This month we are making two changes in the Top Picks basket.
We are booking profits in TVS Motor Company and replacing it
with Apollo Tyres (a beneficiary of the revival in the commercial
vehicle segment and soft rubber prices). The other change relates to
UltraTech Cement replacing Reliance Industries, which could
languish due to the deferment of gas price hikes by the government
and other negative news flow on the counter. On the other hand,
UltraTech Cement is among the beneficiaries of improving cement
prices in the western and southern regions. The new governments
thrust on infrastructure investments should also keep investors
interested in the cement sector.

Remarks: Apollo Tyres is a leading player in the domestic passenger car and truck tyre segments. The tyre industrys volume has been subdued
given the weak macro environment. We expect the demand to improve in H2FY2015 with a pick-up in the economy.
The profitability of the tyre companies has improved given the soft natural rubber prices and this benefit is expected to continue for a
couple of quarters.
Apollos European operations too have reported a strong performance with a strong volume growth and high profitability. The company
will be investing EUR200mn for setting up a greenfield facility in Eastern Europe which will start production in Q4FY2017 and cater to
the long-term growth in Europe.
We like the stock for its consistent performance and long-term growth prospects (expansion in Europe and Chennai). We have a Buy

Remarks: Crompton Greaves deals in industrial and power systems, which hold high potential, given the prospective turnaround in the investment
cycle, with higher focus on the power transmission & distribution sector. It also has a strong presence in domestic consumer products
which is expected to witness a high growth, thanks to brand leverage, deep presence and stable demand.
Though the power system business in the USA and the subsidiaries in Canada are still not out of the woods, the overall performance
of the international subsidiaries would improve backed by a recovery in the European business, which was hit by a restructuring
exercise. A reversal in the outlook for domestic demand would improve sentiment too. Consequently, we expect a sharp improvement
in its margin, earnings and return ratios which would be the key driver of a re-rating. We remain positive on the stock.

Remarks: Federal Bank undertook structural changes in the balance sheet, viz increasing the proportion of the better rated assets and improving
the retail deposit base, and is thus better prepared to ride the recovery cycle. As the economy is gradually showing signs of a revival,
the bank is much better capitalised (tier-1 capital adequacy ratio of 15%) compared with its peer banks to expand the balance sheet.
Asset quality has improved substantially over the past three to four quarters and is likely to improve further in the coming period.
Higher provision coverage of 84% and a possibility of recovery from one large-ticket account (likely in the next two to three quarters)
would further increase the comfort on asset quality.
The valuation of 1.4x FY2016 BV is attractive when compared with the regional banks and other old private banks. The expansion in
the return on equity (RoE) led by a better than industry growth (FY2014-16) will lead to an expansion in the valuation multiple. We have
a Buy rating on the stock with a price target of Rs142.

Remarks: Gabriel India (Gabriel), a leading manufacturer of shock absorbers is perfectly set to reap the benefit of strong growth in two-wheeler
segment and revival in the passenger and CV segments. The management is focusing on increasing the revenue share from the aftersales (high margin segment) and export segments.
Additionally, the revenue share with Hondas two-wheeler business (the fastest growing two-wheeler company) is expected to increase
as it starts to ramp-up production at its new Karnataka facility. No major capex, strong free cashflow generation would help to reduce
debt burden going forward. Consequently, it would lead to higher margins and return ratios.
In recent time, the stock has generated healthy return of 40% and almost achieved our target price of Rs46. We continue to remain firm
on companys fundamental, given the fact of strong market share across business verticals, improving outlook of CV/PV segments and
recent restructuring exercise to concentrate on each of the business verticals (two-wheeler, PV and CV) to improve the product-mix,
after the sales service as well as to improve the exports, which would lead better financial performance.

Remarks: An improvement in exim trade along with a rise in port traffic at the major ports are signalling an improving business environment for
the logistic companies. Gateway Distriparks being a major player in the CFS and rail logistic segments is expected to witness an
improvement in the volumes of its CFS and rail divisions going ahead.
The improving trend in the rail freight and cold chain subsidiaries would sustain on account of the recent efforts to control costs and
improve utilisation.
We continue to have faith in GDLs long-term growth story based on the expansion of each of its three business segments, ie CFS, rail
transportation and cold storage infrastructure segments. First, we believe the listing of SLL will unlock the inherent value and the
potential of the cold chain operations. Second, the coming on stream of the Faridabad facility and the strong operational performance
will further enhance the performance of the rail operations. Third, the expected turnaround in the global trade should have a positive
impact on the CFS operations. We maintain our Buy rating with a price target of Rs250.

Remarks: With an improvement in the liability profile, ICICI Bank is better positioned to expand its market share especially in the retail segment.
We expect its advances to grow at 18.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over FY2014-16 leading to a CAGR of 17.0% in the
net interest income.
ICICI Banks asset quality had shown some stress in recent results due to rise in restructured loans. However, the banks asset quality
is significantly better than public sector banks (PSBs) and has improved in the past few years. We believe the strong operating profits
should help the bank to absorb the stress which anyway is expected to recede due to an uptick in economy.
Led by a pick-up in the advance growth and a significant improvement in the margin, the RoE is likely to expand to ~16% by FY2016
while the return on assets (RoA) is likely to improve to 1.8%. This would be driven by a 15.3% growth (CAGR) in the profit over
FY2014-16.
The stock trades at 1.9x FY2016E BV. Moreover, given the improvement in the profitability led by lower NPA provisions, a healthy
growth in the core income and improved operating metrics, we recommend a Buy with a price target of Rs1,728.

Remarks: Larsen & Toubro (L&T), the largest engineering and construction company in India, is a direct beneficiary of the strong domestic
infrastructure development and industrial capital expenditure (capex) revival now.
L&T continues to impress us with its order inflow growth achievement and good execution skills even in a slowdown. Now it is looking
at better days ahead with the domestic environment improving. We believe in such a situation, L&T would be a major beneficiary as it
is placed much ahead of its peers with a strong balance sheet. Moreover, monetisation of various assets would help the company to
improve the RoE.
A sound execution track record, a healthy order book and a strong performance of its subsidiaries reinforce our faith in L&T. We believe

Remarks: LIC Housing Finance being the second largest housing finance company (a loan book of over Rs90,000 crore) will benefit from the
recovery in the housing market. The company has strong brand recall (due to the LIC parentage) and widespread distribution network
which will aid expansion in the business.
The re-pricing of the fixed rate loans to floating rate loans over FY2015 and FY2016 coupled with a moderation in the interest rates will
boost margins. The companys gross and net NPAs are at 0.67% and 0.39% respectively, amongst the best in the system.
Currently, it trades at 1.6x FY2016E book value, which seems attractive considering the stable RoE of around 18-20% and healthy
asset quality. Going ahead, a revival in the economy and moderation in the borrowing rates could be the key triggers for the stock. We
have a Buy rating on the stock with a price target of Rs373.

Remarks: A vast geographical presence, focus on niche segments like oral contraceptives, ophthalmic products, para-IV filings and branded
business in the USA are the key elements of growth for Lupin. The company has remarkably improved its brand equity in the domestic
and international generic markets to occupy a significant position in the branded formulation business. Its inorganic growth strategy
has seen a stupendous success in the past.
While most of the geographies have recorded an impressive growth for the company in FY2014, Japan (due to restructuring at the
step-down subsidiary, Irom Pharma) and India (due to the impact of the new drug pricing policy) saw a weaker performance during the
fiscal. However, we expect the Indian business to bounce back, as the pricing related issues are gradually getting settled.
Lupin is expected to see stronger traction in the US business on the back of the key generic launches in recent months and a strong
pipeline in the US generic business (over 91 abbreviated new drug approvals pending approval including 86 first-to-files) to ensure the
future growth. The key products that are going to provide a lucrative generic opportunity for the company include Nexium (market size
of $2.2 billion), Lunesta (market size of $800 million) and Namenda (market size of $1.75 billion) that will be going out of patent
protection in FY2015. We expect revenue and profit CAGR of 22% and 17% over FY2014-16.

Remarks: We expect the demand environment to improve with a cyclical upturn in the economy aided by policy push driving investments in the
infrastructure sector. The cement prices across India have risen recently which can boost the OPM of pan-India players like UltraTech.
UltraTech being an industry leader with a strong balance sheet is placed comfortably to grow inorganically by acquiring assets at
reasonable valuations and maintaining its dominant position. The company is slated to increase its current capacity to 70MMT by 2016
from 55MMT currently.
We like UltraTech on account of its pan-India presence and a strong balance sheet. The current valuation of cement companies is on
the cusp of a re-rating considering the past cement cycles. UltraTech trades at a 39% discount to its peak cyclical valuation. Consequently,
we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of Rs2,868.

Remarks: Among the key stakeholders of the domestic TV industry, we expect the broadcasters to be the prime beneficiary of the mandatory
digitisation process initiated by the government. The broadcasters would benefit from higher subscription revenues at the least incremental
capex as the subscriber declaration improves in the cable industry.
On completion of 20 years of operations, ZEEL has issued redeemable preference shares (RPS) aggregating Rs2,000 crore (6%
preference dividend) for eight years. The RPS will be issued at a ratio of 21 RPSs for every equity share. The RPS will be redeemable
from the fourth year till the eighth year.
ZEELs management acknowledged that the recent TRAI recommendation of capping the advertisement time at 12 minutes per hour
would have an adverse impact on its advertisement volume. The company will take adequate hikes in the advertisement rates in order
to negate the impact of reduced volumes. Thus, we expect a very minimal impact on the blended advertisement growth in FY2015 and
FY2016.
ZEEL is well placed to benefit from the ongoing digitisation theme and the overall recovery in the macro economy. Additionally, phase-
wise rate hikes in the channel rates would augur well for the subscription revenues. We have incorporated potential tax benefits from
a merger of DMCL in FY2016. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a price target of Rs367.

reports, Airtel Africa is in an advanced stage of selling its tower assets for a
combined value of $1.8-2.0 billion. The development is on expected lines and
seeks to monetise assets and delever the balance sheet. Bharti Africa collectively
holds around 15,000 towers and at the stated valuation the enterprise value
per tower comes to Rs75-77 lakh. That is a premium to the Indian tower
valuations and would also aid in deleveraging the balance sheet. Hence, it
would be positive for the company.
Book partial profit; downgraded to Hold from Buy: Despite the concerns related
to a higher than expected pay-out by the telecom operators in the spectrum
auction held in February 2014, Bharti Airtel has fared fairly well due to pricing
discipline and an improving operating environment (in line with our positive
stance and expectations). In the last three months the stock has given a return
of over 25% and is currently trading close to our price target (Rs370), offering
meagre 4% returns. Hence, we advise investors to book partial profits in the
stock. In view of the limited upside from the current levels we downgrade our
rating on the stock from Buy to Hold.
Strong fundamentalscompetitive environment a key monitorable: We remain
positive on the long-term prospects of Bharti Airtel (and the telecom sector)
and would keep a keen watch on the emerging competitive environment to
review our rating and price target on the stock.

weak consumer sentiment that moderated its revenue growth from mid teens
to high single digits in FY2014. The volume growth of the domestic consumer
business moderated to 4% in FY2014 from about 7% in FY2013. The OPM
improved by about 60BPS to 14.2% due to efficient procurement of the key
inputs, stringent cost management and cut in promotional spending (in the
second half of the year).
The companys operating cash cycle improved by five days with a reduction in
the debtor days. The return ratios remained strong with RoE and RoCE standing
at 99% and 135.7% in FY2014 respectively. The dividend pay-out remained
strong at 83.4% during the year.
HUL is one of the largest FMCG companies in India with a strong distribution
reach in the urban and rural markets. It has one of the strongest balance sheets
with negative working capital and is also known for its consistent strong
dividend payout. Banking on sustained innovation and premiumisation the
company wants to derive better revenue growth in the long run. The current
valuation of 30.6x the FY2016E earnings is at a stark premium to its historical
average. Hence, we maintain our Reduce rating on the stock with an unchanged
price target of Rs520.

upon four issues: the revival of revenue growth, margin trajectory, rising
attrition and a slew of top-level exits. The management stated that getting
back on growth track is the top priority. It indicated it is aggressively chasing
large traditional IT outsourcing deals (by being more competitive on pricing
and innovation). It will strengthen its sales team by about 400 people in FY2015.
The attrition rate is expected to come down gradually (currently at a concerning
level of 18.7%), though it will remain at elevated levels in the near term. On
the search for a new CEO the management said that it is reviewing a potentially
large set of internal and external candidates and refrained from giving out any
specific timeline for the completion of the process.
The concerns over the several top-level exits in the last one year, the suspense
over the new CEO and the predictability of growth are weighing on the stocks
performance. The stock has fallen by 22% in the last three odd months. We
believe it will be a long road ahead before we see Infosys earnings performance
catching up with that of the bigger IT companies. Given the volatility in the
counter, it will be futile to take an investment call based on the quarterly
earnings performance of the company. At the current level, the stock is available
at a reasonable valuation of 13x FY2016E earnings coupled with a strong
cash balance restricts any major downside. We maintain our Buy rating on the
stock with a price target of Rs3,550.

India, the health minister, Dr Harsh Vardhan, has proposed to increase the
excise duty on cigarettes by 100% in the upcoming union budget. This will
have a negative impact on the sales volume and earnings of the cigarette
companies (including ITC) in the near term.
The excise duty per cigarette stick stood at about Rs1.3 for ITC in FY2014. Our
sensitivity analysis indicates that in FY2015 the companys earnings would decline
by 13-23% if the excise duty increases by 44-76% and the cigarette sales volume
decline by 3.5-6.0%. We have assumed an excise duty hike of 10% and a volume
growth of 3.5% in our current earnings estimate for FY2015. We will revise the
estimate after the announcement of the union budget 2014-15.
ITCs stock price has corrected by about 15% in the last four to five weeks which
has largely factored in the likely steep excise duty hike on cigarettes and its impact
on the earnings in the near term. We believe the stock price will languish at the
current levels but the risk-reward ratio for the investors with a long-term view is
quite favourable now. Hence, we maintain a Buy recommendation on the stock
(and advise accumulating it on declines with a time horizon of 12-18 months) for
a gain of 20-25% from the current level. The stock is currently trading at 25.0x
the FY2015E earnings per share (EPS) of Rs12.6
Possible risk to our rating: If the government raises the excise duty on cigarettes
by more than 100% the stock price may decline by another 10-12%.

grew by 12% YoY to Rs1,152 crore with a healthy performance in the T&D
segment. The OPM of KPTL remained flat at 9.5% in Q4FY2014 but due to
higher depreciation and interest charges the adjusted PAT declined by 3%
YoY to Rs47 crore. For FY2014 the PAT grew by 6% YoY, backed by a 22%
growth in sales and a steady margin in the stand-alone entity.
JMC Projects (its listed construction subsidiary) reported significant margin
expansion for Q4FY2014 to 6.2% (up 147BPS) even though its sales declined
by 8%, as efforts to improve the margin and streamline the balance sheet are
bearing fruits now. Another subsidiary, Shree Shubham Logistics, reported a
very strong net profit growth with incremental capacity and better OPM of
about 17.5%. In FY2014 also the PAT of SSL grew by 52% YoY.
The management has maintained a top line guidance of 15% for KPTL, backed
by a healthy order book of 1.6x FY2014 revenues with expectations of a
stable margin. But the profitability in the subsidiariesis expected to look up.
However, in case of JMC Projects, the development of its road BOOT projects
should be the key monitorable as FY2015 and FY2016 would be the first two
years of tolling revenue collection. We have fine-tuned our estimates and revised
our price target primarily by revising upward the valuation multiple, given the
overall better outlook. Hence, we retain Buy on the stock with a revised price
target of Rs200 (based on SOTP method).

growth in the denim & shirting segment (up 30.8% YoY) and the garmenting
segment (up 33.4% YoY). The textile business grew at a soft pace of 7.5%
YoY, as the demand remained muted. During the year the entire focus was on
cost rationalisation and supply chain management which started yielding results
in the form of margin expansion. For the year the operating profit grew by

have revised our price target upwards (to factor in the improvement in the
margin, lesser than expected dilution in the equity and increase in the book
value by 11% for FY2015 and by 22% for FY2016). This has resulted in a
new price target of Rs720 (2x FY2016E book value, which is close to its fiveyear mean valuation multiple). We maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

Essel Propack Ltd (EPL), a leading manufacturer of
laminated and plastic tubes globally (35% market share),
is expected to see better times ahead with a turnaround
of its European operations (after seven years), shifting
focus towards non-oral care high-margin industry
(particularly personal care, skin care and hair care
segments), a revival in the US market and a strong growth
in the AMESA region. We expect the company to register
a revenue growth of 15% (CAGR) in FY2013-16.

VIEWPOINT
Key points
Though we continue to believe in the long-term secular
growth story of Suprajit Engineering due to its strong
positioning and dominant leadership in the auto cable
space, but the sharp run-up of close to 45% in the stock
price (the stock was recommended by Sharekhan at Rs73
on April 9, 2014) in less than three months leaves little
scope for any material re-rating of multiples from here.
Thus, it is advisable to take home profits.

DERIVATIVES
Soon after hitting a life-time high at the beginning of the last month,
the market traded in a narrow range and consolidated despite
multiple negative domestic as well as international factors, such as
a delayed monsoon, the depreciation of the rupee to below 60
against the dollar, low participation by foreign institutional
investors, rising crude oil prices due to violence in Iraq and volatile
global equity markets.
On the other hand, there were positive factors too, such as a drop
in the Consumer Price Index, good Index of Industrial Production
numbers and a reduction in the statutory liquidity ratio by the
Reserve Bank of India, which helped the market to hold on to its
gains throughout the month. Finally, June of 2014 concluded on a
positive note with the market gaining an astonishing 5.28% to close
at 7635 odd levels.

After trading in a narrow range in the last month, yesterday the 50share index, Nifty, gave a break-out and hit a life-time high at
around 7750 levels. Ahead of the budget the market is making
fresh highs and the Nifty can move towards 8000 levels.
On the options front, call option strike of 8000 stands with the
highest number of shares in OI followed by strikes of 7800 and
7700 whereas on the put option side, the strike of 7500 stands
with the highest number of shares in OI followed by the strike of
7000 with a put/call ratio of 0.79, which has seen a marginal up
move in the last few trading sessions.
With all eyes on the first budget of the National Democratic Alliance
government which will be announced on July 10, 2014, the July
series commenced the first trading session on a positive note. It
started the month with Rs11,109 crore in Nifty futures vs Rs11,650
crore in the previous series; Rs55,183 crore in stock futures vs
Rs52,276 crore in the previous series; Rs59,847 crore in index
options vs Rs61,208 crore in the previous series; and Rs4,725 crore
in stock options vs Rs4,239 crore in the previous series.

Crude oil prices rallied 2.59% in June this year on supply concerns as the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIS) stormed Iraq. Iraqs oil
production was at 3.3mbpd in April, which was compensating for the 90% production loss in Libya to some extent. This attack on Iraq
comes at a time when the Russia-Ukraine issue continues to simmer. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil slipped after rising to
nearly $108 level as the fighting in Iraq has been concentrated in mostly the north region. Fighting in Iraq hasnt spread to the south, which
is home to more than three-quarters of the countrys output. At the same time, some of the Libyan supply concerns eased as the country will
start shipping from Es Sider and Ras Lanuf at full capacity after taking back control of the ports from the rebels. On the bullish side, the
hurricane season (June-November) in the USA and encouraging US job report could support the prices. As such, experts predict a slightly
below-average hurricane season in the Atlantic this year. Crude oil is likely to trade between $102 and $108 with a bullish bias with major
focus on the developments on geo-political issues.

Gold
Gold prices rallied by over 6% in June this year helped by geo-political concerns coming from Iraq fighting and the Russia-Ukraine tiff. Gold got
the support from the US Federal Reserve (Fed)s low rate stance and the sharp rally in palladium and platinum. The US treasuries too followed
the same macro fundamentals to rally sharply in the first half of the year to almost erase all the losses of the last year. Gold has risen 9.7% in this
year. Hedge funds boosted bullish gold bets to the highest since March in the week to June 24. It means that gold has seen mostly speculative
buying amid lacklustre physical demand from Asia which makes the metal vulnerable. As Indias physical demand is virtually non-existent,
traders would be closely watching if the Indian government relaxes import curbs in its budget to be presented on July 10, 2014. While easing
curbs would bring down gold prices in rupee terms, the metal can get support from an increase in Indian demand eventually. We suggest selling
into rallies on account of a strong US job report, expected weakness in the euro and weak physical demand. Only heightened geo-political issues
would help gold rise sharply from the current levels. The range is likely to be $1,260-1,345 with a downward bias.
Silver
CMP: $21.15(spot)
Encouraging macro-economic indicators out of China and the USA are positive for the metal as industrial demand would pick up;
however, gold bearish factors are applicable to silver too. We look for a range of $19.80 to $21.85 with a downward bias.
Copper
The London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month copper prices rose nearly $400 from the low of the month as Qingdabo Port probe was
seen having a limited impact on the market since the affected tonnage was small relative to the copper market size. Traders turned their
focus on the fast dwindling LME stockpiles and the Chinese economy. The LME inventories fell sharply by around 10% in June this year.
The Chinese governments minor stimulus measures have supported the economy which is positive for the metal. The US demand is
expected to bounce back in the second half after weather-related issues in the first half. Tightness in scrap supply continues but should
ease in the medium term. Chinas Strategic Reserve is rumored to have been buying copper this year. The agency can buy more. The base
metals are entering a seasonally weak demand period. The focus would be on Asian inventories. We expect the metal to trade between
Rs420 and Rs448.
Lead
The global refined lead market is likely to tighten from the second half of 2014. Robust auto sales in China, Europe, Japan, and the USA
are likely to provide support while most of the emerging markets are facing a weaker demand for the metal. The metal is likely to be in
deficit of 60,000 tonne in 2015. We look for a range of Rs127-132 in the near term.
Zinc
Zinc rallied by nearly 8% in June this year as traders focused on the sharply falling LME inventories. Chinas zinc financing activity
bolstered imports which supported zinc prices. A risk to the zinc rally can come from the unreported stocks. We look for a range of
Rs128-137 in the near term.

Nickel
FUNDAMENTALS
Nickel prices were slightly down in June this year as a lumpy delivery of 19,000 tonne and overall stocks rising to a fresh record high
reminded that the market is not that tight in the near term. Still the metal is likely to be volatile considering that traders look for a deficit
by the end of the year due to nickel ore export ban in Indonesia. We look for a price of Rs1,120-1,220.

Impact
PMI rose to five-month high; expanding manufacturing growth remains supportive for
industrial commodities, though HSBC data portrays somewhat bearish picture
Manufacturing sector slowed in June, but still above the 50 mark, thus in expansion;
of late, European data mostly disappointing; the ECB needs to ease further, hence
bearish for euro
Manufacturing activity rose to highest level since May 2010; data supportive for
industrial commodities
Lower than the expected, so somewhat bearish for industrials; however, strong job
data counters it
ECB cut the rates in June, no change this time but ECB stated TLTRO size could be
EUR1tn; ECB's current balance sheet is of EUR1tn; thus, euro to fall in case ECB
acts on its intention
ECB introduced negative interest rates for the first time to discourage banks from
keeping idle funds with ECB; ECB says further technical adjustments possible; this is
a bearish development for the euro
A lower deficit is dollar bullish and gold bearish
Strong reading from ADP raised expectations for the monthly payrolls report;
employment reached milestone in topping US pre-recession peak in May; better than
expected data is bearish for bullions, bullish for dollar and industrial commodities
The jobless rate fell sharply but due to a drop in participation rate; thus only
statistically important; however, US jobless rate now lower than the UK's; overall
bullish implication for dollar
Lower than forecast order signals slowing domestic demand, negative for euro and
industrial commodities
A higher than estimated deficit would weigh on yen
Trade surplus rose to the highest in five years in May; the data is overall supportive
for industrial commodities but traders taking trade balance with a pinch of salt due to
invoicing related issues
A higher deficit would be bearish for pound, however the markets are currently
focusing only on other macro-economic indicators which remain largely supportive for
the pound
No change is expected
Better than expected data would support the dollar and the industrials
Lower than estimated weighs on gold, however notion of easy macro-economic policy
would eventually support the yellow metal
A key indicator to gauge the demand for industrial commodities; a higher number
would be supportive for base metals and crude oil
Q1 growth came in at slowest pace in 18 months; stimulus measures taken by China
showing results; thus, data is expected to be good which would be supportive for
industrial commodities
Larger surplus would be supportive for euro as euro has continued to benefit on surplus
Positive figure would be supportive for industrials
Far below than the target rate of ECB's 2%; pressure mounting on ECB to take
further measures to counter deflationary pressure; euro to fall when the ECB acts
Subdued inflation would force the Fed to remain accommodative for longer which
would be bearish for the dollar
Pick-up in housing sector would boost industrial commodities and the dollar
Better than expected data supportive for the euro and industrials
UK growth looks promising; higher than forecast would be supportive for GBP and
industrial commodities
Higher than forecast would support industrials and be bearish for gold
US economy contracted severely in Q1, the worst decline since 2009; slowing growth
leads to lower demand and is bearish for industrial commodities; however, the market
expects the US economy to gain traction in H2
Fed cut asset purchases for the fifth straight time on recovery of US economy; further
cut in asset purchases to continue, however low rate stance still hurting the dollar
Fed plans to keep its interest rate target low for a considerable time after it ends
bond-buying; this is weighing on the dollar and is supporting gold prices

GBPINR
The Indian Rupee (INR) fell in June this year as a sharp spike in oil prices due to the Iraq crisis raised concerns that high oil prices would
widen the deficit, increase inflation and reduce the possibility of rate cuts. High oil prices would strain both the deficit and the budget.
The country relies on imports for about 80% of the oil it uses. Rating agency CARE estimates that every $10 rise in oil prices would add
100 basis points (BPS) to inflation. A weaker monsoon is an added worry for the currency. The domestic currency has covered some of
the lost ground ahead of the budget in anticipation of positive developments. A recovery in the global equities markets aided by a low rate
stance of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) has also supported the INR. In the meanwhile, the US job data has been pretty strong as the
economy registered 200,000-plus jobs for five straight months. Currency Strategist Brown Brothers Harriman noted that such a streak
has not been recorded since the period September 1999-January 2000. This is surely a dollar bullish development. The Reserve Bank of
India buying dollar at lower levels to increase its reserves would support the US Dollar (USD). We look for a range of 59-61 with an
upward bias for the dollar.
INR-GBP
The GBP-USD pair appreciated nearly 2.50% in June this year on optimism about the UK economy and speculation that the Bank of
England (BoE) would hike rates sooner than the Fed. The sterling appreciated to the strongest level since 2008 versus the dollar. However,
the pair looks overvalued now as the US unemployment rate has fallen below that of the UK and the US employment gain string in the
past five months is really impressive. The $1.72 mark is a strong hurdle for the pound as it served as a resistance level from 1997 to 1998.
We look for a range of Rs100-104.50 for the GBP-INR pair.
INR-EUR
The EUR-INR pair gained in June this year mainly on the rupees weakness against the dollar. The EUR-USD pair traded in a narrow
range of 1.35-1.37 in June and barely moved on a monthly closing basis. The pair has remained on defensive ever since Mario Draghi
opted for negative deposit rates for banks and took further easing measures to support the economy at the European Central Bank
(ECB)s June meeting. In the July meeting, Mr Draghi discussed targeted longer-term refinancing operation (TLTRO) saying that that
banks would be able to borrow up to Eur1 trillion from the central bank, should they smash targets, or benchmarks, set by the ECB. This
is a considerable amount bearing in mind that the ECBs balance sheet is currently close to Eur2 trillion and TLTRO would considerably
affect the ECB/Fed balance sheet ratio. The EUR-USD pair is expected to fall to 1.33 while 1.37 remains a strong resistance. The EURINR pair is likely to trade in the Rs80-82 range with a downward bias.
INR-JPY
The USD-JPY pair continues to trade in a narrow range of 101.20-103.30. A break on either side would generate momentum for a
trend. The Japanese Yen (JPY) is getting support from the notion that the Bank of Japan is unlikely to ease any time soon. Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe said the deflation that wiped out much of Japans growth in the past 15 years has ended and will be thwarted by
new government policies designed to encourage business expansion. The JPY-INR pair is likely to trade in the Rs57.80-60.15 range.

The EUR-INR is trading between the key daily MAs and the
key weekly MAs.
Thus the key support is at 81.34 whereas the key resistance is

The currency pair is likely to trade in this range over the short
term.
Overall, the EUR-INR can test the level of 83.81 over the short

On the flip side, a major support is at 79.90, ie the junction of

Automobiles
Apollo Tyres
Apollo Tyres is the market leader in truck and bus tyre segments with a 28% market share. The management is
expecting strong demand traction in the European operations (particularly the summer tyre segment) and is
gaining a market share in Europe. Further, the domestic operations would see a pick-up in the demand in H2FY2015.
The margins may sustain at higher levels due to subdued raw material prices. The company will be investing
$560mn over the next three years to set up a greenfield facility in Eastern Europe and expand capacity at Chennai
facility. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of Rs210.
Ashok Leyland
Ashok Leyland, the second largest CV manufacturer in India, is a pure CV play. The company has ventured into
LCV space with the launch of Dost in collaboration with Nissan. The MHCV volumes have been under pressure
over the past two years due to a subdued economic environment. The discounts in the system have come down
and the company has managed to take price hikes which propped up margins in Q4FY2014. A strong government
at the centre is expected to focus on growth led by manufacturing and infrastructure sectors which will improve
CV segments volumes. The company has raised Rs660 crore via QIP and is in the process of selling non-core
assets to pare its debts. We have a Buy recommendation on the stock with a price target of Rs39.
Bajaj Auto
Bajaj Auto, a leading two-wheeler maker, is moving up the value chain by concentrating on the executive and
premium motorcycle segments. The company has focused on its Pulsar and Discover brands to establish a strong
presence especially in the premium segment. Additionally, it derives a third of its volumes from exports and has a
strong presence in the SAARC region and Africa. After a loss of market share in FY14, we expect it to claw back
market share in FY15 with the launch of the new Discovers. Exports will continue to drive its overall volumes.
Profitability meanwhile remains strong with industry leading EBITDA margin.
Gabriel India
Gabriel is one of Indias leading manufacturers of shock absorbers and front forks with a diversified customer
base. A pick-up in the volumes post-election in both the PV and CV segments as well as higher growth in the twowheeler segment, increase in market share with HMSI and continued growth in the aftermarket sales are expected
to drive the revenue growth going forward. Moreover, with increasing utilization levels and higher proportion of
revenues from the profitable CV segment, the OPM is expected to expand from 6.6% in FY2013 to 7.9% in
FY2016. Further, a reduction in debt level would lead to higher return ratios, going forward. Therefore, we
recommend a Buy with a price target of Rs56.
M&M
M&M is a leading maker of tractors and UVs in India. Though the automotive demand is under pressure due to
declining demand for UVs and LCVs, but the demand for tractors is growing in strong double digits, thanks to a
normal monsoon and higher minimum support prices. We expect demand for the automobile segment to pick up
with an improvement in customer sentiment. Additionally, new launches especially in the compact UV space will
drive volume growth. Also the tractor segment is expected to grow at 8-10% over the next few years which will
benefit M&M. The value of its subsidiaries adds to its sum-of-the-parts valuation. Higher farm income, strong
rural positioning and lower vulnerability to interest rates make it a proxy play on food inflation.
Maruti Suzuki
TVS Motor
Allahabad Bank
Maruti Suzuki is Indias largest small car manufacturer. Though the demand for diesel cars is witnessing pressure
due to a hike in diesel prices, but the petrol segment is witnessing a recovery due to the narrowing differential
between petrol and diesel prices. It is planning to launch 14 new models over the next five years (including in the
high-value UV space) which would boost its volumes and realisation both. The recent launch of Celerio has been
well received by the market and the vehicle has garnered bookings of 30,000 plus units. The new automatic
manual transmission (AMT) has especially enthused the market. We expect customer sentiment to improve on the
back of a strong government at the centre. Additionally the PV segment is expected to benefit from the pent-up
demand over the past two years and will benefit Maruti Suzuki most due to its high market share in the entry level
segment. We remain positive on the stock with a price target of Rs2,740.
TVS Motor is the fourth largest two-wheeler manufacturer in the country with a strong presence in the scooter
segment. The scooter segment has grown at a CAGR of 25% over the past five years as opposed to 12% CAGR
in motorcycles and currently contributes 25% of the total two-wheeler volumes. With the launch of the Jupiter in
October 2013, the company has balanced its scooter portfolio and witnessed incremental volumes. Exports,
especially of three wheelers, are doing extremely well. We expect a margin expansion of 40-50BPS over FY201416. We have a Buy on the stock with a price target of Rs175.
Banks & Finance
With a wide network of over 2,800 branches spread across India, Allahabad Bank enjoys a stronghold in north and east
India. But it has reported a rise in slippages resulting in deterioration of its asset quality. The bank has relatively higher
proportion of stressed loans among its peers and low tier-I CAR is also a cause for concern.
Andhra Bank
Andhra Bank, with a wide network of over 2,100 branches across the country, has a strong presence in south
India especially in Andhra Pradesh. Though it is trading at an attractive valuation, but the concerns on asset
quality front and the political situation within the state could affect its operations.
Axis Bank
Axis bank continues to grow faster than the industry and is diversifying its book in favour of retail segment. The
banks liability profile has improved significantly which would help to sustain margins at healthy levels. We
expect the earnings growth to remain reasonably strong driven by a healthy operating performance while asset
quality pressures will be manageable.

Bajaj Finance
Bajaj Finance, owned by Bajaj Finserv, is one of the most diversified NBFCs in the country and biggest bank
assurance partner for Bajaj Allianz Insurance. It has assets spread across products, viz loans for consumer durables,
two- and three-wheelers, loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), mortgage loans, commercial loans etc. It
has a dominant market share in the consumer finance segment.
Bajaj Finserv
Bajaj Finserv is a financial conglomerate having presence in financing business (vehicle finance, consumer finance
and distribution) and is among the top players in life insurance and general insurance. Its consumer finance
business (Bajaj Finance) and general insurance business reported a robust performance. The life insurance business
is showing signs of a pick-up after being affected by a change in regulations.
Bank of Baroda
Bank of Baroda is among the top public sector banks (PSBs) having a sizeable overseas presence (102 offices in 24
countries) and a strong network of over 4,800 branches across the country. It has a stronghold in western and
eastern India. Its performance metrics remain superior to that of the other PSBs, though the asset quality trends
will be the key monitorable.
Bank of India
Bank of India has a network of over 4,600 branches, spread across the country and abroad, along with a diversified
product and services portfolio, and steadily growing assets. The operating performance has weakened due to
margin deterioration. Further, the rising stress on the asset quality and relatively weaker capital position constrain
balance sheet growth.
Capital First
Capital First (erstwhile Future Capital Holdings) has been acquired by global private equity firm, Warburg Pincus
(a 72% stake). The present management has taken several initiatives to tap the high-growth retail product segments,
like gold loans, loan against property and loan against shares. It has a strong CAR and sound asset quality. Its
loan book is expected to more than double to over Rs10,000 crore in the next three years. However, the shift to
conservative accounting and investment in new businesses could affect the profitability over the next few quarters.
Corp Bank
Corporation Bank is a mid-sized PSB having a relatively higher presence in south India. It is predominantly
exposed to the corporate segment, which constitutes about 44% of its book. Due to a higher dependence on the
wholesale business and a low CASA ratio, it lags its peers in terms of operational performance. Also, the rise in
NPAs could keep provisioning high and weaken earnings performance.
Federal Bank
Federal Bank is among the better performing old private sector banks in India with a strong presence in south
India, especially Kerala. Under the new management, the bank has taken several initiatives, which would improve
the quality of its earnings and asset book. The asset quality has consistently improved in past few quarters and the
operating performance is picking up gradually.
HDFC
HDFC is among the top mortgage lenders providing housing loans to individuals, corporates and developers. It
has interests in banking, asset management and insurance through its key subsidiaries. As these subsidiaries are
growing faster than HDFC, the value contributed by them would be significantly higher going forward. Due to
dominant market share and consistent return ratios, it trades at a premium to the other NBFCs.
HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank was established in 1994 as part of the liberalisation of the Indian banking industry by the RBI. The
bank continues to report a strong growth in advances with focus on the retail segment. Its relatively high margins
(compared with its peers), strong branch network and better asset quality make HDFC Bank a safe bet. However,
delay in FIPB approval for increase in foreign investment limit remains a near-term concern.
ICICI Bank
ICICI Bank is Indias largest private sector bank with a network of over 3,700 branches in India and a presence in
around 18 countries. The bank has once again entered an expansionary mode after making a conscious effort to
contract its advances book due to asset quality concerns. The operating profit improved significantly and is the
key driver of the earnings growth. The bank offers substantial value unlocking opportunities from the insurance
and securities businesses.
IDBI Bank
IDBI Bank is one of leading PSBs of India. It is gradually working towards improving its liability base and expanding
the retail book which is likely to reflect in the form of better margins and return ratios. However, due to rising
asset quality risks, low tier-I CAR and slower business growth, the stock is likely to underperform in the near term.
LIC Housing
LICHFL is the third largest mortgage financier (including banks) in India with a market share of 11% and loan
book of over Rs90,000 crore. It is promoted by Life Insurance Corporation of India, which is the largest insurance
provider in India. With over 200 branches, 1,241 direct sales agents, 6,535 home loan agents and 782 customer
relationship associates, the company has among the strongest distribution structures in India to support business
expansion. Going ahead, a revival in the economy and moderation in the borrowing rates could be the key triggers
for the stock. Therefore, considering stable RoE of 18-20%, sound asset quality and healthy growth outlook, the
valuation seems reasonable.
PNB
Punjab National Bank has one of the best liability mixes in the banking space, with low-cost deposits constituting
around 40% of its total deposits. This helps it to maintain one of the highest margins in the sector. A strong
liability franchise and technology focus will help the bank to increase its core lending operations and fee income
related-businesses. In view of the weakness in the economy and relatively higher exposure to troubled sectors, the
asset quality stress may remain in the near term.

PFS
PTC India Financial Services, owned by PTC India, is focused on providing financial solutions to projects in the
energy value chain. Given the robust lending opportunities in the renewable energy segment and likely reforms in
thermal power segment, the company expects to double its loan book over next 12-15 months. With nil net NPAs,
its asset quality remains among the best in the system.
SBI
Union Bank
State Bank of India is the largest bank of India with loan assets of over Rs12 lakh crore. The loan growth for
FY2014 was in line with the industry average while the core operating performance was relatively strong. The
successful merger of the associate banks and value unlocking from insurance business could provide further upside
for the bank. While the bank is favourably placed in terms of liability base and the operating profits is also
improving, the asset quality would remain a key monitorable in the near term.
Union Bank of India has a strong branch network and an all-India presence. The bank aspires to become the
largest retail bank. Hence, it has ramped up its manpower and infrastructure to ramp up retail, SME lending.
However, rising stressed loans and weak capital ratios remain concerns with the bank.
Yes Bank
Bajaj Corp
GSK Consumers
GSK Consumer Healthcare is a leading player in the MFD segment with a close to 70% share in the domestic market.
Judicious new launches and brand extensions, and the expansion of its distribution reach have helped it to stay ahead
of the competition and maintain its pricing power over the years. In a bid to de-risk its business model, it has expanded
its product portfolio by entering into new categories such as biscuits, noodles, energy bars, sports drinks and oats in
the recent years. With cash balance of close to Rs1,700 crore the company can invest in growth initiatives as well as
reward its investors with a healthy dividend payment.
GCPL
Godrej Consumer Products is a major player in personal wash, hair colour and household insecticide market
segments in India. The recent acquisitions of Darling Group, Tura, Megasari and Latin American companies have
helped the company to expand its geographic footprint. We believe the decent sales volume growth in the domestic
business coupled with a strong growth in the Indonesian, African and Argentine businesses would help it to
achieve 18% CAGR top line growth and 20% bottom line growth over FY14-16.
HUL
Hindustan Unilever is Indias largest FMCG company. The subdued volume growth due to the uncertain and
inflationary environment is likely to sustain the pressure on its profitability in the near term. Overall, we expect its
bottom line to grow at a CAGR of around 10% over FY14-16. The stocks current premium valuation does not
justify the true business fundamentals of the company. Hence we recommend a Reduce rating on the stock. In the
long term, it will be one of the key beneficiaries of the Indian consumerism story.
ITC
ITC has a strategy of effectively utilising the excess cash generated from its cash cow, the cigarette business, to
strengthen and enhance its other non-cigarette businesses. This would nurture the growth of these businesses some
of which are at a nascent stage. Thus, the company will deliver a sustained and steady growth in the coming years.
Jyothy Labs
Jyothy Laboratories is the market leader in the fabric whitener segment in India. With the successful integration of
Henkel and the induction of a new management team led by S Raghunanadan, it is transforming itself from a onebrand wonder to an aggressive FMCG player. We expect its top line to grow at a CAGR of 22%. A strong
improvement in the OPM would help the company to achieve an exponential growth in bottom line over FY201316. We have a Buy rating on the stock with a price target of Rs250.
Marico
Marico is among Indias leading FMCG companies. Its core brands, Parachute and Saffola, have a strong footing
in the market. It follows a three-pronged strategy which hinges on expansion of its existing brands, launch of new
product categories (especially in the beauty and wellness space) and growth through acquisitions. While the domestic
product portfolio is likely to achieve a steady growth in volumes, the international business is now gaining
momentum on the back of an increase in distribution and strong performance by the core brands.
Mcleod Russel
Mcleod Russel is the worlds largest tea producer with an annual tea production of close to 100mn kg having tea
estates in India and Africa. Its FY14 performance was affected by a flat realisation due to excess production of tea
in India and Africa. However, in FY15 the realisations are expected to go up due to expectations of lower tea
production in Africa which might result in a better earnings growth. We currently have a Hold on the stock and
keenly monitor the tea production in Africa and India.
Yes Bank, a new generation private bank, started its operations in November 2004 and is the only greenfield bank
approved by the RBI in the last decade. The bank is promoted by Rana Kapoor and Ashok Kapur. It follows a
unique business model based on knowledge banking, which offers product depth and a sustainable competitive
edge over established banking players. While the operating performance remains healthy, recent capital raising
will increase the balance sheet growth over the next couple of years.
Consumer goods
Bajaj Corp is the third largest player in the hair oil segment and has emerged as the dominant player in the
premium light hair oil category with its Almond Drops hair oil. The company recently acquired the Nomarks
brand. The acquisition will add value to its product portfolio and help it upgrade from a single-brand company to
a multi-brand company, thereby improving its growth prospects in the long run. Currently Bajaj Corp is bearing
the brunt of limited product portfolio and overall slowdown in the light hair oil market.

TGBL
Tata Global Beverages (formerly Tata Tea) is in the process of transforming itself from a commoditised tea and
coffee company into a high-margin beverage company. With regards to this it has undertaken several strategic
initiatives (including a 50:50 JV with PepsiCo and a tie-up with Kerala Ayurveda). Also, its JV with Starbucks
would help it to explore opportunities in the coffee retailing space. The company has aggressive plans but we
believe it will take sometime for it to mould itself into a high-margin and high-RoE FMCG company. We have a
Reduce rating on it.
Zydus Wellness
CMC
Firstsource
Zydus Wellness is bearing the brunt of a limited product portfolio of three brands (Nutralite, Sugar Free and
Everyuth) that cater to a niche category. Though the new distribution system is expected to bring a better revenue
performance from H2FY2015, we do not expect the revenue growth rates to improve significantly due to the
limited product portfolio and competitive pressures. We expect Zydus Wellness top line and bottom line to grow
at a CAGR of 9% and 7% over FY2013-16 respectively. We have a Reduce rating on it.
IT/IT services
Over the years, CMC has gradually transformed itself from a low-margin equipment provider into a well-diversified
IT services and solutions provider. Its joint-go-to-market strategy with TCS is also playing a big role in the business
transformation, with CMC gaining a strong traction in the international markets. We believe CMC has already set
the stage for the next level of growth and is likely to witness a much stronger growth in the coming years.
Firstsource Solutions is a specialized BPO service provider. It has scripted a remarkable turn-around from being
on the brink of a financial burn-out to being an operationally sound company with a large scope for further
improvement. The health of its balance sheet (which was one of the prime concerns) is improving gradually as the
company is gradually reducing its debt burden through internal accruals. The revenue visibility remains strong as
the existing top clients continue to be in good shape while operational efficiencies and reduction in interest expenses
due to lower debt augur well for the earnings growth trajectory in FY15 and FY16.
HCL Tech
HCL Technologies is one of the leading Indian IT service vendors. It has reported consistent financial performance
in the past several quarters on the back of a ramp-up in business from the large deals bagged earlier and strong
momentum in the IMS space. It continues to demonstrate a strong growth visibility with a robust backlog of deals
and successful execution with market share gain strategy through vendor churns/consolidation. We remain positive
on the company in view of its order wins and superior earnings visibility. The company remains the least affected
by the impending US immigration bill as compared with its large-cap peers.
Infosys
Infosys is India's premier IT and IT-enabled services company. We believe that top level exits and lower predictability
of growth (currently lagging peers) is weighing on the companys performance. Nevertheless, the valuations seem
reasonable at the moment and a much better operating environment in the USA and Europe give us confidence of an
improved growth momentum post the completion of transition period.
NIIT Tech
With its strong domain expertise in a few niche verticals and competitive advantage in terms of significant
contribution from its non-linear initiatives, NIIT Technologies is well placed to benefit from the overall improvement
in the demand environment. In order to leverage opportunities from the improving operating environment, the
company has made nine senior level recruitments in the last two years. Under the new COO (Sudhir Chaturvedi)
it has shifted its focus from hardware intensive and margin dilutive deals to strengthening the key verticals of
travel and transport and BFSI which will augur well for its revenue trajectory and margins in FY2015-16.
Persistent
Persistent Systems has proven expertise in the OPD space, a strong presence in the newer technologies, strength to
improve its IP base and the best-in-the-class margin profile which sets it apart from the other mid-cap IT companies.
We maintain our confidence due to an optimistic management outlook driven by acceleration in the product
engineering services business, new technologies and increased momentum in the IP space after consolidating the
HP Client Automation revenues.
TCS
Tata Consultancy Services pioneered the IT services outsourcing business in India and is the largest IT service firm
in the country. It is a leader in most service offerings and has further consolidated its leadership through the
inorganic route. With a strong base it is well placed to garner incremental deals across sectors. Its consistent
quarterly performance (better than peers) coupled with the higher predictability of its earnings would keep it the
Streets favourite counter in the IT space.
Wipro
Bajaj Electricals
Wipro is one of the leading Indian IT service companies. It has lagged the other IT biggies in terms of performance
for several quarters. The leadership and organisational changes that the company had adopted a couple of years
ago have just started to show tangible results which is reflected in the positive management commentary.
Additionally, the overall improvement in the demand environment bodes well for the companys revenue visibility.
Capital goods/Power
Bajaj Electricals, a lighting and consumer goods company, suffered heavily in the past due to loss in the E&P business.
However, this business is showing signs of a turn-around, with the induction of a new head and several steps taken to
improve profitability. The loss in the E&P business was very high and it was relatively capital intensive, so recovery in
the E&P business would have a dramatic impact on its earnings growth and return ratios. The earnings could grow by
7x and RoE could swell from 4% to 22% during FY2013-16. Therefore, there is scope for re-rating and recommend a
Hold with a price target of Rs350. In the meanwhile, the consumer and lighting segments would continue to see a
healthy growth, though the margin will remain soft.

BHEL
Bharat Heavy Electricals, Indias biggest power equipment manufacturer, has been the prime beneficiary of the multifold increase in the investments made in the domestic power sector over the last few years. However, the order inflow
has been showing signs of slowing down which would remain a major concern for the company. The key challenge
before the company now would be to maintain a robust order inflow and margin amid rising competition and lower
order inflow. The current order book of Rs101,538 crore stands at around 2.5x FY2014 sales.
CESC
CESC is the power distributor in Kolkata and Howrah (backed by 1,225MW of power generation capacity) which
is a strong cash generating business. Further, it is adding 1,200MW of generation capacity which would be on
stream by FY2015. However, on account of the concerns related to the losses from its retail business (Spencers),
the stock is trading at a discount to its peers. On the contrary, the retail business has started exhibiting a storelevel profit since FY11 and is likely to break even at the operating level in FY15 which is a silver lining. Again, its
new subsidiary, FirstSource, is expected to do well. We remain positive on CESC and retain our Buy recommendation.
Crompton Greaves Crompton Greaves key businessesindustrial and power systemshold a high potential in view of the investment
opportunities in the power transmission and distribution sector. Its consumer products segment is expected to
witness a high growth. Though the domestic operations remain relatively stable, but the international operations
went through a restructuring. While the European subsidiaries are on recovery path post-restructuring, the
subsidiaries in Canada and the USA are yet to turn positive. However, the management expects a turn-around
soon. Hence, we remain positive on this stock.
Finolex Cables
Finolex Cables, a leading manufacturer of power and communications cables, is set to benefit from an improving
demand environment in its core business of cables and leveraging its brand strength to build a high-margin consumer
product business (of switchgears, lamps etc). However, due to its derivative exposure in the past, it suffered losses
followed by valuation de-rating. More importantly, there is no more exposure hence the overhang of the derivative
should fade away. Further supported by margin improvement and expected earnings growth of 14% (CAGR)
during FY14-16, could trigger re-rating. Hence, we are valuing the core business at 12x the average of FY2016
and FY2017 earnings estimates and valuing the company's stake in Finolex Industries at Rs60 a share (a 30%
holding discount)to arrive at a revised price target of Rs285. We maintain Buy recommendation on the stock.
Greaves Cotton
Greaves Cotton is a mid-sized and well-diversified engineering company. Its core competencies are in diesel/petrol
engines, power gensets, agro engines, pump sets (engine segment) and construction equipment (infrastructure
equipment segment). The engine business accounts for 85% of its revenues while the rest comes from infrastructure
equipment. The foray in the mini tractor segment and international markets would open new growth avenues.
Though the near-term performance could remain weak, we expect a considerable improvement in the earnings on
the back of a revival in the automobile and industrial engine segments in H2FY15. We are downgrading Greaves
Cotton to Reduce rating (near-term pain and heady valuations) with the price target of Rs85.
Kalpataru
Kalpataru Power Transmission is a leading EPC player in the transmission & distribution space in India.
Opportunities in this space are likely to grow significantly, thereby providing healthy growth visibility (also current
consol order book is 1.6x its FY2014 sales). The OPM of the stand-alone business is likely to remain around 9%.
The OPM of JMC Projects (a subsidiary) is showing signs of improvement after a significant drop in the last two
years. We retain our Buy rating.
PTC India
PTC India is a leading power trading company in India with a market share of 39% in FY2013 in the short-term
trading market. In the last few years, the company has made substantial investments in areas like power generation
projects and power project financing which will start contributing to its earnings. There is a major positive
development as pending receivables from UPSEB was received by the company recently. Pending receivables was
one of the drags on the companys balance sheet and returns ratios. We retain Buy due to positive developments
and attractive valuation.
Thermax
The energy and environment businesses of Thermax are direct beneficiaries of the continuous rise in India Incs
capex. Thermax group book stands at Rs6,121 crore, which is 1.2x its FY2014 consolidated revenues. However,
the company has shown its ability to maintain a double-digit margin in a tough environment. The management
sounded positive with a likely recovery in industrial capex cycle. However, the current valuation is ahead of
fundamentals at 31x FY16 EPS.
V Guard Ind
Gayatri Proj
V-Guard Industries is an established brand in the electrical and household goods space, particularly in south
India. Over the years, it has successfully ramped up its operation and network to become a multi-product company.
It has recently also forayed into regions other than the south and is particularly focusing on the tier-II and III cities
where there is a lot of pent-up demand for its products. We expect a CAGR of 23% in its earnings over FY201416 and RoE of 24% during this period.
Infrastructure/Real estate
Gayatri Projects is a Hyderabad-based infrastructure company with a very strong presence in irrigation, road and
industrial construction businesses. The order book stands at Rs 7,206 crore, which is 3.6x its FY2013 revenues. It
is also expanding its power and road BOT portfolio and plans to unlock value by offloading stake to private
equity. The company has potential to transform itself into a bigger
IL&FS Trans
IL&FS Transportation Networks is Indias largest player in the BOT road segment with a pan-India presence and
a diverse project portfolio. The fair mix of annuity and toll projects, and state and NHAI projects along with the
geographical diversification across 12 states reduce the risk to a large extent and provide comfort. Further, a
strong pedigree along with the outsourcing of civil construction activity helps it to scale up its portfolio faster.
Thus, it is well equipped to capitalise on the huge and growing opportunity in the road infrastructure sector.

the BOT asset. Further, it has a profitable portfolio as majority of its operational projects have become debt-free

Jaiprakash Asso
Jaiprakash Associates, Indias leading cement and construction company, is all set to reap the benefits of Indias

The marked improvement in the macro environment has improved accessibility to capital and thus eased the
concerns of liquidity to some extent. However, higher leverage could act as drag on the valuation.
L&T
Larsen & Toubro, being the largest engineering and construction company in India, is a direct beneficiary of the
domestic infrastructure capex cycle. The strong potential of its international business, its sound execution track record
and bulging order book, and the strong performance of subsidiaries further reinforce our faith in it. Recent measures
planned by the company to improve its return ratios augur well. Hence, we remain positive on the stock.
Pratibha Ind
Pratibha Industries is a dominant player in water & irrigation and urban infrastructure segments. It has also diversified
into other high-margin areas like road BOT, power and oil & gas. The current order book stands at Rs8,000 crore,
which is 3.7x its FY2013 revenues. The company is facing margin pressure and higher interest expenditure on account
of the rising debt to finance working capital needs. We currently remain cautious and await positive developments
in terms of debt and working capital requirements.

Punj Lloyd is the second largest EPC player in the country with a global presence. However, since FY2009 the
profitability has come under severe pressure due to cost overruns/ liquidated damages in some of Simon Carves (a

technology intensive products in the inhalation and nasal spray segments; (2) established front-end presence in the
key markets like South Africa and Europe; (3) developed an appetite for inorganic expansions; (4) decided to tap
the FTF opportunities through collaboration with major generic players in the regulated markets and (5) invested
in future growth areas like biosimilars. Though consolidation of CiplaMedpro would hurt earnings in the short
term, but the base business would continue to grow steadily, the growth would be fast-tracked in H2FY2015 on
the back of the launch of combination inhalers in Europe, ramp-up in generics in the USA and synergy from
consolidation.
Dishman Pharma Dishman Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals is a key player engaged in CRAMS and specialty chemical businesses. It
has invested heavily over the past four years (over Rs1,000 crore capex during FY2008-11) to establish a strong
foothold in the CRAMS, API and vitamin-D businesses. After witnessing four years of sluggish performance due
to a global slowdown (that affected the CRAMS business) and heavy capex (that resulted in a sharp rise in the
fixed costs), it is all set to record a strong operating performance on the back of enhanced capacities, the up cycle
in the CRAMS business and a substantial reduction in the debt/equity ratio due to stronger free cash flow.
Divis Labs
The new DSN SEZ facility at Vishakhapatnam that started in June 2011 augurs well for Divis Laboratories. The
company is likely to see an improvement in economies of scale which will also lead to tax benefits after USFDA
approvals for three additional production blocks expected to come in Q2FY2015. A near debt-free balance sheet
and strong cash flow are likely to help build a war chest for pursuing strategic investments (biosimilars) and
exploit the growth opportunities in niche segments, like oncology and steroids for contraceptives.
Glenmark Pharma
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals exhibited an impressive operating performance during FY2013 in the core business on
key generic launches. Though, higher R&D expenses and tax payments restricted the profit growth. Through the
successful development and out-licencing of six molecules in a short span of eight years, it has become Indias best
play on research-led innovation. It has built a pipeline of 14 molecules and clinched six out-licencing deals worth
$1,672 million (active deals worth $938). It has received over $200 million as initial milestone payment. Its core
business has seen stupendous success due to its focus on niche specialties. We are confident of its long-term
growth prospects.
Ipca Lab
Ipca Laboratories has successfully capitalised on its inherent strength of producing low-cost drugs to tap the
export markets. Its ongoing efforts in the branded formulations business in the emerging economies, the revival in
the UK operations, the pan-European initiatives, the likely approval of one additional product under institutional
business and a significant scale-up in the US business will drive its formulation exports. It has received USFDAs
approval for the Indore SEZ (US supplies expected in Q1FY2015) which would help ramp up the sales in the USA.
J B Chemicals
Two years after selling the OTC business in Russia and CIS, JB Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals has reestablished
itself in the export market while retaining leadership in the domestic branded formulation market. A major chunk
of the proceeds from the sale of the OTC business has stayed in its balance sheet while the operating performance
of the company has improved in recent quarters. We expect the company to fast forward growth rates on the back
of focus on regulated markets like the USA. The utlisation of surplus cash of over Rs480 crore would provide the
key trigger to the stock.
Lupin
The expected ramp-up in the launch of oral contraceptives, ophthalmic products, branded franchise (with addition
of in-licenced product-Alinia and Locoid lotion) in the USA and a robust pipeline of new launches in the domestic
and overseas markets provide strong growth visibility for Lupin. Further, with an expanded field force and therapy
focused marketing division, its formulation business in the domestic market has been performing better than the
industry. The deal with Eli-Lilly to distribute human insulin would open an incremental revenue stream for Lupin
in the Indian market.

excellent business model, as has been reflected in the 42% Y-o-Y revenue growth and 59% profit growth in

Grasim is better placed compared with the other large players in the cement space due to its strong balance sheet,

in FY2015.
Shree Cement
Shree Cements cement grinding capacity has grown to 18.2mtpa which will support its volume growth in the

UltraTech Cement is Indias largest cement company with approximately 52mtpa cement capacity. It has benefited
from an improvement in its market mix. Further, the ramping-up of the new capacity and savings accruing from

play on the Indian media and entertainment industry.
Indian Hotels Co
Indian Hotels is the largest hotelier in India with a vast portfolio of hotel properties around the globe. Though, the
macro-economic environment remains challenging for the hotel industry in the immediate term, we are enthused by

Kewal Kiran Clothing is a branded apparel play with four brands in its kitty. Killer, its flagship denim brand, has

a robust balance sheet position put it in a sweet spot.
Raymond
Raymond is present in the fast-growing discretionary & lifestyle category of branded textiles and apparels. With
growing incomes, rise in aspirations to lead a luxurious life, greater discretionary spending and favourable
demographics, the segment of branded apparels & fabrics presents a good growth opportunity and Raymond with
its brands and superior distribution set-up is very well geared to encash the same. Any development with regard to

significant cash to the company.
Relaxo Footwear Relaxo Footwear is present in the fast-growing footwear category, wherein it caters to customers with its four topof-the-mind-recall brands, viz, Hawaii, Sparx, Flite and Schoolmate. It has emerged as an attractive investment

Speciality Rest.
Speciality Restaurants is a leading player in the fine-dining space with a portfolio of well-established brands such
as Mainland China and Sigree. It is a good proxy on the Indian consumption story as several factors such as
demographics, increasing disposable income and the trend of nuclear families are playing in its favour. Given the
strong brand franchisee, an improving outlook on the margin and a broadening of the valuation gap with comparable
listed peers, we maintain our Hold rating on the stock.
Sun TV Network Sun TV is the undisputed leader in the south Indian TV entertainment market. The broadcasters are one of key
beneficiaries of the mandatory digitisation process initiated by the government as its implementation is expected

company also enjoys a 30% market share of the total south Indian advertising market making it one of the
dominant players in the industry. Given the upside potential from the DAS regime and a gradual recovery in
advertising, we believe Sun TVs growth prospects look favourable going ahead.
Zee Entertainment
Zee Entertainment Enterprises, part of the Essel group, is one of India's leading TV media and entertainment
companies. It has a bouquet of 34 channels across Hindi, regional, sports and lifestyle genres. It is best placed to benefit
from the digital addressable system regime rolled out by the government. The recent demerger of the media business
of Diligent Media Corporation Ltd (a group company) and its vesting with ZEEL gives the company access to one
additional GEC licence for a nominal consideration of Rs2.6 crore (which is an outgo related to preferential allotment)
and tax assets worth Rs314 crore, which have potential to reduce the companys tax rates in the next two to three
years from the present rate of 33%. The recent regulatory change of capping the advertising time on TV to 12 minutes
per hour remains a neutral development for the company as it will be able to increase its advertisement rates to negate
the fall in advertisement volumes.
