In our MHCV dealer conference, we hosted dealers from the states of Uttar

Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat as well as Industry experts, to check the

demand pulse. MHCV demand outlook remains positive and volume is

expected to grow in double digits in FY19 for these dealers, due to

replacement demand, strong sales of construction tippers, partial overloading

restrictions and proliferation of the hub & spoke model. Freight availability

remains healthy from sectors such as Cement, Metals, E-commerce, FMCG

etc. Preference towards higher tonnage vehicles persists due to better cost

economics, partial overloading restrictions and consolidation of warehouses

by logistics providers and online sellers. Dealers and Industry experts

addressed two major concerns: 1) Overloading restrictions have not been

relaxed and still remain in place in Rajasthan and only partially eased in UP,

and 2) Government is not working on any formal proposal to increase truck

axle load by 20-25% for multi-axle vehicles. We remain positive on MHCV

upcycle and expect Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors to be the key

beneficiaries. Ashok Leyland remains one of our Top Picks, with a Target Price

of Rs186, valued at 12x FY20E EV/EBITDA and value of investment in Hinduja

Leyland Finance Ltd at Rs5/share.

Key takeaways from Tata Motors MHCV dealer – Rajasthan (West India)

We hosted a TTMT dealer from Rajasthan and he expects MHCV volume growth of 20-

25% in FY19 (vs 20% growth in FY18). He is one of the large dealers in Rajasthan, with

volume of ~200 units/month.

Rajasthan has been one of the more dominant states in terms of MHCV volume

performance, with 46% yoy growth in Q4FY18 v/s 19% yoy growth at all-India level. The

state is a large market for MHCVs due to the presence of Cement, Metals and Granite

industries.

Overloading restrictions have not been relaxed and still remain in place in Rajasthan.

This dealer expects strong growth of 20-25% in FY19, supported by replacement

demand, restrictions on overloading and strong sales of construction tippers. TTMT has

given a target of 16% volume growth for FY19.

In Q1FY19, volume increased to ~480 units v/s 200 units yoy due to a low base (led by

BS4 and GST transitions). Q1FY19 volume was affected by supply constraints for ARAI

certified trailers. This issue has been sorted out, as registration of non-ARAI certified

trailers has been allowed.

In Q2FY19, volume is expected to increase to ~900 units v/s 800 units yoy.

Replacement demand for higher tonnage vehicles remains strong due to better cost

economics, overloading restrictions and consolidation of warehouses by logistics

providers and online sellers. Rajasthan is witnessing a shift from 25T to 31T/37T

vehicles, and from 40T to 49T vehicles.

Transport operators are replacing BS3 vehicles with BS4 vehicles. Replacement

demand is expected to further strengthen in Q4FY20, before the transition to BS6

emission norms, as truck prices may increase by Rs100,000-150,000 post the transition.

Cement industry is the major demand driver in Rajasthan. Improving cement volume

and commencement of new plants (by Dalmia Cement and Emami) over the next 12-18

months are expected to support freight availability.

Discounts are increasing for Tractor Trailers as June-August period is seasonally weak.

Discounts have increased from Rs300,000-400,000 in Q4FY18 to Rs400,000-500,000.

TTMT is gaining market share due to new launches, aggressive pricing/marketing efforts,

service/warranty initiatives etc. Major competitors are AL and M&M. Bharat Benz does not

have a major presence in Rajasthan.

Dealer inventory stands at ~30 days.

There is no shortage of drivers for MHCVs.

Fleet operators prefer trucks fitted with Bridgestone and Apollo Tyres.

Key takeaways from Ashok Leyland MHCV dealer – Uttar Pradesh (North India)

We hosted AL dealer from Uttar Pradesh and he expects MHCV volume growth of 15-20%

in FY19. He is one of the large MHCV dealers in the state, with volume of ~100 units/month.

Uttar Pradesh has been one of the stronger states in terms of MHCV volume performance,

with 46% yoy growth in Q4FY18 v/s 19% yoy growth at the all-India level.

Despite relaxation in overloading restrictions in few segments (such as natural sand,

crushed stone etc), this dealer expects positive growth of 10% for the industry in FY19,

owing to continuing growth in intermediate, long-haul and construction tipper segments.

The dealer expects to outpace underlying industry with a growth of 15-20%.

On a sequential basis, volume during June-August is expected to be lower due to

seasonality (relatively lower volume during monsoon season). This has led to an increase

in discounts by ~Rs50,000 for HCVs in comparison to Q4FY18.

Customer preference continues to move towards higher tonnage vehicles due to better cost

economics and partial overloading restrictions.

AL’s iEGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) technology trucks have been well accepted by

customers. Fuel efficiency is broadly similar with TTMT’s trucks.

AL’s HCV trucks are priced ~5% lower compared to TTMT’s trucks. Mahindra & Mahindra’s

VECV trucks are priced lower than AL’s trucks.

AL has taken price hikes of ~2% in Q1FY19 to pass-on commodity inflation.

Dealer inventory stands at ~30 days.

Key takeaways from Ashok Leyland dealer – Gujarat (West India)

We hosted AL dealer from Gujarat and he expects MHCV volume growth of 20-25% in

FY19. He is one of the large MHCV dealers in Gujarat, with sales of ~200 units/month.

Gujarat has been one of the weaker states in terms of the volume performance of MHCVs,

with 6% yoy growth in Q4FY18 v/s 19% yoy growth at the all-India level.

Post the weak performance in FY18, this dealer expects 20-25% growth in FY19. AL has

given a target of 18% volume growth for FY19.

FY19 volume growth is expected to be driven by improvement in replacement demand and

strong sales of construction tippers. Freight availability remains healthy from sectors such

as Cement, Metals, E-commerce, FMCG etc. Also, improvement in EXIM trade is driving

demand for Tractor Trailers.

Q1FY19 volume grew by 80% yoy, supported by a low base. The volume in the quarter

was the highest in the last 5 years. Q2FY19 volume growth is expected at 25-30% yoy.

AL’s iEGR technology trucks have been well accepted by customers and no major

problems have been reported in Gujarat.

AL has taken price hikes of ~2% in Q1FY19 to pass-on commodity inflation.

Discounts remain at broadly similar levels, at Rs400,000-500,000 for Tractor Trailers.

Any increase in truck axle load is expected to result in quicker wear-and-tear of the vehicles,

and large fleet operators may not resort to higher loading.

If government implements mandatory scrappage policy for over 20 year old vehicles, it

could notably aid demand from FY21 onwards.

Dealer inventory stands at ~30 days.

Key takeaways from Industry Expert – Indian Foundation of Transport Research

and Training (IFTRT)

We hosted Mr. S P Singh, Senior Fellow & Coordinator, IFTRT and he believes that the

government is not working on any formal proposal to increase truck axle load by 20-25%

for heavy vehicles.

The expert believes that the government would not increase truck axle load by 20-25% for

multi axle vehicles. Increase in truck axle load may lead to deterioration of roads and higher

accidents. Assuming there is an increase in axle load, it would be done on retrospective

basis. The last increase in truck axle load happened in 1988.

Share of higher tonnage Tractor Trailers has been increasing in overall MHCV volume. This

trend has been fuelled by an increase in the contractual business (from mere 7-10% a

decade ago to 25-30%). Earlier contracts were for 6 months only, while now industrial users

are offering dedicated business for 3-4 years but include contractual conditions like

technical specifications, age of the vehicle, size and material of the container (aluminium,

steel or insulated etc). Also, the shift towards higher tonnage vehicles is supported by

greater cost efficiency and driver shortage.

Truck rentals remained firm in June’18 despite fall in diesel prices, as fleet utilization was

supported by arrival of fruits/vegetables and improvement in factory output. Also, freight

rates persisted at higher levels due to truckers’ strike.

With regards to E-way bill implementation, the expert believes that it is too early to gauge

the benefits in terms of shift of market share from unorganized to organized players,

reduction in tax evasions etc. Increase in intra-state E-way bill generation threshold from

Rs50,000 to Rs100,000 by Maharashtra and West Bengal dilutes the potency of the

regulation.

Implementation of scrappage policy would be difficult as majority of old trucks are plying in

rural areas. If the government implements the scrappage policy for over 20 year old

vehicles on a voluntary basis, the same may not support demand materially, as it does not

make economic sense for old truck owners to buy new trucks.

Number of trips per month has not increased in past one year despite removal of border

check-posts due to GST implementation. This trend indicates initial signs of over-capacity.

Improvement in private investments and faster GDP growth are essential for higher freight

availability and improvement in truck sales volume.

Key takeaways from CV/PV Tyre dealer – Maharashtra (West India)

We hosted a multi-brand tyre dealer from Maharashtra and he expects double-digit growth

to persist in Truck & Bus Radial (TBR) and Passenger Vehicle (PCR) tyres over the next

few years. He is a large tyre retailer/distributor in Maharashtra with revenue of Rs400mn.

In FY18, the dealer witnessed strong demand for TBR tyres manufactured by domestic

players, with growth over 20%, driven by lower imports of Chinese tyres and radialization.

Imports of Chinese tyres have significantly declined (by over 50% from peak levels) since

demonetization and increase in duties.

Demand for TBR tyres remains robust due to increasing radialization. Radialization in the

replacement market is expected to increase from current ~50% to 70-80% over the medium

term. This would result in lower demand of Truck & Bus Bias (TBB) tyres.

Demand for PCR tyres is expected to grow in double digits. Realization is also expected to

increase due to shift towards larger tyres. For instance, 12-13” tyres cost Rs5,000-6,000,

while 13-14” tyres cost almost double at Rs13,000-14,000.

Domestic players have gained share from Chinese players since demonetization and

increase in duties (imposition of anti-dumping duty and import duty). The difference in

pricing has narrowed to 10-15% between domestic TBR tyres and China/Thailand TBR

tyres. Among the domestic players, Apollo Tyres and JK Tyres are the major gainers in

market share.

Apollo Tyres and JK Tyres are gaining market share from CEAT in the 2W tyre segment by

offering higher margins to CEAT’s distributors.

Domestic tyre companies may lose market share in the PV segment, as international

companies (such as Bridgestone, Continental, Pirelli, Michelin, Yokohama etc) have strong

product portfolio in large size tyres and their products have received a positive response

from customers. Also, international companies are offering higher credit period to dealers

compared to domestic companies.

Tyre retreading segment had been adversely impacted by increasing penetration of

Chinese tyres. Due to the reduction in market share of Chinese tyres, retreading segment

is poised for a recovery.

Ashok Leyland – Best proxy on MHCV upcycle

MHCV volume have recovered from Q3FY18 onwards on the back of higher sales of

construction tippers, partial restrictions on overloading, proliferation of hub & spoke model

(due to GST implementation) and gradual improvement in industrial production. AL has

registered strong growth in Q1FY19 and we expect volume momentum to sustain in

the subsequent quarters.

With an objective to insulate itself from the cyclicality of domestic MHCV business, the

company has increased focus on LCVs, Defense, Spares and Exports. Domestic LCV

volume is expected to grow at 13% CAGR over FY18-20E, supported by new

launches and ease in availability of finance.

AL has become the second largest CV exporter, with a presence in over 30 countries. We

expect 17% CAGR over FY18-20E, owing to a strong growth in Africa/Asia regions.

Defense revenue to grow at a strong pace over the medium term. Execution of existing

order book would result in cumulative revenue of Rs50bn over the next 5 years.

Products relate to transportation of goods and passengers.

We have built in revenue/earnings CAGR of 16%/31% over FY18-20E with ROE of

~30% and average free cash flow of ~Rs19bn.

We recommend BUY with TP of Rs186 based on 12x FY20E EV/EBITDA and value of

investment in Hinduja Leyland Finance Ltd (HLF) at Rs5/share.

Risks: Weak macro-economic environment, delay in execution of infrastructure projects,

heightened competition, adverse commodity/currency rates etc are the key risks to our call

and estimates.
