largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country is one of the G-20 major economies, a
member of BRICS and a developing economy that is among the top 20 global traders
according to the WTO. India was the 19th-largest merchandise and the 6th largest services
exporter in the world in 2013; it imported a total of $616.7 billion worth of merchandise and
services in 2013, as the 12th-largest merchandise and 7th largest services importer. India's
economic growth slowed to 4.7% for the 2013–14 fiscal years, in contrast to higher economic
growth rates in 2000s. IMF projects India's GDP to grow at 5.6% over 2014-15. Agriculture
sector is the largest employer in India's economy but contributes a declining share of its GDP
(13.7% in 2012-13). Its manufacturing industry has held a constant share of its economic
contribution, while the fastest-growing part of the economy has been its services sector -

The automotive industry in India is one of the largest automotive markets in the world. It had
previously been one of the fastest growing markets globally, but is currently experiencing flat
or negative growth rates. India's passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing
industry is the sixth largest in the world, with an annual production of more than 3.9 million
units in 2011. According to recent reports, India overtook Brazil to become the sixth largest
passenger vehicle producer in the world (beating such old and new auto makers as Belgium,
United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Mexico, Russia, Spain, France, and Brazil). Throughout the
course of 2011 and 2012, the industry grew 16-18%, selling around three million units. In
2009, India emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of passenger cars, behind Japan, South
Korea, and Thailand. In 2010, India beat Thailand to become Asia's third largest exporter of
passenger cars.

As of 2010, India is home to 40 million passenger vehicles. More than 3.7 million automotive
vehicles were produced in India in 2010 (an increase of 33.9%), making the country the
second (after China) fastest growing automobile market in the world in that year. According
to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, annual vehicle sales are projected to
increase to 4 million by 2015, no longer 5 million as previously projected.[1]
5
The majority of India's car manufacturing industry is based around three clusters in the south,
west and north. The southern cluster consisting of Chennai is the biggest with 35% of the
revenue share. The western hub near Mumbai and Pune contributes to 33% of the market and
the northern cluster around the National Capital Region contributes 32%. Chennai, houses the
India operations of Ford, Hyundai, Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan, BMW, Hindustan
Motors, Daimler, Caparo, Mini, and Datsun. Chennai accounts for 60% of the country's
automotive exports. Gurgaon and Manesar in Haryana form the northern cluster where the
country's largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is based. The Chakan corridor
near Pune, Maharashtra is the western cluster with companies like General
Motors, Volkswagen, Skoda, Mahindra and Mahindra, Tata Motors, Mercedes Benz, Land
Rover, Jaguar Cars, Fiat and Force Motors having assembly plants in the area. Nashik has a
major base of Mahindra and Mahindra with a SUV assembly unit and an Engine assembly
unit. Aurangabad with Audi, Skoda and Volkswagen also forms part of the western cluster.
Another emerging cluster is in the state of Gujarat with manufacturing facility of General
Motors in Halol and further planned for Tata Nano at their Sanand. Ford, Maruti Suzuki
and Peugeot-Citroen plants are also set to come up in Gujarat. Kolkata with Hindustan
Motors, Noida with Honda and Bangalore with Toyota are some of the other automotive
manufacturing regions around the country.

In 2011, there were 3,695 factories producing automotive parts in all of India. The average
firm made US$6 million in annual revenue with profits close to US$400 thousand.

The automobiles sector is compartmentalized in four different sectors which are as follows:

 Two-wheelers which comprise of mopeds, scooters, motorcycles and electric two-


wheelers
 Passenger Vehicles which include passenger cars, utility vehicles and multi-purpose
vehicles
 Commercial Vehicles that are light and medium-heavy vehicles
 Three Wheelers that are passenger carriers and goods carriers.

The automobile industry is one of the key drivers that boost the economic growth of the
country. Since the de-licensing of the sector in 1991 and the subsequent opening up of 100

6
percent FDI through automatic route, Indian automobile sector has come a long way. Today,
almost every global auto major has set up facilities in the country.
 
Austria based motorcycle manufacturer KTM, the established makers of Harley Davidson
from the US and Mahindra & Mahindra have set up manufacturing bases in India.
Furthermore, according to internal projections by Mercedes Benz Cars, India is set to become
Mercedes Benz’s fastest-growing market worldwide ahead of China, the US and Europe.
 
As per the data published by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), Ministry
of Commerce, Government of India, the cumulative FDI inflows into the Indian automobile
industry during April 2000 to October 2013 was noted to be US$ 9,079 million, which
amounted to 4% of the total FDI inflows in terms of US $. The production of compact
superbikes is also expected to take place in India. The country has a mass production base of
16 million two-wheelers and the several global as well as Indian bike makers are looking
forward to use it as an advantage in order to roll out sports bikes in the 250 cc capacity.
 
The world standing for the Indian automobile sector, as per the Confederation of the Indian
industry is as follows:

 Largest three-wheeler market


 Second largest two-wheeler market
 Tenth largest passenger car market
 Fourth largest tractor market
 Fifth largest commercial vehicle market
 Fifth largest bus and truck segment

However, the year 2013-2014 has seen a decline in the industry’s otherwise smooth-running
growth. High inflation, soaring interest rates, low consumer sentiment and rising fuel prices
along with economic slowdown are the major reason for the downturn of the industry.
 
Except for the two-wheelers, all other segments in the industry have been weakening. There
is a negative impact on the automakers and dealers who offered high discounts in order to
push sales. To match the decline in demand, automakers have resorted to production cuts and
lay-offs, due to which capacity utilization for most automakers remains at a dismal level.
7
 
Despite the comprehensive market being under extreme burden, the luxury car market has
observed a robust double-digit hike during the year 2013-2014, as a result of rewarding new
launches at compelling lower price points. Further, with the measured increases in the price
of diesel, the overall market continues to shift towards petrol-fuelled cars. This has led to the
growth in sales of the 'Mini' segment of the PV market by of 5.5%
 

Factors determining the growth of the industry

 Fuel economy and demand for greater fuel efficiency is a major factor that affects
consumer purchase decision that will bring leading companies across two-wheeler and
four-wheeler segment to focus on delivering performance-oriented products.
 Sturdy legal and banking infrastructure
 Increased affordability, heightened demand in the small car segment and the surging
income of the Indian population
 India is the third largest investor base in the world
 The Government technology modernization fund is concentrating on establishing
India as an auto-manufacturing hub. 
 Availability of inexpensive skilled workers
 Industry is perusing to elevate sales by knocking on doors of women, youth, rural and
luxury segments
 Market segmentation and product innovation

Employment Opportunities
There are a wide range of jobs available in the automobile industry. With the number of
vehicles available on the road today, the need and requirement for people who can fix these
machines is fast increasing. Careers like automobile technician, car or bike mechanics are a
great option. Becoming a diesel mechanic is also a significant alternative. Diesel mechanics
are responsible for repairing and servicing diesel engines. As they are also required to repair
engines of trucks and buses, other than cars, they are provided with hefty wages.
 
8
If communication with people instead of repairing cars is what interests you, then you have
the opportunity of becoming a salesperson or sales manager in an automobile company.
Career opportunities in automobile design, paint specialists, job on the assembly line and
insurance of vehicles is also available.
 
Employment Trends
The Automotive Mission Plan for the period of 2006-2016 aims to make India emerge as a
global automotive hub. The idea is to make India as the destination choice for design and
manufacture of automobiles and auto components, with outputs soaring to reach US$ 145
billion which is basically accounting for more than 10% of the GDP. This would also provide
further employment to over 25 million people by 2016 making the automobile the sunrise
sector of the economy. 
 
According to the Confederation of Indian Industry, the automobile sector currently employs
over 80 lac people. An extension in production in the automobile industry is forecasted, it is
likely to rise to Rs. 600000 crore by 2016. 
 
Future Trends in the Automobile Industry
As the auto-shows began in January 2014, the industry promised a blend of technology and
automotive. With the recession trend breaking its leashes form the past two years, 2014 is
expected to get back on track with the sales of automobiles in the country.

 Almost Self-governing cars are predicted to be on the streets by 2020


 More than half the cars on the streets are going to be powered by diesel by 2020
 Industry watcher Gartner indicates that 30 percent of motorists want parking info. The
facility is likely to come up after glitches in the infrastructure catch up.
 High Performance Hybrid cars are likely to gain greater popularity among consumers.

-By Steffi Joseph

 The Indian automobile industry has a prominent future in India. Apart from meeting the
advancing domestic demands, it is penetrating the international market too. Favoured with
various benefits such as globally competitive auto-ancillary industry; production of steel at

9
lowest cost; inexpensive and high skill manpower; entrenched testing and R & D centers etc.,
the industry provide immense investment and employment opportunities.

B) INDUSTRY ANALYSIS (AUTOMOBILE)


 Analysis Of Automobile Industry

10
The current trends of the global automobile industry reveal that in the developed countries the
automobile industries are stagnating as a result of drooping markets, whereas the automobile
industry in the developing nations, have been consistently registering higher growth rates
every passing year for their domestic flourishing domestic automobile markets.

Being one of the fastest growing sectors in the world its dynamic growth phases are
explained by the nature of competition, Product Life Cycle and consumer demand. The
industry is at the crossroads with global mergers and relocation of production centers to
emerging developing countries.

1) Five Forces Model


Michael Porter identifies five forces that influence an industry. These forces are

 Degree of Rivalry

Despite the high concentration ratio seen in the automotive sector, rivalry in
the Indian auto sector is intense due to the entry of foreign companies in the
market. The industry rivalry is extremely high with any being product being
matched in a few months by the competitors. This instinct of the industry is
primarily driven by technical capabilities acquired over years of gestation
under the technical collaboration with international players.

 Threat of Substitutes

The threat of substitutes to the automotive industry is fairly mild. Numerous


other forms of transportation are available, but none offer the utility,
convenience, independence and value offered by automobiles. The switching
cost associated with using a different mode of transportation, may be high in
terms of personal time, convenience and utility.

 Barriers to entry

The barriers to enter automotive industry are substantial. For a new company,
the start-up capital required to establish manufacturing capacity to achieve

11
minimum efficient scale is prohibitive. Although the barriers to new
companies are substantial, establishing companies are entering the new
markets through strategic partnerships or through buying out or merging with
other companies. However, a domestic company, with local knowledge and
expertise, has the potential to compete its home market against the global
firms who are not well established there.

 Supplier’s power

In the relationship between the industry and its suppliers, the power axis is
tipped in industry’s favour. The industry is comprised of powerful buyers who
are generally able to dictate their terms to the suppliers.

 Buyers’ Power

In the relationship between the automotive industry and its ultimate


consumers, the power axis is tipped in the consumers’ favour. This is due to
the fairly standardized nature and the low switching costs associated with
selecting from among competing brands.

2) BCG Matrix
In an economy, different industries are present and different industries have different growth
rate as compared to the growth of the economy. In an economy, there are a number of major
industries and they all occupy different positions in the BCG matrix according to their growth
and contribution towards the economy. In the Indian economy, some of the major sectors are
FMCG, automobiles, banking and insurance, steel, telecom, software, pharmacology and
retail sectors and these can be placed in the different positions in the matrix as shown below:

INDUSTRY BCG MATRIX

Sources: www.economictimes.com

BCG matrix is used to determine the relative position of the companies of an industry or
different SBU’s of any institution, in terms of the market growth rate and the market share of
the company in the industry. In the Indian automobile sector, the major players are Maruti
Suzuki Limited, General motors, Mahindra and Mahindra, Tata Motors, Hero Honda and
Bajaj auto. In the BCG matrix, the companies are placed in one of the following four
categories: Star, Cash Cows, Dogs and Question marks. In the Stars we place the companies
with high market growth and high market share, cash cows are the companies who have low
market growth rate and high relative market share, the category of the question marks include
the companies with low relative market share and high market growth rate and dogs include
the companies who have low relative market share and low market growth rate.

4) PEST ANALYSIS
1. Political Environment:
• The liberalization steps, such as, relaxation of the foreign exchange and equity regulations,
reduction of tariffs on imports, and refining the banking policies, have played an equally
important role in bringing the Indian Automotive industry to great heights.

Nov-14 above estimate, with ~19.5% YoY growth
Strong growth in Vans and Compact segment

 Nov-14 volumes grew by 19.5% YoY (flat MoM) to ~110,147 units (v/s est 98,000
units), driven by ~17% growth in domestic volumes and ~53% growth in exports. We
estimate ~14.4% growth in FY15, implying ~17% residual growth or ~121,336
residual run-rate.
 Domestic volumes grew 17% YoY to ~100,024 units (v/s est 90k). We estimate
~14.4% growth in FY15 in domestic volumes implying 16.7% residual growth or
~112k/month of run-rate.
 Compact segment (Alto, Wagon-R, Swift, Celerio, Ritz etc) grew by ~16% YoY to
~63,074 units (v/s est 55,770 units).
21
 Sedan (A3) segment saw a healthy growth of 24% YoY to 19,232 units (v/s est
20,132 units), driven by Ciaz which saw volumes of 5,232 units. Dzire volumes have
de-grown YoY, impacted by launch of new Swift.
 UV segment (Ertiga) de-grew by 6% YoY to 5,515 units (v/s est 5,678 units), on high
base of last year.
 The management has guided for ~10% growth for FY15, implying residual volume
growth of ~4.5% or ~108.7k units. We believe volume momentum at ground level
will pick-up further with several new launches of MSIL, including Ciaz, refreshed
Swift, Alto K-10 (with AMT) and refreshed Dzire (in 4QFY15).
 We estimate EPS of ~INR129/INR184/INR240 for FY15/16/FY17. The stock trades
at 18.4x/14.1x FY16E/17E consolidated EPS. Maintain Buy.

Above estimate, with 2% YoY growth

M&HCV recovery continues, while cars also witnesses growth

27
 Tata Motors Nov-14 sales volumes grew 2% YoY to 41,720 units (v/s est 35,993
units). We estimate overall volume de-growth of ~12% in FY15, implying residual
growth of 5% or run-rate of ~44k.
 HCV sales grew 40% YoY 10,752 units (est 9,234 units). Our industry interaction
indicates that freight rates have started inching upwards driven by gradual increase in
fleet operator’s utilization. Over the next few months, we expect recovery in MHCV
volumes to gather pace on expectation of pick-up in economic activity and pent up
demand due to sharply lower volumes of last two years. We estimate ~12% HCV
growth in FY15, implying 20% residual growth or run-rate of ~12,808 units.
 LCV sales continue to decline, with 17% YoY to 18,654 (est 15.7k units). Our
industry interaction indicates that credit availability has been difficult due to rise in
defaults. We estimate decline of 24.4% in LCVs in FY15, implying 6% residual de-
growth or run- rate of ~19k.
 Car sales witnessed growth for first time in many month, with growth of 27.5% YoY
to 10,486 units (est 9,044 units). Recently launched Zest (compact sedan) has
received encouraging response after launch but the pace seems to slow down. We
estimate decline of 7% in passenger cars in FY15, implying 7.5% residual growth or
~9,490 units.
 UV sales were at 1,828 units (est 2,020 units), a de-growth of 28% YoY. We estimate
4.9% UV de-growth in FY15, implying 18% residual growth or run-rate of 3,107
units.
 The stock trades at 6.2x/5.2x FY16E/17E consol. EPS respectively. Maintain Buy.

Nov-14 below estimate, with 21% YoY de-growth


Tractors ~34% YoY, UV declines ~12.5% YoY

 Nov-14 volumes de-grew by 21% YoY to ~49,625 units (v/s est 62,314 units),
impacted by ~34% YoY de-growth in tractors and ~12.5% decline in UVs (incl pick-
ups). We estimate flat growth in FY15, implying ~15% residual growth or ~71,567
units.
 Tractor volumes declined by 34% YoY to 15,333 units (v/s est 23,350 units), with
FY15YTD de-growth of 6%. We are assuming flat volumes for FY15, implying a
residual growth of 19% or 21,506 units.
 UV (incl pick-ups) de-grew by 12.5% YoY to 28,585 units (v/s est 31,856 units), with
passenger UVs declining by ~17% and pick-ups by 3%. We estimate just 1% growth
in FY15 for UVs, implying residual growth rate of 15% or 43,226 units for the year.
 Speaking on the monthly performance, Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive
Division & International Operations (AFS), Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. said, "The
auto industry continues to face its sluggish demand on the back of factors such as low
consumer sentiments and high interest rates. The reducing international crude prices
and the subsequent lowering of fuel prices should help in revival of demand in the
coming months.”
 Commenting on the monthly performance, Rajesh Jejurikar, Chief Executive, FES &
2Ws, M&M said, "The tractor industry has been difficult due to delayed rains and
sowing. A delayed paddy crop, low yield and low prices for sugarcane, cotton and
paddy have led to a low demand and low cash in hand. There is also a base effect to
some extent as Diwali this year was in October 2014 vis-à-vis in November last year.”
 We see significant downside risk to our EPS estimates, impacted by severe pressure
on both UVs and tractors. While tractor is undergoing cyclical pressure, UV business
is witnessing structural challenges. Based on our current estimates, the stock trades at
13.8x/11.3x FY16E/17E consolidated EPS. Maintain Neutral.
