A Cleverly Balanced Budget

The Union Budget for FY2007-08 announced by Finance Minister P Chidambaram in


a nutshell is targeted more towards Rural India and aimed at controlling inflationary
We rate budget as positive and
pressures within the Indian Economy. As mentioned by us in our Pre- Budget Report,
good balancing excercise
the FM has strongly focused on Agriculture, Infrastructure, Public Health and Education
which continue to be the foundation blocks of the economy.

Agriculture has been accorded a big boost in this years budget with the FM increasing
the total planned outlay here by 28.6% to Rs 225 bn with the Bharat Nirman and

other hand the outlay on Education has been increased by 34.2% YoY to Rs 323.5
bn while for Public Heath services the plan outlay is up by 21.9% from last year to Rs
152.91 bn.

In terms of revenue raising measures, the 1% education cess and the increase in
dividend distribution tax from 12.5% to 15% have come as small negative surprises
Education cess increased to 3%
for the capital markets. On the other hand allowing short selling settlements by
from 2%
delivery and securities lending by institutions as well as allowing corporates to unlock
value in group companies via issue of Exchangeable Bonds is a welcome step.

On a Sectorial basis the Cement sector became the whipping boy for the FM in his
bid to control inflationary pressures arising from rising cement prices. What surprises
us is that a differential excise duty structure based on retail cement price of Rs 190
per bag is unlikely to curtail inflationary trends. In fact looking at the current trend in
cement prices (Rs 240 per bag prevailing in Mumbai and Rs 210 in Chennai) the
cement manufacturers are in no mood to cut prices.

Also the IT sector has now come under the tax regime by the FM for the first time.
While there is no doubt that IT services continue to grow rapidly and contribute
handsomely to the services segment, the fact remains that IT now is no longer the
blue eyed boy which continued to enjoy exemptions earlier.

We believe that higher plan outlays for Agriculture and Infrastructure in this budget
should ensure that the GDP growth rate does not slow down. Our belief is that GDP
growth in the medium term would be driven largely by the Manufacturing and Service
sectors. The FM has however done a commendable job by infusing the much-needed
financial discipline with FY07 revenue and fiscal deficits estimated at a around 2%
and 3.7% respectively.

From a common man’s perspective this Budget has addressed basic issues like
providing of drinking water facilities, roads, sanitation, employment opportunities etc
but has largely been a non event for the Indian corporate sector except for minor
tinkering in certain key sectors.

We hence rate this Union Budget for FY2007-08 as a balanced exercise targeted
largely at Rural India and the common masses wherein efforts have been made to
ensure financial stability for corporates with a clear focus on macro issues like
controlling inflation and price increases in essential commodities.

Agriculture to be a big focus area Agriculture – Big Focus Area


The government’s focus on the Agriculture sector is quite obvious as almost 60% of
our population still depends on agriculture as its livelihood. While acknowledging the
fact that average growth in Agriculture was 2.3% in the 10th Five year plan was below
expectations, the 11 th Five Year Plan has targeted an average agriculture YoY growth
of 4%.

We believe that there are three important reasons for the increased focus on agriculture
n A large part of population still lives on agriculture and increase in their incomes
would induce overall consumption of goods and services
n Huge opportunity in food processing as India has an enviable position in most of
the agri-products
As mentioned earlier Agriculture which used to previously account for a sizeable
chunk (around 24% in 2001) of the GDP has seen its share drop to 18.5% in FY07
and has seen a volatile uneven trend after its peak 10% growth in FY2004. Hence
going ahead the renewed initiatives announced for Agriculture in this budget specifically
with regard to increased plan outlays creation of irrigational facilities, creation of
water management cells, improved production due to better utilisation of seeds and
fertilizers should ensure a sustainable growth in agriculture. We believe that food
processing industry would be major beneficiaries of the sustained agriculture credit.

Infrastructure Spending to accelerate further —


During FY06, both savings rate and capital formation rates have remained impressive
at levels of 32.4% and 33.8% respectively. We believe that Infrastructure creation is
critical and unless we keep the pace of capital formation at around 30%, it would be
difficult to sustain the growth rate of GDP at 7 to 8% plus. In this Budget, Roads,
Infrastructure spending to see a big power, telecom and drinking water projects have been accorded higher plan outlays
boost which all promise a better infrastructure base ahead. We hence believe that Power
Projects, roads and water projects are the clear beneficiaries of the Budget. The
power sector will benefit from the expected new ultra mega projects, besides the
Golden Quadrilateral project is also fast moving towards completion. On the other
hand the water and Irrigation projects will not only benefit construction companies
but also the domestic capital goods players as well as pumps and generator set
manufacturers.

Fiscal health continues to be in good shape –


The Indian economy is in the midst of its best ever growth phase, with the GDP
growth as per the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) likely to grow by 9.2% in
FY07E from 8.99% recorded last year. What makes this growth look more re-assuring
is that it has come off on a higher base from the previous year which makes it the 4 th
consecutive year since 2004 onwards of sustained higher GDP growth for the economy.
The health of the Indian Economy A major driver to this growth has been the Manufacturing Sector which contributes
continues to be robust around 25% of the GDP and grew by 11.3% as compared to 9.3% last year, followed
by other sectors like construction, hotels, transport etc

On the back of a buoyant economy, the government is aiming to raise its tax revenues
from Rs.3459.7 bn to Rs.4038.7 bn, an increase of 16.7%. However, overall receipts
are likely to grow by 10.9%. Tighter control on non-Plan expenditure will ensure that
it does not go up beyond 16.3% of revised estimates for FY07. On the other hand,
Plan expenditure has been increased to Rs. 2051 bn, up by 18.7%.

This leaves the government with a fiscal deficit of Rs. 1409.5 bn i.e. 3.3% of GDP as
compared to 3.7% in FY07 as per revised estimates. The Fiscal deficit is targeted at
3.3% of GDP while revenue deficit is targeted at 1.5%, down from 2% on the revised
Fiscal deficit as percentage to GDP FY07E. We also observe that government borrowings are estimated to reduce by
is 3.3% as per revised estimates 0.9% to Rs.1509.5 bn. This is largely positive and with a large part of capital
expenditure going in for asset formation, it is likely to yield positive results in the
medium-to-long-term perspective.

Bharat Nirman… continued thrust on Infrastructure


creation –
The government has continued its thrust on improving the Agriculture growth of rural
India by reinforcing higher commitment for the six components of Bharat Nirman.
Bharat Nirman Programme Overall outlay has been increased by a whopping 54% from Rs.122bn to Rs.187bn.
aggresively pushed by the On the other hand we also expect that since FY08E is the first year of the 11 th Five
government Year Plan (2008-2013) which envisages huge investments in roads, power and other
infrastructure projects is likely to witness a significant rise in expenditure on
infrastructure sectors. The Bharat Nirman Programme has continued to get continued
focus from the government since we believe that these programmes would not only
help the common man but also provide a big opportunity for corporate India.

Public Health & Education – the other two foundation


blocks
We believe that, the other two important foundation blocks of the Indian economy
namely Public Health and Education have rightly been given due importance in this
budget. This is even more important if we note that India would have the largest
working population in the years to come. A healthy and educated population would,
therefore, be very important contributor to the economy, which will make the growth
rate sustainable in long-term.

As earlier stated by us in our Pre Budget report, that more than the changes in
taxes and tariffs, the focus of the FM would largely be on the tax reforms and
simplified processes. Overall tax collection has shown a healthy trend so far and
the tax-to-GDP ratio, which is estimated to be at 10.5% for FY06 & is further expected
Tax to GDP ratio improves to 11.4% to touch 11.4% in FY07.
in FY07 from 10.5% earlier
Tax Proposals:

Indirect Taxes –
In line with aligning the customs duty and bringing it at par with the ASEAN levels,
peak customs duty has been reduced from 12.5% to 10%. Despite reduction in
Peak Import duty cut to 10% from peak customs duty, overall custom collection is expected to go up by 20.7%, primarily
12.5% due to a sharp jump in the countervailing duty by over 20.7% from Rs. 380.4 bn to
Rs. 459.25 bn. This indicates that duty protection will largely continue for the
industries. A duty cut according to us will be beneficial for the metals & iron ores,
chemicals, plastics and packaging sectors.

On the excise duty front, the FM has kept the CENVAT unchanged at 16%. We
believe that reduction in the excise duty will be more than compensated by increased
volumes and profitability. The excise receipts are projected to increase by 11% in
FY08E from Rs. 1172.6 bn in current year. The service tax which accounts for
12.4% of total taxes collected has seen its scope being widened to new segments
like Renting of immovable property, Design services, Asset management services,
Development and supply of content for use in telecom and advertising purposes and
Services outsourced for mining of mineral, oil or gas.

Direct Taxes –
The FM has kept corporate tax and personal income tax rates unchanged while not
introducing any new taxes for FY07. We are however surprised to observe a increase
Dividend Distribution Tax from 12.5% to 15%. On the positive side capital gains tax
and the securities transactions tax (STT) have remained at same levels which earlier
there was anticipation that there could be a increase here. Education Cess on the
other hand has been increased by 1% from 2% earlier, which has been basically
justified to fund secondary level education. The Education cess is estimated to
collect Rs 119.3 bn in FY08 from Rs 81.9 bn in FY07.

Macro Issues which could not see the light of the day
Some of the macro issues, which did not get mentioned by the Finance Minister in
this Budget, included Public Sector Investment Divestment, foreign direct investments
increase in Insurance, Aviation etc, also were not considered.

Market Outlook – Long-term positive


We rate the Budget as progressive and a balanced exercise with the focus being on
long term sustainable and balanced economic growth. We believe that, higher visibility,
thrust on capital formation for long-term growth, fiscal prudence and tax reforms, will
attract investors to the equity market with a long-term focus. Corporate numbers
Market outlook - Long Term Trend have been broadly in line with expectations but we expect marginal changes on the
continues to be positive downside to our earning estimates in the light of the Budgetary recommendations.

This ensures higher visibility of earnings and helps investors in taking a long-term
call on the stocks as well as on the market. However although we remain positive on
the long-term prospects of the market, we do not rule out the possibility of a short-
term correction. Liquidity, in the short term particularly from foreign institutional
investors (FIIs), would be a deciding factor in the short term. However the long-term
investment time frame and reasonably good risk to reward expectations are primary
reasons, which we believe are attracting FII investment in the Indian equity market
and we do not see any change in this trend, at least in the medium to long term.

Sectorially we believe the stocks from FMCG, Food Processing, Telecom, Hotels,
Capital Goods, Power, Oil & Gas/Allied services players to be impacted positively.

Hence it is quite clear that Infrastructure, Consumption and Agri related sectors
would be the major beneficiaries of the process.

Our Top Picks


Infrastructure, consumption and Agri
In large Caps we like Bajaj Auto, Mahindra & Mahindra, Amtek Auto, Kirloskar Oil
related sectors to benefit most.
Engines, Infosys, Tech Mahindra. ACC, UltraTech, L&T.

In the Mid Cap space, we continue to be positive on Ratnamani Tubes, RPG


Transmission, Automotive Axles, Paradyne Infotech, Tanla Solutions, Tata Elxsi,
Global Vectra, Royal Orchid Hotels, Gabriel, Sujana Metal, Shree Cement, Mangalam
Cement, Pratibha, Patel Engineering, Paper Product, Great Offshore, Jindal Drilling,
BL Kashyap, Ansal Housing and Peninsula Land.

n Increase in allocation for Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana will be
beneficial for equipment suppliers
n Exemption of excise duty on pipes used for taking water from water treatment
plant will benefit to companies like Ratnamani Metals and Tubes which has

IMPACT ON THE SECTOR


n The impact of the cement price increase remains negative.
n Cement prices currently in most markets are currently at above Rs 200 levels.
An increase in excise duty by Rs 200 per tonne translates to only Rs 10 per 50-
Kg bag.
n Given the robust cement demand, we expect an increase of Rs 10 per 50-Kg
bag can easily be passed on to the final consumers.

Negatives
n Sec80IA(4) amended : The purpose of the tax benefit has all along been for
encouraging private sector participation by way of investment in development of
the infrastructure sector and not for the persons who merely execute the civil
construction work or any other works contract. Accordingly, it is proposed to
clarify that the provisions of section 80-IA shall not apply to a person who executes
a works contract entered into with the undertaking or enterprise referred to in the
said section. Thus, in a case where a person makes the investment and himself
executes the development work i.e., carries out the civil construction work, he
will be eligible for tax benefit under section 80-IA. In contrast to this, a person
who enters into a contract with another person [i.e., undertaking or enterprise
referred to in section 80-IA] for executing works contract, will not be eligible for
the tax benefit under section 80-IA.
The above section will be implemented with retrospective effect from Assessment
year FY00-01.

IMPACT ON THE SECTOR


n Higher allocation to Infrastructure sector will boost Infrastructure company in the
long run.
n Government taking measures with innovative idea of funding infrastructure sector
will also help Infrastructure Company to finance projects.
n After interacting with companies in infrastructure segments we believe that
n prospective impact of Sec 80IA(4) will be high in comparison to retrospective
effect. The Section specifies that EPC contractors will not be exempted as
before, which signify that the tax rate of the company’s will increase from existence
of 15%-22% to 24%-28% depending on the revenue mix .

n Imposition of MAT on IT-ITES company would have a negative impact of around
150-200 bps on the net margins, depending on the company’s exposure to tax
shelter units, However, those company’s which are paying tax outside India will
get some respite, on account of double taxation avoidance treaty, as they can
set off the tax paid outside India against MAT.
n Inclusion of ESOPS under FBT, would impact the net margins, as it is a regular
norms of the Indian IT companies to issue ESOPs, in order to reward the
employees and reduce the attrition rate.
n Hiked in the dividend distribution tax from 12.5% to 15%, would have a negative

IMPACT ON THE SECTOR
n Reduction in ad-valorem excise duty on petrol and diesel shall have no immediate
impact as the reduction shall be adjusted in the recent reduction of rates done
by the government. In the longer term however increase in rates will have a
lesser duty impact to the extent of reduction;
n Inclusion of setting up of gas distribution pipeline in list of infrastructure facilities
eligible for deduction u/s 80IA will be beneficial to companies involved in
implementing city gas projects. Companies like Reliance Industries, GAIL and
GSPL shall benefit.
n Imposition of 3% import duty on all private import of aircrafts including helicopters
may impact helicopter logistic companies as they operate under a Non-Scheduled
Operators Permit from the DGCA, although clarity is awaited on the issue. There
may be marginal negative impact on Global Vectra.
