Multiple strategies to manage growth; will auger well post 80C
The top four life insurance companies delivered 4% to 18% APE growth in 3QFY20. While
October was a weak month on APE, most companies bounced back in November and
December 2019. Interestingly, the drivers of growth were different across players. For example:
SBI Life delivered superior ULIP growth, mostly though agency channel, which pushed the
business to meet MDRT targets. While ICICI Prudential Life was in the positive after reporting
muted growth for the preceding six months), the demand seems to be driven by traditional
business- mostly par and protection business. HDFC Life’s yoy growth was driven by par (likely
its new product) and ongoing traction in the non-par business, though down qoq. Limited pay,
return of premium protection policies and non-par policies with regular income were key drivers
for Max Life. Thus, despite the absence of any significant catalyst (like high ULIPs or falling
interest rates), large players were able to use various strategies to deliver healthy growth.
The above trends, in our view, highlight the ability of life insurance companies to manage
growth through a combination of products and channels. These provide some comfort on the
ability of the top players to sail through potential near-term challenges like losing the 80C sales
pitch in FY2021E.
Is protection business losing sheen?
Most life insurers have reported a moderate pace of growth in the protection business led by
(1) competition on pricing in individual business, (2) muted growth in the credit life business,
either due to high distribution costs or slowdown at NBFCs and (3) transitioning towards
increasing share of limited pay policies.
Market sources suggest that reinsurers are planning to hike reinsurance rates on term policies.
Two likely reasons (1) adverse mortality experience due to aggressive pricing – this has however
not yet been reflected in the operating variance reported by large players in FY2019 and
(2) expansion into interiors/newer customer segments, with adverse mortality experience. In
case of the latter, the ability of insurance companies to differentiate and underwrite customers
will be crucial to drive profitability.
Are insurance companies assuming higher risks?
Strong VNB growth during the quarter was mostly driven by higher APE growth. VNB margin
expansion was about 60 to 250 bps yoy. This compares with significantly higher risk on balance
sheet -the share of non-par savings policies increased by ~500 to 1,700 bps yoy. Following
strong growth in HDFC Life’s non-par business in 1QFY20, other players seems to be catching
on. The share of non-par protection has increased albeit moderately. It appears that incremental
margins are lower due to ROP and LP products. Solvency has reduced yoy for ICICI Prudential
and Max Life.
Insurance India
Product diversification augurs well for growth. 3QFY20 trends of top four life
companies suggest that healthy APE and VNB growth, though moderating from 1H,
was driven by a variety of factors, without any common catalyst for the quarter. This
likely indicates multiple drivers of products and channels that insurance companies can
toggle with to deliver superior growth and in that sense reduce the impact of any
developments like the reduction of 80C benefits. However, VNB margin expansion was
moderate as compared to the rise in non-par business, likely indicating higher risk on
balance sheet.

APE growth – Diverse trends, no common thread
Life insurers (except ICICI Prudential Life) reported APE growth in the range of 16-18% yoy
in 3QFY20. We don’t see any common trend or growth driver. (1) SBI Life and Max Life
picked up in ULIPs (18-19%) while HDFC Life and ICICI Prudential Life slowed down (-11%
to -35%). (2) Growth rate in protection APE was strong for Max Life (1.4X) and ICICI
Prudential (34%) but moderated (10-15%) for HDFC Life and SBI Life. (3) Non-par business
moderated for HDFC Life to 1.9X from 5.7X in 1HFY20, while it was stable/picked up for the
rest – ICICI Prudential Life (other segment) was up 1.9X (stable qoq), Max (1.9X from 4X)
and SBI Life (18X). The focus for most players was on non-core channels, digital and
strategic partnerships coupled with higher volumes from the agency business.
After a weak October, business bounced back in November and December. Three of
the players (excluding ICICI Prudential Life) had a weak October but bounced back in
November and December. ICICI Prudential Life was in the positive for the entire quarter after
being muted (-7% to +4%) for the preceding six months.
ULIPs: Down ICICI Life, UP SBI Life
ICICI Prudential: Life beyond ULIPs. ICICI Prudential Life’ reported 4% yoy growth in
APE in 3QFY20 after quarters of decline. Its ULIP business was down 11% yoy. This is due
to a slowdown in its high-ticket ULIP segment that is sluggish due to weak market
sentiment. ICICI Prudential Life management has made concerted efforts for delivering
stronger 3Q by (1) expanding product suite (increasing non-par annuities), (2) growing
agency channel (3QFY20 was the first quarter of 10%+ growth from agency) and
(3) focusing on new ecosystems such as digital partners, etc. Notably, its annuity business
increased 61% yoy (on a low base) in 3QFY20 (up 87% in 9MFY20).
ULIPs drive business for SBI Life. SBI Life reported overall APE growth of 16% yoy in
3QFY20. Calculated APE was muted at 8% yoy in October 2019 but revived to 23% yoy
in November 2019 and marginally moderate thereafter to 17% yoy in December 2019.
Push for ULIP business at the year-end, mostly by the agency channel (up 24% yoy), was
a volume driver. The company re-priced non-par savings products in 3QFY20, which
registered qoq lower volumes. Banking business was muted (at 9% yoy) as SBI has
achieved its 20% growth target.
Par: Down Max Life, Up HDFC Life
HDFC Life: Non-par slowed down in October, making way for par. HDFC Life’s
calculated APE dropped ~12% yoy in October 2019 as the company slowed down in the
fast growing non-par business. Growth however bounced back in November 2019 and
December 2019 at 49% yoy and 38% yoy respectively led by a pick-up in pace of the
newly launched participating product and gradual increase in protection and non-par
business. HDFC Life reported 18% yoy growth in APE in 3QFY20 to Rs18.2 bn on the
back of (1) 1.9X yoy growth in non-par savings business and (2) 15% yoy growth in the
protection business.
On a qoq basis, HDFC Life’s APE declined 24% for the non-par savings business. The
company had moderated growth in non-par savings from 2Q onwards post recording
a sharp increase in 1QFY20. Management guided that the company has broadly
achieved FY2020E target for this segment and non-par growth may further reduce in
4QFY20E.
Amid moderation in growth from non-par savings and moderate rise in protection,
strong volumes of the new product will support overall APE growth in 4QFY20E. As
such, share of participating policies will likely increase in the near term.

Par down, non-par drives Max. Max Life reported 16% yoy growth in APE led by (1) a
sharp increase in protection business at 1.4X yoy and (2) 1.9X yoy rise in non-par savings
business. ULIPs were moderated at 19% yoy in 3QFY20. The big drag was in the par
segment – APE down 27% yoy, higher than 16% decline in 2QFY20.

Is protection business losing sheen?
Slower protection APE growth for HDFC Life and SBI Life. HDFC Life and SBI Life have
moderate pace of growth in the protection business led by (1) competition on pricing in
individual business, (2) muted growth in credit life business and (3) likely adverse mortality
experience. Management of most of the companies guided an increasing pricing pressure in
the retail protection segment driving slower growth during the quarter. HDFC Life will
increasingly focus on limited pay (LP) policies, which will likely pull down VNB margins but
drive growth. SBI Life has focused on LP in the past and is now launching a new protection
product. Strong growth in protection business for Max Life was led by an increase in
distribution of these products through the agency channel.
While most players reported growth in the retail protection, credit life was muted. For
example, credit life APE for SBI Life for 9MFY20 was ~Rs 0.9 bn compared to Rs1.1 bn in
FY2019; as such, the company may not report high growth in FY2020E. HDFC Life has
renegotiated a couple of its distribution relationships in the past one year. While ICICI
Prudential Life did not share the break-up of protection APE, management highlighted that
growth in individual business was higher than credit life in 9MFY20.
ICICI Prudential Life and Max Life reported high protection growth but VNB margin
accretion missing. ICICI Prudential Life reported 37% yoy growth in protection APE in
3QFY20, albeit lower than 85-88% yoy over 1QFY20 and 2QFY20. The share of protection
business increased 315 bps yoy to 13.1% in 3QFY20 (up 550 bps yoy to 14.1% in 9MFY20).
Management highlighted that retail protection grew at a faster pace in 9MFY20 and
dominates the overall protection mix. Retail and group business dominated
incremental growth in 9MFY20. ICICI Prudential Life is a key player in the retail
protection space; management estimates its market share at ~25-30% in this
segment.

been higher than regular pay policies for ICICI Prudential Life. Persistency in limited pay
policies is higher than regular pay policies.
The company reported VNB margin expansion of 250 bps yoy, lower than growth in
share of protection APE. VNB margin in LP and ROP is likely about 2000 bps lower
than regular pay policies.
Max Life: Strong growth in protection APE; comparable VNB margin flat yoy. Max
Life reported 1.4X yoy growth in protection APE (similar across individual and group
business). The company has launched return of premium (RoP) and limited pay protection
products. While its reported pre-overrun VNB margins were up 120 bps to 23.8% in
3QFY20, these are not comparable yoy due to a difference in tax rate assumptions;
management highlighted that margins are almost flat yoy, on a comparable basis.

A couple of new products across players
Most life insurers are focused on developing and deploying new products suited to customer
needs to drive incremental APE.
HDFC Life has been a pioneer in product development. The company focused on non-par
products in 1QFY20, including its flagship, Sanchay Plus which led to strong growth in
APE over 1QFY20-2QFY20. The company has recently launched Sanchay Par Advantage,
a non-par product with higher share of equity investments.
ICICI Prudential Life has launched three new products (ICICI Pru iProtect Smart, ICICI Pru
Savings Suraksha and ICICI Pru Lakshya Wealth) targeted at various customer cohorts.
Max Life has shifted focus to higher share of endowment products from regular income
products and has launched return of premium (RoP) and limited pay protection products
off-late.
SBI Life plans to launch a new protection product in 4QFY20E which the management
expects will drive its VNB.

Moderate expansion in VNB margins- does this reflect higher balance sheet risk?
Most life insurers reported strong growth in VNB at 19-33% yoy in 3QFY20; albeit lower
than 20-57% yoy in 1HFY20 led by (1) strong APE growth of 4-18%(2) growth in protection
and non-par business (though lower than 1HFY20), (3) rising share of limited pay protection
policies which have lower margins, (4) increasing share of ULIPs (SBI Life) and par policies on

Moderate margin expansion for HDFC Life. HDFC Life’s overall VNB margins
expanded 125 bps yoy (260 bps yoy in 9MFY20) despite an increase in the share of non-
par saving and protection businesses (1650 bps).This likely reflects (1) some margin
pressure in protection business (2) lower margins products in protection like LP. VNB
margins have been lower for past two quarters than peak of 29.8% in 1QFY20 and
25.4% in 2QFY20, due to higher share of non-par policies during 1HFY20.
Comparable VNB margins flat yoy for Max Life. Max Life reported VNB margin (post-
cost overrun) of 21% though dragged by continued large investments in proprietary
channels, pre-overrun VNB margins were higher at 23.8% in 3QFY20. Reported VNB
growth was strong at 20%, boosted by expansion in VNB margin; pre overrun VNB
margin was 22.6% in 3QFY19 (post overrun was 20.6%). However, VNB margins are not
comparable yoy due to a nominal tax rate considered by the company in 9MFY19 versus
effective tax rate considered this year. Management highlighted that VNB margin, on
comparable basis, were flat yoy.
SBI Life reported meager 6 bps yoy/10 bps qoq VNB margin expansion in 3QFY20.
VNB margins expanded 10 bps qoq to 18.5% in 3QFY20 despite 530 bps increase in
share of non-par savings. This may be due to reduction in share of protection APE by 50
bps yoy and (2)700 bps decline in share of par, losing share to low-margin ULIPs. Muted
VNB margin expansion is due to re-pricing of annuity products in 3QFY20. In 1HFY20, the
company delivered about 400 bps VNB margin expansion but it was offset by about 300
bps negative investment variance, leading to net reported VNB margin expansion of 80
bps yoy. Better hedging policies uplifted VNB margins qoq.
Strong VNB growth (up 33%) for ICICI Prudential Life. ICICI Prudential Life reported
strong VNB growth in 3QFY20 (up 25% yoy in 9MFY20) led by strong growth in high-
margin protection and non-par business. There was marginal drag in VNB on the back of
(1) rising share of low margin limited pay protection policies and (2) drop in persistency
during the quarter.

Focus on increasing business through non-core channels, bancassurance down
The top life insurers have focused on increasing share of non-core and agency business and
lower dependency on bancassurance over the past few quarters. The share of bancassurance
is down by 340-1000 bps yoy in 3QFY20 for the top three players; Max was flat.

This is led by (1) increasing investments in agency, (2) training programs to improve
productivity of agents (Max Life), (3) strategic tie-ups and partnerships (for example:
partnership between HDFC Life and Airtel), (4) pushing volumes through digital aggregators
and other digital channels and (5) developing proprietary tech platforms for smoother
customer on-boarding.
The overall individual agent base has however increased at a muted pace over 9MFY20 due
to high attrition despite high gross additions. Max Life highlighted that the decline in overall
agents reflects its focus on improving productivity of live agents.
HDFC Life continues to focus on direct and other channels- 31% of individual APE.
The share of direct and other channels has increased to 31% of individual APE from 23%
in FY2019. The company has tied-up with 270 partners across 40 ecosystems to drive
growth. Additionally, the company remains focused on growing the agency channel;
agency business was up 200 bps yoy to 15% of individual APE in 9MFY20; management
highlighted that the exit rate in December was higher and as such this ratio will improve
further hereon. Number of individual agents increased to 97,691 (up 10% yoy) from
93,627 in1QFY20 and 91,172 in FY2019. Consequently, share of bancassurance
continued its downward trajectory, although still dominant at 52% of individual APE
(down 1,650 bps yoy/up 190 bps qoq).
ICICI Prudential Life: Agency and others (including non-core and direct) drive 46%
of overall APE, up 340 bps yoy
Strong traction in direct channels and corporate agents led to increase in non-core
channels. Business generated through individual agents increased 11% yoy in 3QFY20
(down 8% yoy in 1HFY20) on the back of continued increase in overall agent base
(overall individual agents up 12% in 9MFY20).
ICICI Prudential Life has tied up with new web aggregators, payments bank (tied up
with Airtel Payments Bank in September 2019) and insurance managers to drive
growth in non-core channels. ICICI Prudential Life has tied up with PayTm to sell
‘iProtect’ policies (in-app purchase for KYC compliant customers).
In order to increase business through the agency channel, the company has
(1) increased connect with highly productive agents (closer mapping to sales team,
regular training, etc.) and (2) focused on increasing activation of other agents,
including newly added ones.
APE from the bancassurance channel declined 2% yoy in 3QFY20.
SBI Life: Weak momentum in SBI. SBI Life reported 9% growth in bancassurance
channel in 3QFY20, 18% in 9MFY20. Management highlighted that State Bank of India
has delivered its about 20% target and hence went soft during the quarter. The company
pushed the agency channel in the past two months of the quarter. APE growth was
strong at 24% yoy through the agency business. Management guided that push in high-
ticket ULIPs on the back of year-end targets for agents led to sharp APE growth from this
channel. ULIPs increased 24% yoy in the agency business. Further growth in other
channels was strong at 100% yoy (on a low base).
Max Life reports steady growth across channels. Continued investments in
proprietary agency business led to strong 16% yoy individual APE growth in this channel
during 3QFY20. Management is focused on retaining and incentivizing agents with
higher productivity (those generating APE of >Rs0.1 mn per month). Consequently,
growth has remained strong despite higher agent attrition driving marginal decline in the
overall individual agency base. Focus has been on the non-par segments-the share of
non-par savings business through this channel has increased to 11% in 9MFY20 from
<1% in 9MFY19. While business from Axis Bank increased by 18% yoy, other (mostly Yes
Bank) was muted at 4% yoy.

Banks are weak in term business; needs focus
The contribution of protection business originated through bancassurance has been low at
~<5% for most players over the past two years. The business garnered through this channel
has however been increasing over the past few quarters.
HDFC Life. The company has focused on channel diversification in non-traditional
segments. Protection is just 2% of individual APE from the bancassurance channel.
ICICI Prudential Life. Contribution of protection through bancassurance has increased
to high-single digits (contribution share to overall bancassurance business), from
negligible earlier.
Max Life. Contribution of protection to overall bancassurance business is low at ~5%.
SBI Life. It has focused on protection though the bank. Its management guided that
protection business will ramp up through the agency channel in 4QFY20E owing to
increase in incentive schemes. Share of non-par (protection and savings) was 11% in
3QFY20.

Persistency ratios have generally improved
Persistency trends are generally improving. The exceptions are ICICI Prudential Life and Max
Life (in select higher buckets). Increased surrenders of ULIPs from a particular product cohort
led to a drop in persistency ratios for ICICI Prudential Life and Max Life (61st month). On the
back of weakness of capital markets and higher ULIP surrenders, trends in persistency were
mixed for most insurance companies, sequentially. Increase in limited pay protection policies
over the past few quarters with higher persistency, augurs well. Persistency ratios reported
by most companies are higher than the assumptions and as such should not result in any
negative operating variance.
High persistency ratios HDFC Life. HDFC Life’s overall persistency has improved across
most buckets on yoy basis in 3QFY20 (the company does not share persistency excluding
single premium and as such may not be comparable with ICICI Prudential Life and SBI
Life). 13th
month persistency increased 460 bps yoy to 88.8% and 25th month
persistency increased to 80.2% (up 160 bps yoy). On a sequential basis, persistency ratios
dropped marginally in early buckets most likely due to rising surrenders from ULIPs. HDFC
Life’s reported persistency ratios are higher compared to most peers across similar
buckets and above the company’s assumptions. As such, HDFC Life will likely report
positive operating persistency variance.
A tad weaker persistency for ICICI Prudential Life. ICICI Prudential Life reported 13th
month persistency (excluding single premium) of 83.1% in 8MFY20, down from 83.6%
in 5MFY20 and 84.1% in FY2019. Persistency dropped across other early buckets also
(25th and 37th). The rise in surrenders in high-ticket ULIPs on the back of weakness in
capital markets has led to a decline in persistency ratios. Persistency ratios improved
marginally in the 49th bucket. The current experience is just within the company’s
assumptions (82.5% 13 month persistency) and will not lead to any negative persistency
variance. Management guided that persistency ratios have held up well in other segments
and increased surrenders are only in select ULIP plans.
Mixed trends in persistency for Max Life. Max reported mixed trends in persistency in
3QFY20. The company does not share persistency excluding single premium and as such
may not be comparable with ICICI Prudential Life and SBI Life. While overall persistency
ratios were broadly stable in the 13th, 25th and 49th month buckets, it deteriorated in
37th month and 61st month (down ~400 bps yoy/200 bps qoq in 8MFY20 to 51%).
Management highlighted that increased surrenders from a particular ULIP cohort has led
to weak persistency. As such persistency in the non-par and protection business is broadly
stable.
SBI Life reports strong persistency trends across the board. SBI Life reported yoy
improvement in persistency (on regular premium basis) across all buckets in 3QFY20.
Lower redemptions in ULIPs largely led to improvement in persistency. On regular
premium basis, persistency ratios improved 150-400 bps across buckets in 9MFY20. On a
sequential basis, persistency improved across all buckets except 49th
(marginally down).
13th month persistency increased 150 bps yoy in 9MFY20 to 83.5% and 400 bps yoy in
the 49th month bucket to 76%.

Cost ratios elevated
Calculated cost/APE ratio increased 30-250 bps yoy for most companies in 3QFY20 owing to
continued investment in technological initiatives, a widening distribution base (including
new strategic partnerships) and product diversification.
High new business strain for HDFC Life. HDFC Life’s cost/APE was up 60 bps yoy to
25.3%; albeit lower than 27-28% observed over the past two quarters; likely due to high
growth in non-par business. Operating expenses were up 15% yoy. New business strain
was high at Rs6.1 bn in 3QFY20 compared to Rs5.1 bn in 2QFY20 and Rs4.5 bn in
3QFY19.
Cost/APE up 250 bps yoy for ICICI Prudential Life in 3QFY20. Operating expenses
increased 32% yoy in 3QFY20 while APE growth was muted at 4% yoy. Growth in
protection APE was higher at 37% yoy. Calculated cost/APE increased 250 bps yoy/30
bps qoq in 3QFY20 to 16.5% (up 125 bps yoy in 9MFY20) owing to higher expenses in
the protection business, investment in business expansion and technology initiatives.
Employee expenses were up 25% yoy. Reported cost/TWRP (total cost including
commission/(total premium- 90% of single premium)) decreased 90 bps yoy to 11.1% in
9MFY20 in the savings business.
Operating expenses up 27% yoy for SBI Life. Overall operating expenses growth was
strong at 27% yoy. SBI Life continued to invest in (1) protection business, (2) agency
business and (3) digital initiatives. Calculated cost/APE ratio increased 30 bps yoy
(down100 bps qoq) to 12.2%. Sequential improvement in cost ratios was led by strong
growth in the high ticket ULIP segment.
Max Life will continue to have large overruns. Cost/average AUM increased 20 bps
yoy for Max Life to 5.1% in 3QFY20. Growth in operating expenses was high at 21%
driven by continued investments in proprietary channels, in order to reduce dependence
on Axis Bank. The company expects cost ratios to remain high till FY2022E.

Strong domestic show
SUNP’s 3QFY20 revenues were in line with our estimates, as strong domestic performance was
offset by weak performance in the Taro US business. The domestic business grew 13% yoy,
exceeding our estimates by ~3%. After several years, SUNP also announced 10% expansion of
its domestic field force to strengthen its domestic business. Taro sales declined US$13 mn qoq
to US$148 mn, largely attributable to the US topicals market. EMs disappointed with 3% yoy
growth, though, excluding South Africa tenders, the division reported strong 15% yoy growth.
Gross margins at 73% were 70 bps higher than estimates, given the geographical mix, with
EBITDA in line with our estimates, despite an 8% EBITDA miss in Taro. Despite sharply higher
amortization, PBT was largely in line with our estimates, though, a sharp increase in tax rate due
to one-off factors led to ~11% miss on EPS.
Sharp growth in global specialty segment, with 3QFY20 sales at US$118 mn
Global specialty sales were US$118 mn (+US$27 mn qoq), with bulk of growth attributed to
ordering patterns in Absorica and Levulan, with Ilumya likely to have moved up by further
US$2-3 mn qoq to US$8-10 mn (US$18-20 mn in FY2019), though it is now tracking US$45-50
mn on an annualized basis as per patient trends. We continue to expect Ilumya to reach
US$145 mn sales in FY2021, and further increase to US$177 mn in FY2022. The management
also provided R&D numbers for the specialty business, which at 24% of sales in 1QFY20 (US$25
mn for 1HFY20), are in line with the sharp ~45% drop in specialty R&D seen in FY2019, given
limited investments so far in label expansion trials for Ilumya. However, the management
guided to increase R&D costs from FY2021, due to pivotal trials for PsA, and Phase II trials for
other indications for Ilumya. SUNP launched Cequa during the quarter, and has seen good
initial feedback, with our estimates suggesting 2-3% market share within a quarter of launch.
SUNP has launched Absorica LD, to counter generic threat from 4QFY21, though the
effectiveness of such a switch strategy is questionable, and will depend on the payor
negotiations given Absorica generic entry in 4QCY20.
Market concerns on specialty pipeline adequately captured in the multiples - ADD
We believe market concerns on the specialty pipeline are now adequately captured in the
valuation with the stock trading at 10X FY2021 EV/EBITDA and 18.5X FY2021 P/E. We tweak
our FY2021/22 EPS by ~2% each. ADD stays.
Sun Pharmaceuticals (SUNP) Pharmaceuticals
In-line quarter. SUNP’s 3QFY20 results were broadly in line with estimates, helped by
strong performance in the domestic segment, which grew 13% yoy, offsetting weak
Taro performance. Global specialty sales increased US$27 mn qoq to US$118 mn partly
helped by ordering patterns for Absorica and Levulan, with 9MFY20 run-rate now at
US$303 mn. We believe Ilumya and Cequa are progressing well on the market roll-out,
with market concerns on specialty pipeline adequately captured in the multiples. ADD.

Residential sales supported by Ultima in 3QFY20; will need new avenues of sales from hereon
DLF continues to maintain sales momentum with pre-sales of Rs7.3 bn in 3QFY20 comfortable
to achieve sales of Rs27 bn for FY2020E. We highlight net sales for FY2019 were at Rs24.4 bn
exceeding the company’s target of Rs22.5 bn (+144% yoy) for the year. We note that sales
from Rest of Gurugram—Rs8.1 bn made good cancellations of Rs1.5 bn in Phase 5.
Outstanding completed inventory stands reduced to Rs94 bn (area of 10.14 mn sq. ft) as of
December 2019 while pending receivable from sold inventory now stands increased to Rs28 bn.
We note that near-completed inventory at Ultima and moderation of sales at Camelias do pose
a challenge for sales target in FY2021E (KIE Rs30 bn), though launch of a new 7 mn sq. ft low-
rise developments with ticket size of Rs10-35 mn could provide the boost needed by DLF.
Collections at Rs6 bn (-9% yoy) for 3QFY20 from residential sales were supplemented by rental
stream of Rs360 mn. Operational cash outflow of Rs6 bn comprised Rs1.8 bn towards
construction expenses, Rs1.8 bn towards finance cost and the balance towards taxes and
corporate overheads resulting in net cash flow of Rs390 mn in 3QFY20 which is the lowest
operation cash flow in the last seven quarters, since DLF turned operating cash flow positive.
DLF recognized Rs13 bn of revenues comprising sales of Rs10 bn from development business
comprising delivery of 2.38 mn sq. ft while rental income from DLF’s own rental portfolio was
at Rs606 mn. Net debt for DLF stands at Rs48 bn in 3QFY20 from Rs44 bn in 2QFY20.
Maintain ADD with revised fair value of Rs260/share
We maintain ADD rating with a revised fair value of Rs260/share (from Rs215/share) for DLF as
we roll-forward to a March 2022 based fair value estimate (from March 2021). We note that
our fair value estimate does not include the new proposed development of 7 mn sq. ft for the
development business that could add Rs33 bn of gross cash flows, and (2) proposed
development of DLF Downtown (5 mn sq. ft) in Chennai and Gurgaon that will entail a capex of
Rs27 bn.
Our fair value comprises (1) Rs155/share (Rs382 bn) for attributable ownership in DCCDL,
(2) Rs67/share (Rs166 bn) for land bank of 192 mn sq. ft, (3) Rs22/share (Rs54 bn) for ongoing
residential portfolio including inventory of Rs94 bn, and (4) Rs6/share (Rs15 bn) for two hotel
properties.
DLF (DLFU) Real Estate
Sales momentum maintained. DLF reported robust operational performance with
sales of Rs7.2 (+30% yoy) in 3QFY20 along with stable rental income of Rs7.6 bn from
DCCDL during the quarter. The sales performance should be seen in the context of
cancellations at Camelias that were made good with strong sales of Rs8 bn in Ultima.
Launch of new projects in the rental business as well as development portfolio remains
key for DLF. Maintain ADD rating with revised FV of Rs260/share (from Rs215/share).

Independent floors to fill in moderation in premium segment
In order to propel the next leg of growth to its residential sales, DLF is planning to develop 7
mn sq. ft by converting its existing plotted inventory into low-rise independent floors which
is expected to show better sales traction in the current market scenario. These floors would
have a ticket-size of Rs10-35 mn. Total sales value for these developments is expected at
Rs50 bn with construction cost of Rs17 bn. We note that this is a departure from DLF’s
extant strategy to develop only large premium apartments, and is reflective of challenges the
company may be facing in maintaining sales momentum in the higher ticket size
developments.
DCCDL continues its resilient earnings performance
DCCDL, the rental arm of DLF, reported EBITDA of Rs7.8 bn (Rs8.1 bn in 2QFY20) with
revenues of Rs10.8 bn (Rs11.6 bn in 2QFY20). During the quarter, the company achieved
net leasing of 0.43 mn sq. ft taking total leased area to 28.7 mn sq. ft. Overall occupancy
across the portfolio remained healthy at 94.7% in 3QFY20. For 3QFY20, DCCDL has gross
operating cash flows of Rs7.8 bn and net operating cash flows of Rs7.5 bn with annual
rental run-rate of Rs31 bn. We estimate DCCDL’s EBITDA to grow to Rs42 bn in FY2022E
from an estimated Rs36 bn in FY2020E on the back of commissioning of Cyber Park (2.5
mn sq. ft) and Chennai IT SEZ (0.8 mn sq. ft).
Expansion of rental portfolio to continue to boost earnings
DCCDL currently has an operational portfolio of 30.3 mn sq. ft with anticipated rental run-
rate of Rs38 bn for FY2020. The subsidiary will also add (1) DLF Downtown, Gurgaon with
leasable area of 3 mn sq. ft in Phase 1 (0.3 mn sq. ft pre-leased) to be eventually ramped up
to 11 mn sq. ft., (2) DLF Downtown, Chennai with leasable area of 2 mn sq. ft in Phase 1 to
be expanded to 7 mn sq. ft, and (3) Chennai IT SEZ (0.8 mn sq. ft).
Apart from this, DLF Cyber City, Gurugram has additional development potential of 11.5 mn
sq. ft thus taking total development potential in DCCDL to ~30 mn sq. ft.
Transfer of assets from DLF (Mall of India, Noida and DLF Avenue, Saket) along with
commencement of new assets i.e DLF Cyber Park (~2.5 mn sq. ft) and Chennai IT SEZ is
likely to increase rental income to Rs37 bn in FY2020. We highlight that as per
management, contractual escalation, improved occupancy as well as re-leasing of extant
contracts could add as much as Rs4.6 bn by FY2022 to extant rental income of Rs30 bn.
Other highlights from the earnings call
Management remains confident of achieving sales target of Rs27 bn for FY2020 even as
it faces slowdown in sales of luxury and super-luxury projects. The company witnessed
cancellation of eight units at its Camellias project which were made by fresh sales of four
units in January 2020, however, overall sales for the project are expected to remain
subdued.
DLF net debt increased to Rs48.7 bn on account of interest payout to DCCDL as well
capex for commercial developments. Net debt is expected to remain at the same level in
4QFY20 as well. DLF is planning to monetize its existing land parcels for rental
development by way of JV or new alliances to reduce net debt level to Rs25 bn over the
next 12-24 months. As per management, annuity assets in DLF which provide rentals of
Rs2.5 bn should be able to service its finance cost thereby reducing dependence on cash
flows from development business.
DLF is still on the drawing board for development of its prime land parcel in Tulsiwadi,
Mumbai (2 mn sq. ft). The company could look at either residential or commercial
development on lease/sales basis and may launch any project in 2QFY21. There is no
progress on development of land parcel in Chankya Puri, Delhi.

Capital expenditure for 5 mn sq. ft in DLF Downtown, Gurgaon and Chennai would
require capex of Rs27 bn over the next 2-3 years.
Decline in revenues (including other income) to Rs15.3 bn was on account of a change in
the product mix as well as loss of rental income on account of transfer of assets to
DCCDL.
DCCDL reported rental income of Rs7.6 bn while other income was lower at Rs530 mn
82% yoy) on account of loss of interest income due to settlement of payables by DLF.
DLF reported corporate overhead expenses at Rs2.1 bn are expected to reduce to Rs1.5
bn in 4QFY20.
Ultima, Phase 5 which contributed to major sales for DLF in the past two quarters has a
six month payment schedule which will contribute to collections in 4QFY20 and 1QFY21.
Exceptional item of Rs2.3 bn during the quarter was on account of profit from transfer
of TIBCO, Chennai SEZ to DCCDL.

3QFY20 results: Volume decline impacted the operating performance
Eicher reported 3QFY20 standalone EBITDA of Rs5.95 bn (down 14% yoy), which was 4%
below our estimates. Revenues increased by 1% yoy which was led by 6% yoy decline in
volumes, which was offset by 7% increase in net realizations. Increase in ASPs was primarily
due to the addition of disc brakes and ABS in RE bikes. EBITDA margin came in at 25.2% (-430
bps yoy) led by lower gross margin, higher staff cost and other expenses resulting in negative
operating leverage. Gross profit per vehicle declined by 1% yoy while EBITDA per vehicle
declined by 8.5% yoy. Staff cost declined by 1% yoy while other expenses increased by 7%
yoy. The company reported standalone adjusted net profit of Rs4.9 bn (-2.5% yoy), which was
2% below our estimates. Tax rate stood at 22.9% versus our estimate of 26% in 3QFY20. Due
to a steep slowdown in urban areas, the company is aggressively expanding into the
hinterland as a part of its strategy to make inroads into under-penetrated areas. The
company has opened 500 small format stores by December-end and plans to open 250
more by March 2020 end.
Performance of VECV was weak in 3QFY20 due to volume decline
VECV reported revenues of Rs21.5 bn (-23% yoy) in 3QFY20 due by 27% yoy decline in
volumes. EBITDA margin came in at 6.2% (down 50 bps yoy) mainly due to higher discounting
and negative operating leverage. Hence, Eicher’s share of profits in VECV declined significantly
yoy in 3QFY20 to Rs305 mn (-60% yoy).
Maintain SELL; Compliance costs headwind and demand slowdown lead to margin pressure
The company posted an in-line quarter but sustainability of volume uptick in FY2021 is difficult
in our view. The company also did not reveal any plans to launch a new bike platform,
which could limit volume growth upside in FY2021. However we have increased our
FY2020-22E EPS estimates by 3% led by an increase in other income and lower tax rate.
Maintain SELL and revise fair value to Rs18,700 (from Rs17,000 earlier) as we roll over to
December 2021E.
Eicher Motors (EIM) Automobiles & Components
Volume outlook remains muted. Eicher Motors reported 13% yoy decline in
consolidated EBITDA in 3QFY20 led by weak volume growth and margin pressures in
both VECV and Royal Enfield businesses. Standalone revenues increased 1% yoy led by
6% yoy decline in volumes and 7% yoy increase in ASPs. Significant cost increase and
the economic slowdown led to a decline in RE volumes. We expect volume pressure to
persist in FY2021 due to (1) shift towards BS-VI engines and (2) increase in competitive
intensity. Maintain SELL; FV revised to Rs18,700 (from Rs17,000 earlier).

Exhibit 1: Standalone 3QFY20 EBITDA was 4% below our estimates led by higher-than-expected other expenses Eicher Motors interim results, March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn)
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Standalone business: Staff costs decline yoy, protecting margins from sliding
further
Eicher reported 3QFY20 standalone EBITDA of Rs5.95 bn (down 14% yoy), which was 4%
below our estimates. Revenues increased by 1% yoy which was led by 6% yoy decline in
volumes, which was offset by 7% increase in net realizations. Increase in ASPs was primarily
due to addition of disc brakes and ABS in RE bikes and a richer product mix. EBITDA margin
came in at 25.2% (-430 bps yoy) led by lower gross margin, higher staff cost and other
expenses resulting in negative operating leverage. Gross profit per vehicle declined by 1%
yoy while EBITDA per vehicle declined by 8.5% yoy. Staff cost declined by 1% yoy while
other expenses increased by 7% yoy. The company reported standalone adjusted net profit
of Rs4.9 bn (-2.5% yoy), which was 2% below our estimates. Tax rate stood at 22.9%
versus our estimate of 26% in 3QFY20.
Gross margin deteriorated by 370 bps yoy despite the company passing on the increase in
cost plus the margins in 3QFY20. We note that the company’s ASPs have increased by
Rs8,673/bike yoy in 3QFY20 and raw material cost per bike has increased by Rs9,155/bike.
Sequentially, gross margins deteriorated by 370 bps as increase in raw material cost
outpaced increase in ASPs in 3QFY20 as the company did not take any price increases in this
quarter due to a steep slowdown in demand. In our previous notes, we have highlighted
that the company would not be able to sustain its margins in the current scenario of
declining volumes, which got reflected in this quarter.
EBITDA margin continued to remain under pressure. EBITDA margin was below 30% for the
fourth-consecutive quarter led by subdued demand and we expect EBITDA margin to remain
around 23.3% and 24.6% in FY2021E and FY2022E, respectively.

3QFY20 EBITDA fell 6% yoy led by volume decline
Hero reported 3QFY20 EBITDA of Rs10.4 bn (down 6% yoy), which was 17% above of our
estimates due to higher-than-expected spare part revenues and improvement in gross margins
in 3QFY20. Revenues decreased by 11% yoy led by 14% yoy volume decline due to subdued
industry demand environment and partly due to efforts to correct inventory levels, which was
partly offset by 4% yoy increase in ASPs due to price hikes related to ABS/CBS norms in
3QFY20. EBITDA margin came in at 14.8% (+80 bps yoy and +30 bps qoq), which was 190 bps
above our estimates due to better-than-expected gross margins due to aggressive cost
reduction, raw material cost benefits and a better mix due to higher spare part sales. Gross
margin came in at 33.4% due to (1) savings from LEAP program, (2) softer raw material prices
and (3) some change in inventories of finished goods (+20-30 bps impact). Staff cost increased
by 8% yoy in 3QFY20 while other expenses declined by 9% yoy. The company reported PAT of
Rs8.8 bn (+14.5% yoy), which was 33% higher than our estimates due to a beat at EBITDA
level and lower tax rate. Tax rate for 3QFY20 stood at 13.0% (23.2% tax rate in 9MFY20) as
the company revalued its deferred tax liabilities as per the new corporate tax rate.
Increase our FY2020-21E EPS estimates by 5-6%; Upgrade to REDUCE (from SELL)
We have increased our FY2020-21E EPS estimates by 5-6% led by (1) 6-10% cut in our volume
estimates offset by (2) 100-170 bps improvement in EBITDA margin assumptions. We expect
two-wheeler industry volumes to be weak in FY2021 (-5% yoy decline) due to increase in cost
related to a shift towards BS-VI, which will hurt industry demand. We expect domestic two-
wheeler industry demand to revive only from FY2022 onwards. We are quite impressed by the
company’s ability to cut costs in a challenging environment and we bake in the cost reduction
efforts in our estimates to raise our margin assumptions but we remain concerned on industry
due to steep cost increase due to BS-VI. Upgrade to REDUCE (from SELL earlier) on fair
valuations. We raise our fair value to Rs2,550 (from Rs2,500 earlier), valuing the company at
14X December 2021 core EPS + Rs391 of cash/cash equivalent (includes investment of Rs68 in
Ather Energy and Hero Fincorp).
Hero Motocorp (HMCL) Automobiles & Components
Impressive cost reduction efforts aid margins. Hero MotoCorp’s 3QFY20 EBITDA
declined by 6% led by a steep demand slowdown. The company improved EBITDA
margin by 80 bps yoy in 3QFY20 led by aggressive cost reduction and material cost
reduction benefits. Hero MotoCorp will face headwinds in FY2021 due to (1)
regulatory-driven cost pressures and (2) aggressive pricing strategy by peers. Upgrade to
REDUCE (from SELL) with revised FV of Rs2,550 (from Rs2,500 earlier).

Key takeaways from the conference call
The company indicated that the current dealer inventory levels for BS-IV are around five
weeks. The company expects a couple of tail-winds in the near-term led by (1) good
monsoon due to high reservoir levels which augur well for Rabi sowing and (2) pre-buy in
4QFY20 before implementation of BS-VI compliant vehicles. However, the company
highlighted that the sustained recovery in the domestic two-wheeler industry will take
time. The company also highlighted that wholesale volumes will stay negative yoy in the
near term due to inventory correction.
The company has also launched a few BS-VI models and intends to stop production of
BS-IV models by mid-February. The company indicated they have gone with multipoint
fuel injection technology in BS-VI models while Bajaj Auto has launched electronic
carburetors in the economy segment models. The price difference between the two
models is not much, around Rs1,000-1,500.
Spare revenues for the company stood at Rs8 bn in 3QFY20 versus Rs7.2 bn in 2QFY20 as
against Rs7.3 bn in 3QFY19. Spare part revenues was 11.4% of net sales in 3QFY20
versus 9.5% in 2QFY20.
Overall financing for the company stood at 46% in 3QFY20 versus 37% in 1QFY20.
The company gained 200 bps market share in the domestic motorcycle segment yoy in
3QFY20 due to 590 bps yoy increase in market share in the economy segment.
In 2QFY20, the company had introduced a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) and the
company has considered a provision of Rs601 mn for employees who have accepted to
be part of VRS as exceptional item in 2QFY20 results.
Debtor days for the company had increased by 8 days in 2QFY20 but have come down to
1QFY20 levels in 3QFY20 as per the company. Inventory days for the company have
increased by 3 days and creditor days have gone up by 10 days as on September 30,
2019 from March 2019 levels.
Other key points: (1) The company had taken price hikes of Rs200 per vehicle in July
2019 largely in order to mitigate cost increase, (2) the company has guided for capex of
Rs15 bn in FY2020 (which might be a tad lower) led by capacity expansion in Andhra
Pradesh plant (total capacity of 10 mn vehicles) and R&D cost related to BS-VI engines,
and (3) as per the company, the price increase due to BS-VI is 10-15%.

Results modestly above estimates, reflecting healthy growth in volumes and steady margins
IGL’s EBITDA increased 23% yoy to Rs3.9 bn in 3QFY20, modestly above our estimate, led by
robust 13.4% growth in volumes to 6.7 mcm/d and qoq steady unit EBITDA margins at
Rs6.4/scm. IGL’s net income jumped 43% yoy to Rs2.8 bn (EPS of Rs4.1), 6.5% above our
estimate, boosted by higher other income and lower tax rate at 24.6%. In 9MFY20, IGL
delivered a strong 24-43% jump in EBITDA and adjusted net income (EPS of Rs11.5) led by a
robust 12.6% growth in volumes and 10% increase in unit margins to Rs6.4/scm amid lower
gas prices. Income from associates, CUGL and MNGL, jumped 51% yoy to Rs1.1 bn in 9MFY20,
likely benefiting from a lower tax. IGL incurred capex of ~Rs7.5 bn in 9MFY20; the company
has raised its capex guidance to Rs12 bn in FY2020 and cumulative Rs30 bn over FY2021-22.
Slower growth in CNG volumes offset by uplift in industrial and commercial PNG volumes
IGL’s overall volumes grew by 13.4% yoy to 6.7 mcm/d in 3QFY20 reflecting (1) 9.2% growth
in CNG volumes to 318 mn kgs (~4.9 mcm/d); slowest since 1QFY17 perhaps reflecting a sharp
slowdown in addition to three-wheelers segment and a high base from the previous year, (2)
35% jump in industrial and commercial PNG off-take underpinned by policy-driven shift to
cleaner fuels and (3) 16.4% growth in residential PNG volumes with rising household
connections. Overall PNG volumes grew by 18.7% yoy to 164 mscm (~1.8 mcm/d), while supply
to other CGD entities in Gurugram and Faridabad region declined 1% yoy.
Raise estimates factoring in higher margins; reiterate SELL with revised FV of Rs365
We raise EPS estimates by 4-6% factoring in (1) higher unit EBITDA margins amid reset of PMT
gas price and expected decline in domestic gas price and (2) other minor changes. Our DCF-
based FV increases to Rs365 from Rs320 on higher long-term unit margins and rollover.
Reverse valuation implies 15% CAGR in volumes/EBITDA over next decade ignoring risks
Our reverse valuation exercise suggests that the current stock price is discounting 15% CAGR in
volumes/EBITDA over the next decade and 5% growth in perpetuity. We remain wary on the
incremental opportunity in new license areas, which may require significant capex outlay and
yield lower returns. We also see downside risks to volumes and/or unit margins in the medium
term from (1) progressive changes in regulations to enable competition and (2) accelerated
adoption of EVs in public transport for Delhi. Even as these concerns may take time to impact
earnings, incremental developments may drive de-rating of valuation multiple.
Indraprastha Gas (IGL) Gas Utilities
Robust growth, priced in; rising capex a worry. IGL delivered robust results in
3QFY20, modestly ahead of our expectations, led by 13% growth in volumes and qoq
steady unit margins. Network rollout in new license areas will drive an increase in capex,
which may be returns-dilutive. Our reverse valuation exercise suggests the stock is
already pricing in 15% CAGR in volumes/EBITDA for the next decade. SELL stays, with a
revised DCF-based FV of Rs365 (Rs320 earlier) on higher unit margins and rollover.

3QFY20: EBITDA beat led by lower costs
NMDC reported 3QFY20 revenue of Rs30 bn (-18% yoy, +34% qoq) with volumes at 8.4 mn
tons (-3% yoy, +45% qoq), impacted by lower realizations. Realization of Rs3,575/ton (-15%
yoy, -7% qoq) was impacted by domestic oversupply and weak steel demand. Cost/ton of
Rs1,682/ton declined by 17% qoq (-2% yoy) led by lower other expense due to operational
leverage and lower exports (7.4% of volume mix versus 10.1% in 2QFY20). Reported EBITDA of
Rs15.9 bn (-26% yoy, +50% qoq) or Rs1,892/ton (-24% yoy, +4% qoq) was above our
estimate of Rs15 bn. NMDC has shifted to the new tax regime and reported NPAT of Rs13.8bn
(-13%yoy, +96% qoq) includes deferred tax adjustment of Rs1.5bn. NMDC declared a DPS of
Rs5.29 implying a 50% payout for 9MFY20.
Domestic prices to remain elevated amidst auction led transition in Odisha
We expect majority of the mines put under auction in Odisha to be won by captive producers
who would likely secure more capacity than required. This would tighten the merchant market
and benefit existing miners like NMDC. Odisha government has concluded auction of seven
mines so far and only one mine has been won by a merchant miner. Domestic iron ore prices
during 9MFY20E traded at 20% discount to import parity (see Exhibit 3), versus historic range
of 8-10% discount, mainly due to higher iron ore production in Odisha. However, the balance
changed from January 2020E with restocking demand ahead of auctions. We note that after
two price hikes of total 23% during January 2020, domestic prices are now at 10% discount to
import parity. We expect domestic market to remain tight in FY2021E and see upside risk to
prices.
Maintain ADD with a revised fair value of Rs135 (from Rs140)
NMDC’s Donimalai mine (6 mtpa) remains shut pending state clearances with the case hearing
yet to be concluded at the mines tribunal. We revise our restart expectation from 1QFY21E to
3QFY21E and reduce FY2021E volumes by 2 mn tons. We increase FY2020E EBITDA by 1%
factoring higher prices and cut FY2021E EBITDA by 3% due to lower volumes. NMDC is well
poised for a strong FY2021E with extension on existing mining leases and a tighter market due
to auction led disruption. Higher dividend (50% payout assumption), timely commissioning of
steel plant and divestment or demerger of steel plant provides upside risk.
NMDC (NMDC) Metals & Mining
Strong quarter with dividend bonanza. NMDC’s 3QFY20 EBITDA was 6% higher
than our estimate led by lower costs. Restocking ahead of mines expiry is Odisha has
tightened the domestic market allowing recent price hikes and should keep prices
elevated in FY2021E. The Donimalai mine remains shut awaiting state clearance and we
delay the restart by six months to 2HFY21E in our estimates. We revise EBITDA by
+1%/-3% FY2020/21E, fair value to Rs135 (from Rs140) and maintain ADD.

Lack of clarity compounds poor performance
LPC’s 3QFY20 revenues were 16% lower than estimates primarily due to the de-consolidation
of Kyowa business for the full quarter versus our estimate of 75 days of consolidation.
Adjusting for Kyowa, revenue missed our estimate by 3%. India grew 9% yoy, 2.7% lower
than our expectations. US revenues, at US$186 mn grew US$2 mn qoq (-US$5 vs KIE), as there
was virtually no benefit of winter season stocking for its cephs portfolio. EU was ~10% lower
than our estimate, though RoW had another strong quarter with 20% yoy growth (+4% vs
KIE).
Adjusted for Kyowa divestment, gross profits were 3% lower than our estimates. EBITDA,
however, dropped to Rs4.3 bn, missing our estimates by ~29% (-18% adjusted for Kyowa),
with EBIDTA margin down to 11.4%. While EBITDA was also impacted by lumpiness in SG&A
costs of ~Rs500 mn, even adjusting for this, EBITDA missed estimates by ~9%, as the company
struggled to explain the lack of corresponding overheads reduction of from Kyowa divestment.
LPC chose to match Rs13 bn exceptional gain from Kyowa divestment by impairing Rs15.8 bn
Gavis intangibles (Rs1.7 bn annual reduction in amortization) along with Rs4.1 bn DTA reversal.
Levothyroxine ramp and operating leverage critical to FY2021 EBITDA
The key question for investors is how to forecast FY2021 EBITDA in light of Rs4.5 bn EBITDA
(adjusted for Rs500 mn lumpy costs) in 3QFY20. However, we do see several levers to drive the
EBITDA growth in FY2021, including incremental US$15-20 mn quarterly sales addition from
levothyroxine (15% contracted share with incremental capacities from 4QFY20), which along
with potential US$10-15 mn reduction in Solosec losses, can add Rs5-6 bn in annualized
EBITDA in FY2021. We also see significant room for operating leverage, given expected low
teens revenue growth from ex-US markets in FY2021, and mid-single digit growth in fixed costs
(including R&D), with any meaningful cost reduction program adding to profitability in FY2021
and beyond. Launches of ProAir (1HFY21 re-affirmed), Fostair EU (2HFY21), Enbrel (FY2021),
Suprep (exclusivity in FY2022) and Spiriva (FY2023) should help drive further earnings growth.
Valuations now reasonable, though progress on compliance is key – ADD
In many ways, 3QFY21 was a trough quarter for LPC, though, admittedly, Street will only gain
confidence in the earnings ramp once there is evidence of either operating leverage (led by levo)
or cost cuts visible in EBITDA. We cut FY2021/22 EBITDA by 10% and 7% and EPS by 4-6%.
Valuations remain compelling with the stock trading at 9.5X FY2021 EV/EBITDA at the bottom
of the earnings cycle, with domestic franchise value accounting for bulk of the market cap. ADD.
Lupin (LPC) Pharmaceuticals
Quarter horribilis. On a like-for-like basis, excluding Kyowa, LPC’s revenues missed
estimates by 3%, and EBITDA missed estimates by 18% as SG&A costs remained
elevated, despite Kyowa de-consolidation. However, we see 3QFY20 performance as
reflective of a trough quarter, and heading into FY2021, we expect sharp earnings
recovery, led by operating leverage with 4QFY20 likely to provide visibility on operating
leverage post ramp-up in levothyroxine. ADD.

Robust growth in revenues offset by weakness in margins across key segments except oil palm
Revenues increased 23% yoy to Rs17.8 bn in 3QFY20, 6% above our estimate, driven by robust
growth in animal feeds and recovery in the vegetable oil segment, which was partly offset by a
surprising decline in the crop protection business. EBITDA was flat yoy and 14% below our
estimate at Rs1 bn, with margins declining 130 bps yoy to 5.6% amid rising input costs and
sharp 21-22% jump in employee costs and other expenses. EBIT declined 15% yoy to Rs635
mn, 19% below our estimate, due to a sharp increase in depreciation expense. Adjusted net
income was 12% below our estimate at Rs509 mn (EPS of Rs2.7); however, it jumped 25% yoy
led by (1) reduction in tax rate to 28.2% from 35% in 3QFY19 and (2) lower profits attributed
to minority interest. In 9MFY20, GAVL delivered a healthy 18% growth in revenues; however,
EBITDA and EBIT declined 5% and 18% respectively led by contraction in margins across all
segments except animal feeds. Adjusted net income increased 7% yoy to Rs2 bn (EPS of
Rs10.4), primarily attributed to the reduction in effective tax rate to 25.5%.
Ag-chem declined due to credit controls; healthy growth in animal feed and oil palm volumes
In 3QFY20 conference call, the management indicated—(1) GAVL undertook channel correction
measures in crop protection business to enhance recoveries from debtors, which led to a decline
in revenues contrary to strong growth delivered by other domestic ag-chem players in the Rabi
season, (2) animal feed volumes grew 8% yoy to 1 mn ton and fresh fruit bunch arrivals for oil
palm grew 16% yoy to 530 ktons in 9MFY20, (3) animal feed margins were impacted due to
lower share of aqua feed and internal transfer of ~35 ktons to GTFL at nil margins; excluding
captive sale, EBIT margins were still muted at 4% compared to 4.6-5.5% realized over the past
three quarters, (4) recent sharp rise in oil palm prices may augur well for the next year, as it may
moderate modestly in the season given likely curtailment of global supplies due to Indonesia’s
biodiesel policy, (5) a new backward integration plant is expected to commission by July 2020
and (6) seven crop protection products have been launched in 9MFY20.
Cut FY2020-22 EPS estimates by 2-5%; reiterate sell with a revised FV of Rs470
We cut our consolidated EPS estimates to Rs11.8 (-5%) in FY2020, Rs16.4 (-3%) in FY2021 and
Rs19.9 (-2%) in FY2022, factoring in (1) lower margins for key businesses, (2) higher revenues
for animal feed segment and (3) other minor changes. Our SoTP-based fair value increases to
Rs470 (from Rs450 earlier), as we roll-forward to FY2022 estimates.
Godrej Agrovet (GOAGRO) Fertilizers & Agricultural Chemicals
Weakness persists; reasons change. Godrej Agrovet’s results were below estimates
yet again in 3QFY20, led by weak margins across all segments except oil palm, which
recovered from a blip. GAVL’s valuations remain expensive at 34X on our FY2021 EPS
estimate, which is predicated on a normal environment across business segments—
something not seen over the past several quarters, while resulting in flattish earnings
since FY2017. We reiterate SELL and revise FV to Rs470 (Rs450 earlier) on rollover.

Key highlights from 3QFY20 results
Qoq moderation in margins offsets robust revenue growth in animal feed. Animal
feed revenue grew 32% yoy and 8% qoq reflecting 8% yoy growth in volumes to 350.3
ktons and sharp increase in realizations. EBIT increased 48% yoy but declined 19% qoq
to Rs350 mn, with margins moderating 113 bps qoq to 3.5% amid firm input costs.
Weak performance of crop protection contrary to competition. Crop protection (ex-
Astec) revenues declined 16% yoy and EBIT declined 15% yoy to Rs185 mn with margins
increasing modestly by 20 bps to 20.3%. GAVL’s performance is worrying in the context
of strong growth in revenues and robust improvement in margins delivered by other
domestic ag-chem players during the Rabi season.
Modest growth in Astec’s revenues and EBITDA. Astec’s revenues grew 5% yoy to
Rs1.25 bn and EBITDA increased modestly by 2% yoy to Rs248 mn; the company
attributed weak performance to (1) lower realizations amid higher inputs costs and
(2) deferral of export orders.
Recovery in vegetable oil segment. Oil palm revenues increased 24% yoy led by
(1) higher volumes and (2) realizations. EBIT increased 37% yoy to Rs436 mn, with
margins increasing 177 bps yoy and 722 bps qoq to 19.4%.
Sharp decline in dairy margins. Dairy business revenues increased by 3% yoy, although
the company reported an EBIT loss of Rs7 mn due to increase in procurement costs.
EBITDA loss for Godrej Tyson Foods. GTFL’s revenues increased 24% yoy; however,
the company reported an EBITDA loss of Rs94 mn due to an increase in the cost of live
birds.

Cash collections improve from residential sales; debt remains elevated
Brigade Enterprises reported strong cash collections of Rs7.4 bn (+32% yoy) aided by growth
across business verticals—(1) 31% yoy increase in residential sales, adequately backed by
(2) growth in hospitality (+21% yoy) and (3) leasing business (+23% yoy). Project execution
sustained with construction spend of Rs3.7 bn (-0.5% yoy) for the residential business, coupled
with capex for commercial and hotel business (Rs2 bn) and payment towards land (Rs310 mn)
that offset the benefit of cash collection with negative cash flows of Rs1.6 bn, resulting in
increase in net debt to Rs34.2 bn (Rs28 bn attributable) in 3QFY20.
Consolidated revenues for BRGD declined 20% yoy to Rs5.5 bn yielding an EBITDA of Rs1.6 bn
(-12% yoy) and PAT of Rs405 mn (-33% yoy). Earnings performance was impacted by lower
revenue recognition for the real estate business, even as the other two business verticals
continued to report strong earnings.
Strong sales momentum to help achieve sales target of 4 mn sq. ft in FY2020
On the operational front, BRGD reported sales of 1.1 mn sq. ft (+40% yoy) for a consideration
of Rs6 bn (+35% yoy) yielding an average realization of Rs5,578 per sq. ft. We highlight that
management has set itself a target of 4 mn sq. ft of sales in FY2020 and has achieved sales of
3.23 mn sq. ft (+60% yoy) till 9MFY20. Additionally, the company launched area of 0.92 mn
sq. ft at Brigade Cornerstone Utopia and Brigade El Dorado-Helio.
Real estate segment reported revenues of Rs3.8 bn (-30% yoy) with EBITDA of Rs803 mn (-
33% yoy) yielding reduced margins of 21% in 3QFY20.
Maintain BUY with revised fair value of Rs280/share
We maintain our BUY rating on Brigade with revised fair value of Rs280/share (from
Rs235/share earlier) as we roll forward to March 2022 (from March 2021) based valuation
target. Our fair value comprises (1) residential development at Rs12.1 bn, (2) operational and
under construction lease assets valued at Rs48 bn, (3) hotel portfolio of 1,638 keys valued at
Rs21 bn (Rs9 mn/key), and (4) land bank valued at Rs10.5 bn. Brigade is on a strong ramp-up
phase across business segments, having delivered well across parameters in FY2020E, and the
full benefit of the current growth likely to yield by FY2022E.
Brigade Enterprises (BRGD) Real Estate
Progressing well. Brigade continued with its strong performance in 3QFY20 reporting
a 40% yoy increase in sales volumes at 1.1 mn sq. ft (sales value of Rs6 bn) tracking
ahead of its target of 4 mn sq. ft sales for FY2020. Continued lease momentum with
new leases of 0.9 mn sq. ft in 3QFY20 combined with stabilization of hospitality
portfolio (PBT break-even) helped post a strong quarter. Maintain BUY rating with
revised fair value of Rs280/share (from Rs235/share earlier).

stages of implementation with a total project cost of Rs20.4 bn, against which capex of
Rs13 bn has already been incurred.
Hotels—moving up the stabilization curve
BRGD reported PBT of Rs4 mn an improvement from negative PBT of Rs98 mn reported in
2QFY20 led by increase in EBITDA margin to 32%. On aggregate basis, ARR for current
hotel portfolio improved 4% qoq to Rs 5,031 in 3QFY20 (Rs 4,834 in 2QFY20) while
occupancy improved from 63% in 2QFY20 to 64% in 3QFY20. We highlight that Four
Points by Sheraton (218 keys) in Kochi improved its occupancy to 35% within a year from its
date of commissioning in January 2019.
In addition, the company also expects to launch two more hotels, Grand Mercure, Gift City
(159 keys) and Ibis Styles, Mysore (151 keys), to be commissioned by 4QFY20 and 1QFY21,
respectively for which an incremental capex of Rs652 mn would be required.

Other highlights from the earnings call
Management highlighted that the company will continue to increase its presence in the
southern markets of Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai and will refrain from entering
MMR and NCR market. As per the company, Bengaluru market continues to grow on a
higher base and on an industry wide basis has seven quarters of unsold inventory.
On divestment of stake in hospitality portfolio, the company has finalized the valuation
with one of the PE players however it is yet to get through legal clauses for the
transaction to be consummated.
While the company had expectations of some demand simulation to be provided in the
affordable housing space, the company will continue to focus its strategy on affordable
housing with 30% of the upcoming launches. Also, the company sees very good market
in mid-income housing as well (Rs6-15 mm).
Contribution in sales for 3QFY20 is as follows—ongoing projects (62%), new launches
(25%) and completed inventory (13%).

3QFY20 results: Bulk drives growth as exim container flattens; margin sustains at ~60% levels
GPPV reported a healthy 4% yoy growth in volumes, all driven by scale-up in bulk (fertilizer)
volumes. Container volumes declined 8% yoy with gateway volumes growing a modest 1%
yoy. This mirrors the flattish yoy market on the west coast. Overall container realizations were
steady qoq, helping sustain ~60% EBITDA margin. Note that the same is a function of a price
increase taken in April 2019 and will get partly negated by higher depreciation once the rail-
front capex (reason for the price hike) reflects in higher depreciation expense. Metrics beyond
volumes are not comparable yoy on account of reversal of volumes rebates that happened in
3QFY19. PAT for the current quarter was boosted by GPPV restating its deferred tax liability as
per the change in the corporate tax rate. It would likely continue with the old tax rate for
FY2021 and utilize the remaining MAT credit; will shift to lower tax rate from FY2022.
Status quo on most other potential developments
On DFCC, the management shared expectation of partial commissioning till Gujarat by
December 2020. Here, PRCL is progressing well to integrate its offering with that of DFC. There
have been no further developments on the concession agreement and the management shared
the absence of red flags in discussions with GMB on this subject. Competitive intensity on the
west coast remains unchanged, helping GPPV sustain realization levels. The management also
shared the absence of pressure from shipping lines to lower realization on account of a lower
tax rate.
Lower FV to Rs118 from Rs124 on ~4% cut in estimates and higher CoE, net of roll forward
We lower our estimates for GPPV for FY2021/22 by ~4% on account of weakness in container
and roro volumes. Increase in FY2020E EPS is more a result of restatement of deferred tax
liability. Estimate revision leads to modest cut in fair value to Rs118 (from Rs124) with benefit of
roll-forward getting negated by higher cost of equity (14% versus 13.5% earlier. Higher cost of
equity is driven by two factors. (1) We note large reliance on the parent for business at 45%
share of container volumes versus 30-35% levels a year back (contribution at a revenue/EBITDA
level would be lower). (2) Global parent’s impetus towards decarbonisation may put at risk
GPPV ending its coal handling business (2-4% of overall volumes at present for GPPV).
Gujarat Pipavav Port (GPPV) Transportation
Mirroring market weakness. GPPV reported a weak container volume print (exim up
1% yoy) with strong performance on bulk volumes yielding a 4% beat versus our
estimates. GPPV maintained status quo on most other variables of relevance (DFC
commissioning by Dec-20, no movement on decision to extend concession, static
competitive intensity). We lower our fair value to Rs118 from Rs124 on account of
weak container volumes and higher cost of equity, net of roll-forward.

Passenger vehicles: lackluster launches by Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai India
Maruti launched the petrol version of BS-VI compliant Brezza in the Auto Expo equipped with a
1.5-litre petrol engine. The new Vitara Brezza comes with a revamped front fascia. Vitara Brezza
facelift gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, driver and co-driver seat belt reminder, rear
parking assist, high-speed warning alert and reverse parking sensors as standard across all
variants. Hyundai also unveiled the second-generation Creta, with different powertrain options
of 1.4 turbo petrol engine, 1.5 litre petrol and diesel engines. The second generation Creta is
expected to be priced under Rs1 mn and is expected to launch by March 2020. Apart from
these models, none of the launches by the top-two players in the domestic market were
exciting. Tata Motors (HBX concept, Gravitas and Aura) and MG Motors (Hector Plus, RC6
Sedan, MG3 premium hatch) showcased a variety of products across segments in Auto Expo.
Competitive intensity to increase in the SUV segment
Compact SUV segment has been consistently outperforming the passenger vehicle over the past
few years. As a result, most of the OEMs are focusing on these segments, which can be seen in
the line-up of Auto Expo 2020. Kia Motors (Seltos X-Trail), MG Motors (Hector plus, HS
compact Crossover), Tata Motors (HBX, Gravitas), Volkswagen (Taigun), Skoda (Karoq) and
Haval (F5) were some of the models unveiled by major OEMs in the SUV segment during Auto
Expo 2020. We believe, this could be a major threat for Maruti Suzuki going forward.
Focus on EVs takes a front seat in both PV and two-wheeler segment
As the global automobile industry is moving towards green mobility, most of the PV OEMs
showcased a bunch of electric and hybrid vehicles during Auto Expo 2020. Maruti Suzuki
showcased Futuro E concept and Swift Hybrid, whereas Tata Motors unveiled Altroz EV.
Mahindra also showcased eXUV300 (will be launched in 2HCY20E) and eKUV100 (most
affordable EV at a price of Rs0.83 mn) during the expo. MG Motors, Kia Motors and Hyundai
also showcased electric vehicles at the expo. Also, in the two-wheeler space, EV theme
continued to dominate. Piaggio unveiled its first electric scooter Vespa Electtrica during the
expo. Also, Hero Electric, Okinawa, Eeve, Bird Electric, Devot Motors and Evolet showcased their
electric portfolio in the expo. However, launches in the traditional two-wheeler space remained
lack luster with only Suzuki Motorcycle and Piaggio showcasing their portfolio in the expo.
Maruti Suzuki needs to fill product gaps in the compact SUV segment
Maruti Suzuki has lost around 1,500 bps market share yoy in the compact SUV segment in
9MFY20. With only one launch in the compact SUV segment by Maruti and competition
becoming more aggressive in this segment, we believe Maruti Suzuki needs to address product
gaps in the compact SUV segment to regain its lost market share.
Automobiles & Components India
Auto Expo 2020: focus on green mobility and SUVs. Overall there were very few
exciting new model launches in 2020 except in the SUV and EV segment. OEMs also
showcased electric vehicle concepts. Key highlights: (1) Maruti launched its BS-VI Brezza
petrol while Hyundai launched second-generation Creta, (2) Tata Motors, MG Motors,
Kia Motors and Haval showcased a few SUV models, (3) M&M, Maruti Suzuki, Tata
Motors and MG Motors unveiled their electric portfolio and (4) launches in 2W were
directed towards electric mobility space and overall lack-luster launches in the
traditional 2W space.

Emami: Quality asset in East but partially short of clinker
Emami has a total grinding capacity of 8.3 mtpa spread across Bihar (1.3 mtpa), Odisha (2.5
mtpa), Chattisgarh (2.5 mtpa) and West Bengal (2 mtpa). It commissioned its first integrated
unit in Risda, Chattisgarh with a clinker unit of 3.2 mn tons in Dec 2016 backed by limestone
leases expiring in 2059. The company also has mining leases in Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.
With availability of fly ash and slag, Emami has high blending ratio with only 20% of OPC
cement sales. At cement clinker ratio of 1.8X, we calculate integrated capacity at 5.6 mtpa and
2.7 mtpa as surplus grinding capacity. Further, we understand that Emami has applied for EC
clearance for brownfield expansion of 3 mtpa clinker and 2.7 mtpa grinding capacity. The
company has the potential to become a 11 mtpa integrated cement company in 2-3 years.
Acquisition at US$120/ton EV is pricey but valuation in line with past deals in sector
The binding agreement for Rs55bn implies an EV of US$120/ton for the integrated 5.6 mtpa
capacity adjusting for the surplus grinding capacity as US$35/ton. The current profitability
suggests a 6% ROCE and would require a 10% price hike in the region to justify a 12% ROCE.
East is the fastest growing market in the country with demand growing at 1.5X industry.
However, a 9% CAGR capacity addition in next three years keeps utilization stable and would
restrict pricing strength. Brownfield expansion should be value accretive however, given high
leverage at Nuvoco (net debt/EBITDA 2.7X in 1HFY20), it might be some time away.
Dalmia – Attractive proxy to play the East consolidation
In the absence of a sizeable pure East play, we see Dalmia Bharat as an attractive proxy with
60% of capacity and ~70% of sales in the East market in FY2021E. The company offers strong
growth visibility with 8 mtpa or 30% addition to capacity over FY2021-22E. Dalmia Bharat is
trading at attractive 7X EV/EBITDA FY2022E or US$64/ton EV, 25% lower than the past five
year average. We have an ADD rating with a fair value of Rs1,050/share.
Construction Materials India
Nuvoco – Enters the top league in East. The Nirma group has emerged victorious in
yet another sizeable M&A battle with a bidding agreement for Emami’s 8.3 mtpa for
Rs55bn. The acquisition at US$120/ton adjusting for surplus grinding is pricey given the
subdued profitability in the East, however in line with past deals in the sector. Nirma
group post acquisition displaces Holcim in the top three club of East and joins Dalmia
and Ultratech. Incumbents would welcome the consolidation in the region as it could
improve pricing discipline in an otherwise fragmented market. Dalmia with strong
growth visibility is an attractive proxy to play the improving East region dynamics.

A longer rope
Extension of DCCO for bank in commercial real estate loans. RBI has decided to permit
extension of date of commencement of commercial operations (DCCO) of project loans for
commercial real estate for delays for reasons beyond the control of promoters, by another
one year without downgrading the asset classification, in line with treatment accorded to
other project loans for the non-infrastructure sector. Detailed instructions are awaited. The
DCCO norms are applicable to banks but we would expect a similar set of relaxations for
HFCs and NBFCs.
A longer rope for stressed developers. We believe that the RBI’s above measure would
provide a longer rope to the real estate sector to complete unfinished projects, in turn
supporting recoveries on real estate loans as well. This should be used as an opportunity by
developers to accelerate project completion and monetize projects, which could in turn
improve recoveries for the lenders. A longer rope however also poses risk of increase in
hoarding and speculation, which, the lenders would need to monitor and control. The
current regulations allow banks to push the DCCO by one year; the above provision will add
one more year to the same. A project stuck for approvals, liquidity or with sluggish sales
poses risk of delinquency post completion of moratorium. An NPL classification by one bank
may have cascading effects. As such, managing liquidity becomes the primary focus of the
developer over acceleration of project completion. The likely aim of the provision is to help
developers focus on the latter.
Debt market may retain cautious stance on select real estate heavy non-banks. We
however believe debt markets will continue to remain cautious on select wholesale-focused
NBFCs after this move. Debt markets has been concerned about the asset quality of the real
estate lending book of NBFCs that reflects low NPLs despite high loan growth in the past
four years, sluggish real estate sales and stuck projects (Exhibit 1). A large proportion of
projects are stuck in moratorium and hence the true asset quality picture is not yet visible.
With increase in the moratorium period for banks (and likely similar set of regulations for
non-banks), the true picture of the quality of book will take longer to emerge. Till this period,
we expect debt market players to remain cautious towards these lenders. On the other hand,
select real estate –focused NBFCs are working on shrinking their loan books, improving
capitalization, liquidity and re-calibrating their business models. These are some of the steps
that may provide comfort to the regulator and other stakeholders, even as the overhang of
the real estate loan book remains.
Diversified Financials India
Two sides of the coin. We believe that the RBI’s decision to permit extension in DCCO
for commercial real estate projects will provide a longer rope to stressed developers and
lenders alike. However, the focus should be on completion and monetization of
projects. Debt markets may however take longer to get comfort on the inherent asset
quality of weak real-estate heavy NBFCs and may remain focused on select larger ones.
This (debt market) consolidation has led to a sharp decline in the funding cost for large
HFCs which will help alleviate concerns on NIM of HFCs, even if RBI norms get tighter.
This will be further augmented by LTROs. HDFC remains our preferred pick in HFCs.

Concerns of competition in retail loans
RBI will review the extant regulatory framework applicable to HFCs and issue revised
regulations, since the sector is now under the purview of the RBI.
RBI has been keen on effective monitory transmission by banks and hence has introduced
base rate, MCLR and recently external-benchmark linked loan pricing for retail loans. HFCs
continue with PLRs and to some extent have differential pricing between new and old
borrowers.
The Street has expressed concerns on RBI nudging to reduce this gap, which could affect
HFC’s NIMs. HFCs have argued that a part of their funding carries fixed rates, banks
borrowings are linked to 1-year MCLR (and not re-priced immediately) and hence there is
some delay in transmitting lower rates to existing borrowings. A market-linked lending
benchmark will nudge HFCs for increasing shorter/market borrowings, exposing them to
vagaries in the bond markets.
The cost of funding for large HFCs like HDFC and LICHF has declined significantly (Exhibits 2
and 3), reflecting consolidation in debt markets. These HFCs are hence competing effectively
with frontline private banks. Introduction of LTRO (explained below) will further bring down
cost of funding for these select non-banks.
Banks – incremental regulations are less likely to spur demand in the near-term
Long term repo operations to reduce the cost of borrowing for borrowers. The RBI
announced 1-year and 3-year tenor LTROs of up to Rs1 tn at the repo rate. While the
details are awaited, prima facie, it provides an arbitrage opportunity for banks to borrow
for 1-year/3-year at the repo rate and invest in higher yielding assets such as GSec,
corporate bonds or forwards. While this may not immediately lead to higher credit
growth, it would reduce the short term borrowing costs for commercial and financial
sector. We would wait to see its impact though a reduction in interest rates helps if
transmission is efficient.
Relaxation of CRR requirements for incremental retail and MSME loans. The RBI
announced that banks will be allowed to deduct the equivalent of incremental credit
disbursed by them as retail loans for automobiles, residential housing and loans to
MSMEs for loans originated between January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2020, from their net
demand and time liabilities for maintenance of cash reserve ratio (CRR). We are less
optimistic on the impact, as the reduction in interest rates is unlikely to be meaningful. It
is useful, at the margin, to have lower interest rates but it is one of the many factors to
take loan and buy a product.
External benchmarking of new floating loans to MSME. The external benchmarking
of floating rate loans has been extended to medium enterprises. This, in our view, was
expected considering that RBI had already introduced it for retail loans and micro and
small enterprises. The near term impact should not be too high given that demand for
credit is quite low. We have highlighted the risk of this product in our earlier notes as
well. In the short term, we expect deposit rates to fall for banks while repo rates to hold
at current levels, which implies negligible near term impact, if any.
Extension of one-time restructuring for MSME by a year. The one-time restructuring
scheme for loans to stressed MSMEs was available to MSMEs that were in default but
‘standard’ as on January 1, 2019 with March 31, 2020 as the cut-off date for
implementation. This has now been extended to standard accounts of GST registered
MSMEs that were in default as on January 1, 2020, with a cut-off date of December 31,
2020. The scheme has so far not seen the same level of acceptance as loans that were
restructured in the past given the eventual negative experiences then. We have seen that
banks have offered this product to customers but the level of restructuring is far lower.

Extension of DCCO for commercial real estate. The direct impact for banks is likely to
be negligible as very few banks have direct exposure to commercial real estate. We
expect this to be positive for banks like Yes Bank.

Status quo on repo rate and policy stance
The MPC unanimously kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.15% and stance at ‘accommodative’.
As part of the Developmental and Regulatory Policies, certain bold decisions are of note: (1)
revised liquidity management framework including Long Term Repo Operations (LTRO), and
withdrawal of overnight fixed rate repo and four 14-day term repos every fortnight, (2) CRR
relaxation linked to incremental bank lending to autos, residential housing, and MSMEs, (3)
permit extension of date of commencement of commercial operations of commercial real estate
project loans, delayed for reasons beyond the control of promoters, by another one year
without downgrading asset classification, and (4) extension of one-time restructuring benefit for
MSMEs without an asset classification downgrade.
LTROs and visibility of adequate liquidity provides scope for lower market rates
Along with the revised liquidity management framework (details on next page), the RBI
announced 1-year and 3-year tenor LTROs of Rs1 tn at repo rate. While the details are awaited,
prima facie, it provides an arbitrage opportunity for banks to borrow for 1-year/3-year at the
repo rate and invest in higher yielding assets such as GSec and corporate bonds. While this may
not immediately lead to higher credit growth, it would reduce the short term borrowing costs
for the commercial and financial sector. To provide impetus to credit to select sectors, RBI has
allowed banks to reduce their NDTL for CRR maintenance to the extent of their incremental
retail loans (between January 31 and July 31, 2020) to automobiles, housing and MSMEs. We
expect these measures to aid transmission in lending rates eventually.
RBI MPC revised FY2021 inflation estimate higher, growth estimate marginally lower
The MPC expects food inflation to moderate in the near term but highlighted risks to core
inflation through higher mobile tariff, medicine price increases, and impact of new emission
norms. It revised up its inflation estimates with 4QFY20 CPI inflation at 6.5% (Kotak: 6.6%) and
1HFY21 inflation at 5.4-5.0% (4.0-3.8% earlier) and 3QFY21 inflation at 3.2%, with risks
evenly balanced (same as earlier). The MPC observed that the economy remains weak and the
output gap remains negative. The outlook would be shaped by the impulses from FY2021
budget, agriculture sector, and risks to global growth and trade. The MPC estimates 1HFY21
growth at 5.5-6% (5.9-6.3% earlier), 6.2% in 3QFY21, and 6% for FY2021 (Kotak: 5.5%).
Expect repo rate on hold in near term
Despite weak growth momentum, we maintain our call of a pause in rates in the near term
given that (1) favorable inflation prints (closer to 4%), if any, will be visible only in 3QFY21, and
(2) inflation expectations will be on the higher side given its adaptive nature. Given our GDP
and inflation estimates over the medium term, space for lower rates still remain but a strict
adherence to the inflation targeting framework will restrict an action immediately. However,
status quo on policy rate will, to some extent, be compensated by the liquidity announcements
and comfortable liquidity conditions leading to lower market interest rates.
Economy Monetary Policy
RBI policy: Transmission takes center stage. An expected status quo in repo rate was
offset by unexpected positive liquidity measures. The introduction of LTROs and
assurance to remain accommodative will be positive for short term rates; creating
greater chances of better transmission. With inflation remaining well above the 4%
mark till 1HFY21, we see limited scope for a rate cut in the near term. Liquidity will
continue to shape market rates which will be beneficial for financial/commercial sector.

Revised liquidity management framework (as outlined in the RBI’s Statement on
Developmental and Regulatory Policies)
Following the Internal Working Group’s report on the liquidity management the RBI set out
the key elements of the revised framework as follows (emphasis is added by us):
Liquidity management is the operating procedure of monetary policy; the weighted
average call rate (WACR) will continue to be its operating target.
The liquidity management corridor is retained, with the marginal standing facility (MSF)
rate as its upper bound (ceiling) and the fixed rate reverse repo rate as the lower bound
(floor), with the policy repo rate in the middle of the corridor.
The width of the corridor remains unchanged at 50 basis points – the reverse repo
rate being 25 basis points below the repo rate and the MSF rate 25 basis points above
the repo rate.
With the WACR being the single operating target, the need for specifying a one-sided
target for liquidity provision of one percent of net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) does
not arise. Accordingly, the daily fixed rate repo and four 14-day term repos every
fortnight being conducted, at present, are being withdrawn. However, the Reserve
Bank will ensure adequate provision/absorption of liquidity as warranted by underlying
and evolving market conditions - unrestricted by quantitative ceilings - at or around the
policy rate.
Instruments of liquidity management will include fixed and variable rate
repo/reverse repo auctions, outright open market operations (OMOs), forex swaps
and other instruments as may be deployed from time to time to ensure that the system
has adequate liquidity at all times.
A 14-day term repo/reverse repo operation at a variable rate and conducted to
coincide with the cash reserve ratio (CRR) maintenance cycle would be the main
liquidity management tool for managing frictional liquidity requirements.
The main liquidity operation would be supported by fine-tuning operations, overnight
and/or longer, to tide over any unanticipated liquidity changes during the reserve
maintenance period.
In addition, the Reserve Bank will conduct, if needed, longer-term variable rate
repo/reverse repo operations of more than 14 days.
The current requirement of maintaining a minimum of 90 per cent of the
prescribed CRR on a daily basis will continue.
Standalone Primary Dealers (SPDs) would be allowed to participate directly in all overnight
liquidity management operations.
The margin requirements under the Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) would be reviewed
on a periodic basis; the margin requirement for reverse repo transactions, however,
would continue to be ‘Nil’.
In order to improve communication on the Reserve Bank’s liquidity management
framework and procedures, the following measures are being introduced (1) the Press
Release detailing Money Market Operations (MMO) would be modified suitably to show
both the daily flow impact as well as the stock impact of the Reserve Bank’s liquidity
operations; (2) a quantitative assessment of durable liquidity conditions of the banking
system on a fortnightly basis would be published with a lag of one fortnight; and (3)
periodic consultations will be conducted with market participants and other stakeholders.
