MARKET OUTLOOK The govt is all set to present the Vote on Account on Monday, 17th Feb 2014. This would be the last available opportunity for the government before the election commission notifies election dates, when a ban on further Govt announcements kicks in. In an interim budget changes in direct taxes cannot be attempted, as it would require the Finance Bill to be passed. That is the reason why a slew of populist measures have already been announced. Expectations Our expectations remain muted as: 1) In a Vote on Account an outgoing govt obtains the vote of Parliament for monies sufficient to incur expenditure on various items till a new govt takes over. Normally, no significant tax proposals or economic policy decisions are announced in the interim budget 2) Moreover, the government has already announced a slew of populist measures outside the budget and 3) The fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of GDP for FY14 leaves the govt with little room for any major populist measures. Key expectations The FM may likely outline a vision for the future and present his perspective on the future course of action on taxation and fiscal consolidation path, if the UPA is voted back to power. Fiscal deficit & gross borrowing: The government may report a Fiscal deficit number of 4.5-4.7% of GDP (vs target of 4.8%) given; 1) success of spectrum auctions (revenues may be ~Rs 180 bn vs Rs 110 bn budgeted enabling the govt to just about meet its Rs 400bn overall revenue target from telecom sector), 2) higher special dividends from PSUs, 3) residual stake sales, direct disinvestments, & SUUTI stake sale and 4) Plan expenditure cuts of ~400-500 bn. The gross borrowing number for FY15 may be projected at ~Rs 6.2-6.4 trillion.

ESSENCE OF THE WEEK
(Continued from page 1…)
Indirect taxes: The govt may tinker around with duties in segments that could ease inflation or specific sectors where certain exemptions are expiring. Changes in indirect taxes are executive decisions that can be changed through notifications —parliamentary approval is not required.
Gold import norms: Expectations are ripe over the easing of gold import curbs. The import duty on gold was hiked to a record 10%, and import quantity was tied to exports under the 80/20 rule. These moves helped lower India’s CAD in the current fiscal year. However, given that the Fed tapering is still wreaking havoc on EM currencies and the fact that structural measures are still required to contain CAD, it will be a tricky decision to relax these norms, and if announced, may weigh on the INR in the short term. Service tax: Certain end-use specific exemptions in service tax for services rendered to specific infrastructure businesses could get relief. However, the current rate of tax of 12% is unlikely to be changed. Extension of the excise duty exemption: For hill states such as Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir the government may extend excise duty exemption by either five years or until the GST comes into force as the exemption expires in May 2014.

Interest cost increase is eating into margin gains. Debt remains elevated and is a concern.
Fortis Healthcare (FHL) reported PAT of Rs 3.9 bn in Q3FY14 led by exceptional gain of Rs 4.2 bn due to
stake sale of Quality Healthcare – Hong Kong. Adjusted for one-time gain, Fortis reported a net loss of Rs
352 mn due to higher initial operating costs for new hospitals. Lower interest outgo coupled with higher
number of maturing beds and improving margin profile at SRL Diagnostics to drive turnaround in FY15E.
Adj PAT (Rs mn)
Volumes declined 3% YoY to 117 mnt mainly due to cyclone and flooding in key states. Avg. realization
improved 2% QoQ to Rs 1,445/ton led by (a) Average FSA realization improving 1% QoQ as grade
normalized during the quarter (Q2 was impacted by grade slippage) and (b) higher proportion of e-auction
volumes (13% vs 12% in Q2).
Higher expenses towards R&D and front-end set impacted margins.
Revenues (Rs mn) EB ITDA (Rs mn)
Consolidated EBITDA improved 33% QoQ mainly led by recovery in South profitability. South EBITDA/T
improved 46% QoQ to Rs 868 led by cement price increases in South during the quarter and cost saving
efforts.
While Apollo reported 16% YoY increase in revenue to Rs 9.9 bn, PAT growth was muted at 3% YoY to Rs
834 mn (in line with our estimates), due to higher initial operating costs for new clinics and hospitals.
Apollo is on course to add (1) ~2,300 beds over FY14-17E (1,000 beds to be added in FY15), and (2) 150-
200 pharmacies p.a. Margin expansion likely post FY15, as hospitals and pharmacies mature.
Q3 surprised with: (i) Strong sequential growth in US , (ii) EBITDA margin improvement led by better
product-mix, and (iii) 31 ANDA filings (including 30% non-oral). We expect, Cadila would now show a
steady recovery from here.
Gross margin expansion compensated for topline weakness. We rolled over our valuation to FY16E.
Q3 loss is in line with our estimate after adjusting for timely (but insufficient) subsidy support (Rs 25 bn) by
the government. Refining margin at US$ 1.7/bl was lower than HPCL (US$ 2.3/bl) due to partial closure of
Mumbai and Kochi refineries. Place all oil PSUs Under Review.
Eicher Motors’ Q4CY13 performance was driven by better realization across segments. We raise our
CY14/CY15 2W volume estimates by ~10% each to 300K/374K. This drives upgrade in consolidated
EBIDTA by ~2% in CY14/CY15. However, we lower CY14/ CY15 EPS by 4%/ 5% to Rs 237/ Rs 320
due to higher depreciation in 2W and VECV businesses, lower other income, and higher tax rate.
EBITDA margin were ahead of expectations led by better sales-mix. PSAI continued to laggard. Though
current margins are difficult to sustain, we believe focus on complex generic products is now yielding .

Q3 loss in line with our estimate after adjusting for timely (though insufficient) subsidy support (Rs 23 bn) by
the government. Refining margin declined 40% QoQ to US$ 2.3/bl due to lower gasoline spreads. Place
all oil PSUs Under Review.
Lower pagination and calibrated circulation helped HTML limit the adverse impact of higher newsprint
prices (up 14% YoY). We revise upwards our FY14/15E EPS to Rs 7.3/8.6 to factor in better margin and
lower tax outgo. Given the recent stock correction, we upgrade the stock to BUY with a TP of Rs 86 (10x
FY15E EPS of Rs 8.6)
Standalone EBITDA was marginally better than our estimate of Rs 5.8 bn due to better than expected
copper profitability. Copper EBIT improved 26% QoQ to Rs 3 bn led by (a) higher volumes (89 kt, up 6%
QoQ), (b) improving Tc/Rc charges and (c) improved by-product realizations.
Q3 loss was significantly better than our/ Street estimates (adjusted for subsidy) due to higher refining
margin and other income. IOC’s GRM at US$ 4.2/bl was best among peers (BPCL: US$ 1.7/bl, HPCL: US$
2.3/bl) due to better inventory management and partial closures of BPCL/ HPCL’s refineries. Place all oil
PSUs Under Review.
Revenues (Rs mn)
Results were in line with estimates. YoY decline in profitability reflects industry concerns on (a) overcapacity
situation in South resulting in volatile cement prices and (b) cost pressures, particularly energy and freight
costs. Cement volumes declined 5% YoY to 2.3 mnt.
HATH started gross billing in Delhi from Dec ’13. However, there may be some delays in implementing
gross billing in Kolkata (expected in Q4FY14), Mumbai and phase II cities (expected in Q1FY15). Given
these delays, we revise our FY14E EBITDA downwards by 17%, but maintain FY15E estimates (gross billing
across phase I & II cities from Q1FY15
EBITDA at Rs 4.9 bn (up 8% YoY) was driven by steady performance of BOT vertical (EBITDA excl.
standalone at Rs 4 bn; up 27% YoY). Margin decline of 577 bps YoY in standalone business was due to (a)
lower proportion of high margin fee income vs. Q2 and (b) one time technical fee of Rs 0.5 bn. However,
this was offset to some extent by strong execution.
Domestic MIS growth turned positive after 6 quarters on the back of higher farm income and better
monsoon. Moreover, working capital continues to fall alongside revenue improvement which is a big
positive.
Godrej Industries (GIL) Adj. PAT rose 27% YoY to Rs 652 mn due to strong performance from Agrovet
division (58% increase in EBIT to Rs 470 mn). We expect growth momentum in Agrovet to continue led by
(1) Continuous R&D in animal feed and increasing volumes in aqua feed, (2) Launch of new agri-products,
and (3) Yearly addition of ~8,000 hectares of palm oil and higher yield from maturing plantations.
Volumes expectedly declined 2% QoQ to 347 mscm. CNG prices have been cut by 30% in Q4 (Rs 35/kg
from Rs 50/kg) on allocation of 100% domestic gas. However, prices are likely to go up to earlier levels
once domestic gas prices are hiked from Apr ‘14.
Volumes declined 7% QoQ to 230 mscm due to seasonality and higher gas price. Gross margin expectedly
declined 15% QoQ to Rs 8.2/scm due to higher spot-LNG sourcing costs and limited price hikes. GGAS is
focusing on increasing Liquid Fuel Replacement users in its customer mix, which augurs well for margins as
they can absorb higher prices.

Revenues (Rs mn) EB ITDA (Rs mn) Adj PAT (Rs mn)
PAT higher than our estimate due to 53% QoQ decline in depreciation. Depreciation was lower on account
of 87% decline in dry well write-off to Rs 0.4 bn. Place all PSUs Under Review.
Leisure wear volume growth was significantly above expectation. Jockey is competing with the likes of Nike
and Adidas at much lower price points enabling market share gains.
H1CY14 should see a pick up in license sales driven by year-end closure of parent co. (Oracle Y/E May).
We are given to understand that pipeline is healthy (esp. for Tier 1 banks) and hence we build in USD 83
mn license fees in FY15 (USD 63 mn in FY14). Our TP stands at Rs 2,951 (16x FY15E EPS of Rs 184) vs. Rs
3,232 earlier, which implies 4% downside from CMP. Maintain HOLD.
Adjusted PAT at Rs 71.3 bn was significantly higher than our/Street estimates (Rs 60/57 bn) due to higher
crude sales and higher income from LPG/naphtha (Rs 36 bn vs. our estimate of Rs 30 bn). ONGC has
written back provision of Rs 30 bn made towards deductions taken by OMCs after calculating VAT/CST on
net crude oil realization (vs. gross oil realization earlier).
Taro performance was better-than-expectation led by further price hikes. Ex-Taro performance in line.
gCymbalta, gDepo-Testestrone inj, gTemodar and ramp-up in gDoxil to lead growth in near term.
Blended realization improved 10% QoQ to Rs 4,430 (vs. our estimate of Rs 4,250) led by price increases
in South during the quarter. EBITDA/ton was Rs 750 on an estimated volume of 1.95 mnt (up 2% YoY) vs Rs
450 in Q2FY14 and Rs 1,200 in Q3FY13.
Q3 sales of 0.9 msf largely from its new launches (~0.77 msf). Was unable to sign sale agreements for new
launches in Q3, resulting in lower revenues and collections. Slower off-take at its ready/ near ready
inventory (~25% of Q3 sales). One-time cost escalations and reallocation (Rs 220 mn) impact margins (32%
in Q3 vs 40% in Q2). Net debt remained steady at Rs 14.8 bn.
Q3 performance was led by commercial finance and AMC businesses. Premium growth in life insurance
and general insurance remained high.
JPA reported loss of Rs 0.9 bn (vs profit of Rs 0.6 bn estimated), mainly due to high interest (Rs 7.5 bn vs. Rs
6.5 bn expected). Management clarified that there is no significant increase in debt vs. Q2, however
interest was high due to Rs 0.26 bn of forex loss and Rs 0.8 bn of one time finance charge. Adjusted for one-
offs, interest is in line with Q2. EBITDA was below our estimates on account of weak results in cement (due
to weak demand) and realty.
EBITDA was in line with our estimate, however was higher than Bloomberg consensus estimate of Rs 18.2
bn. Volumes were at 7.5 mnt (up 42% YoY). Sharp improvement in volumes YoY was led by a) higher
volumes in Karnataka due to shortage in the state and b) base effect, where volumes in Q3FY13 were
impacted by poor demand for lumps due to higher prices.

Revenues (Rs mn) EB ITDA (Rs mn) Adj PAT (Rs mn)
Consolidated APAT at Rs 49 bn (est. of Rs 30 bn) was driven by revenue surprise at JLR (GBP 5.3 bn vs est.
of GBP 4.9 bn). JLR margin came in at 17.9% (above our est. of 15.3%) despite 220 bps adverse currency
impact (est. 200 bps) due to richer product mix. Lower other expenses and tax rate also aided net profit.
Capacity ramp-up remains critical for FY15 volume upgrade (our est. at 500K). Upgrade FY15E EPS by
14% to Rs 56.2.
Macro headwinds sustain with the company reporting like to like de-growth of 10%. However, 300 bps
improvement in gross margin softened profit impact.
Adj. PAT at ~Rs 0.7 bn was below our estimate of Rs 2.3 bn mainly on higher interest cost and tax rate
(67% vs. 35% exp.) though operational result was in line with expectations.
Tube Investment’s (TI) Q3FY14 standalone revenue increased 9% YoY to Rs 8.3 bn, while EBIDTA margin
improved 120 bps to 9.1%. Despite sluggish automotive and industrial demand, the engineering and metal
formed division each showed ~12% YoY increase in revenue along with improvement in margins. This was
largely due to the company’s ability to pass on costs and improve efficiencies.
Q3 was robust with revenue growth of 66% YoY, EBITDA margin of 8% (up 170 bps YoY), and 132%
growth in adjusted net profit. Order inflow was at Rs 10 bn vs. Rs 6 bn YoY. Working capital reduced to 51
days as of Dec ’13 from 76 days as of Sep ’13. Net cash increased to Rs 1.9 bn (Rs 1.6 bn as of Sep ’13).
SunTV's ad revenue continued to be under pressure (down 7% YoY but up 17% QoQ) due to continued
impact of ad inventory cut (to adhere to TRAI’s mandate of 12 min ad cap by Oct ’13). However, we expect
the company’s ad growth to rebound Q4 onwards as (a) most of the ad rate hike (corresponding to inventory
cut) has been passed through and (b) reduction in content providers’ ad inventory share
Despite revenue growth, EBITDA margin slumped to ~3%, led by poor performance in the EPC/Projects
business. As a result, adjusted PAT significantly declined to Rs 1 mn (vs. Rs 57 mn in Q3FY13).
Higher sales of Rs 1.27 bn (vs. Rs 0.9 bn in Q2). Sold only 3 units in its BKC projects in Q3. Pre-launched its
Goregaon Phase-2 (sold 35 units out of 100 units launched) in Q3. Collections improved to Rs 1.24 bn due
to improved collections at its Goregaon Ph-1. Signature Island to contribute to revenue from Q4FY14. We
revise our project timelines (slow demand/ approval delays) and cost estimates (increase in Ready Reckoner
rates in Mumbai).
International operations’ EBITDA/ton was flat QoQ at USD 30/ton. Domestic volumes improved 9% YoY to
2.1 mnt led by ramp up at its 3 mnt Jamshedpur expansion. Avg. steel realization was flat QoQ at Rs
45,000/t.

2. SUMMARIES OF REPORTS RELEASED THIS WEEK
A. Eco: Headline inflation cools off but core uptick disconcerting (14th Feb) Click for detailed report
([email protected]; 91 22 4325 1108)
WPI inflation moderated to a lower than expected 5.05% YoY in Jan (6.16% in Dec, 7.5% in Nov) – an 8 month low.
CPI Inflation eased sharply to 8.8% YoY - 24 mth low in Jan (9.8% in Dec). However, core inflation inched up above
3% (higher by ~20 bps) - the 1st time since April’ 13 even as Core CPI remained sticky at 8.1% (8.09 in Dec).
Data takeaways
Primary articles inflation fell ~4% (MoM) after falling ~5% MoM in Dec. Fuel segment saw an uptick of 95 bps whereas
Manufacturing inflation saw marginal moderation (13 bps).
‘Vege-deflation’ continues: Fall in WPI inflation owed to sharply lower Primary article inflation (shaving off ~1%
from the overall number). Food prices softened to 8.9% YoY (14% in Dec & 20% in Nov) with vegetable prices
crashing further to 16% YoY (54% in Dec & 95% YoY in Nov) though milk prices continued to edge up. However,
vegetables, eggs, meat and fish price inflation continues to be in double digits despite the cool off. In fact, protein
inflation has inched by 30 bps since Nov.
Fuel Inflation: Was higher by 95 bps MoM due to diesel and petrol price hikes (up by 50 paise & 75 paise
respectively in Jan) along that of unsubsidized LPG cylinders (prices raised to ~Rs 1200) by oil retailers. We expect
the LPG component to subside from here.
Weaker growth conditions and subdued global commodity prices continue to limit the pass through from imported
prices. Input price inflation remains stable and prevents an increase in output inflation in the near term.
Policy implications: The uptick in core WPI along with a sticky core CPI will prevent RBI from lowering its guard as
vegetable prices have a tendency to rise especially during summer, which can push headline inflation higher. However,
as headline inflation has fallen sharply along the expected lines, we expect the RBI to maintain status quo in April.
B. Eco: Trade data (11th Feb) Click for detailed report
([email protected]; 91 22 4325 1108)
Import contraction keeps trade deficit in check India’s merchandise trade deficit in Jan remained in check at USD 9.9 bn (vs 10.1 bn in Dec) – with imports shrinking
18% (YoY) to USD 36.6 bn while exports rose 3.8% (YoY) to USD 26.8 bn. We expect trade deficit to remain the
range of USD 10-11 bn pm through the year.
Export growth remained anemic though it improved a tad to 3.8% YoY (3.5% YoY in Dec). Indian exports grew in
double digits during Jul-Oct13. However, base effect and a sharp drop in transport equipment exports and moderation
in textile and machinery and instruments exports contributed to slower export growth thereafter.
Non-Oil imports declined 22% YoY owing largely to the curbs on gold. The import duty on gold was hiked to a record
10%, and import quantity was tied to exports under the 80/20 rule which dictated that 20% of all gold imports have to

ESSENCE OF THE WEEK
be re-exported. These have resulted in Gold & Silver imports being restricted to USD 27 bn (down 31% YoY) during
Apr-Dec 2013. Gold imports are likely to remain ~ USD 35 bn in FY14 as compared to USD 55 bn in FY13.
Oil imports fell 10% YoY owing to moderation in domestic demand. Diesel consumption (~44% of the total oil
consumption) has declined by 1% YoY during Apr-Dec. However, Consumption of Oil (incl products) during the same
period was higher by 1.7% YoY (vs 5.4% in the corresponding period last year).
In view of these data points and the fact that service export growth is likely to be in line with that in Q2, India’s current
account deficit is expected to remain modest in the near term (1.2% of GDP). While the INR has largely been stable
~62 level, in REER terms it has risen to 88 (36-country) and 96 (6-country) in Jan’14.However, evidence suggests that in
the longer term, global demand is relatively more important for export growth than INR depreciation.
C. Eco: Vote-on account: Muted expectations (12th Feb) Click for detailed report
([email protected]; 91 22 4325 1108)
The govt is all set to present the Vote on Account on 17th Feb 2014. This would be the last available opportunity for the
government before the election commission notifies election dates, when a ban on further Govt announcements kicks in.
In an interim budget changes in direct taxes cannot be attempted, as it would require the Finance Bill to be passed. That
is the reason why a slew of populist measures have already been announced.
Expectations
Our expectations remain muted as: 1) In a Vote on Account an outgoing govt obtains the vote of Parliament for monies
sufficient to incur expenditure on various items till a new govt takes over. Normally, no significant tax proposals or
economic policy decisions are announced in the interim budget 2) Moreover, the government has already announced a
slew of populist measures outside the budget and 3) The fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of GDP for FY14 leaves the govt
with little room for any major populist measures.
Key expectations
The FM may likely outline a vision for the future and present his perspective on the future course of action on taxation (to
answer the BJP’s promise of a simpler tax regime) and fiscal consolidation path, if the UPA is voted back to power.
Fiscal deficit & gross borrowing: The government may report a Fiscal deficit number of 4.5-4.7% of GDP (vs target of
4.8%) given; 1) success of spectrum auctions (revenues may be ~Rs 170 bn vs Rs 110 bn budgeted enabling the govt to
meet its Rs 400bn overall revenue target from telecom sector), 2) higher special dividends from PSUs, 3) the possibility
of residual stake sales in Hindustan Zinc and BALCO, 4) direct disinvestments, & SUUTI stake sale and 4) Plan
expenditure cuts of ~400-500 bn. The gross borrowing number for FY15 may be projected at ~Rs 6.2-6.4 trillion.
Indirect taxes: The govt may tinker around with duties in segments that could ease inflation or specific sectors where
certain exemptions are expiring. Changes in indirect taxes are executive decisions that can be changed through
notifications —parliamentary approval is not required.
Gold import norms: Expectations are ripe over the easing of gold import curbs. The import duty on gold was hiked to a
record 10%, and import quantity was tied to exports under the 80/20 rule which dictated that 20% of all gold imports
have to be re-exported. These moves helped lower India’s CAD in the current fiscal year. However, given that the Fed
tapering is still wreaking havoc on EM currencies and the fact that structural measures are required to contain CAD, it
will be a tricky decision to relax these norms, and if announced, may weigh on the INR in the short term.
Service tax: Certain end-use specific exemptions in service tax for services rendered to specific infrastructure businesses
could get relief. However, the current rate of tax of 12% is unlikely to be changed.

ESSENCE OF THE WEEK
Extension of the excise duty exemption: For hill states such as Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir the
government may extend excise duty exemption by either five years or until the GST comes into force as the exemption
expires in May 2014.
D. Highways: Muddling through…recovery still some time away (10th Feb) Click for detailed report
([email protected]; 91 22 4325 1149)
Our interaction with National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) suggests that a recovery is still some time away with
not much traction in FY14 (ordering and execution was slow). We believe ordering will continue to be muted till
elections are over.
Key takeaways:
A sense of déjà vu – most new awards expected on EPC basis as low traffic and inordinate delays have stretched
private sector finances. Further, 2/3rd of balance awards are at remote locations with low traffic – viable only on
EPC basis or with support from NHAI
Funding EPC contracts not a concern: Even if all balance National Highways Development Programme orders
(15,000 kms) are executed on EPC, NHAI will be able to fund it
NHAI wishes to take sympathetic approach to private sector's woes - reflected in policy initiative on premium
restructuring. Note: NHAI maintains this is not an new concept and is permitted under the existing Model Concession Agreement (MCA) in form of a ‘Revenue shortfall Loan’
Developers have inflated project costs, and have been running projects on wafer thin equity – detrimental for sector
as it encourages aggressive bidding. It has created a situation of “Heads I win, tails you lose” for developers. We
believe that banks need to ensure that developers have their own skin in the game
Frenetic policy action witnessed recently (exit policy/ premium restructuring/ forest clearance divorced from
environmental/ etc), albeit late in the day, does augur well for future awards
We prefer players with strong operational risk mitigation via diversified portfolio and cash flow visibility. Maintain BUY
on ITNL with TP of Rs 162, which implies 42% upside from CMP of Rs 114.
E. Indian Logistics: Improving volume mix to aid margins (12th Feb) Click for detailed report
([email protected]; 91 22 4325 1118)
Following a sharp bounce in Dec (pent up volumes due to labor strike), JNPT’s container volumes maintained growth
momentum in Jan 2014. While both export and import volume at JNPT grew ~4% YoY, an overall improved traction in
export volumes vs. imports (YTDFY14) aided steady improvement in export–import volume mix (as visible in last 4-5
months). This reduction in export–import mismatch will continue to aid margin improvement for container train operators
like Container Corporation (Bloomberg: CCRI IN) and Gateway Distriparks (Bloomberg: GDPL IN).
January 2014 data released by Indian Ports Association (IPA) shows ~2% YoY decline (vs. 4% YoY fall during Apr-Dec
2013) in container volumes (teu) across major ports. Tonnage volumes decline was sharper at 7% YoY (vs. ~5% decline
in Apr-Dec 2013) across major ports.
Outlook
While macro headwinds may continue to keep a check on container volume growth across major ports, we expect
steady uptick in export volumes to continue to benefit both CCRI and GDPL through lower empty running losses.
We maintain (a) HOLD rating on CCRI with TP Rs 750 (13x FY15E EPS of Rs 58), implying limited room for upside from
CMP of Rs 722 and (b) BUY rating on GDPL with SoTP-based TP of Rs 155 (implied P/E of 10.3x FY15E EPS of Rs 15),
implying 19% upside from CMP of Rs 130.

Premiumising - a la GCPL’s portfolio
After launching the Cinthol’s premium soaps & grooming range and successfully introducing the cream based hair
colour ‘Expert Rich crème’ last year, GCPL today announced roll out of its premium Good Knight Xpress liquid
vaporizer. Touted as most powerful liquid vaporiser with 4x faster effectiveness vs. regular Liquid vaporizer, it will
primarily target consumers seeking quick relief, greater potency and making anti mosquito regime simpler (removing
dual product usage). Good Knight Xpress to be available at Rs 108 for a combi pack (machine+ refill), a ~10%
premium to Good Knight Activ+ system and 50% premium to original Good Knight system.

Innovation driving Indian household insecticide market
Innovations such as low smoke coil, anti-cockroach gel and multi-mode liquid vaporiser has been driving faster growth
of household insecticide in India. GCPL has been forefront of these innovations, and thereby gaining market share (at
51% in 2013 vs. 35% in 2008, as per Euromonitor). Thus while market growth has been 10-15% over the last 3 years,
GCPL has reported 25%+ growth in household insecticide segment (~45% of domestic revenues and ~55% of domestic
EBITDA).
Will GCPL’s domestic HI segment growth get a Xpress boost?
Liquid vaporizer (LV) that had been 35% of Household Insecticide (HI) category in 2007 has grown to 49% today. This
has been driven by new multi-mode LVs such as Activ+ that has helped reduce the efficacy gap. The new Good Knight
Express roll out is to further enhance this role and re-establish differentiation in the LV category. Thus, the muted 8%
growth in GCPL domestic HI segment in Q3FY14 (largely due to seasonal impact) is likely to reverse in Q4FY14. We
expect the roll out to aid double digit growth for HI segment for next few quarters.
Recommend BUY with TP of Rs 835, 16% upside
GCPL’s Q3FY14 result disappointment notwithstanding, we remain optimistic of GCPL delivering a 23% earnings CAGR
over FY14-16E helped by sustained market share gain in key categories and geographies and improved margin
performance in its international business. GCPL has corrected 16% over the last 6 months and underperformed Sensex
by 24%. It trades at 1-yr rolling forward PE of 26x vs. its 3-yr average PE of 27x. We maintain our BUY call on GCPL
with Mar’15 TP of Rs 835. At CMP of Rs 722, the stock trades at 25x FY15E EPS of Rs 28.7.

Crude price remained flat at US$ 109/ bl as weak US economic data (high jobless claims) outweighed
supply disruptions in Libya and Angola
Singapore refining margin remained flat at US$ 6.3/bl as weakness in naphtha cracks was offset by a
recovery in gasoline margins. Naphtha margins weakened as demand for the fuel declined in Asia due to
cracker maintenance. (Source: Plastmart)
PE/PP margin rose as Asiapac naphtha prices weakened on cracker maintenance, while PE/PP prices
remained stable
Non-ferrous metal prices were flat during the week
Gold and silver prices rose 3-4% post comments from the Fed Chairman that work is needed to restore the
labor market. Also, US jobless claims unexpectedly rose last week
Palm oil price has been on uptrend due to seasonally lower output of the tropical oil as well as a dry spell in
soy-growing Brazil that would potentially squeeze global edible oil supplies
