No surprises in 2QFY17 results

• 2QFY17, Performance below expectations: The performance of 2QFY17 were a mixture of expected lines as well as disappointments. Overall, the results were disappointing. While sales were down 3.2% YoY and 4% QoQ, EBITDA was down 0.6% YoY and 10.7% QoQ, Interest was up 3.9% YoY and down 1.5% QoQ, Tax outgo was down 2.4% YoY and 11.8% QoQ, PAT dropped 3.1% YoY and 3.0% QoQ. While we move towards the end of CY2016, we feel that the following three factors will drive the market, (i) Threat of a US rate hike more real now than ever before leading to an outflow from Emerging Markets, (ii) the mid caps and the small caps seeing a pressure from selling and hence contraction in their valuations, and (iii) the overall market valuations moving towards the bottom of the range. Hence it is going to be a challenging period ahead.

• Kharif production up on strong monsoon, Rabi also expected to be good: The good monsoon in the current year is expected to result in bumper kharif production. The food grain production is expected at 135.03mt against 124.01mt in the corresponding period last year up 9% while the Pulses which has seen a sharp increase in prices is estimated to have a production of 8.7mt against 5.54mt up 57% YoY. While it is too early to predict anything on Rabi production, the after effects of a good monsoon is expected to be felt through in the Rabi production too with a better output than last year.

• Banking sector, HDFC bank, Indusind, Kotak lead the way: The banking results were a mixed bag. While the private sector banks like HDFC bank, Indusind , Kotak and Yes bank were in line, both Axis and ICICI bank disappointed while among the PSU banks, BOB and SBI reported better results while higher provisions resulted in lower net profits. The key takeaways included the reducing pace of NPA additions which is a welcome sign. Clearly the worst seems to be over.

• 10 Year Gsec yields continue to head south: The 10 year GSecs yields touching a low of 6.41% on the November 16, 2016 having lost 43bps since the 4th of Nov 2016. With the strong inflow into the banks in terms of deposits following the demonetization of the Rs500/- and Rs1000/- currencies.

• Consumption as a theme still on for the next three to five years: We believe the effect of the demonetization is going to be more

temporary and the growth should get into the normal growth rate by 1QFY18 the latest. Our view of consumption theme still stands

though the de monetization can have an impact on the performance of the FMCG companies in the short term. In the short term the

lack availability of currency due to logistical issues may impact the business, we expect normalcy to return by 4QFY17. We have added

stocks like Maruti Suzuki post the 20% correction in prices as the fundamentals remain intact, Indraprastha gas and Jubilant Life

sciences, Tech Mahindra, Thyrocare and Rallis India are added to our top picks while we have removed ACC and Heidelberg Cement.

Hindustan Unilever and Britannia Industries remain as the best bets of the consumption theme. We believe that the recent correction in

the market should be taken as an opportunity to add to the fundamentally strong stocks and hence the additions.

Demonetisation, will result in poor 3QFY17

• Demonetisation of Rs500 and Rs1000 notes and black money: On November 8, 2016, the Indian government announced the demonetisation of the Rs500 and the Rs1000 Rupee Indian currency notes in circulation then. Roughly 86.3% of in circulation is in Rs500 and Rs1000 denomination. India has always had a parallel economy working side by side to the official one though we haven't had any official data on it. At the last count, World bank had estimated the size of India's black money at 20% in 1999, which to have increased to 23.7% in 2007. The current Indian GDP is estimated at US2 trillion and if we go buy the world bank estimate, then we expect the

parallel economy to be around US$460bn is size. With the total Tax to GDP ratio in India estimated at around 16%, the tax loss works out to roughly US$73bn. Extrapolating this further, roughly 20-25% of the money in circulation is unlikely to be tendered for exchange .

• Implications of the move: While, the move is hailed as one of the strong measures after the series of earlier measures to drill out black money, the implications on the economy in the short term is more negative than what it can do to the economy in the long term. We expect to see the month of November to see a dip in GDP, while it could see an improvement in December 2016 it will be a far away from what was anticipated earlier. This effectively means that the 3QFY17 is a washout as far as the GDP is concerned and we may see a

recovery only in 4QFY17. This also could result in earnings downgrades for various companies going forward.

• Availability of currency, the key issue: With the existing Rs500 and Rs1000 currency withdrawn and the new Rs2000 and Rs500 currencies not being freely available in the banks and ATMs across the country, the businesses that has been transacting all along in cash is likely to see a tough period ahead of them. In India, many services still are transacted in cash especially in the markets and rural areas and this has been severely dented. The queues in front of ATMs have been fairly long, but most importantly most ATMs had run out of cash and refilling has been fairly slow impacting the availability of cash at ATMs. The banks have been exchanging the old currency for

new as well as giving an opportunity for the customers to withdraw the money from their accounts. But with the non availability of cash at ATMs, this has been a fairly elongated process and one could see serpentine queues outside the bank branches for withdrawal and exchange of cash. This is definitely out to impact consumption in the near term.

• Logistics, the issue to grapple with: While the Metros, Tier I cities etc has already started to see a good amount of online transactions ,

it is the rural and semi urban areas which will bore the brunt of the impact of non availability of cash. While currency chests are more in number at the Metros and Tier I cities, it is likely that these places the refilling of ATMs may happen at a faster pace than in the rural

areas. Hence the impact of this measure will be greater in rural areas and we expect the consumption in rural areas to be impacted more in the near term. In our own analysis when we had done the channel checks, even the Metros have seen a big impact in the last ten days and the rural even bigger. In case of some of the consumer durable companies, the sales have been down by more than 50%.

Global Growth – US election results, a complete surprise

• Trump’s election as the US president leaves the markets on a yoyo: US Presidential election results came as a surprise of the market with Mr Trump not only getting elected but the Republicans winning both houses of the Congress. The growth estimates remain unchanged at 1.6% for CY2016 while the estimates for CY17 still continue to remain at 2.3%. The non farm payroll employment in October 2016 saw an increase of 161,000 as against an increase of 156,000 in September 2016 which still gives the economy a strong push. The way the bond market has behaved in the last ten days indicates that the market has already priced in a stronger economic

growth, higher inflation and an early tightening resulting a FED rate hike soon. In our view, the resultant higher public spending is likely to be offset by quicker monetary tightening.

• Crude oil range bound in the last one month. Saudi- Russian effort yet to see any result in production freeze: Brent has ranged from US$44-53 in the last one month with a negative bias. With Trump repeatedly voicing his concerns on the environmental bottlenecks, it is to wait and seen how the US policies on oil exploration will change in the near term.

• High Volatility seen in the last one month: Both the global and the Indian volatility indices have been having a torrid time reflecting the issues that had affected the market. A surprise Trump victory against most predictions saw the CBOE VIX trading between 12.77-22.44 before steadying at 13.25 during the month. The Indian VIX traded between 13.78-20.74 before steadying at 17.80 more coming from the demonization effects rather the Trump effect.

• Fed tightening expected sooner: A Fed tightening is not good for Emerging Markets as they will see an outflow as seen now. The outflows from EMs continues and we expect that the US bond yields of 2.33% reflect the expectation of hike in the Fed rates. What is

more interesting will be how the Republicans clean sweep of both houses of Congress will make the passing of legislations easier.

• Emerging markets see outflows: The EMs will see outflows on a Fed rate hike. Mr Trump’s rhetoric on protectionism is a worry. The increased question mark on the new US economic policies and protectionism will keep the Emerging Market volatile and the growth in EMs will be slow. In the UK, a narrowing trade deficit as well as the lowest level of un employment in 11 years will be challenged in the near term with the handling of Brexit.

CPI down to 4.2% in Oct 2016

• The retail CPI has inched lower to 4.2% in Oct 2016. The CPI has been inching downwards for the last four months post the good monsoon and price corrections in food articles, especially pulses and vegetables.

• 10yr G-Sec Yield is trading at 6.44%, lowest in the last several years. With the demonetization move, the banks have seen a flush of deposit increase and we expect some of these deposits to be sticky in nature. With the credit off take still remaining slow, we expect the banks to drop the deposit rates further resulting in lower cost of funds for the banks as well as the corporates.

• With the IIP and credit growth remaining subdued and the demonetisation impact being felt through in a bigger manner, the probability of GDP growth falling below 7% for FY17 is more.

Not a good month for equity markets

Metals lead the way

• MoM: With an all-round loss in the last one month, all sectors had a poor month. Metals and Bankex were relatively better.

Midcap indices take the brunt of the fall

• MoM: The mid caps and small caps after out performing the large caps for better part of the year have fallen flat in the last one month, taking the brunt of fall.

• YoY: From YTD as well as CYTD, the mid caps have out performed the large caps by a huge margin on a relative basis. We believe that the increased out performance had made the valuations stretch and with the market tending to have a negative bias, the mid and smaller caps have suffered.

Global Agri commodities - Palm oil gains

• Palm Oil prices to remain firm through 2016 as global output is expected to shrink due to prolong El-Nino leading to fall in production.

• Rice corrected due to subdued demand coupled with higher expected production and depreciating currencies in the importing countries to keeping the prices down.

• Wheat also came under pressure due bumper crops in Russia, Australia and Ukraine expected to keep the supply glut resulting on keeping prices under pressure.

• Sugar prices fall 12.1% MoM as Brazilian harvest is progressing as per expectation and falling value of Brazilian Real provides more incentives to farmers to export.

Global growth still an issue

Sources : Bloomberg

• The real GDP growth in USA is expected to be at 1.6% in CY2016, The growth is to be led by strong private consumption, steady job addition, higher real wages and higher disposable income resulting in increased consumption. The job additions in October16 were 161,000 up from 156,000 in September 2016.

• The oil prices have moved in a range of US$44-53 in the last one month. There has been a sharp correction in crude prices from the highs. The increased efforts of Saudi Arabia and Russia to come to a freeze on oil production is yet to see the results in curbing production.

• The Chinese growth is estimated to be lower in CY17 at 6.2% from the estimated growth of 6.7% in CY2016. Trump’s victory in the US Presidential elections have brought some tension in the trade side.

• The industrial commodity markets have seen some upward momentum due to shut down in some of the capacities. The metals sector has seen sharp increase in prices, but more than the increase in demand it has been the shut down in some of the capacities which has resulted in sharp increase in prices.

• The easy monetary policies bring used by the central banks across the world including developed world boost demand through cheaper credit is holding the global growth. The bond yields are at near zero or at record lows across markets, though the US bond yields have seen a sharp rise in the last ten days on expectation of a quicker Fed rate hike.

• It is expected that the protectionist rhetoric that Trump has been advocating is a risk, but at what pace it will happen is something the market has to watch out for. The market has already priced in stronger economic growth and a higher inflation the way the bond yields have performed touching 2.33%

Indian Market – Downward revision in earnings on the cards

• NIFTY earnings for FY17 revised downwards to Rs436.7 : With all but three of the Nifty companies results for 2QFY17 published, an analysis of the

results point out to a mixed bag so far. While the IT sector was muted in terms of performance more on expected lines, the FMCG sector

disappointed with all hopes pinned now in 2HFY17. The new generation private sector banks continued to show strong performance with the

exception of Axis and ICICI bank, while the PSU banks have all been going through a phase of consolidation where they continue to grapple with

running down of low yielding assets and reducing the RWAs. SBI continues to report reasonably good set of numbers, though the worse in terms of

slippages seems to be behind the banks for the time being. After the severe loss in FY16, we were expecting the PSU banking space to report better

performance in FY17 with a 35% growth in earnings. However, with the demonetisation impact, it is anticipated that there could be an increased

stress levels in the financial services system including the NBFC as the strain on short term cash flows could lead to an increased slippage scenario

across. While we think that this could be temporary, this may lead to an earnings revision downwards for the overall market and the BFSI in

particular. This could result in the market PER trending downwards from the 12 month rolling PER of 18.3x downwards to 16x forward earnings, at a

discount to the market earnings.

• 3QFY17 earnings looks bleak: For 3QFY17, we expect to see poor performance from the corporate owing to the disruptions due to the

demonetisation impact. Though we are yet to have the revised 3QFY17 earnings estimates, we expect the earnings estimates to get revised by

anything from 5-8% for FY17 given that we are going to see a poor 3QFTY17. The worst hit are going to be financials, consumer discretionary and

autos. This also is likely to result in the GDP growth also to be downgraded to less than 7% in FY17. We expect the agriculture sector to have a good

harvest resulting in increased disposable income in the rural areas. However, this may be more back ended as in our channel checks in the rural

areas we find that they are feeling the brunt of demonetisation efforts and hence seeing a increased contraction in demand. Because of a bumper

agricultural production, we also believe that the rural areas could be the first one to see the recovery when the availability of cash is normalised.

• Indian valuations will contract: While the intent of demonetisation is not questioned, the impact that it is going to have in the short term is going to

be more painful. We expect a downward earnings revision followed by a contraction in the market PERs. The new trading range for the Nifty could

be in the range of 16X one year forward earnings till clarity sets in and we expect that to happen only by around 4QFY17. The Indian stocks are

trading at 16% discount to the MSCI Asia ex Japan valuations, a larger discount to the 10 year average of 32%. With the expected outflow from EMs,

we have been seeing increased selling by FIIs in the domestic market. This is expected to keep the pressure on the valuations as we expect the

market to trade lower. Though we expect to see relative overweight positions maintained, we are revising the market trading range to 7600-8300

levels for the near term.

• Nifty trading range at 7600-8300 levels: With the continued outflow of from emerging markets, the Indian equity markets have been seeing

increased pressure. We do not expect this to change in a hurry and we expect to see an increased pressure on the midcaps and small caps. We also

expect the market to trade at a discount to the 10 year average PER given the negatives that is built in. We are revising our trading range for the

Nifty to 7600-8300 levels for the near term reflecting the fall in earnings and growth.

HDFC Bank (HDFCB IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs1,199 | TP: Rs1,555 | Mcap: Rs3,030.0bn / US$45,513.5m

Operating profit trajectory remains robust: Operating performance remained robust as in Q2FY17, HDFCB continued to deliver strong NII of ~20% YoY, while better treasury (+70% YoY increase) and lower opex led to 19.5% YoY growth in PPOP. Despite lowering interest rates, margins remains best in class at 4.2% with guidance range of 4.1-4.4% in FY17. Bank is likely to benefit from this de-monetisation move and further improve cost of funds and able extrapolate to margins.

Continues to gain market share in many segments: Retail loans continued to be robust from all segments especially in the unsecured. Auto loans continued to grow strong, while business banking loan book continues to see some weakness. Loan growth stood at 18% YoY (5.1% QoQ) comparatively slower as wholesale piece saw some slowdown as some short term loans from Q4FY16 moved out, while we will likely not see major loan growth slowdown in FY17 and continues to gain market share from increased presence.

Asset quality better off despite tough environment: Asset quality remained stable with some stress still existing in the SME/Business banking. Overall GNPL/NNPL remained pristine at 1.02%/0.30% with PCR of 70%, while restructured portfolio remained at 0.1%. Stable asset quality and better quality of earnings makes HDFCB our preferred pick. We maintain “BUY” with PT of Rs1,350 based on 3.6x Mar-2018E ABV.

Infosys (INFO IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs911 | TP: Rs1,300 | Mcap: Rs2,084.7bn / US$30,626.0m

Infosys’ Q2FY17 revenues grew 3.5%/3.9% QoQ in USD/CC against expectations of 2.3%/2.9%. Revenues grew 8.2%/8.9% YoY in USD/CC terms. Q2FY17 revenue growth marks recovery in revenue growth after a muted Q1. Company has, however, lowered FY17 revenue guidance and at mid‐point guidance implies flat revenues over the next two quarters. Weak outlook is attributed to a) furloughs in Q3, b) impact of RBS ramp‐down and client specific headwinds, c) muted outlook for consulting and d) revenue uncertainty in India business. We believe that FY17 is a cyclical low year for the industry and Infosys is navigating the challenges quite well. Company is on track to report sector leading revenue growth for second consecutive year. Infosys has opportunity to exceed the lowered expectations post the guidance reset.

Automation and Innovation are key areas of focus: Infosys is driving innovation and automation across entire delivery organization. Zero distance that brings innovation to every project now covers more than 95% of all the projects. Automation efforts resulted in saving of 2387 FTE equivalents in Q2FY17. Infosys Edge verve platform has been gaining traction and has won eight new deals with 43 go lives. Infosys AI platform MANA is bringing automation and innovation across all the aspects of service offering. Company outlined applying the knowledge‐based AI capabilities of Mana to complex scenarios that are more focused on increasing productivity.

We continue to like Infosys, which has demonstrated higher YoY USD revenue and EBIT growth, within the peer‐group. Infosys is likely to bridge the ~10% P/E discount against TCS as it continues to outperform on YoY USD revenue and EBIT growth. We have a BUY rating with a TP of Rs1,300 based on 18x Sep‐18 EPS.

State Bank of India (SBIN IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs258 | TP: Rs315 | Mcap: Rs2,000.9bn / US$29,349.1m

Operating performance on track: SBIN operating performance continued to be on track as bank adjust some of its loan growth to focus on profitable segments. Focus continues to be on highly rated corporate & towards refinancing of operational projects. PPOP has been led by strong other income on back of robust treasury gains and as control on opex growth remained good. Bank continued to guide 12-13% loan growth. SBI continues to be leading industry growth despite we continue to see muted growth or even contraction. We also expect SBIN to deliver avg. 11% NII growth over FY16-18E, while margins likely to remain at current levels.

Some asset quality issues in mid-corporate but to glide lower: Bank has undertaken most of its big stressed names in last few quarters which has trended down slippages rate. In Q2FY17, some mid-corporate slippages continued but we expect it to glide lower in next few quarters arresting asset quality deterioration. Overall GNPAs/NNPAs stood at 6.9%/4.1% respectively with majority slippages from watchlist & restructured book, but we note that the proportion of net stressed assets for SBIN is lowest amongst large PSU banks at ~3.3% of FY17E loans.

Associates asset quality clean-up more or less done: Bank expects to merge its banking subsidiaries by Q3FY17 or FY17 end, as bank more or less completed aligning asset quality with itself, while it does not expect to have integration and opex issues like pension cost. We expect subs will add value to overall bank reducing cost, improve capital efficiency and improve business. SBI remains as one of our Top Picks in the sector.

Hindustan Unilever (HUVR IN) Rating: Acc| CMP: Rs800 | TP: Rs1,200 | Mcap: Rs1,730.4bn / US$25,420.8m

We remain positive on HUVR despite 1% volume decline in 2Q and expected impact of demonetization in 3Q. Although 3Q will show increased pressure in the high margin quarter, We believe that small ticket necessities will be the first ones to report a bounce back in demand. We believe that confluence of demonetization and GST will be positive for growth momentum, once the recovery starts. HUVR seems well‐placed to capitalise on demand recovery given refreshed portfolio, distribution expansion and market development in premium categories. We believe HUVR’s success in premiumisation in Detergents, Skin Creams and hair Care are a testimony of its long term strategy. HUVR is setting up Rs10bn facility in personal care in Assam; the benefits of which are not factored in our estimates. We estimate 14.5% PAT CAGR over FY16‐19. Retain “Accumulate”.

2QFY17 Concall Takeaways: 1) HUVR expects demand to recover in coming quarters led by monsoons and improved sentiments 2) price realisations likely to increase as HUL rebalances prices post increase in input costs 3) HUVR has reduced promotions in soaps by 3% due to sharp spike in PFAD which has impacted volumes and Personal care sales 4) laundry is witnessing premiumisation led by Rs10 pack of Surf excel easy wash 5) Indulekha has been extended to 4 more states 6) popular segments in foods have been impacted in Salt, atta etc 7) HUVR has entered the baby care segment under the brand Dove Baby 8) Soaps and Coffee have price deflation in Q1, promotions in Personal wash coming down 9) Home care portfolio has seen major gains from Premiumisation and gains are likely to be sustained in the future.

Our TP is based on a 18-24 months view.

Maruti Suzuki (MSIL IN) Rating: Acc| CMP: Rs4,788 | TP: Rs6,356 | Mcap: Rs1,446.5bn / US$21,249.7m

With sustained performance from existing models, good acceptance of new models driving market share gains MSIL’s performance would remain healthy. Even after being a market leader, Maruti Suzuki has been able to gain market share. Benefits of operating leverage and favourable currency movement are additional positives.

Market share gains driven by newer model: MSIL is launching five new vehicles over FY16-17, (1) the S-Cross, (2) a light commercial vehicle powered by 800cc diesel engine, (3) Ignis (to be launched in 2HFY17), (4) the premium hatchback Baleno (launched in Oct ’15) and (5) Vitara Brezza. The trend has been that the newer models have been able to garner a good response (eg Celerio, Ertiga, Amaze, EcoSport, Kwid etc). We expect these newer models to drive market share gain for MSIL over FY16-18E.

Exports to provide an additional edge: Even as global majors are committing resources to India to gain a share of the domestic market and have a low-cost export base, Maruti has already achieved the same, and would be in a position to service export requirements both under its own brand and that of Suzuki’s.

Operating leverage benefits: Although concerns have arisen over the exchange rate, better operating leverage, steps to control costs would help sustain margins over FY16-18E, controlled lowering of discounts, a better product mix and sales promotion expenses would also help.

Our TP is Rs6,356 We value MSIL at 22.5x FY18E EPS to arrive at a target price of Rs6356/share. We rate MSIL an Accumulate.

Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs292 | TP: Rs385 | Mcap: Rs1,417.2bn / US$20,819.7m

Well-diversified business: IOCL’s earnings are likely to grow at 24% CAGR over FY16-18E led by 1) firm petrochem earnings 2) healthy marketing margins 3) improved refining profitability post stabilization of highly complex Paradip refinery and 4) zero subsidy losses. Even as refining margins are likely to soften on weakening gasoline spreads, higher share of complex Paradip refinery will support margins. Also, benign crude price is likely to limit inventory losses.

Refining margins aided by lower fuel & oil loss to stay healthy: GRMs are likely to remain healthy led by healthy gasoline and gasoil spreads along with capacity addition trailing demand. Also higher contribution from high complexiParadip refinery will aid refining earnings.

Petrochemicals recovery gaining traction: Profitability of IOCL’s petrochemicals segment has improved sharply due to falling naphtha prices, in line with crude prices. Falling feedstock prices and firm product prices has meant that integrated Asian crackers’ profitability has improved sharply; IOCL’s H1FY17 petchem EBITDA were at Rs38.6bn (Rs60.7bn in FY16).

Marketing profits to remain firm; benign crude price outlook to cut inventory losses: IOCL, with India’s largest retail outlet network of ~25,000 units, will benefit from expanding marketing margins. We have factored in diesel and petrol margins of Rs2.4/litre and Rs2.6/litre, respectively, lower than recent margin trends. Also, benign crude price outlook will mean no inventory losses.

Valuation & Recommendation: IOCL with a well-diversified business portfolio is attractively valued at current prices. We have a “BUY” with a price target of Rs385, valued at PER of 11x FY18E. At our price target, it implies core PBV of 1.9xFY18E, with ROE of 17%.

Strong earnings expected post integration: KMB continued to deliver on NII growth, stronger other income and strong cost control (C/I ratio dropped to 49.1% in Q2FY17), while loan growth gas remained soft but we believe KMB can pick up loan growth much faster because of alignment of loan book to seasonally stronger segments in H2.

Larsen & Toubro* (LT IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs1,348 | TP: Rs 1,850 | Mcap: Rs1,255.9bn / US$18,450.0m

Strong guidance: L&T has guided for sales growth of 12-15%, order inflow

growth of 15% and margin improvement of 50bps in FY17. It also expects

working capital to improve by 100-200bps in FY17 (23.5% of sales in

Q1FY17).

Strong order book gives visibility: Order book at the end of Q1FY17 stood

at Rs2.5trn, up 9% YoY (2.5xTTM sales). Current prospect pipeline is

Rs5trn. Out of prospect pipeline, Rs2.5trn is from infrastructure, ~Rs 1tn

from hydrocarbon, ~1tn from power and ~ Rs 500bn from defense and

other segments. The company expects to bag defense orders worth Rs

150bn in FY17 against ~ Rs 50-60bn in FY16. L&T highlighted that while low

oil prices have impacted capex in large order in Hydrocarbon space in

Middle East, smaller ticket size orders (less than US$1bn) in hydrocarbon

are still tendered. Order on social infrastructure (Road, Power, low cost

housing) in the Middle East are likely to continue due to fear of unrest.

Focusing on exiting non-core business: L&T will continue to focus on

raising capital by selling non-core business to make balance sheet light and

help improve RoE for the business. L&T IDPL will also have to generate its

own capital to fund its equity requirement by churning assets as parent is

unlikely to support subsidiary.

Outlook and Valuation: The stock is at a PER of 15.3x FY18E earnings. L&T

continues to be the best play in the Indian infrastructure space, given its

strong business model, diverse skill sets, strong execution capabilities and

relatively healthy/large balance sheet.

We continue to believe L&T as a strong long term play in the

infrastructure space. Our TP is for 18 months.

Aurobindo Pharma (ARBP IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs712 | TP: Rs943 | Mcap: Rs416.5bn / US$6,119.4m

Natrol, ARV to maintain growth in FY17: With sales of US$27m, Aurobindo’s acquired OTC brand Natrol is expected to have annual sales of US$120m in FY17E vs US$110m in FY16. Natrol’s operating margin was higher than average margin of the company and expected to maintain the same in FY17E-18E. ARV tender business is expected to maintain 11% growth in FY17E-18E and margin profile to improve with better product mix of ARV drugs including in-license drug Dolutegravir in global and PEPFAR tender business.

US pipeline remain robust: With revenues from injectables at US$38.3m in Q2FY17, management expects more than 40% growth in revenues from US Injectables along with strong flow of approvals and launches resulting in strong earnings growth in H2FY17E. Currently, Aurobindo is ranked 7th in volume in US injectables and we expect US$170m injectable sales in FY17E and US$280m in FY18E on the back of key launches such as Pantoprazole, Vancomycin and Esomeprazole IV. Isosulfane Blue and Eptifibatide will also boost US injectable sales in H2FY17E post expansion of capacity in Unit-IV.

Valuation: The stock currently trades at 16.8x and 14.1x FY17E and FY18E. We expect growth in the valuation will be triggered with launches and approvals of key products and higher contribution from injectable in FY17E-18E. At the TP of Rs943, the stock trades at a PER of 18.5x of FY18E earnings. We maintain “BUY”.

Tech Mahindra (TECHM IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs447 | TP: Rs525 | Mcap: Rs390.6bn / US$5,737.6m

Tech Mahindra’s (TECHM’s) Q2FY17 revenues and margins were ahead of estimates. Revenues grew 5% QoQ in CC terms and organic growth was 2.5%. Revenue growth was aided by recovery in Telecom vertical which grew 2.4%QoQ after a weak performance in the past few quarters. EBIT margins were largely inline with estimates. Company took a one‐time, restructuring charge of US$13m in the quarter which impacted margins by ~120bps. Management has indicated improved outlook in Telecom business and Enterprise business remains steady. TECHM signed three large deals in the quarter. We expect gradual recovery in the business, going forward. Stock is inexpensive at 11.5x FY18 EPS and improvement in performance should drive stock returns. Retain “BUY” with a TP of Rs525.

Core telecom growth recovers: Telecom business recovered in the quarter and grew 2.4% QoQ. While the core telecom business will be stable, LCC will recover in the next few quarters. Manufacturing, Retail and BFS led growth amongst verticals by growing at 10.3/8.8 and 5.8% QoQ respectively. Amongst geographies, growth was led by Europe which grew by 9.1% QoQ followed by North America which grew by 2.5% QoQ. Growth in Manufacturing, BFS and Europe was aided by acquisitions. Company also added seven new clients, increasing the total clients to 825 in Q2FY17.

Britannia Industries (BRIT IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs2,895 | TP: Rs3,850 | Mcap: Rs347.4bn / US$5,103.0m

BRIT would be amongst first companies to recover from the demonetization impact despite significant increase in demand and cost pressures in 3QFY17. BRIT has reported 280bps decline in gross margins led by sharp spike in the prices of key inputs (Sugar, Palmoil, Wheat and SMP) by 30-50% YoY. We believe that margin pressure will peak out in 3Q given 1) full impact of 6% price increase till now and another 1-1.5% in 3Q 2) benefit from lower import duty in wheat and Palmoil and stock restrictions in sugar 3) accelerated cost efficiency programs. We expect volume growth to remain strong given benefits from market share gain in Hindi heartland and distribution reach. BRIT plans to enter 1 new category every year and bridge the portfolio gap in existing categories which will support higher growth. We are cutting FY17 EPS by 2% but increasing FY18 EPS by 4% to factor in higher realisations and sustained volume growth.

Concall Takeaways: 1) Biscuit market growth has increased to mid single digit as various fiscal measures have started showing impact 2) 2QFY17 realisation is up 4% while exit price increase is 6% in Q2, another 1-1.5% price increase looks likely, given 12% inflation in commodity basket (Sugar 46%, Cashew 5%, Flour 15% and RPO 19%) 3) Input cost pressure has peaked out as import duty has been reduced by 15% in wheat and 5% in palmoil, sugar has seen stocking limits at wholesale level 4) weak states have grown sales at accelerating pace from the past 2 quarters 5) BRIT has increased its retail reach by 80k in 2Q while the gap with Parle has come down by 0.45mn in past 3 years 5) BRIT is targeting cost efficiencies of Rs1.75b in FY17 as against earlier target of Rs1.25b 6) BRIT has done a capex of Rs1.5b in 1H and the run rate of Rs3b will be sustained in coming 2 years 7) BRIT is looking entering a new product category every year as most of the product gaps in existing categories have corrected 8) Middle East business has suffered due to unrest in Yemen, Libya and Syria and currency fluctuations in entire region 9) Britannia Dairy had reported strong sales growth but profits are under pressure due to higher milk prices and full tax rate (MAT earlier), plans on dairy supply chain integration are yet to be finalised

Our TP is based on a 18 month price roll over.

Glenmark Pharmaceuticals (GNP IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs883 | TP: Rs1,186 | Mcap: Rs249.3bn / US$3,661.9m

India, US drive sales: Glenmark reported 15% YoY growth in core sales to Rs21.9bn with major boost coming from US, and India formulations and API in Q2FY17. Lower revenues of US$20m (-25%) in LatAM were caused by absence of exports to Venezuela and tepid performance in Brazil, 40 Cash outflow on tax remain high at 32% due to chronic loss in emerging market subsidiaries.

US markets show new momentum: On the back of 11 approvals and 8 launches, Glenmark’s constant currency growth in US is 25% YoY. Price rise in gMupirocin (being sole generic) and launch of key approvals such as Lidocaine and Potassium Chloride were major contributors of US$115m sales in US. With four new approvals in derma, where Taro dominates with large market share and price rise, we expect Glenmark to gain benefits of limited competition in FY17E-18E. Management plans to launch gZetia on 12th Dec for 134-days of exclusivity.

High-cost debt to be replaced with FCCB, low-priced Senior notes: Glenmark received US$400m cash flow from issues of FCCB and forex bond, of which it replaced high costs debt of US$220m in Q2FY17 and in the process to replace another US$180m in Q3FY17E. The prepayment however draws penalty of 2-3% of outstanding loan. Also, 2% FCCB to be provisioned at 6% as per IND-AS. This has resulted in one-off rise in interest cost by 48% in Q2FY17

Valuation - Key drivers to maintain momentum, Maintain ‘BUY’, TP Rs 1,186: With guidance of strong traction in US generics in H2FY17E, we believe new products will boost current growth drivers such as Indian formulations, Asia and Africa markets. With Rs110m/month sales of Teneligliptin, the launch of anti-diabetic brand to compensate more than the loss of sales in Sitagliptin in FY17E. We believe that launch of gAdvair in Europe is likely to drive growth in Europe in FY17E-18E. The stock currently trades at 18.0x and 13.7x FY17E and FY18E. We maintain ‘BUY’ and retain TP at Rs1,186

Bharat Forge (BHFC IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs858 | TP: Rs957 | Mcap: Rs199.8bn / US$2,934.9m

To benefit in the long-term from diversification forays: Strong local

operations: Bharat forge’s India CV business is on a very strong footing,

with the sector’s good performance expected to continue in the medium-

term, irrespective of near-term dips. The company’s strategy for

Aerospace, Defence and Auto transmission parts provides potential for

growth over the medium to long-term. In the near-term, benefits for India

CV recovery and increase in sales of the PV segment would be offset by

lower demand in the industrial segment and sluggish North American truck

demand.

Positive commentary: On the positive side, the management commentary

seems to indicate that the North American Class 8 truck market seems to

have bottomed out, while demand from the shale side is also at its lowest.

Destocking has impacted sales in North America in addition to demand

slowdown. Sales in Q1 indicate a level lower than what is required for

current industry demand levels. Channel inventory in North America is

now down to a normal level, and restocking when it takes place will result

in higher growth. Thus, we believe that H1FY17 is likely to be subdued for

BHFC with a better performance outlook from H2FY17 onwards.

Diversification and maximising capacity utilisation: BHFC’s focus ahead

would be on accelerating product development and mining existing

customers for additional business with new products and offerings. BHFC is

looking to utilise its available capacities for the Oil & Gas segment to

expand business in the aerospace segment. We note that in Q1FY17,

despite lower production and an adverse product mix, the company

maintained its EBITDA margin at 27%. A recovery in growth will help the

company improve its EBITDA margin rapidly ahead.

At the current market price, the stock is trading at 31.0x FY17e EPS and

22.7x FY18e. We maintain “BUY” with a price target of Rs946.

Indraprastha Gas (IGL IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs818 | TP: Rs1,080 | Mcap: Rs114.5bn / US$1,682.8m

CGD’s in a sweet spot: CGDs earnings growth is to ride on 1) healthy

margins supported by affordable gas and 2) robust volume growth. Benign

domestic gas prices along with soft spot LNG prices are to support volume

growth over the medium term.

Volume momentum is back: IGL is expected to report healthy volume

growth over the medium term supported by steady private vehicle and

taxi conversion. Rising judicial activism in the light of increased pollution

will make CNG the preferred fuel of choice. Meanwhile, government focus

to increase PNG penetration will increase domestic PNG volumes going

forward. For H1FY17, while CNG volumes were up 10%YoY, PNG volume

was up 15%Yoy.

Margins to stay healthy: CGD’s margins are likely to remain healthy

supported by availability of affordable domestic gas. Global gas prices are

likely to remain tepid given abundant new supplies from US and Australia,

which in turn will keep domestic prices benign. CGD’s will also benefit

from cheaper spot LNG prices as it will support commercial volume

growth. For H1, IGL’s spreads were at Rs6.2/scm (Rs5.3 in FY16) despite

provision of Rs 167m towards higher rental lease.

Valuation & Recommendation: We value IGL on DCF basis and our 3 year

PT is Rs 1,080.

Jubilant Life Sciences (JUBILANT IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs607 | TP: Rs740 | Mcap: Rs96.7bn / US$1,421.2m

Sales miss on lower LSI; EBITDA, PAT in- line with lower input costs: The

company’s overall financial performance except LSI sales were in line with

our estimates as Jubilant has been benefitting from volume and price rise

in Radiopharma products. There was scheduled shutdown of three weeks

in Spokane plant, which led to marginal miss in CMO revenues in Q2FY17.

Global generics grew by 12% YoY on commissioning of new API capacity

and global launch of new formulations.

Ruby-Fill to be launched in Q3FY17E: Management plans to launch gRuby-

Fill in Q3FY17 in US post its approval in October 2016. While the current

market of the drug is US$70m, Jubilant expects its non-substitutable

gRubi-Fill to expand market size to US$250m by FY21E. With two ANDAs

pending for approval and development pipeline of seven more products,

Jubilant expects to launch one Radiology product every year.

Valuation-Price run-up by 116% reduce upside potential, downgrade to

‘Accumulate’, increase TP to Rs740: With sustainable limited competition

in Radiology products (unlike peers) in US and better visibility of utilisation

of CMO plants, Jubilant’s EBITDA margin (30-34%) in US generics is

currently highest among all Indian peers. Net Debt reduction of Rs7.6bn

decreased D/E ratio to 1.1 in Q2FY17 from 1.6 in FY16 and promised better

cash flow and return ratios in FY17E-18E. With improving financial metrics,

there was partial rerating in valuation as it ran up 116% in Aug-Oct 2016.

In our SOTP valuation, we increased EV/EBITDA to 12x from 10x in Pharma

and to 5x from 3x in LSI and derive new TP at Rs740 (previously Rs484).

The recent run up forces us to downgrade our recommendation to

‘Accumulate’ as upside potential reduced to 22% at current market price.

The stock still offers a good upside.

Strong order pipeline/Execution to recover: : Order book at the end of Q1FY17 stood at Rs68.3bn, down 19% YoY. The order book does not include HAM project recently won by SIPL (~EPC value Rs 31bn), including this, order book stand at healthy Rs99bn. SEL expects to bag orders worth Rs50-70bn in FY17 as against Rs29bn in FY16. In road sector bidding activity continues to be healthy, EPC project worth Rs100bn is expected to be up for bidding over next 2 months. Further DPR for 90 new project (~Rs700-800bn) are in advanced stage and are expected to be bid out in FY17. On mining side SEL has already bid for MDO bid of Dulanga mines by NTPC. SEL will also bid for 2 other large MDO bids (Chhattisgarh and Singrauli) thorough JV route. In Irrigation segment SEL has already bid for Rs4bn worth tenders in Telangana, and further nine tenders worth Rs100bn are up for bidding in Telangana over next few months. SEL expect pick up execution of road EPC projects and contribution for new HAM project to help pick up in execution over the course of the year. SEL expects to achieve sales growth of 15-16% and EBITDA margin of 10.5-11% for FY17

BOT projects; Healthy traffic growth: Sadbhav Infra project Ltd(SIPL) saw toll revenue for operational projects increase to Rs2.1bn up 27% YoY. SIPL saw traffic growth of ~6-7% across projects. SIPL has recently won 5 HAM project. The equity commitment for these five projects is ~Rs4.2bn which it expects to fund through internal accruals. SEL expect to receive zero date for HAM project between October-November 2016. SEL has recently won two lucrative Hybrid annuity contracts in the recently conducted bids: (1) Rampur Kathgodam Package-I (RK I) and (2) Rampur Kathgodam Package-II (RK II). Competition was very limited with only three to four bidders for each contract. The project has limited equity requirement of ~12-15% of project cost and company expects IRR of 16-17% on this project.

Outlook and valuation: The stock is trading at core PER of 12.5x FY18E earnings. We continue to believe SEL will be the key beneficiary of strong outlook in road sector and improving outlook in Mining and Irrigation sector. Healthy balance sheet and strong management gives us additional comfort. We expect company to deliver 26% earning CAGR over FY16-18E. We continue to rate the stock a “BUY” With revised TP of Rs351

Rallis India (RALI IN) Rating: Acc | CMP: Rs183 | TP: Rs236 | Mcap: Rs35.5bn / US$521.7m

Rallis India is currently in a sweet spot considering business bouncing back after a washout FY16. Good spatial distribution of rainfall & encouraging Rabi sowing data will help Rallis to get back on earnings growth track from FY17. Factoring in the cash‐flow of almost Rs1.2bn after taxes and regulatory charges on IKEA deal, Rallis now is a net cash company. Rallis is expected to deliver 21% earnings CAGR over FY16-FY18E, stable margins at ~16% and high RoEs in the range of 18%. With the capex cycle behind, Rallis is expected to generate Rs4bn free cash over FY16-FY18E. The stock is trading at a P/E of 17.4x FY18E earnings and an EV/EBITDA of 10.8xFY18E. Strong parentage, new product launches, diversification across Agriculture value chain and a lean balance sheet makes Rallis a compelling “BUY” for the long term. Option value in terms of any sizeable opportunity from the CRAM business is not factored in our earnings.

Seed business on an exponential growth path, operating levers to kick-in: With virtually insignificant revenues in FY11 from Seeds, Rallis is expected to clogged a turnover of Rs3bn in FY17. Rallis has ample scope for improving its margins from 12% vis-a-vis other seed companies where margin profile is 18-20%. Rallis’ learning curve in the seed business and better product awareness created amongst farmers over the last four seasons leaves significant room for operating leverage to kick in

Amongst few Agri input companies with net cash on books: Rallis after strong H1FY17 and sale proceeds received from IKEA, has ~Rs1.4bn cash on books. The proceeds from the sale deal shall be used to drive growth by expanding facilities at Dahej, inorganic acquisitions offering strategic fits and expanding in neighboring countries like Indonesia through the JV route. We have an Accumulate with TP of Rs236.

SpiceJet (SJET IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs59 | TP: Rs115 | Mcap: Rs35.4bn / US$520.0m

With strong growth in domestic air passengers and aviation companies performing better on both revenues and profitability, we believe Spicejet is in a strong position to provide the best profitability growth in the sector, coupled with cheaper valuations as compared to the industry leader, Interglobe Aviation. We expect revenue CAGR of 12.7% over FY15-18E and an EBITDAR CAGR of 87.6% over the same period.

The Indian aviation sector is in a sustained growth phase on the back of multiple levers like increasing load factor, sustained growth in passenger traffic and fall in jet fuel prices. Lower industry fleet size and the continued propensity of Indian travelers to gravitate towards Low Cost Airline Carriers (as against preferring alternative modes or Full Service Carriers) have led to higher Passenger Load Factor (PLF) for the airline companies. Our positive stance on the sector is further reinforced by YoY lower ATF price which leads to not only higher profitability, but eases up the working capital requirement.

In tune with the above, SJ offers the highest PLF in the industry after a striking return to profitability in FY16 post four years of being in the red. In addition to the aforementioned triggers, with its strategy to increase non-passenger related revenues, SJ is focusing on cargo services and other ancillary services like food and beverage and this foray is expected to result in increasing the share of cargo services revenues significantly from 2.9% of sales in FY15. Similarly, with its fleet size expected to increase on a steady basis from 43 in FY16 to 55 by FY18-end, there is ample scope to take advantage of the growing passenger traffic.

We have ‘BUY’ rating on SJ with a price target of Rs115 (based upon 10x Sep’17E EPS); at CMP it trades at 6.3x FY17e. At our price target, SJ trades at EV/EBITDAR of ~4x FY17E.

Thyrocare Technologies Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs616 | TP: Rs1,067 | Mcap: Rs33.1bn / US$486.1m

Thyrocare operates in a segment which has strong growth potential as

preventive health checkups and health awareness will continue to drive

growth as the current penetration levels is low at 5%. While diagnostic

segment is dominated by the unorganised players with a share of 85%,

there is a consolidation and shift towards the organised sector resulting

in growth in the organised diagnostic segment. The sector is expected to

grow with a) improved healthcare services and awareness, b)

accessibility with rising income (per capita income: 7.6% CAGR in 2014-

19) and c) favourable demographic mix (elderly population to be 169m by

2026 from 98.9m in 2014). Being the smallest among the top-4

diagnostic players with core competency in costs, Thyrocare aspires to

grow at 30% till CY30. With purported increase in lifestyle diseases,

Thyrocare aims at 80% contribution from B-2-C segment and reaching

out to unorganised segment for drawing B-2-B revenues.

We expect 32% CAGR in revenues which includes 29% and 79% CAGR in

pathology and imaging respectively, in FY16-19E. While pathology

business offers growth through bio-chemistry tests to new Aarogyam

franchise (23% CAGR), corporate/insurance companies (1.15x CAGR) and

online/DSA (45% CAGR) clients, its imaging business expands through

partnership (PSP) model and vendor tie-ups. The daily PET-CT scans is

expected to grow to 120-140 in FY19E from 91 in FY16 due to addition of

5-10 new centres and new patients in existing centres.

With increased shift from unorganised to the organised sector with

strong growth potentials, the diagnostic business is a sunrise sector with

high free cash generation. With strong profit growth of 34%, 39% and

40% CAGR in Gross profit, EBITDA and PAT respectively in FY16-19E,

Thyrocare is in an enviable position. We value the company at an EV of

Rs57.3bn and initiate coverage of Thyrocare with a “BUY”

recommendation with a TP at Rs1,067.

Navneet Education (NELI IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs105 | TP: Rs132 | Mcap: Rs24.9bn / US$366.0m

Navneet Education enjoys a strong foothold in the publication industry with a market share of ~65-70% in both Gujarat and Maharashtra. Navneet’s stint of more than five decades in the publication segment has not only enabled strong relationships with educational institutions, but has also created a strong brand recall and trust factor with teachers, parents and retailers. Traditional publishing business is growing @10-12% CAGR with margins north of 33%. Buoyed by its success, Navneet ventured into Stationery business which, though is not as profitable as Publishing (9-12% margins), but helps leverage distribution reach and branding of the entire portfolio. Off-late, Navneet is targeting the digital opportunity by offering B2B animated versions of syllabus to schools and other B2C products like Cloud (TOPSCORER),pen drives and APP based product. Navneet has been a value stock over the years with a payout ratio of ~48%. However, considering RoE of 23% and consistent earnings over FY16-FY18E period, Navneet is well-positioned to deliver superior returns. Strong management bandwidth with proven track record, high visibility on operating cash-flows, superior return ratios and strong balance sheet, makes Navneet a preferred ‘BUY’ in the Education space with a TP of Rs132.

Strong content portfolio helps steady cash generation in publishing: Navneet enjoys near monopoly position in the supplementary books segment in Western India and generates ~Rs1.9bn EBITDA/annum in the publishing segment. Regular capex of Rs250-300m and strong cash generation makes publishing segment a cash cow for funding future growth avenues.

EBI to contribute 6% to growth for FY18E: Enclyclopaedia Britannica India (EBI) acquisition will give Navneet a straight 6% growth boost in revenues for FY18 which is significant contribution considering the 11% CAGR growth experienced by the company for FY11‐FY16 period. We like the deal as Navneet is almost debt free currently and is expected to generate cash flows in excess of Rs1.5bn for FY17

NIIT Technologies (NITEC IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs397 | TP: Rs590 | Mcap: Rs24.3bn / US$356.4m

NIIT Technologies’ (NIIT Tech’s) Q2FY17 revenues and margins were better than expectations. Revenue growth was driven by growth in Travel & Transport vertical and the Insurance business. Company expects insurance product business (~7% of revenues), which is mostly UK based, to remain muted in FY17, as Brexit may cause delay in decision‐making. NIIT Tech has guided for a softer Q3 due to seasonality in the business. Barring insurance, all the services business has a steady outlook for FY17 and company has guided for a better H2FY17 on the back of strong order bookings. Order bookings were ahead of company’s average at US$143m and executable order book is at US$309m.

Revenue and Margin beat: NIIT Tech reported revenue growth of 3.5% QoQ in CC terms (PLe: 3%). In USD, revenues grew by 2.3% QoQ to US$103.4m. EBITDA margins increased by 139bps QoQ at 16.5% beating our estimates. EBITDA margins increased mainly due to increase in international revenues and decline in SG&A costs for the quarter. Adj. EPS for the quarter increased by 12.8% QoQ to Rs9.7

Strong order intake; Digital business continues to remain strong: Fresh order intake for NIIT Tech was at US$143m, highest in the last several quarters driven by large wins from USA and EMEA. Amongst verticals, BFSI and Travel & Transportation business gained traction and increased by 2.3/5.5%, respectively, QoQ. Digital business growth remained strong and grew 9% QoQ and represents 19% of the company’s revenue mix.

We have a ‘BUY’ with TP of Rs590 based on 12x FY18 EPS. Stock is inexpensive at 9.7x/8.7x FY17/FY18 EPS and expected revenue recovery in H2FY17 will drive stock performance. Company also expects EBITDA margins to improve from 15.7% in Q2FY17 to 17.5% in Q4FY17. Margin expansion can drive earnings upgrade for the stock.

VRL Logistics (VRLL IN) Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs263 | TP: Rs338 | Mcap: Rs24.0bn / US$353.0m

VRL Logistics (VRL) is the largest pan-India surface logistics and parcel delivery service provider with an experience of four decades in the Indian markets. The company owns and operates Pan-India fleet of Commercial Vehicles (3904) in goods transportation (GT), while Bus operations (425 buses) are concentrated in Southern and Western regions of India. VRL is expected to have earnings CAGR of 17% over FY16-FY18E period led by strong performance in Goods and Bus Transport Segment. However, if reforms like New Road Transport and Safety Bill & GST Bill gets implemented by Apr-17, then VRL may emerge as a key beneficiary with almost double-digit volume growth as we anticipate 20% increased availability of GT vehicles which are currently having high idling times at border crossings and tax collection check posts. Further, VRL is much better placed to garner any volume shift from unorganized to organized segment. VRL trades at 17x FY18E PER and 7.9x EV/EBITDA FY18E. The valuations are attractive considering: 1) Strong management pedigree with proven track record 2) High visibility on operating cash-flows 3) Superior returns ratios (above 23% RoE) amidst listed logistics players 4) Steady margins on the back of lower fuel prices and efficient use of Bio-diesel 5) Strong balance sheet (Net D/E of 0.4x FY16) and 6) Strong recovery potential if economic activity perks up. We would like to highlight that volumes in the Goods Transport segment for FY17 are looking down due to the ongoing disruption which can hurt our earnings projections for FY17, however we are pretty confident of growth returning back from FY18 and recommend VRL as a portfolio stock with a TP of Rs338.

Renewed focus on BT segment: VRL is looking to add 60-70 Volvo buses in FY17 at a capex of Rs600m (16% addition to total fleet) on select profitable routes. It is growth ready in this segment ahead of the passage of the New Road Transport and Safety Bill.
