% inFY2012 and 10.5% in FY2013 from 7.1% in FY2011.
Valuations attractive: MindTree has been one of the good performers in theIndian IT mid-cap space, reporting 21.5% yoy revenue growth in FY2011. Fearsof operational mayhem that took place post the company entered wireless handsetmanufacturing are behind, as the company exited the business. We recommendan Accumulate rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀502, valuing it at10x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundInfotech Enterprises (Infotech), a mid-cap Indian IT company, specializes ingeographical spatial solutions and engineering design services with a focuson the aerospace, rail and hi-tech segments. Infotech has entered intolong-term strategic relationships with global clients, such as Bombardier,Boeing, Hamilton Sunstrand and Alstom Transport, and has signedmulti-million dollar contracts with them. The company's offerings are spreadacross two verticals - network and content engineering (NCE, contributing~31% to revenue) and engineering manufacturing and industrial products(ENGG, contributing ~69% to revenue).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Currently, India accounts for ~12% of the total offshoreengineering services market. As per Nasscom, Indian IT players are wellpositioned to increase their market share in engineering offshoring to 30%by 2020. Infotech, being a leader in aerospace engineering, has strongrelationships with clients in this space and, hence, can capitalize on thisopportunity.
Competitive position: Strong foothold in the geospatial solutions area, whereonly few Indian players like Rolta and Wipro are present.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsRevenue momentum to continue: Infotech has been witnessing a 5.2%CQGR in its revenue over 2QFY2011-3QFY2012 because of inorganic growthdue to the acquisition of Daxcon and Wellsco. Management had guided for22-25% yoy growth in INR revenue in FY2012, which is already achieved in9MFY2012 due to sharp INR depreciation. Also, the company has got priceincrease from some of its selective clients, which instills confidence in thecompany's performance going ahead. So, over FY2011-13E, we expect thecompany to post a USD and INR revenue CAGR of 17.6% and23.2%, respectively.
Margins to increase, courtesy INR depreciation: Infotech's EBIT marginimproved in 3QFY2012 after a declining trajectory seen since 3QFY2010-2QFY2012, despite management's repetitive indications of focusing on improvingmargins. This year, management expects EBIT margin to exit at ~13%, whichcan be easily achieved now, given the sharp INR depreciation. We expectEBIT margin to go move up to 13.3% for FY2012 and then decline to 12.0%in FY2013 due to wage inflation and fresher hiring, which will lead to lowerutilization level.
Valuations: The stock is trading at fair valuations of 8.6x FY2013E EPS.We recommend Neutral on the stock.

Company BackgroundHexaware is a mid-cap Indian IT company and is the 18th largest Indiansoftware exporter according to Nasscom 2010 rankings. Under the leadershipof Chairman Mr. Atul Nishar and Vice Chairman and CEO Mr. Chandrashekar(ex-Wipro Technologies), Hexaware has differentiated itself from its peersand built a niche position in the airlines vertical and in PeopleSoft implementation.Hexaware offers its services to clients mainly in the BFSI and travel andtransportation industries.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Having established a strong position in the BFSI andtravel and transportation space, Hexaware can now look at expanding itsfootprint to other high-growth areas like retail, lifesciences and healthcare,which can even help in de-risking the company's product portfolio.
Competitive position: Hexaware has niche capabilities in multiple areas,such as capital markets and travel and transportation. The company, in ourview, is best placed in the mid-cap IT space to capture growth in the enterpriseservices area.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsRecent deal wins provide strong revenue visibility: Hexaware has beenreporting strong growth on account of robust performance of its anchorservice verticals - enterprise solutions and business intelligence.The company managed to outperform the entire IT pack with a 7.5%CQGR over 2QCY2010-3QCY2011. Hexaware has won six large deals(all above US$25mn) in the past six quarters. Of these, three dealswere more than US$100mn; so on a cumulative basis, these deals are overUS$600mn, which gives incremental revenue visibility for the company.So, we expect Hexaware to report a strong CAGR of 24.8% in its USDrevenue over CY2010-12E.
Margins to head northwards: Hexaware has adequate levers to expand itsmargins, such as 1) strong volume growth and improvement in utilizationlevel (currently at 70.6%), 2) broadening of the employee pyramid (~17% ofthe total employees having below three years of experience), 3) ability togrow even with maintaining SGA at absolute levels, and 4) enterprise solutionsand business intelligence offering improved business mix. All these are expectedto increase the company's EBIT margin to 15.5% and 16.7% for CY2011and CY2012, respectively, from 6.6% in CY2010.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at reasonable valuations of 9.3xCY2012E EPS. We recommend a Buy rating on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀96, valuing it at 11x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundKPIT Cummins (KPIT), a mid-tier Indian IT company, specializes in themanufacturing segment, with a focus on automotive and industrial solutionsand services. The company focuses on three areas of solutions - enterpriseservices, auto and engineering and SAP. KPIT has been growing strongly,both organically and inorganically. The company has successfully acquiredeight companies in eight years, which scaled up KPIT's revenue many fold.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: KPIT has a strong foothold in the manufacturing spaceand can look to expand it further to emerging geographies. The company, inour view, can expand its footprints into other growth areas like energy andutilities and lifesciences and healthcare, which can even help in de-riskingits product portfolio.
Competitive position: KPIT is a niche IT services company; It is a leader inthe auto engineering space and is amongst the largest offshore vendors inthis space in India. KPIT faces huge client concentration risk as it derives~22% of its revenue from Cummins.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsNiche focus on the manufacturing industry segment: During 4QFY2010-2QFY2012, KPIT reported a stellar revenue CQGR of 8.7% on the back ofrecovery in its anchor vertical, manufacturing. Currently, KPIT is well placedto benefit from fundamental changes in the auto industry and increasinguse of electronics in the auto industry's end-products. However, the company'sentire focus on the manufacturing vertical makes us slightly cautious aboutits FY2013 growth outlook, if any slowdown kicks in developed economies.Thus, we expect organic USD revenue to grow by 8.5% yoy in FY2013.Also, we have not built in any impact of Revolo (hybrid technology solutionfor automobiles to be developed in a JV with Bharat Forge) in our estimatesdue to poor visibility.
Margin improvement looks challenging: Even though the company is growingahead of other IT companies in terms of its revenue, on the operating frontit is displaying a muted performance since the past few quarters even aftermanagement's repeated commentary of trying to improve it. Also, due tolimited margin levers in hand other than INR depreciation (as employee pyramidis almost rationalized and SG&A costs are optimal), the company's EBIT isexpected to remain at 12.0% and 11.5% for FY2012 and FY2013, respectively,from 11.0% in FY2011.
Valuations: The stock is trading at moderate valuations of 8.9x FY2013EEPS. We recommend Accumulate with a target price of `̀̀̀̀163, valuingthe stock at 10x FY2013E EPS.

Company BackgroundPersistent is a leading player in the global outsourced software productdevelopment (OPD) market and has service offerings across the variousstages of product lifecycle. The company primarily focuses on the infrastructure,telecom and lifesciences industry segments. Persistent has over 18 yearsof experience working with software product companies and has developedand released more than 3,000 products till now. The company has investedand plans to continuously invest in new technologies and frameworks in theareas of cloud computing, analytics, enterprise collaboration and enterprisemobility.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Persistent has a dominant market share of ~16% (inCY2010) in the Indian OPD market. As per IDC, of the global size of US$40bnin 2010 for R&D and product engineering, the Indian OPD market accountedfor ~US$1bn. The offshore segment of the global OPD market in 2010crossed the US$10bn mark and is expected to report a 19% CAGR toUS$16bn by 2014. Hence, Persistent, with its existing capabilities, can potentiallyaverage 10-15% growth annually.
Competitive position: Persistent is a leading player in the niche OPD marketwithin the IT industry. The company caters to ISVs across the entire productdevelopment chain. As the company's revenue profile is entirely discretionaryin nature, Persistent faces higher risk than its peers to its revenue profile incase of any slowdown.
Nature of business: High RoE business, as it requires skilled workforcerather than heavy capex; Exposed to currency fluctuations and, to an extent,any severe slowdown in the U.S. and Europe.
Current Investment ArgumentsEstablished footprint in the resurging OPD market: Persistent is witnessinga strong uptick in its deal pipeline, as clients are flocking to generate newproducts in a shorter time to capture market share. This is driving manyISVs and wireless equipment manufacturers to spend on R&D and engineeringservices. Thus, Persistent is expected to post USD revenue CAGR of 14.8%over FY2011-13E. But these spends are highly discretionary in nature, thusexposing the company to a number of risks in case of any economic slowdown.
Optimal margin levers in hand: On the operating front, Persistent has adequatemargin levers, such as 1) employee pyramid rationalization; 2) higher revenueproductivity due to the expected increase in IP-led revenue contribution;3) a gradual increase in utilization to 74.7% in FY2013 from 74% in 3QFY2012;and 4) INR depreciation against USD. We expect the company’s EBIT marginto increase to 16.9% and 17.0% for FY2012 and FY2013, respectively,from 14.9% in FY2011.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at fair valuations of 9.1x FY2013EEPS. We recommend a Neutral rating on the stock, valuing it at 9.5xFY2013E EPS, owing to risks to its revenue profile in case of any economicslowdown.

Data-based revenue to be the next growth driverThe Indian telecom sector is the second largest telecom market in the worldafter China with over 800mn subscribers and 14 operational service providerscurrently. In the past few years, the industry has witnessed accelerated growthof 31% in its subscriber base due to scorching growth in the wireless space.
Investment argumentsData-based revenue - Next leap of growth for Indian telecom players:Globally, introduction of 3G services in various economies has resulted in asurge in data traffic of mobile operators. We expect this trend to replicate inIndia post the launch of 3G services. Currently, non-voice revenue contributesmerely 10% to the overall industry's revenue in India, which is much lowerthan other countries where the contribution of data-based revenue is 20-35%.We expect contribution of non-voice revenue in the Indian telecom industry toreach 20-22% by FY2015, which is expected to improve the current ARPUprofile of telecom operators. Growth in voice-based services is expected tostabilize at 5-6% from here on, but non-voice services are expected to growby 10-15%.
Regulatory uncertainty persists: TRAI has deemed that any spectrum heldbeyond 6.2MHz in a circle is 'excess spectrum' and has levied a one-time feeon the excess spectrum held by any operator based on a market-based valueof the spectrum for each circle. As per TRAI's recommendations, the liabilityfor Bharti due to the above-said issue arises to ~`2,870cr, while the impactfor Idea boils down to ~`1,085cr. Also, telecom licenses in India will startcoming for renewals from 2014, which will again pose a financial liability infront of telecom companies. In FY2015 and FY2016, license renewals forBharti and Idea are due in eight and nine circles, respectively. These renewals,as per TRAI's recommendations, will require Bharti and Idea to shell out ̀ 5,500crand `5,300cr, respectively, for the contracted spectrum (up to 6.2MHz).
Outlook and valuationThe Indian telecom sector is currently experiencing heat due to a number ofpolicy uncertainties related to spectrum and license fee payments. Also, INRhas depreciated sharply by ~10-12% against USD in the past four months,which has increased the liabilities of telecom companies like Bharti and RComin INR terms due to huge forex debt in their books.
In our view, the telecom sector is poised for improvement in its revenue mix,as data revenue starts to pick post the launch of 3G. Tariff war in voice-basedservices, which was launched by new players, has turned into a curse fortheir own sustainability. We do not expect further price war amongst telecomcompanies, as evidenced by the rational pricing move by various telecomplayers for 3G services. We prefer Bharti amongst telcos due to its low-costintegrated model (owned tower infrastructure), potential opportunity to scaleup in Africa, established leadership in revenue and subscriber market share,and relatively better KPIs. However, overall due to the risk of increasing licenseand spectrum charges, slowing voice growth, higher debt/interest burden (adjustedfor forex movement) as well as expensive valuations (especially for Bharti),we remain Neutral on the sector.

Data-based revenue - Next leap of growth for Indiantelecom players
Launch of 3G services
Globally, data has started to dominate revenue growth of largetelecom players post the launch of 3G. Introduction of 3G servicesin various economies has resulted in a surge in data traffic ofmobile operators. We expect this trend to be replicated in Indiapost the launch of 3G services. Currently, non-voice revenuecontributes merely 10% to the overall industry's revenue in India,which is much lower than other countries where contributionof data-based revenue is 20-35%.
Telecom
Launch of 3G in any country has aided in the growth of datarevenue considerably. For most of the large telecom players allover the world, data-based revenue is growing in high teensand mid-twenties. However, overall growth of companies is inhigh single digits or low double digits. We expect contributionof non-voice revenue in the Indian telecom industry to reach20-22% by FY2015, which is expected to improve the currentARPU profile of telecom operators.

Low internet penetration
Internet penetration in India stands very low at merely 7% asagainst other countries where internet penetration is above 25%.Also, mobile internet user base in India is very less as comparedto other countries. With the increasing affordability of smartphones after the launch of 3G services, we expect internetusers on mobile phones to grow in tandem with this. Also, mobilehandset manufacturing companies are trying to expand theirapplication store to tap more and more customers. Based onthese factors, we expect the Indian telecom sector's revenuegrowth to be led by data-based services. We expect the system
Key concerns
Regulatory concerns
The telecom sector in India is currently surrounded by a numberof policy uncertainties related to spectrum and license fee payments.TRAI released the much-awaited new telecom policy in October2011, which was a qualitative extension of the proposed draftin February 2011. The draft just laid the background for theforthcoming strategies to be adopted by the Department ofTelecom (DoT); however, it lacked details on spectrum and license-related issues as well as on M&A policies in the sector.Following are few regulatory issues looming around the playersin the sector:
Excess spectrum: TRAI has deemed that any spectrum heldbeyond 6.2MHz in a circle is 'excess spectrum' and has levieda one-time fee on the excess spectrum held by any operatorbased on a market-based value of the spectrum for each circle.These prices are for spectrum in the 1,800Mhz band for a periodof 20 years. Also, TRAI has suggested that the price of 800MHzshould remain same as 900MHz, i.e., 1.5 times the price of1,800MHz spectrum. The impact of the currently given pricingon telecom companies is as follows:

Telecom
License renewals: Telecom licenses in India were issued witha validity of 20 years, so licenses will start coming up for renewalsfrom 2014. In FY2015 and FY2016, license renewals for Bhartiand Idea are due in eight and nine circles, respectively; andthis time, as per TRAI's recommendations, licenses will be givenfor a period of 10 years. These renewals, as per TRAI'srecommendations, will require Bharti and Idea to shell out ̀ 11,500crand ̀ 9,100cr, respectively, for the total spectrum these companieshave, out of which `5,500cr and `5,300cr, respectively, wouldbe for contracted spectrum (up to 6.2MHz).
License fee: In India, telecom operators give a fraction of theiraggregate gross revenue (AGR) as license fees. Currently, licensefee is 10% for Metro and A circle, 8% for B circle and 6% forC circle. TRAI has recommended a uniform license fee of 6%across all circles, to be achieved gradually over the next fouryears. However, DoT has come up with a suggestion to levy auniform license fee of 8%. This, if implemented, will be EBITDAaccretive for all incumbents, as a major part of their revenuecomes from Metro and A circles.
Heavy debt and adverse forex movements
The balance sheet of all major telecom operators is highly stretcheddue to heavy debt in it, raised mainly to pay the 3G spectrumfees. In addition to that, Bharti raised US$9.7bn loan when itacquired Zain in June 2010. Due to this, the balance sheet oftelecom players is exposed to interest rate scenarios and foreignexchange fluctuations. Players in the telecom sector (especiallyBharti) continue to be haunted by sharp INR depreciation dueto huge forex debt in their books. Bharti has foreign currencydenominated loans worth ~US$11.5bn in its books. Given therecent INR depreciation against USD, the company is sufferingfrom higher interest outgo and higher principal repayments,which are negatively affecting its profitability.
Bharti, as per its accounting policy, is accounting for forex lossoccurred on interest being paid on forex debt in the profit andloss statement; however, the forex loss on balance sheet items(revaluation losses) is included in the foreign currency translationreserve. Due to the steep INR depreciation over the past fourmonths (~15%), even after reporting ~`2,240cr of profit in1HFY2012, the company’s net worth is standing almost flatfrom FY2011 (`51,623cr) to 2QFY2012 (`51,258cr), as theforeign currency translation reserve is taking a hit, moving from`1,402cr to –`736cr.
Currently, the effective interest cost of Bharti is ~5.4%, whichis much lower than the domestic interest cost. Bharti, due tohuge forex debt in its books, is always exposed to the risk thatthe effective interest costs might turn out to be higher thanreported costs in the long run, courtesy foreign currency movement,if interest rate parity kicks in. Keeping this scenario in mind, ifwe were to assume effective interest costs to be ~10.5% (nearerto domestic borrowing cost), the interest outgo of Bharti wouldincrease manifold. This would increase Bharti's interest costby 100% and FY2013E EPS would be reduced to `15.9 from`22.2, thus implying that Bharti would be trading at very expensivevaluations of 22-23x PE.
Industry trends
Momentum in net subscriber addition declines
Over the past six months, net subscriber addition run rate acrossall operators has declined significantly. Over September-November2011, subscriber net addition was weak (lowest since the lastfew years) across all telecom operators. Indian subscriberbase grew at an average rate of merely 0.7% mom, led byincumbents such as Idea, which added 3.8mn subscribers fromSeptember-November 2011. Idea was followed by RCom, Bharti,Vodafone and Aircel, which added 2.0mn, 1.9mn, 1.8mn and1.2mn subscribers over September-November 2011, growingat an average rate of 0.7%, 0.6%, 0.6% and 1.0% mom,respectively. Amongst new entrants, Uninor emerged as a surpriseby adding 4.5mn subscribers over September-November 2011,leaving behind all other telecom players.

Outlook and valuationThe Indian telecom sector is currently experiencing heat dueto a number of policy uncertainties related to spectrum andlicense fee payments. Also, INR has depreciated sharply by~15% against USD in the past four months, which has increasedthe liabilities of telecom companies like Bharti and RCom inINR terms due to huge forex debt in their books. This has ledto a sharp correction in the stock prices of Bharti, Idea andRCom.
In our view, the telecom sector is poised for improvement in itsrevenue mix, as data revenue starts to pick post the launch of3G. Tariff war in voice-based services, which was launched bynew players, has turned into a curse for their own sustainability.We do not expect further price war amongst telecom companies,as evidenced by the rational pricing move by various telecomplayers for 3G services. We prefer Bharti amongst telcos dueto its low-cost integrated model (owned tower infrastructure),potential opportunity to scale up in Africa, established leadershipin revenue and subscriber market share, and relatively betterKPIs. However, overall, due to the risk of increasing licenseand spectrum charges, slowing voice growth, higher debt/interestburden (adjusted for forex movement) as well as expensivevaluations (especially for Bharti), we remain Neutral on the sector.

RMS vs. SMS
As per the revenue market share (RMS) data for 2QFY2012,Bharti leads at 30.8% with subscriber market share (SMS) of19.9%, whereas Idea has its RMS and SMS at 14.0% and11.5%, respectively. RMS for Bharti and Idea is higher thanSMS, which indicates that the quality of subscribers added bythese companies is good. On the contrary, in case of RCom,SMS is at 16.9%, which is much ahead of RMS that is only at8.2%. This is evident from the ARPU profile of these companies;also, RCom has peak VLR of merely 63.5% (in September 2011)as posed to its peers Bharti, Idea and Vodafone - the peakVLR of these companies varies from 80-92% (for September2011). Thus, though the pace of subscriber addition sportedby each of the companies remains modest, additions made byBharti and Idea are value additions, whereas those by RComare more of volume additions.

Company BackgroundBharti Airtel (Bharti) is India's leading telecommunication service provider,offering mobile services in all the 22 circles of the country and having asubscriber base of 175mn. In 2010, Bharti acquired Zain's telecom businessin 15 countries of Africa and is currently present in 17 African countries(48.4mn subscribers). The company is also present internationally, inSri Lanka (1.5mn subscribers) and Bangladesh (4.3mn subscribers). Bhartialso holds a 42% stake in Indus Towers, a JV between Bharti, Vodafone andIdea Cellular.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The Indian telecom industry draws only 10% of itsrevenue from non-voice/data services, while telecom industries in the restof the world derive 20-35% of their revenue from non-voice services. Thus,we expect data revenue to pick up for Indian players, taking India closer toworld averages after the recent launch of 3G services. Bharti, having higherpaying subscribers (indicated by its ARPU profile), is likely to see quicker3G conversions in its subscriber base. For voice-based services,we expect MOU growth to moderate to 5% yoy for FY2013 due to lowersubscriber addition.
Competitive position: Having the largest network and market share is aproven competitive advantage in the telecom business globally - Bharti beingthe largest player with a subscriber market share of 19.9% and revenuemarket share of 30.8% (indicating higher ARPU customers) clearly enjoysthis advantage, reflected in its higher margins.
Nature of business: Stable demand (moderately defensive sector); Highbarriers for new players to achieve viable scale of operations due to entrenchednetworks of established players.
Current Investment ArgumentsTurnaround in Africa operations: Bharti is on its way to turnaround itsAfrica business by bringing down network operating expenditure. In termsof KPIs, Bharti has managed to increase its minutes of usage (MOU) forAfrica to 128min in 2QFY2012 from 115min in FY2011 and is expectingprices to remain stable. Thus, we expect OPM of the Africa business toimprove to 26.6% and 27.0% by FY2012 and FY2013, respectively, from25.3% in FY2011.
Adverse forex movements: Bharti remains one of the key losers in thedepreciating INR scenario due to huge forex debt (~US$11.5bn) in its books.The company is always exposed to the risk that the effective interest costsmight turn out to be higher than reported costs in the long run, courtesyforeign currency movement, if interest rate parity kicks in, thereby leading toeffective costs nearer to domestic borrowing costs, which is much higher.
Valuation: In our view, the stock is trading at reasonably fair valuations of6.4x FY2013E EV/EBITDA and 15.4x FY2013E EPS. We remain Neutralon the stock owing, to uncertain regulatory environment and risk ofadverse forex movements.

Company BackgroundIdea Cellular (Idea), part of the Aditya Birla Group, is the third largesttelecommunication service provider in India in terms of revenue. The companyprovides mobile services in all the 22 circles of the country and has 104mnsubscribers. Idea had won 3G licenses in 11 out of the 22 circles in Indiaand is currently providing 3G services in 20 circles (in seven circles by 3Groaming agreements). The company also holds a 16% stake in Indus Towers,which is a JV with Bharti, Vodafone and Idea.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The Indian telecom industry draws only 10% of itsrevenue from non-voice/data services, while telecom industries in the restof the world derive 20-35% of their revenue from non-voice services. So,we expect data revenue to pick up for Indian players, taking India closer toworld averages after the recent launch of 3G services. Idea, having higherpaying subscribers (indicated by ARPU profile as compared to most of itspeers), would see quicker 3G conversions in its subscriber base.
Competitive position: Idea enjoys subscriber market share of 11.5% andrevenue market share of 14.0%. Over the past three months, though theindustry's subscriber net additions have declined sharply, Idea's subscribergrowth has been higher than the industry's. However, the company’s OPMis at ~26%, which is lagging industry leader Bharti Airtel's OPM of32-33%.
Nature of business: Stable demand (moderately defensive sector); Highbarriers for new players to achieve viable scale of operations due to entrenchednetworks of established players.
Current Investment ArgumentsRobust revenue growth; ahead of its peers: Idea has reported a revenueCAGR of 32% over FY2008-11 as compared to its peers Bharti and RCom,which reported CAGRs of 30% and 6%, respectively. Modest growth innetwork minutes coupled with tariff hike undertaken by Idea in the prepaidsegment is expected to help Idea to maintain its revenue growth momentum,aiding the company in improving its operating margin. We expect Idea topost a revenue CAGR of 20.3% over FY2011-13E.
Regulatory uncertainty persists: Idea's financial performance is relativelymore susceptible to regulatory uncertainties due to less free cash flow generation,which exposes it to relatively higher risks, if any unanticipated financial liabilitykicks in on the back of regulatory requirements. Also, in FY2015 and FY2016,license renewals are due for nine circles for Idea, which will again requirethe company to shell out more cash to fulfill the requirements.
Valuation: The stock is trading at fair valuations of 6.4x FY2013E EV/EBITDA.We remain Neutral on the stock owing to the highly uncertain regulatoryenvironment.

Company BackgroundReliance Communications (RCom), part of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group,is India's fourth largest telecommunication service provider (TSP). The companyoffers GSM and CDMA wireless services in the country, with a subscriberbase of 149mn. Other than mobile services, RCom offers broadband, wireline, DTH and passive infrastructure services. The company owns 50,000towers to provide passive infrastructure services.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: In India, internet penetration is only at ~7%. RCom,being one of the leading players in offering broadband services, has a numberof opportunities to tap in this underpenetrated market. Improvement in wirelessrevenue and reduction in free network minutes are expected to provide someimpetus to RCom's growth.
Competitive position: RCom enjoys subscriber market share (SMS) of 16.9%but has revenue market share (RMS) of only 8.2%, as it offers numerousintra-network free minutes to its subscribers, due to which its ARPU is lowerthan peers. In addition, on account of huge duplication of capex on CDMAand GSM license and spectrum, the company has poor asset utilization asits revenue are 0.28x its total balance sheet size vis-à-vis Bharti having 0.63x.
Nature of business: Stable demand (moderately defensive sector); Highbarriers for new players to achieve viable scale of operations due to entrenchednetworks of established players.
Current Investment ArgumentsDecent revenue growth: RCom has hiked voice tariffs on both on-net andoff-net calls for GSM subscribers; and on CDMA, the company has raisedtariffs on only off-net calls. Since the hike has been undertaken largely onthe GSM subscriber base, the impact of the same will be less as comparedto its peers, as the company is primarily CDMA based. Going forward,we expect RCom's mobile segment's subscriber base to record a 10.3%CAGR over FY2010-13E and ARPM to stabilize at `0.46/min in FY2013.
Highly leveraged balance sheet: As of 2QFY2012, RCom had gross debtof `33,700cr in its books, which translates to gross debt/equity of 0.95x.In March 2011, RCom signed an agreement with China Development Bankto raise ̀ 6,000cr (US$1.33bn) for refinancing 3G spectrum debt and reducinginterest expenditure. Also, RCom has raised debt to fund its FCCB amountingto US$1.1bn due in March 2012. The recent INR depreciation could resultin higher cash outgo for this as well, posing a risk to RCom's balance sheet.
Valuation: Currently, RCom is striving to reduce the debt in its books andhas again made the announcement to sell stake in its tower assets, whichmight help the company to deleverage its balance sheet and can be a positivetrigger to the stock price. We remain Neutral on the stock owing tothe highly uncertain regulatory environment and dreary outlook ofits financials.

Company BackgroundAbbott India (AIL) is a step down subsidiary of Abbott Laboratories, USA.The company has a strong distribution network with 18 distribution points,which cater to 11,000 stockists and 70,000 retailers. The company has aformulation facility at Verna, Goa. As of December 2010, AIL had an employeebase of 1,747. The company caters to five main segments - primary care,specialty care, hospital care, consumer healthcare and super specialty care,with brands such as Brufen, Cremaffin, Digene, Zolfresh, Thyronorm, Pediasure,Forane and Heptral. AIL merged with Solvay Pharma India Ltd. (SPIL) inCY2011, which was acquired by Abbott Laboratories.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: As per PwC, the Indian pharmaceutical industry isexpected to grow by 15-20% over CY2010-15E, aided by increasing percapita income, growing health insurance penetration, better health awareness,higher government expenditure, rising number of chronic diseases, innovativeproduct launches due to product patents and expanded healthcare accessto rural and semi urban markets. The increase in product portfolio after themerger with SPIL and focus on therapeutic areas like nutrition and diagnosticswill help the company to report better growth.
Competitive position: AIL became the second largest pharmaceutical MNC(in revenue terms) in India post its merger with SPIL, overtaking Pfizer andAventis Pharma. The company is well placed in the industry because of itsstrong product portfolio.
Nature of business: High entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsSynergies with SPIL to improve the business model: Amalgamation ofSPIL with AIL expanded the company's product portfolio, giving access tountapped therapeutic segments like women's health and vaccines, in additionto increasing exposure to its existing therapeutic segments. Besides increasedrevenue, the synergy between the two companies is expected to improveoperating efficiencies, thus leading to margin expansion.
Multiple revenue drivers to lead to a 24% CAGR in the top line: AIL'sadvertisement and employee costs as a percentage of sales have beencontinuously increasing since CY2006. Continued focus on these factorsis expected to drive the company's revenue going forward. Moreover, AIL'sfocus on therapeutic areas such as diagnostics and nutrition and its agreementwith Zydus Cadila (India) to market 25 products in emerging markets fromCY2013E could further add to its revenue.
Valuations attractive: AIL is a cash-rich company, hence we expect cashreserves and RoIC to increase to ̀ 594cr and 114.3%, respectively, by CY2013E.Due to excess cash in its books, we believe AIL may be a potential delistingcandidate. The stock is currently trading at PE of 14.5x its CY2013E (20%discount to its three-year median of 18.0x). We maintain our Buy view onthe stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀1,852, based on target PE of 18.0x forCY2013E.

Company BackgroundBlue Star is the largest central air-conditioning company in India. The companyclocked an annual turnover of `2,976cr in FY2011, a network of 29 offices,six manufacturing facilities and over 1,200 dealers across the country. Thecompany caters to corporate, commercial and residential customers andhas established leadership in the field of commercial refrigeration equipment,ranging from water coolers to cold storages. The company also offerscomprehensive electrical contracting, plumbing, fire fighting products, andservices. Blue Star's other businesses include marketing and maintenanceof hi-tech professional electronic and industrial products.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: We believe the surge in demand for the commercialspace and the increasing corporate and government thrust to set up anefficient cold chain infrastructure in the country are likely to boost demandfor centralized air-conditioning and cold storage in India. The cumulativenon-residential opportunity in air conditioners is estimated to be close to`38,000cr over the next five years. A number of opportunities are also expectedto arise due to the expansion and modernization of airports in the country.
Competitive position: The company has a strong brand and is India's largestcentral air-conditioning company.
Nature of business: Major presence in the commercial segment, which ishighly cyclical in nature and depends on economic growth. The companyoperates through fixed price contracts and, thus, is exposed to the risk ofany increase in raw-material prices.
Current Investment ArgumentsDemand slowdown and declining margins: There are still no signs of anypick-up in demand in the IT/commercial real estate sectors. The power sectoris also slowing down with no new projects being announced in the airportsor metro rail segments. Further, order finalizations continue to be deferred.Consequently, the company continues to witness a challenging environment,as reflected in its weak top-line growth during 2QFY2012. Overall, managementis not very optimistic and expects the current scenario to continue for thenext four-five quarters.
Copper fluctuation and forex to remain a concern: Blue Star, which hadentered into fixed price contracts, is expected to witness significant pressureon its EBIT margin going forward, due to forex volatility and copper pricefluctuations. The company has indicated healthy growth in the VRF and packagedair-conditioning markets; however, concerns on managing foreign exchangefluctuations continue to linger. Further, management expects OPM to contractby 3-5% on a yoy basis until 1QFY2013.
Valuations fair: The stock is currently trading at 19.6x and 10.2x its FY2012Eand FY2013E EPS, respectively. We expect a weak outlook for the companyuntil 1QFY2013. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

Company BackgroundFinolex Cables (Finolex) is the second largest power and telecom cablemanufacturer in India. The company has manufacturing facilities in Goa, Puneand Roorkee. Finolex specializes in PVC insulated cables, making its owncompounds from PVC resins. The company's business operations are carriedout through four broad divisions - electrical cables, communication cables,copper rods and others. The electrical cables division is the company's largestdivision. Recently, Finolex also entered the city distribution cable segment,with the commissioning of its high tension (HT) power cables manufacturingfacility near Pune.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Unorganized players account for a market share of~50% in the cables industry in India. There is a growing inclination amongconsumers to use cables with a recognized brand name, as the cost ofcables is estimated to be only ~2.5% of a building's total construction cost.Also, greater urban development requirements and needs for aesthetics meanthat in future there would be increased usage of underground cables. Thesecables have to necessarily be coated by a layer of insulation. Finolex mainlymanufactures PVC insulated cables; hence, the company is suitably placedto exploit this opportunity going forward.
Competitive position: The company has low flexibility to pass on the increasein raw-material prices as the sector faces overcapacity.
Nature of business: Commodity business; Low entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsLT and HT cables segments to drive growth: Finolex is poised to registermoderate growth over the next few years, owing to growth in the existinglow lension (LT) cables segment and entry into the HT and extra high voltage(EHV) cables verticals. In the LT cables segment, we expect organized playersto gradually gain market share as their distribution reach expands and customersincreasingly demand high-quality and branded wires. Entry into the HT cablessegment gives accessibility to the generation and distribution segment, wherethe market opportunity is estimated at `37,000cr over the next 10 years.
Tax benefits from the Roorkee plant to help in the company's turnaround:Finolex has shifted a major chunk of production to its Roorkee plant, wherethe company would have to pay low excise duty and would avail income taxbenefits. Owing to this, we expect excise duty and tax rates for the companyto remain low at 12% and 22%, respectively, in FY2013E. The companyhas further increased the capacity of this plant by 50%. Proximity to thegrowing north Indian markets and tax benefits availed by this plant are expectedto boost the company's turnaround.
Valuations attractive: At the CMP, the stock is trading at 4.0x its FY2013EEPS. The company holds a 32.4% share in Finolex Industries, which at thecurrent market value works out to `17/share. We maintain our Buyrecommendation on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀51.

Company BackgroundGoodyear India (GIL) is a subsidiary of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company,U.S., which holds a 74% stake in the company. GIL is the sixth largest tyremanufacturing company in India, with an overall domestic market share of5.1%. The company has a manufacturing facility in Ballabgarh, which producesfarm tyres, wherein the company is a dominant player. GIL also trades inradial passenger and off-the-road bias tyres manufactured by Goodyear SouthAsia Tyres Pvt. Ltd. (GSATPL), Aurangabad, pursuant to an offtake agreement.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Growing levels of farm mechanization have led to theIndian tractor industry's volumes witnessing a strong 26% CAGR over FY2009-11, leading to continued strong replacement demand for tractor tyre manufacturerslike GIL. The company also caters to the passenger radial tyre segment,which contributes ~23% to its total revenue. As per ICRA's estimates, passengercar penetration in India is at only 13 cars per 1,000 people compared toother emerging markets like Brazil (160), China (45) and Indonesia (42) -this presents a significant growth opportunity for the company.
Competitive position: GIL is the sixth largest tyre manufacturing companyin India with a market share of 5.1%. The company is a leader in the tractortyre segment, with a market share of 22.3% for tractor front tyres and 35.9%for tractor rear tyres.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate sensitive; Low entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsBrand in commodity business: GIL caters to two major segments - tractortyres and passenger vehicle tyres. The company is a market leader in thetractor tyre segment; while in the passenger vehicle tyre segment, GIL suppliesto high-end car companies like Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Mitsubishi and Porsch,for which demand is inelastic as compared to other manufacturers or segments.GIL has a brand name in the commodity business, reporting a stupendousRoIC of 412.8% for CY2010 compared to less than 20% for its peers.
Sale of Ballabgarh land - A trigger: In February 2011, GIL had announcedto the BSE that it would be selling a piece of land located in Ballabgarh,Faridabad, after it obtains necessary approvals. This may give an upsidetrigger to the stock.
Valuations attractive: GIL has cash reserves of ̀ 363cr for CY2013E; hence,we believe it may be a potential delisting candidate. Since the company isa cash-rich company, we have incorporated cash (at a 50% discount) in ourvaluations. The stock is currently trading at PE of 7.7x its CY2012E earnings,which is at a discount to its five-year median of 8.1x. We maintain our Buyrecommendation on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀401, based ontarget PE of 9x for CY2012E.

Company BackgroundGraphite India Ltd. (GIL) is India's largest and the world's fifth largest manufacturerof graphite electrodes, which is a key input in steel production through theelectric arc furnace (EAF) route. The company accounts for ~6.5% of globalelectrode capacity and has over 40 years of technical expertise in the industry.GIL's manufacturing units have currently reached almost full capacity utilizationlevels. GIL's new expansion plan at Durgapur is progressing as per scheduleand is expected to be completed by FY2012-end. The company is well poisedin the global graphite electrode industry through its quality, scale of operationsand low-cost production base.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The World Steel Association expects global steelconsumption to grow on a yoy basis by 6.5% in CY2011 and 5.4% in CY2012.These forecasts assume that developing economies would continue to driveglobal growth and the impact of European sovereign debt crisis on Asiandemand would be contained. Recovery of steel demand in developed countrieswill be relatively modest compared to the more robust growth across Asia.India's steel demand is projected to grow on a yoy basis by 4.3% in CY2011to 67.7mt and 7.9% to 73mt in CY2012. This coupled with higher contributionof EAF share to total crude steel production would directly benefit the graphiteelectrode industry.
Competitive position: GIL has a low-cost model on the back of lower employeecost. Thus, the company enjoys higher margin compared to competitors.The company has no pricing power over its products.
Nature of business: Commodity business; Strong entry barriers for newplayers.
Current Investment ArgumentsGIL set to ride on the industry's rebound: The graphite electrodes industryis expected to grow faster, compared to EAF steel production over the nextfew years, as destocking of graphite electrodes inventory at the steelmanufacturers' end is expected to reverse. GIL, with capacity expansionfrom 78,000mt/year to 98,000mt/year, to be completed by FY2012E, iswell poised to reap the benefits of this growth. We expect GIL's marketshare to increase to 9.7% by FY2013E and its top line to witness a 19.3%CAGR over FY2011-13E.
Strong labor cost advantages: GIL has strong labor cost advantages comparedto its global peers, as other companies have their plants in countries wherelabor costs are significantly higher compared to India. SGL Carbon SE, thelargest global player, has plants located mainly across Europe and NorthAmerica, while GrafTech Ltd., the second largest global player, has plantsin France, Spain, South Africa, Brazil and Mexico.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at attractive valuations of 0.9xand 0.8x its FY2012E and FY2013E BV, respectively. We have valued thestock on its five-year median of 1.1x one-year forward BV to arrive at a targetprice of `102. We countinue to maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

Company BackgroundHoneywell Automation India Ltd. (HAIL) is an 81% subsidiary of HoneywellInternational, which is a diversified technology and manufacturing leader.HAIL is a leading provider of integrated automation and software solutions.The company operates through five business units, namely process solutions;building solutions; sensing and control; environmental and combustion control;and exports. HAIL imports its products (import cost is ~27% of its net sales)from its parent; the products are assembled in local markets to form a partof its engineering contracts.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The automation industry is bound to register sustainablegrowth owing to a) increased dependence of the process industry oninstrumentation and automation and b) higher infrastructure spending acrossall sectors. For HAIL in particular, increased outsourcing contracts won byits parent would also add to its top-line growth. Assuming industry GDP (atfactor cost) to grow at CAGR of 12.2% over CY2011-13E, domestic sales(~63% of net sales) growth is expected to be at 5.2%, 5.5% and 10.6% forCY2011E, CY2012E and CY2013E, respectively.
The process industry (which constitutes ~65% of HAIL’s total revenue) hasbeen witnessing annual growth rate of 20-25% since 2008, is expected togrow in-line with India's GDP growth. The industry is currently undergoingautomation, to principally bring down costs and improve product quality,thereby increasing productivity.
Competitive position: HAIL caters to diverse segments with differing competitionlevels; however, due to its technological edge, the company is one of thepreferable vendors among peers.
Nature of business: Cyclical.
Current Investment ArgumentsClient base in the diversified sector to minimize the downside: HAILhas its presence in diversified products, industries and geographies. Thediverse client base of HAIL includes NTPC, Reliance Industries, Tata Steel,HCL and ITC in the domestic market, which provides fair growth visibility.HAIL also executes contracts won by its parent in the domestic as well asglobal market.
India seen as a global engineering base and a sourcing hub: India offerscost-effective manufacturing capabilities, which can successfully meetHoneywell's global requirements. Consequently, Honeywell is looking forwardto almost double its sourcing from India (partly from HAIL) over the next twoyears.
Valuations attractive: HAIL is trading at attractive TTM PE of 17.9x comparedto its peer average TTM PE of 26x and is at a significant discount of 35%to its five-year median PE. We recommend Buy on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀2,510, based on target PE of 18x for CY2013E earnings.

Company BackgroundHEG is a leading manufacturer and exporter of graphite electrodes used inthe EAF method of steel production. The company has the world's largestsingle-site plant of 80,000MT capacity for production of graphite electrodes.HEG is vertically integrated into power generation with a capacity of 77MW.The company has a diversified customer portfolio comprising POSCO,US Steel, Arcelor Mittal, Krupp Thyssen, Nucor, Usinor, SAIL, TISCO,Jindal and Hyundai.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The graphite industry is highly consolidated with 75%capacity contributed by the top 10 major global players. Graphite electrodeis a non-replaceable raw material used in steel production through the EAFroute. Use of the EAF method for steel production has grown from 14% inCY1970 to 29% in CY2010 and is expected to rise to ~50% by CY2020;further, global demand for steel is expected to grow by 5.4% yoy (as perWSA) in CY2012. Hence, increased steel demand along with shift to theEAF method of production will drive the company's growth.
Competitive position: HEG enjoys an advantage over global players dueto its low-cost structure, since most of the top players are located in thehigh-cost regions of U.S., Europe and Japan.
Nature of business: Cyclical and sensitive to exchange rate since the companyhas net exports of ~33% (as a percentage of net sales); Significant entrybarriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsProfit to grow by 136.7% yoy in FY2013E: Capacity expansion from 66,000MTto 80,000MT, which was expected to be operational soon, would drive thecompany's volumes going forward. Further, HEG's realization is expectedto increase by 17.7% yoy in FY2013E, subsequent to the 40-50% pricehike by global players during 3QCY2011. These factors would lead to a412bp yoy expansion in OPM from 13.2% in FY2012E to 17.3% in FY2013E,along with a 136.7% yoy increase in net profit from `48cr in FY2012E to`114cr in FY2013E.
Value addition through investment in BEL: HEG has a 25.8% stake inBhilwara Energy Ltd. (BEL), which operates in the power generation businesswith 270MW operational capacity. Based on IFC's investment in BEL for a10.8% stake (`230cr) in 2010, HEG's implied value of its stake in BELstands at ~`560cr. We have not incorporated the same in our valuations;however, it could provide a further upside to the stock.
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading at P/B of 0.9x for FY2013E,which is at a 37% discount to its five-year historical median of 1.4x. Wemaintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a target price of`̀̀̀̀213, based on a target P/B of 1.0x for FY2013E.

Company BackgroundINEOS ABS India Ltd. (INEOS), an 83% subsidiary of INEOS Global Group,is India's leading manufacturer of an engineering plastic named acrylonitrilebutadiene styrene (ABS, constitutes ~86% of the company's total revenue).The company has three manufacturing plants in Gujarat, at Nandesari (ABSproduction), Katol (SAN production) and Moxi (to blend the resins manufacturedin the former two plants). Over CY2005-10, on the back of capacity expansionand inorganic growth, INEOS reported a 13% and 33% CAGR in its topline and bottom line, respectively.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: According to CRISIL Research, the domestic ABSindustry is expected to grow by 17% yoy to 127,000 TPA in CY2011 due tohealthy demand from the automobile and home appliances segments. Therehas been a consistent gap between the demand and supply of ABS in themarket. This provides INEOS a huge opportunity to grow going forward.
Competitive position: INEOS is the market leader and holds 60% share inthe ABS resins segment and 68% share in the SAN resins segment in thedomestic market, which comprises only two players.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Sensitive to exchange rate, since 80% of itsraw material is imported.
Current Investment ArgumentsTransfer of business to Styrolution: The business of INEOS along withINEOS Nova (sister concern) and BASF (styrene, ABS and polystyrenebusinesses) has been transferred to Styrolution, a 50/50 JV of INEOS Groupand BASF. INEOS has come up with an open offer for the remaining 16.7%stake, success of which may lead to delisting of the company. The JV will belaunched on a global scale and will be a globally competitive producer ofstyrene, ABS and polystyrene, with a leading position in North America,Asia and Europe. Styrolution is estimated to report annual sales of overEUR5bn for FY2012.
Capacity expansion: As per CRISIL Research, supply of ABS should posta 17% CAGR to meet the growing demand, which is expected to witness a10% CAGR, during CY2010-15E. Assuming the market share of INEOS toremain constant at 60%, volumes for INEOS's ABS resin are likely to growby 17%, for which the company has already expanded its capacity by ~33%to 80,000 TPA in 2011.

Company BackgroundITD Cementation is a subsidiary of Thailand-based Italian Thai DevelopmentPublic Company Ltd., which holds a 70% stake in the company. ITD Cementationprovides EPC services to infrastructure projects in India. The company'sbusiness operation areas include construction of maritime structures, massrapid transit systems, hydro power, tunnels, dams, industrial structures, airports,highways, bridges, flyovers, tube heading and foundation and specialistengineering. The company's order book comprises 40% private orders and60% government orders.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: While companies in the construction sector are witnessingnear-term challenges, the long-term outlook for the sector continues to remainencouraging. Earnings growth is likely to revive in the coming years, primarilyaided by a low base and reversal in the rate cycle. The sector's fortune islikely to pick up in FY2013E and beyond, as the government is gearing upfor the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012-17), releasing new infrastructure projectsand addressing concerns about the access to long-term financing and landacquisition.
Competitive position: Despite the competition faced from its peers, thecompany is able to maintain its leadership position in the foundation andpiling work in India, which contributes almost 45% to its revenue with agross margin of 12-13%.
Nature of business: Cyclical and rate-sensitive sector.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong order book and completion of unprofitable project: ITD Cementationhas been reporting low profit in the past few years due to higher proportionof unprofitable NH I road projects in its order book. However, the companyexpects the share of NH I road projects to come down from 20% to just 5%of the current order book, which stood at `3,310cr as of March 2011. Thecompany is also planning to increase the share of high-margin projects inthe order book going forward. These factors together will help the company'sbottom line to reach `25cr in CY2012E from `9cr in CY2010.
Successful restructuring of loans to drive the bottom line: The companyis in the process of reducing its interest cost by switching some of its highinterest cost loans ( ~13%) to low interest cost loans (~11%). Successfulrestructuring of loans and reduction in cost will further drive the company'searnings.
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading at attractive valuationof 0.4x P/BV for CY2012E, which is at a 35% discount to its three-yearmedian of 0.6x. We recommend Buy on ITD Cementation with a targetP/BV of 0.5x for CY2012E and a target price of `̀̀̀̀171.

LMW diversified into the foundry segment where it manufacturesductile iron and grey iron castings in its state-of-the-art Nobake Foundry.The company also entered the CNC machine tools segment in a technicalcollaboration with M/s. Mori Seiki Co. Ltd., Japan, and is a brand leader inmanufacturing customized products currently.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: LMW is placed advantageously owing to the promisingfuture prospects of the textile industry in India. With an installed capacity of41.3mn spindles, India is the second largest player in the global textile spinningindustry, behind China with over 100mn spindles. The other countries aresmall compared to these two giants, with none of them having installedspindle capacity of more than 15mn. Being the largest player in the world'ssecond largest textile machinery market offers significant advantages to LMW,enabling it to compete effectively against the global majorsoperating in India.
Competitive position: LMW is the largest player in the India and one of theonly three players globally that manufactures the entire range of spinningmachinery. In India, the company has a high market share of around 70% inyarn spinning and preparatory machines. The company has been able tosustain this market share on the back of strong after-sales service coupledwith providing the world's best technology to customers at the cheapestrates. LMW also enjoys an edge over competition, as it caters to 1,300domestic textile players out of the total universe of around 1,600. The companyhas been innovating on technology for the past 15 years.
Nature of business: Engineering business, hence highly cyclical; Dependenton a single segment - textile spinning; High entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong order book to translate into robust sales growth: LMW has astrong order book of `4,500cr at the end of 3QFY2012, which is 2.5x itsFY2011 net sales. Further, the upturn in the spinning industry has lent aboost to the company’s order inflow. Thus, we expect a low probability oforder deferments.
Valuations attractive: Currently, the stock is trading at 11.5x and 8.7x itsFY2012E and FY2013E EPS, respectively, against its five-year median of13x one-year forward earnings. At the end of 1HFY2012, LMW had netcash worth `642cr and investments worth `154cr. The combined value ofcash and investment works out to ̀ 707/share. We have a Buy recommendationon the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀2,214, valuing it at 12x FY2013 EPS.

Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: There is an industry shift towards radial tyres in thetruck segment, where capital expenditure for radial tyres is 3.2x that of cross-ply tyres. Thus, in order to generate normalized RoCE and RoE, tyre companieswould need to earn EBITDA margins of ~20% on radial tyres in comparisonto ~9% on cross-ply tyres, leading to a 20-25% higher pricing for radialtyres. As radialization in the tyre industry is already past the S-curve inflectionpoint of 8-10%, volumes of radial tyres are likely to witness a CAGR ofmore than 25% for the next five years.
Competitive position: MRF is a leader in passenger car tyres, two andthree-wheeler tyres and tractor front tyres, with a market share of 23.9%,27.5% and 25.9%, respectively; while in the tractor rear tyre segment, thecompany holds the second position, with a market share of 25.9%.
Nature of business: Rate sensitive; Sensitive to exchange rates since thecompany has net imports of ~16% (of net sales); Low entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsStable rubber prices - A positive: Rubber prices have reduced by 21%from `258/kg in May 2011 to ̀ 203/kg in November 2011. We expect rubberprices to stabilize going forward, leading to a 100bp improvement in MRF'soperating margin, from 8.3% in SY2011 to 9.3% in SY2013E.
Reinvestment needs exceed current earnings: The debt-equity ratio ofthe tyre industry stood at 1.2x as of September 2011, leaving no scope forcompanies to raise further debt for capacity expansion. Also, consideringthe gloomy market conditions, raising equity would be difficult. Thus, it wouldbe challenging for companies to meet the rising radial tyre demand (over20% CAGR). Consequently, companies would increase tyre prices, so asto earn sufficient profit for funding the required capacity. Most companieshave already taken a price hike of 10-12% in 1HFY2012. Hence, we expectMRF's net profit to witness an 22.3% CAGR over SY2011-13E.
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading at PE of 6.0x its SY2013E,at a 21% discount to its five-year median of 8x. Hence, we maintain ourBuy recommendation on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀9,647, basedon a target PE of 8x for SY2013E.

Company BackgroundFounded in 1981, NIIT is a comprehensive education and training servicesprovider to individuals and enterprises. The company is currently present in40 countries and offers services in three business segments - individuallearning solution (ILS - 62% to revenue), school learning solutions (SLS -18% to revenue) and corporate learning solutions (CLS - 20% to revenue).NIIT's training solutions in IT, BPO, banking, executive management educationand communication and professional life skills enroll five mn learners every year.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The Indian private education sector is expected toreport at a CAGR of 19% over FY2011-15E, with growth across all thesegments, majorly led by higher education and K-12. Also, the country iswitnessing a rise in income levels, increased demand for education andgrowth in private sector participation. All this offers NIIT the potential toreport average growth of 15-20% per year.
Competitive position: NIIT is a leading IT training company in India andhas tie-ups with many foreign institutes.
Nature of business: Corporate and individual segment impacted by macroeconomic growth trends; Medium entry barriers for new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsILS and CLS business to drive growth: The ILS and CLS businesses areemerging to be NIIT's growth drivers. We expect enrollment growth for ILSto be stronger in FY2012, with strong recruitment plans announced by IndianIT majors (including Infosys and TCS), thereby resulting in demand for vocationalcourses and gross hiring targets of 45,000 and 66,000 in FY2012, respectively,leading to a revenue CAGR of 13.8% over FY2011-13E. CLS, which washeavily impacted by the downturn, has rebounded in terms of growth andhas managed to bag a strong order book of US$77.8mn (62% executablein the next three months).
Focus to improve profitability: NIIT is strategically moving towards turningasset-light by targeting more annuity-based revenue. Management aims to doso by being selective in government SLS contracts, which are highly capital-intensive and have long debtor cycles (thus impacting returns), targeting moreprivate schools in the SLS business. Also, annuity contracts bagged in CLS(related to learning products and training solutions) are expected to acceleraterevenue growth and improve margins. With the realignment of its focus, managementexpects to improve the company's profitability, reduce debtor cycle and reducedebt by ~`250cr from the proceeds of the transaction of divestment of Element-K business (NIIT's U.S. subsidiary operating in the areas of online productsfor corporates and e-learning libraries) in FY2012 itself. Hence, we expectthe company to post a PAT CAGR of 19.3% over FY2011-13E.
Valuations attractive: We value NIIT on an SOTP basis, arriving at a targetEV/EBITDA of 3.5x on FY2013E consolidated EBITDA of `176cr. Werecommend a Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀55.

Company BackgroundRelaxo Footwear (Relaxo) is a key player in the retail footwear industry. Thecompany has a strong foothold in the slippers market and a strong distributionchannel of 350 distributors and 30,000 retailers. The company currentlyhas 127 company-owned retail outlets across India, with a concentratedpresence in New Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. Withincreasing number of company-owned outlets and substantial increase inadvertisement expense for the recognition of its high-value brands (Fliteand Sparx), Relaxo has been successful in changing consumers' perceptiontowards the company from being a Hawaii slipper company to a brand providinga variety of choices to consumers, which include lightweight slippers, sportsshoes, canvas and sandals.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Assuming that Relaxo's target customers are low-incomegroup people, including labor and urban BPL population, the company hasa potential target customer base of ~52cr. However, in FY2011, Relaxosold only 8.7cr pairs of footwear, which provides the company a huge scopefor further penetration. Also, Relaxo is over concentrated in Northern India,where it sells almost 65% of its products, which gives the company a significantgrowth potential in terms of geographical expansion.
Competitive position: Relaxo, with a major market share in Hawaii slippers,is positioned next to Bata, the largest listed player in the footwear segmentin terms of sales.
Nature of business: Both into retail and wholesale business.
Current Investment ArgumentsTop line expected to grow at an 18% CAGR: We expect Relaxo's top lineto register an 18% CAGR over FY2011-13E to `950cr on the back of a12% increase in realization and changing revenue mix (high-value brandsSparx and Flite contributing 60% to the company's revenue). We also expectthis to lead to an improvement in the company's operating margin by 225bpfrom 9.6% in FY2011 to 11.9% in FY2013E.
Flite PU-Fashion to add ~`̀̀̀̀50cr to the top line by FY2013E: Relaxo launchedFlite Pu-Fashion in June 2011, a product for fashion-conscious consumerswith special features such as longevity, skid-resistance and lightweight. Thecompany has also set up a new plant at Bahadurgarh, Haryana, for the productionof this product. Flite Pu-Fashion is expected to add ~`50cr to the company'stop line by FY2013E.
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading at attractive valuationsof 6x FY2013E earnings, which is at a 30% discount to its three-year historicalmedian of 8.6x. We recommend Buy on Relaxo with a target PE of 9x forFY2013E and a target price of `̀̀̀̀420.

Company BackgroundSintex is a dominant player in the plastics business in India. The companyhas moved on to providing technology-intensive products and complete businesssolutions based on plastics. The company is currently engaged in a varietyof plastic-related businesses, such as prefabricated structures and monolithicconstruction (contributes ~43% to FY2011 revenue) and custom moldingfor the automotive, electrical equipment and medical imaging industries(contributes ~47% to FY2011revenue). In textiles, the company's productsare skewed towards the high-end and design-intensive segment of the market,which gives it high operating margins and contribute ~10% to the revenue.The company has 36 manufacturing locations, of which 20 are outside Indiathrough inorganic expansion (U.S., Europe and North Africa).
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Increasing government spending on rural India, education,health, sanitation, army barracks, cold chain solution and work shelter willspur demand for the prefab segment, which has an estimated market opportunityof ̀ 10,000cr. Higher spending on mass housing (as there would be an estimatedshortage of more than 50mn houses) and slum rehabilitation, among others,will be the major growth drivers for the monolithic segment going ahead.The custom moulding industry also offers a market opportunity of over ̀ 1,500crglobally. Further, the global textile market is worth ̀ 20,000cr, and it is growingat ~5% annually. All this presents a huge growth potential for the company.
Competitive position: Sintex has developed a strong brand presence andis the market leader in the prefab segment. The company enjoys the flexibilityto pass on any increase in raw-material prices due to the pass-through clausein its contracts with clients.
Nature of business: Capital-intensive business and dependent on governmentorders.
Current Investment ArgumentsFCCB issue overdone: Sintex's stock has taken a harsh beating on thebourses due to sharp currency fluctuation, which can result in higher outflowwhen the FCCBs mature in March 2013; in our view, this concern is a bitoverdone. The company is in quite a comfortable position when it comes toFCCB repayment in March 2013. Of the US$278mn due, the company hasUS$170mn of USD-denominated cash deposits and the remaining US$110mnis most likely be refinanced through a USD-denominated ECB.
Future growth drivers: Sintex has a strong order book in excess of ̀ 3,000crin its building material segment providing reasonable revenue visibility inthe coming years. We believe the prefabs/monolithic segment continuesto benefit, as social spending on housing/education is unlikely to be cutsubstantially. Revenue is also distributed across states/clients such as army/police/postal services.
Valuations cheap: With the recent sharp correction, the stock is available atattractive valuation on just 4.7x FY2013E earnings, post factoring in most ofthe negatives in our estimates, against its five-year average of 11.7x one-yearforward earnings. We recommend a Buy rating on the stock with a targetprice of `̀̀̀̀126, valuing the stock at 8x FY2013E earnings, which is at adiscount to its historical average.

Company BackgroundSpiceJet is India's second largest low-cost carrier (LCC), after Indigo, andthe fourth largest airline overall with a market share of 15.5% (as of November2011). The company is the only listed airline to have reported profit in FY2010-11. The company, earlier a domestic airline, has recently diversified intointernational routes; the airline is flying to Colombo and Nepal and is waitingfor clearance to fly to nearby Asian countries. Despite a weak macroeconomicenvironment, the company has been expanding its fleet size.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Long-term demand for air travel is expected to remainhigh due to the low penetration of air traffic in India. It is estimated that only43 travelers per 1,000 travel by air, which is 12 times lower when comparedto the U.S. (520/1,000), and nearly five times lower than China (215/1,000).The Indian aviation sector as a whole is going to experience enormous growthover the next 15-20 years. Airbus expects the sector to register a 10%CAGR over the next 20 years. However, the sector is witnessing low loadfactor due to excess capacity.
Competitive position: The aviation industry is a highly competitive industryand SpiceJet does not hold any sustainable competitive advantage. However,when sector load factors are low, being a 100% LCC enables higher loadfactor than full-cost carriers (FCCs); and opting for fleet addition throughoperating lease leads to a relatively healthier, flexible balance sheet for SpiceJet
Nature of business: Cyclical; Prone to over capacity due to easy availabilityof finance; Profitability impacted by higher fuel prices.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrong demand and capacity expansion to boost top line: Demand forthe aviation sector is expected to witness a 15% CAGR over FY2011-13.In the 11 months of CY2011, demand had grown by 17.6% yoy. SpiceJetcurrently has a fleet of 31 Boeing aircraft and seven Bombardier aircraft. ByFY2013-end, SpiceJet would have expanded its fleet size to 37 Boeingsand 15 Bombardiers. We expect net sales to post a 36.8% CAGR to ̀ 5,489crover FY2011-13.
High fuel cost and competition to dent margins: Due to the significantincrease in fuel cost and high competition, SpiceJet was unable to fullypass on its cost to the customer. This resulted in a significant decline in thecompany's margins, because of which the company has been reporting lossesover the past three quarters. We expect SpiceJet to report loss inFY2012 as well as in FY2013 due to high fuel cost and impractical ticketpricing by competitors.
Valuations in the near term: We value SpiceJet on P/E basis; and sincethe company is not expected to report profit, we remain Neutral on thestock. The key risk to our call is that any substantial fleet reduction by thelarger, deeply loss-making airlines could improve the operating environment forthe sector.

Company BackgroundTAJGVK is a JV between Indian Hotels Co. Ltd. (IHCL) andHyderabad-based GVK Group. The company operates in Hyderabad withthree properties - Taj Krishna with 260 rooms, Taj Deccan with 151 roomsand Taj Banjara with 122 rooms. The company also operates Taj Chandigarhwith 149 rooms and Taj Mount Road in Chennai with 215 rooms. The companyis expected to soon commence operations of its new 189-room property inBegumpet, Hyderabad, which will take its owned rooms to 1,086. The companywill also start a new 275-room five-star deluxe hotel in Santacruz, near Terminal1C of the Mumbai International Airport, under the Taj brand and will invest~`110cr in the hotel project. The hotel project is expected to be commerciallyoperational by mid-2014.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: India is the second fastest growing economy in theworld. As a result, the country is witnessing increased business activities,thus leading to more number of business travelers, both domestic and international.In addition to domestic business travelers, the number of domestic leisuretravelers is also increasing because of the overall increase in income levelsin India. Over 2000-10, average annual growth in international tourism stoodat 3.4%, increasing from 674mn in 2000 to 940mn in 2010, with emergingmarkets (5.6%) strongly outpacing advanced economies (1.8%).Over 2011-21, India is expected to register 8.8% annual growth in traveland tourism's (WTTC-Travel & Tourism 2011).
Competitive position: TAJGVK has a strong brand presence. The companyhas a strong customer base and has a leadership position in Hyderabad.
Nature of business: Cyclical and capital-intensive business; Low entry barriersfor new players.
Current Investment ArgumentsStrengthening its foothold in the Hyderabad market: TajGVK is the marketleader in Hyderabad, where it has a share of nearly 30% in premium-segmentrooms. The company is coming up with a 189-room property in Begumpetto strengthen its foothold further and to tap mid-market room demand. Thecompany also plans to add service apartments and retail space in its existingTaj Krishna property. We believe TajGVK would emerge as a prime beneficiaryof the growth in demand in Hyderabad after the expansion.
Asset-light strategy to keep balance sheet healthy: TajGVK has built itsBegumpet property using an asset-light strategy. This would require a lowercapital outlay as compared to a greenfield expansion, and we expect thecompany's debt-equity ratio to be at a comfortable level of 0.2x in FY2013E,which provides TajGVK adequate room to plan further expansions, withouthampering its balance sheet quality.
Valuations attractive: The stock is currently trading at attractive valuationsof 9.6x and 7.6x its FY2012E and FY2013E EPS, respectively. We havevalued the stock at 12x its FY2013E earnings. We maintain our Buy viewon the stock with a revised target price of `̀̀̀̀121.

Company BackgroundTata Sponge Iron (TSIL) is an associate company of Tata Steel, which holdsa 39.7% stake in the company. TSIL is a leading manufacturer of spongeiron, which is used as a raw material in steel manufacturing through the EAFroute. The company has an installed capacity of 3,90,000 TPA and a 26MWcaptive power plant based on waste heat recovery from its kilns. The companyis trying to get into coal mining through its 45% stake in Talcher coal blockin Orissa, with estimated reserves of 120mn tonnes.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: Sponge iron is used as a substitute of scrap in themanufacturing of crude steel by EAF method, which is used in 60% of crudesteel production. Increasing scrap prices and declining supply have led tohigher demand for sponge iron. In addition, the company is in the processof backward integration into coal mining and power generation. Once miningactivities at Talcher block begin, the company's OPM will gradually improveas coal constitutes ~55% of its raw-material cost. TSIL also plans to expandits power-generation capacity to 51MW over the next two to three years.
Competitive position: TSIL is better placed in the industry owing to healthyrelations with its customers. Unlike TSIL, most major sponge iron manufacturersare forward integrated, as they are also involved in the manufacture of steel,thereby reducing competition for TSIL.
Nature of business: Cyclical; Low entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsAssured supply of iron ore from Tata Steel: TSIL has a long-term supplyagreement with its associate company Tata Steel, for the assured supply ofiron ore, which insulates it from the price volatility in the spot market.
Approval on coal block - A trigger: TSIL has deposited money for the firstphase of land acquisition with the Orissa government and has receivedenvironmental clearance for the block (Talcher). However, forest clearancefor the block is currently pending. Progress on the same could be a potentialtrigger for the stock.
Attractive valuations: TSIL is a debt-free company with cash reserves of`188cr and RoIC of 57.6% for FY2011. We expect the company's revenueto witness a 16% CAGR over FY2011-13E, with cash reserves of `221crand RoIC of 44% for FY2013E. The stock is currently trading at attractivevaluations with P/B of 0.6x for FY2013E, which is at a ~28% discount to itsfive-year median of 0.9x. Hence, we maintain our Buy recommendationon the stock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀382, based on target P/B of 0.9x forFY2013E.

Company BackgroundTVS Srichakra (TVSSL), a part of the TVS Group, is a leading manufacturerof two and three-wheeler tyres in India with a market share of 25% (in FY2011).TVSSL manufactures a variety of tyres, including industrial pneumatic tyres,farm and implement tyres, skid steer tyres, multipurpose tyres and floatationtyres, for the export market, which constitutes 11% of its revenue. The companyhas increased its installed capacity of automotive tyres by 170% to 3.3crunits over FY2009-11 to meet the increasing demand for two and three-wheeler tyres. TVSSL earns 58% of its revenue from the OE segment, 30%from the replacement segment and the rest 11% from exports.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The Indian two-wheeler industry is expected to growat a 13% CAGR over FY2011-13E, which is likely to drive volume at a 10%CAGR over FY2011-13E for TVSSL. In addition, the company is increasingits focus on the replacement and export segments, which are likely to driveits revenue. Also, TVSSL has increased its debt to `385cr in 1HFY2012 forthe expansion plan at the Madurai plant to increase its SKUs in order toincrease the number of segments it caters to.
Competitive position: The company is the second largest player with amarket share of 25% (in FY2011) in the two and three-wheeler tyre segments,next to MRF - who is the leader with a 28% market share.
Nature of business: Rate-sensitive sector; Dependent on the two and three-wheeler population growth.
Current Investment ArgumentsVolume growth to drive operating leverage and improve margins: Weexpect the company's volume to witness an 10% CAGR over 2011-13E,led by ramp-up in capacity utilization from 48% in FY2011 to 58% in FY2013E.The leverage benefits, along with expected softening of rubber prices goingforward, will lead to 99bp expansion in operating margin to 9.3% in FY2013Efrom 8.4% in FY2011.
Increase in promoters' stake - A positive for the company: TVSSL's promotershave increased their stake from 39.5% in September 2008 to 44.7% inDecember 2012. This is a positive signal for investors, as it demonstratesthe confidence of the promoters in the company's future growth outlook.
Valuations attractive: The stock is trading at attractive valuations of 4.0xFY2013E earnings, which is at a 24% discount to its five-year historicalmedian of 5.3x. We recommend Buy on TVSSL with a target PE of 6x forFY2013E and a target price of `̀̀̀̀478.

Company BackgroundVesuvius India Ltd. (VIL) is a subsidiary of Vesuvius Group Ltd., U.K.(a wholly owned subsidiary of Cookson Group Plc.), which holds a 55.6%stake in the company. VIL provides refractory products and services for theconstruction and maintenance of industrial equipment and processes.The company caters to different industries such as iron and steel plant;CFBC and other boilers; aluminium calciner, aluminium melting and holdingfurnaces; and DRI plants and iron pellet plants. The company is a supplierof refractories to large companies such as SAIL, JSW Steel, Rashtriya IspatNigam, ESSAR and L&T.
Structural SnapshotGrowth opportunity: The refractory market in India constituted ~3.5% ofthe global refractory sales in FY2010, of which ~28% was imported fromChina. About 75% of the refractories produced are used in the iron andsteel industry. Global refractory demand is expected to witness a 5.3% CAGR(as per Freedoniea Group, a market research firm) over CY2009-14E. Asper World Steel Association (WSA) estimates, global steel demand is expectedto increase by 5.4% yoy in CY2012E, while India's steel demand is estimatedto grow by 7.9% yoy in CY2012 due to increased infrastructure demand.
Competitive position: VIL is a market leader in the Indian refractory market,with a market share of 25%. The company is well placed in the industry dueto its strong customer base.
Nature of business: High entry barriers.
Current Investment ArgumentsReduction in imports to provide huge opportunities: About 30-35% ofthe total refractories are imported in India, which we believe would reducegoing forward due to capacity expansion plans of ~15% in CY2011 by majordomestic players. This would lead to substitution of imports by domesticplayers.
Capacity expansion to drive revenue growth by CY2012E: VIL doubledthe capacity of its Kolkata plant from 400 pieces per day to 800 pieces perday, which was expected to be operational by CY2011. The company's revenueis expected to post a ~17.1% CAGR over CY2010-12E, primarily driven byimport substitution and higher steel demand.
Valuations: We expect the stock to rerate on the back of net profit reportinga 13.5% CAGR over CY2010-12E. The stock is currently trading at PE of10.6x its CY2012E earnings, which is attractive for an MNC with no debtand RoIC of 42.4% for CY2010. Thus, we maintain our Buy view on thestock with a target price of `̀̀̀̀401, based on a target PE of 13x for CY2012E.
