Dispatch growth improves 8% yoy in March 2019; YTD growth at 4.8%, ahead of estimate

Coal India reported volume growth of 8% yoy in dispatches at 59.6 mn tons in March 2019 on

the back of strong performance across its subsidiaries. The performance is a marked improved

over the weak dispatch numbers in the preceding months. We highlight CIL reported decline of

2.4% yoy in January 2019 and growth of 3% yoy in February 2019. Dispatch numbers for

4QFY19 now stand at 163.5 mn tons (+2.9% yoy) taking the overall growth to 4.8% yoy in

FY2019, beating our volume growth estimate of 4% for the year. Production for the month

remained equally robust at 79.2 mn tons, an increase of 9.6% yoy in volumes in March 2019

(194.4 mn tons in 4QFY19).

Among subsidiaries, WCL and ECL showed the highest dispatch growth of 15.5% yoy and

13.7% yoy, respectively followed by CCL at 13% yoy. On the production front, all but one

subsidiaries reported positive volume growth numbers with SECL reporting the highest growth

of 22.2% yoy followed by WCL at 14.5% in March 2019.

Decline in premium with softening of imported coal prices, no plants with critical inventory

E-auction premium declined to 84% in February 2019 from 104% in January 2019. Premiums

are still well above those seen in FY2018, however, have started to show downward trajectory

with decline in the prices of imported coal. We note that e-auction sales were down 33% yoy in

9MFY19, although overall e-auction revenues were growing by 0.5% yoy on the back of 50%

yoy growth in e-auction realizations. Coal inventory across plants in India improved to an

impressive 18 days with no plant having critical/supercritical levels of inventory in the country.

Improved pricing and attractive valuations, maintain BUY

Coal India has had a much improved year with 9MFY19 delivering 100% yoy growth in

earnings on the back of 18% yoy growth in revenue. The continued divestment by the

government has made for valuations to be incrementally attractive at 9X P/E and 5.9X

EV/EBITDA on adjusted earnings coupled with 10.7% dividend yield on FY2020E earnings.

Maintain BUY with an unchanged fair value of Rs290/share.

Coal India (COAL) Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels

Back on track. Coal India reported 8% yoy growth in dispatches, an improvement over

the declining volumes in preceding months supported by an equally strong production

growth of 9.6% yoy in March 2019. E-auction premiums declined to 84% in February

2019. Inventory across plants improved during the month with no plant reporting

critical inventory of coal. Maintain BUY rating with fair value of Rs290 on improved

earnings trajectory and attractive valuations (9X P/E on FY2020E adjusted earnings).

Dmart versus competitors: price competition on the rise

Analysis of prices of food and FMCG products retailed by Dmart Ready and its online

competitors reveals that price differential of Dmart versus others is steadily coming down. In

October 2018, Dmart had the lowest priced product in 21 of 30 products we tracked, while in

March 2019 this count shrank to 12 of the same 30 products. Further, competition seems to be

fairly broad-based: Flipkart, Easyday and Amazon are aggressive in the food and grocery

segment, while BigBasket is aggressive in the HPC segment.

Private label category expansion: strategy to protect margins

Dmart has traditionally had a strong private label offering in the food+grocery and home

furnishing segment. It has now introduced its ‘Reflect’ brand of kitchen cleaning products,

highlighted prominently as newly launched products within stores, and priced 30-50% cheaper

than the competing brand. We believe more such products may be in the pipeline, though

wresting meaningful share from more established FMCG brands will take a long time.

Dmart Ready: expanded to 150 outlets in Mumbai

Dmart now has 150+ Dmart Ready pick-up points (PUPs) in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane

areas, up from 75 PUPs a year back. These stores geographically cover almost all regions from

Mumbai, though Dmart may continue to make this network more dense. Further, instead of

acting as only PUPs, these stores have begun selling small-ticket kitchenware items. We believe

the company will continue to expand the ‘Ready’ offering, though we expect a more big-bang

expansion only once the business model stabilizes in Mumbai.

High competitive intensity may keep margins capped

We believe the Street’s margin improvement expectation may not be met as Dmart will remain

focused on boosting sales and will pass on most margin benefits (pricing benefits from

suppliers) to customers in its bid to retain its position of being the lowest price retailer. We think

positives of business model such as low price and localized offering are in the stock price,

though negatives in the form of increasing competition from online players is not. Roll-forward

leads to a new fair value of Rs945 (Rs915 earlier). Reiterate SELL.

Avenue Supermarts (DMART) Retailing

Price competition on the rise. Competition from well-funded online players in the

grocery space seems to be on the rise, resulting in some dilution of Dmart’s lowest

product price proposition. We believe Dmart will continue to focus on revenue growth

(via both offline and online channels), though future margin expansion may be tepid,

higher private label focus notwithstanding. Roll-forward leads to a revised DCF-based

fair value of Rs945 (Rs915 earlier). SELL stays.

Retail price comparison: competition from online players on the rise

Dmart till mid of last year was the lowest price retailer of a basket of 30 standard

consumption items we tracked. However, this began changing in 2HCY18 as Amazon

aggressively expanded its Amazon Pantry offering. Flipkart has jumped into the fray (even

selling a few staples at Rs1/kg), while BigBasket is steadily becoming more price aggressive.

We concede that some of the offers shown below may be promotional in nature and may be

taken off/toned down going forward. Directionally, however, we reckon competitive intensity

is unlikely to reduce. Flipkart and Amazon have stated their ambitions to ramp up their grocery

offering, and we expect them to allocate greater capital to this vertical going forward.

New private label ‘Reflect’ in the cleaning products category

brands Price comparison of Dmart's Reflect brand with Vim and Pril

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities

Dmart’s peers in the grocery retail space have private labels in various categories. Most of

these categories are in the dry grocery space (kitchen staples such as flour, pulses, oils, etc.),

where large FMCG companies have a relatively limited presence. Amazon has already

introduced products such as cleaners and air fresheners under its Presto brand. We haven’t

observed significant changes to sale of these private label products post the e-commerce

regulations in December 2018. For instance, Cloudtail continues to sell these products on

Amazon’s India portal and we reckon will launch more brands in related categories in the

future.

Dmart Ready: 150+ store footprint in Mumbai; e-commerce companies have a

much wider pan-India network

Dmart Ready store network is now at 150+, compared to 75 stores as of March 2019. These

stores operate independent of the large stores, and have until now mostly acted as PUPs. Of

late, Dmart has started retailing small kitchen items (non-perishables) from these stores as

well. Our rough-cut estimate suggests that these stores may account for ~1% of Dmart’s

overall revenue in FY2019. This figure is small currently, but has the potential to increase as

more shoppers take to online shopping, and Dmart Ready expands to more cities.

Exhibit 4: Dmart’s PUP network is attempting to cover most regions of Mumbai Distribution of PUP network within Mumbai

We note that other online competitors are investing aggressively in the grocery business

given the large target segment size, high proportion of grocery in the Indian consumption

basket as well as relatively unorganized nature of the market.

As a result, these companies have expanded operations to several major cities in India,

compared to Dmart which has its online venture limited to only Mumbai/Thane. We

acknowledge that Dmart’s core customer base is loyal and possibly less amenable to online

shopping, but high incentives and discounts doled out by competitors may change this over

a period of time. Dmart is certain to compete, and we believe it will expand its Ready

offering much wider over the medium term. Price competition from well-funded competitors

may continue, particularly as most of these are well-funded: Amazon and Flipkart enjoy the

backing of their parent companies, BigBasket and Grofers have recently raised US$150 mn

and US$60 mn, respectively.

Exhibit 5: E-commerce companies have a much wider reach Number of cities covered by various grocery retailers as of March 31, 2019

Source: Companies, company websites, Kotak Institutional Equities

We reckon that Dmart will compete aggressively with e-commerce companies in the grocery

space in a bid to maintain its price leadership proposition and thus customers’ wallet share.

Consequently, it may pass on scale benefits to consumers, resulting in stagnant margins.

Per SEBI regulations, Dmart’s promoter group will need to reduce its stake down to 75%

from the current 81.2%. This will happen within the next one year (Dmart has already

completed two years since listing).

PV OEMs report single digit decline amid high dealer inventory levels in March 2019

As per our estimate, PV industry will likely post single-digit volume decline yoy in March 2019

due to high dealer inventory levels and weak retail demand. Maruti’s overall volumes declined

by 2% yoy to 158,076 units in March 2019 led by (1) 1% yoy decline in domestic volumes and

(2) 13% yoy decline in exports. Entry and compact hatchback/sedan car segment volumes

declined by 7% yoy in March 2019. Ciaz volumes declined by 15% yoy, SUV volumes were up

12% yoy possibly aided by new Ertiga and van segment volumes growing 20% yoy. In terms of

other OEMs, Honda’s domestic volumes grew 27% yoy aided by attractive year-end offers and

launch of the company’s best seller Civic and CR-V and Toyota’s PV volumes increased by 2%

yoy. Tata Motors’ domestic PV volumes declined by 12% yoy in March 2019.

M&M’s auto volumes grew by 1% yoy; tractor volumes declined by 31% yoy in March 2019

Mahindra reported 1% yoy volume growth in the automotive segment, which was driven by 5-

15% yoy growth in three-wheeler and export volumes. CV segment volumes declined by 4%

led by (1) 33% decline in MHCV volumes and (2) 3% decline in LCV volumes. Passenger vehicle

segment grew by 4% yoy led by 5% yoy growth in UV segment due to good response for XUV

300 model. M&M’s overall tractor volumes declined by 31% yoy led by (1) 32% yoy decline in

domestic volumes and (2) 6% yoy decline in export volumes. Tractor volumes were hit due to

postponement of festive season to April 2019 and lower Rabi sowing than expected. Escorts

reported 1% yoy growth in tractor volumes led by strong growth export volumes, which was

partially offset by 1% decline in domestic volumes.

MHCV industry volumes remain under pressure in March 2019

Tata Motors reported 4% yoy growth in domestic CV volumes led by 1) 17% yoy growth in

I&LCV truck sales and 2) 11% growth in SCV cargo and pick-up trucks. However, domestic

M&HCV truck volumes declined by 4% yoy due to low consumer sentiment amid slowing

economy and postponement of purchases due to elections. However, the tipper segment

continued to grow (+12% yoy) strongly and was relatively unaffected on the back of road

construction, affordable housing, irrigation projects and government spending on infrastructure

projects. VECV’s volumes declined by 8% yoy led by 8% yoy decline in domestic volumes while

exports declined by 4% yoy. Ashok Leyland also reported a 4% yoy decline led by 6% yoy

decline in MHCV volumes.

Hero Motocorp and Royal Enfield volumes down 20% yoy in March 2019

Higher inventory weighed on two-wheeler volumes in March 2019. Hero Motocorp’s volumes

declined by 20% yoy in March 2019. Royal Enfield’s volumes declined by 20% yoy led by 21%

yoy decline in domestic volumes. TVS Motors reported flattish volume growth led by 1) 5%

growth in motorcycle volumes and 2) 33% yoy growth in three- wheeler volumes, which was

offset by 1) 2.5% yoy decline in scooter volumes and 2) 11% yoy decline in moped volumes.

Automobiles & Components India

High inventory weighs on auto industry sales performance. Retail demand in auto

industry continues to remain under pressure as OEMs corrected dealer inventory levels

in March 2019, which led to weakness in volumes across segments. PV industry likely to

post single-digit volume decline on yoy basis in March 2019 while two-wheeler industry

volumes declined yoy led by Hero Motocorp and Royal Enfield. MHCV volume growth

also remained under pressure indicating spillover of the liquidity crisis.

Bharti – stable India wireless, pressure elsewhere

At a consolidated level, we expect Bharti to report a topline of Rs202 bn for 4QFY19E, down

1.5% qoq and up 3% yoy. We expect consolidated EBITDA to decline 2.5% qoq and 13% yoy

to Rs60.6 bn despite expected qoq stability in India wireless EBITDA. We bake in a sharp 80%

yoy decline in EBIT to Rs4 bn (sub-2% RoCE on 4Q-annualized EBIT) and a PAT loss of Rs12 bn.

Our numbers do not bake in any forex losses or gains.

India wireless – we expect a modest 1% sequential uptick in revenues to Rs102.9 bn.

Underlying assumption of stable qoq revenues in the mobile broadband (MBB) segment and

marginal uptick in revenues from 2G subs, led by full-quarter impact of the ‘minimum recharge

construct’. Reported ARPU will likely see a sharp 14% qoq uptick to Rs120/sub/month, largely

optical on account of the sharp subs base clean-up done in Dec 2018. We note that Bharti had

indicated an exit ARPU of Rs118 for 3QFY19. We expect India wireless EBITDA of Rs20.1 bn,

broadly stable versus the Rs19.5 bn print for 3QFY19. We bake in modest uptick in voice

volumes and 20% qoq growth in data volumes.

Other businesses – we expect sequential decline in EBITDA in all non-India-wireless businesses.

Africa EBITDA decline (in INR terms) would primarily be on account of INR appreciation while

sequential decline in other businesses reflects segment-specific issues like ARPU pressure in

home broadband and high base in the enterprise segment.

Bharti Infratel – expect rental/tenant surge to continue and robust net tenancy adds

We forecast a 4.3% and 11.7% sequential growth in overall revenues and EBITDA to Rs37.4 bn

and Rs16.2 bn, respectively. We note that our revenue and EBITDA numbers do not include the

expected Rs900 mn exit penalties; we treat this as an extraordinary. On a reported basis, this

would mean revenue and EBITDA expectation of Rs38.3 bn and Rs17.1 bn, respectively. From

an operational standpoint, we bake in (a) net sequential tenancy additions of 6,009, and (b)

2.7% qoq and 15.1% yoy jump in rental/tenant to Rs40,034/month. Our PAT estimate

(including exit penalty) stands at Rs8 bn. Our 12% sequential EBITDA growth assumption

breaks down into a 7% qoq growth in core service EBITDA (excluding exit penalty) and a sharp

60% qoq jump in energy EBITDA. We note that 4Q is a seasonally strong quarter for energy

EBITDA. Our energy EBITDA estimate implies a yoy growth of 25%.

TCOM – another quarter of slow progress on key internals

We expect consolidated revenues and EBITDA of Rs39.8 bn (+1.5% qoq, down 1% yoy) and

Rs6.5 bn (+2.7% qoq, +17% yoy), respectively. We bake in voice segment EBITDA of Rs585 mn

and data segment EBITDA of Rs5.91 bn for the quarter. Our forecast of 6% sequential growth

in data segment EBITDA primarily flows from expectation of sharp positive swing in growth

services EBITDA and stability in other data sub-segments. Commentary on growth services

EBITDA prognosis for FY2020E and deal wins in innovation services would be key to watch.

Telecommunication Services India

4QFY19E preview. We expect Bharti to report flattish sequential India wireless EBITDA

for 4QFY19E; we note Bharti’s India wireless EBITDA has declined sequentially for 10

straight quarters since 1QFY17 and to that extent, stability would be a minor inflection.

We expect a strong sequential EBITDA uptick for Bharti Infratel assuming the recent

inexplicable rental/tenant surge continues. TCOM is likely to report another quarter of

slow progress on key internals – traditional data EBITDA growth and EBITDA breakeven

in the growth services segment. We are compliance-restricted on Vodafone-Idea.

Pricing of DFC a function of several variables, key being whether IR will cede control to DFCCIL

Our analysis of DFC’s cost economics suggests possibility of Indian Railways (IR) taking a price

cut to support initial utilization levels of DFC. The imponderables over here would be (1) ability

of IR to use the freed up space on the existing corridor for passenger travel, (2) ability to absorb

initial losses from DFC and (3) internal targets on minimum capacity utilization of DFC. The

passing of autonomy of pricing to the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL),

if it were to happen, would increase the probability of such price discount. This is based on

DFCCIL’s assessment of the origin-destination profile of cargo.

Pricing change unlikely to happen by the time the stretch till Gujarat gets ready (Dec 2019)

Our recent discussion with DFCCIL suggests limited preparedness of the DFC from a business

perspective (pricing, logistics parks, and industrial sectors). Progress here has not kept pace with

that of the development of infrastructure (track laying, electrification, feeder routes and

stations). For the Rewari-Palanpur stretch (to be functional by Dec 2019), DFCCIL expects the

uptick in utilization to be constrained because of lack of business support. This is what makes

DFCCIL cautious on the utilization levels that will get achieved over the first few years of the

commissioning of the western DFC, a critical period given the 9X addition to capacity

happening to the related existing rail corridor. DFCCIL has had limited play in business decisions

in the past, neither are there any incentives in its concession agreement to have higher volumes.

Recently, it has received approval to invest in logistics parks. DFCCIL recently came close to

being given the autonomy of pricing from Indian Railways, only for the decision to be deferred

closer to the commissioning of the full western DFC.

Concor to weigh benefits of operating leverage to lead price action for the sector

Openness of DFCCIL to price discounts is a positive for rail CTOs, if and when IR considers

ceding autonomy of pricing. CTOs have some operating leverage gains to make (fixed cost at

10% of sales) from DFC and such price discount would make it an easier choice to use the

pricing lever. Past origin-destination study of exim container cargo along the north-to-west exim

freight corridor suggests a minority share of rail operators in the 700+ km distance journey

indicating good scope for gaining share by IR. Given the state of the competition for rail

transportation, Concor would have to take the lead on pricing action.

DFCCIL to help weed out connectivity issues for large CTOs; raise Concor’s fair value to Rs515

In our recent meeting, DFCCIL highlighted investment in a six-km link near Ateli (entry point for

Concor on DFC) for enabling faster movement of cargo. At present, Concor would have to

move from Khatuwas to Ateli (old IR station), reverse the locomotive and then join DFC at Ateli

(new DFC station). We note good competitive positioning of Concor to benefit from DFC;

increase our fair value as we increase our medium-term margin assumptions by 200 bps.

Transportation India

DFC shares prospects of price discount, though not over the near term. Limited

preparedness on the business front may delay the gains for DFC as the infrastructure

gets ready. There may be a silver lining for rail CTOs given the possibility of price

discount being offered; may not happen in time for the commissioning of the Rewari-

Palanpur stretch. Given the state of competition, Concor would lead on price action.

Having built in material scale-up in Concor’s exim volume (3X FY2020-26E), we increase

our medium-term margin assumptions. Fair value increases to Rs515 after roll-forward.

February GST collections at Rs1,066 bn

Based on the monthly PIB release, GST collection was at Rs1,066 bn in February, higher than

Rs972 bn in January. CGST collection amounted to Rs204 bn (January: Rs176 bn), SGST was at

Rs275 bn (Rs242 bn), IGST at Rs504 bn (Rs470 bn), and compensation cess was at Rs83 bn

(Rs85 bn). After allocations from the IGST, CGST for February was at Rs476 bn (January: Rs371

bn) and SGST was Rs512 bn (January: Rs399 bn). 7.6 mn returns were filed in February against

7.35 mn in January implying an improvement in the compliance at the year-end.

FY2019 CGST collections shortfall likely at Rs770 bn

After accounting for refunds (final numbers will be released at month-end), February CGST

collections is likely at Rs467 bn and unallocated IGST at (-)Rs79 bn. This implies that FY2019

CGST collections and unallocated IGST would be at Rs4.6 tn and Rs187 bn (Exhibit 1). The

CGST+IGST shortfall would be around Rs770 bn compared to FY2019RE. If the unallocated

compensation cess funds were to be divided between the center and the states equally (as per

Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to States) Amendment Act, 2018), the shortfall would

be around Rs370 bn.

Expenditure cut of Rs500-750 bn required to bridge shortfall from direct and indirect taxes

Based on the revised estimates for corporate and personal income tax collections, the March tax

collections target seemed quite high, especially when compared to historical collection yoy

growth (Exhibit 2). We expect the shortfall to be around Rs500 bn, in line with the shortfall

indicated in unconfirmed media reports. Combining the GST and direct tax collections shortfalls

along with marginal gain in divestment receipts, the total shortfall in central government’s

receipt (on net tax basis) will be around Rs500 bn (assuming the center and states equally divide

the unallocated part of the compensation cess fund). If the compensation cess fund is not used,

then the shortfall would be Rs750 bn. In order to achieve the FY2019 GFD/GDP target of 3.4%,

expenditure cuts/deferment of similar magnitudes would be required. In case of unchanged

expenditure plan, the slippage in FY2019 GFD/GDP would be 25-40 bps.

Economy Public Finance

Expenditure cuts to the rescue. Given the tax collections, meeting the FY2019RE

GFD/GDP of 3.4% will have required around Rs500-750 bn of expenditure

cuts/deferment. The shortfall in GST revenues will be around Rs370 bn after drawing

from the unutilized portion of the compensation cess fund (Rs770 bn without using the

fund). We estimate Rs500 bn as the direct taxes shortfall in line with the shortfall

indicated in unconfirmed media reports.
