Make in India
India has announced several measures aimed at self-reliance including import disincentives,

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
production-linked incentives, tax benefits and digitization in an attempt to increase the share of
manufacturing in GDP from 17% currently to 25% over the medium term. These policies will cater to
satisfy the large domestic demand initially; but with the right enablers, in our view, could potentially
serve global efforts in seeking out a China + 1 sourcing strategy. While follow-through and successful
implementation of these steps remains critical, sectors like Industrials, Defence, Autos and
Pharmaceuticals are likely to be at the forefront of this initiative. This report captures the steps taken
so far and highlights the potential beneficiaries as India lays out the playing field.

We see the “Make in India” (MII) initiative potentially having a profound impact on
India’s economy. Plans to make India more self-reliant could see the share of
manufacturing in GDP rise from 17% to 25% over the next few years, creating 100mn
new jobs. Knock-on impacts could see India better develop its consumption potential,
boosting earnings for domestic companies over time.

In a scenario of full implementation, our Macro team expects real GDP growth to pick
up to 8% in the next five years, vs their base case of 5-6%. The team does not bake full
implementation of MII into their numbers, given the undoubted challenges:
improvements in manufacturing competitiveness, implementation of production-linked
incentive (PLI) schemes, better infrastructure, reforms in labour/land laws, more private
sector participation, continued political will, and growth in exports. In a recent note, the
team noted that Vietnam and India were the most mentioned destinations as alternates
to China for manufacturing.

Steps so far on logistics have been positive, like the construction of the Dedicated
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

Freight Corridor, the national road network scheme (Bharatmala), and connecting ports
to hinterlands (Sagarmala). Dedicated PLI schemes for the pharma sector and mobile
phones are backed by budgets exceeding INR500bn (0.3% of FY21 GDP) over 5-8 years.
Implementation of such PLI schemes, and crucially their potential extension to other
sectors, will be key for investors to watch out for.

This report expands on recent work done across the sectors mostly likely to benefit
from the MII initiative: pharma, air conditioners, autos, as well as defence, apparel,
IT/SaaS, mobile phones and logistics. We highlight 19 potential beneficiaries within our
coverage from the Make in India theme and associated government schemes, among
which some key Buy calls include Divi’s (on CL), TVS Motor, Adani Port and SEZ, L&T
and Tech Mahindra (on CL). As part of our overall industry analysis, we also look at a
number of Not Covered companies in these sectors that could have potential exposure
to the MII theme.

PM Summary: Early steps towards self-reliance

“Atmanirbhar Bharat” (or Self-reliant India) is the vision of Prime Minister Modi to attain
self-reliance. This, along with the Government’s Make in India initiative, could be a key
investment theme over the next few years.

India Macroeconomics: n Our macroeconomics team believes that several of the initiatives under the
Prachi Mishra and
“Self-reliant India” program appear small in magnitude from a macroeconomic
Jonathan Sequeira
perspective; however, if these could be well-executed and lead to positive spillover
effects, we could see some boost to manufacturing and growth. There could,
however, be offsetting negative effects as well, eg, from higher tariffs. In a scenario
where there are vast improvements in manufacturing competitiveness, successful
implementation of the production-linked incentive schemes, complemented with
improvements in infrastructure, as well as in labour and land laws, greater
participation of the private sector, and higher exports, real GDP growth could pick up
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

to 8% pa over the next five years, vs our base case estimate of 5-6%. We do not
bake these developments into our economic forecasts for now, given the early stage
of the proposals as well as the execution challenges we foresee at this point.
We think the start has been good, with new policies on PLI in Pharma and Mobile
phones. In this report, we delve deeper into our broader India coverage and look for
potential beneficiaries of the theme of integrating global with local.
India Industrials and n Air conditioners and defence: As India’s AC penetration could increase to 72% by
Utilities: Pulkit Patni
FY25 from 49% in FY16 (from an affordability matrix penetration perspective), we
think large branded players like Voltas (Buy, on CL), with a quarter of market
penetration, and some sub-contract manufacturers will benefit from the theme of
import substitution. With 55% of AC components being imported, imposition of
higher import duties in the near term may hit industry profitability; however, phased
implementation may help create domestic manufacturing capability. We think this

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
will drive consolidation in the domestic market and also offer export opportunities.
For a detailed report on this topic refer to our 16 July report.
While there are various bottlenecks in domestic manufacturing of defence
equipment, including lack of technology and prolonged administrative procedures,
we think recent moves of allowing increased FDI ownership in the sector (up to
74%) and banning 101 weapons and military platforms from imports have been
steps in the right direction. L&T (Buy) among the stocks we cover could benefit
from this over the medium term;
India Pharmaceuticals: n Pharmaceuticals: We believe India’s Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API)
Shyam Srinivasan, CFA
manufacturers could benefit from Make in India friendly policies, as they serve a
large domestic market (US$9bn, growing 10% pa) while also leveraging on export
opportunities (US$4bn, growing high single digits pa), given the backdrop of
dual-sourcing requirements for global supplies. We see Divi’s (Buy, on CL) as
well-positioned to capture a growing share in contract manufacturing and API
supplies, as global pharma looks to diversify suppliers in a post-COVID world,
deepen relationships with established providers, and shift focus from pricing and

21 September 2020 7
Goldman Sachs India

more towards quality and reliability of supply. We also highlight Aurobindo Pharma
(Buy) and Sun Pharma (Sell). See our 22 July deep-dive on this sector.
India Autos: Pramod Kumar n Autos: At over 40% of India’s manufacturing GDP and with exports at c. 20% of
2W/car production, we see automobiles as one of the best Make in India story. The
industry imports c. US$15bn of components annually, making it a significant player
in the government’s import localization plans. Incremental localization will impact
component makers directly, in terms of top-line growth, while for OEMs, the benefit
is potentially lower costs, less FX volatility and faster time to market. With rising
tariffs / FX moves and geo-political headwinds, the industry is fast-tracking
localization plans, which could entail higher investments in the near / medium terms
but would strengthen the sector as a global hub for small cars, 2Ws and
components, in our view. Amongst our covered companies, TVS Motor (Buy),
Maruti (Buy), and Mahindra & Mahindra (Buy) benefit from the theme. For more
details on this topic see our concurrent report on India autos.
India Consumer: Aditya n Consumer: India is already the second-largest textile exporter and the sixth-largest

Soman
apparel exporter in the world. Despite low labour costs and a well-developed
cotton-textile-apparel supply chain, Indian garment manufacturing suffers from the
more dispersed and small scale of its manufacturing facilities. We see the
government’s recent move to remove anti-dumping duty on polyester raw material
in the FY21 budget as a positive move, as it allows better integration with global
supply chains. The government has also announced several incentives for small
industries and a US$200 mn investment for developing technical textiles in India.
Within our coverage, we note Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail (Buy) and Page
Industries (Sell) as key beneficiaries if more steps towards creating domestic
competitiveness in the apparel sector are taken.
India IT and IT Services: n IT/SaaS: IT spending in India is low, at just 1.9% of GDP, vs the global figure of
Sumeet Jain
2.9% and highs of 6.3%/5.4% of GDP in the UK and US, respectively. This implies
significant scope for increases in technology spending by Indian enterprises as they

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
adopt more digital tools. Over the past two decades, India’s IT services industry has
seen a strong 20% CAGR, growing from revenue of US$5.5bn in FY2000 to
US$191bn in FY2020, led largely by exports. Indian government incentives to the
industry around creation of SEZs (Special Economic Zones) with tax benefits helped
propel the growth in exports. Going forward, apart from export-driven growth, we
see Indian IT services companies participating pro-actively in India’s digital initiatives
(on areas such as GST Network, Taxation, Passports, MNREGA (the rural
employment plan), India Post, various large banks using IT services companies for
their core banking products, like SBI using TCS BaNCS, ICICI using INFY’s Finacle) as
well as around SaaS (Software-As-A-Service). India’s SaaS industry has witnessed a
29% CAGR over the past two years with total market size at US$3.5bn (in FY20),
and is expected to grow 6X by FY25E, as per NASSCOM. In 2019, the Government
of India approved the National Policy of Software Products to make India a big center
for software products by 2025 with primary focus on IP creation and up-skilling.
India’s large engineering talent pool is trained on various digital technologies; in our
view, this should be a key enabler for Make In India initiatives across industries.
Amongst our covered companies, we think Tech Mahindra (Buy, on CL) and TCS

India Telecom: Manish n Telecom: The Government of India recently announced a Production Linked
Adukia, CFA
Incentive scheme (PLI) for manufacturing of electronics. This entails incentives of
4-6% on incremental sales (over base year FY20) of goods manufactured in India,
with up to Rs410 bn (US$5.5 bn) of incentives over five years. This could potentially
translate into >US$100 bn of incremental smartphone/electronics manufacturing in
the country over this period of five years. Per press reports, Samsung, and contract
manufacturers of Apple, such as Foxconn Hon Hai, Rising Star, Wistron and
Pegatron, have noted interest in this scheme. In addition, seven domestic firms have
applied for this scheme, with names such as Lava Group, Dixon Technologies,
Bhagwati (Micromax), among others. In addition, we note that the government is
also adopting the approach of levying additional duties on incremental imports of
certain products; for example, India recently levied a 10% safeguard duty on single
mode optical fiber in order to encourage domestic production.

efficiency, like the construction of the Dedicated Freight Corridor, national road
network scheme (Bharatmala Project), connecting ports to hinterlands (Sagarmala
Project) etc. We see companies like Adani Port and SEZ (Buy) and Gujarat Pipavav
Port (Buy) (both port companies) and Container Corporation of India (Neutral),
India’s largest container train operator) as likely beneficiaries from increased
domestic manufacturing and import/exports.
In their latest publication, the ECS team concluded that there is no evidence of a
broad-based manufacturing move away from China. However, based on a survey of
equity analysts, Vietnam and India came out as the most mentioned destinations as
an alternate to China for manufacturing. Bangladesh and Cambodia were preferred
for Apparel, and Taiwan for Tech. Vietnam and India appear to be attractive to
manufacturers in multiple industries. They are followed by Indonesia, Mexico and
Thailand.

What is “Atmanirbhar Bharat”?

The Make in India initiative was launched by Prime Minister Modi in September 2014,
with the objective to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. In
addition, in May 2020, an economic package of Rs20tn to tide over the Covid-19
pandemic under the title “Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan” (or Self-reliant India) was
announced. The economic package was targetted to play an important role in making
India “self reliant” and to benefit labourers, farmers, MSMEs and cottage industries.

The key objectives of the Make in India scheme are as follows:

n An increase in the share of manufacturing in the country’s GDP from 16% to 25%
by 2022;
n To create 100mn additional jobs by 2022 in the manufacturing sector;
n Creation of appropriate skills among rural migrants and the urban poor;
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

n An increase in domestic value addition and technology in manufacturing;


n Enhancing the global competitiveness of India’s manufacturing sector; and
n Ensuring sustainability of growth, particularly with regard to the environment;

While the progress has been slow and these targets are unlikely to be met by 2022, we
believe the additional push given to the initiative over the last few months – such as the
PLI scheme announcement and import restrictions on various products – will expedite
the implementation from hereon in. Between 2000 and 2010, China’s manufacturing
GDP grew by 13% annually. Bangladesh and Vietnam have both increased their GDP
share of manufacturing by 5-6% pp in the past 10-12 years. India on the other hand, as
seen in the exhibit below, has seen manufacturing as a % of GDP remain in the 16-18%
range over a prolonged period of time i.e. no increase over the last 10-12 years.

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
The other focus of the Make in India programme is on creating jobs and skills
enhancement in 25 sectors:

A strong manufacturing sector is critical for a country like India, in our view, with its
huge employable workforce. We expect Make in India to boost the share of
manufacturing in India’s GDP, which has lagged in the past few years.

Rationale for a Make in India push: Over the past decade, India has been running an
expanding trade deficit, due in large part to burgeoning imports of merchandise
(manufacturing sector). India’s merchandise imports are at 19.1% of GDP in FY20, the
highest among comparable emerging economies. The need to import more merchandise
has also been partially caused by a domestic manufacturing sector which has lagged
overall GDP growth in recent years. While India has done a decent job on exports in
Chemicals, Textiles, Jewellery and Petroleum products, we see room for improvement in
categories like Electronics items, Transport equipment and Machinery.

Also, from an employment point of view, the urban mass has been the most important
consumer segment over the past four years. Urban blue collar workers, which is a
significant category in population size, has been a laggard in terms of wage growth.
Make in India could be a very significant opportunity for this cohort as they form 22% of

few years.

NITI Aayog Export Preparedness Index (2020) identifies key export support factors
One of the key objectives of Make in India (MII) is to promote exports. The NITI Aayog’s
(which is the Government’s planning body) August 2020 report on Export Preparedness
assesses regional capabilities and policy or infrastructural gaps which if plugged can
enable more effective export performance in a number of states.

As visible in the below exhibits, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and
Odisha are the Top 5 states in terms of Export preparedness. The bottom half of states
on this scale have potential to catch up if the following policy / infrastructure tools can
be enhanced according to the report:

n Trade support;
n R&D Infrastructure;
n Access to finance;
n Export Infrastructure;

21 September 2020 15

n Growth and Orientation; and


n Industrial Framework

Sectors like electronics, capital goods, chemicals, textiles and apparel, auto and auto
components and pharmaceuticals contributed to more than half of global trade in 2018.
India’s share of exports in these sectors is in low single digits, which could change if
manufacturing competitiveness is improved.

Macroeconomic implications of “Atmanirbhar Bharat”: Execution remains


the key

Prachi Mishra This section has been authored by our India Economics team
+91 22 6616 9052
“Atmanirbhar Bharat” (or Self-reliant India) is the vision of the Prime Minister of India of
prachi.mishra@gs.com making India a self-reliant nation. The first mention of this came during the
Goldman Sachs India SPL announcement of the Covid-19-related economic package of INR 20 trn (~10% of GDP)
in May. Our understanding of the narrative so far is that the idea of “Self-reliant India” is
essentially composed of four elements, which we discuss below.
Jonathan Sequeira

+852 2978-0698
1. Corporate tax cut
jonathan.sequeira@gs.com The first initiative – one that was introduced last year – is lower corporate tax rates, with
Goldman Sachs (Asia) the goal to make the Indian economy more competitive and attract higher investment.
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

L.L.C. On 20 September 2019, India’s Finance Minister announced a cut in corporate income
tax rates to 22% (from 30% previously) and to 15% (from 25% previously) for newly
incorporated manufacturing firms. This announcement takes India’s corporate income
tax rates to among the lowest across peer emerging markets, and more generally
compared to regions across the globe (Exhibit 17).

In an earlier report we provided an overview of the academic research literature on the


impact of a change in corporate tax rates, with a focus on emerging and developing
markets, and analyzed the implications for India. Our point estimates using Indian data
suggested that a 1 pp cut in tax rates would be associated with 0.4 pp higher real GDP
growth after two years. The confidence bands, however, were too wide for us to have
any reasonable degree of confidence for these point estimates to be statistically
distinguishable from zero. Our findings were broadly consistent with the international
evidence. Moreover, discussions with companies suggested that they would prefer to
remain with the old system for a while, taking advantage of the Minimum Alternate Tax
(MAT) and the exemptions. Indeed, the effects on investment and in turn, growth, so far,
have been smaller than what the headline cut in tax rates might imply. The recently

21 September 2020 19
Goldman Sachs India

released RBI annual report 2019-20, for example noted that “The corporate tax cut of
September 2019 has been utilised in debt servicing, build-up of cash balances and other
current assets rather than restarting the capex cycle. These underlying developments
suggest that the appetite for investment is anaemic and in need of more reforms.“

2. Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes


The second initiative involves the introduction of a host of production subsidies, which
could fall under the broader umbrella of “industrial policy”. The schemes announced so
far have focused on two sectors: (i) electronics, and (ii) pharmaceuticals. The PLI
schemes would essentially entail a lump-sum transfer to new businesses to be
implemented over the next 5-8 years, with a total outlay envisaged at INR 513 bn (0.3%
of FY21 GDP).

At the outset, the PLI schemes announced so far do not appear to be large in
magnitude. Importantly, the program, to our understanding, does not address the
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

availability of start-up funds or capital, which is often a key barrier for individuals starting
new businesses. In addition, the subsidies are envisaged to be proportional to
incremental sales, and may not reduce the underlying uncertainties regarding future
cash flows, which is another major hurdle to start new businesses. Overall, it appears
that while the schemes could influence existing players to add and expand capacity, the
effects on stimulating new entrepreneurial ventures seems unclear. The details of the
schemes and the timeline for implementation are summarized in Exhibit 18.

Yet, whether these schemes have other spillovers and succeed at the margin to
incentivize greenfield investment and growth in selected sectors in the medium term
would depend crucially on finer details, and the execution of the program - e.g. how
much is the demand for the subsidies, how bureaucratic the processes to get the
lump-sum transfers are, how long it takes to actually transfer the funds, whether the
schemes are extended to other sectors, etc.

3. Higher tariffs and embargo on imports of some goods


The third initiative is through protectionist policies in the form of higher tariffs on
imported goods in selected sectors. 370 manufacturing products across several sectors
– mainly chemicals, electronics, machinery, furniture, and toys – were identified by the
government back in December 2019 to be targeted for higher tariffs; however, none of
these have been implemented yet. These higher tariffs are envisaged to cover all trading
partners – although we would note that China is a major source of imports into India for

21 September 2020 20
Goldman Sachs India

these selected product categories (Exhibit 19). The government also announced a ban
on imports of 101 defense items, to be gradually implemented from Dec 2020-2025, and
announced plans to float contracts worth INR 4 trn for domestic manufacturing of
banned products in the next 5-7 years. Our calculations suggest that even if these
higher tariffs were implemented, the impact on overall imports, and on the current
account balance, would likely be small (Exhibit 20).

Overall, whether manufacturing could get a boost from higher tariffs in the medium
term would ultimately depend on at least three key factors:

n Actual implementation of these tariffs.


n Input/output linkages. While higher tariffs on final goods could protect domestic
producers against cheaper imports; those on intermediate inputs could, in fact, hurt
them as their costs of production would increase.
n Synergy with other reforms e.g. land, labour, infrastructure and human capital.

Beyond manufacturing, the growth impact of higher tariffs could work through several
other mechanisms:

n Trade effect (+ve): Leveraging academic evidence, and our work across the region,
suggests that higher tariffs typically get passed through to retailers and households
through higher prices. Higher import prices would lower import volumes, and
increase net trade, and would therefore be a positive for growth. Our estimates
suggest that the decline in imports from higher tariffs announced so far could help
improve the current account balance by 0.5%-0.6% of GDP (Exhibit 20).

21 September 2020 21
Goldman Sachs India

n Real income effect (-ve): Higher tariffs if passed through to consumer prices could
lead to lower real incomes, and lower growth.
n Financial conditions (-ve): Higher tariffs could lead to tighter financial conditions,
and lead to a negative impulse for growth.
n Uncertainty effect (-ve): Higher tariffs could lead to greater uncertainty about
policies, and could dampen investment. In this case, for example, we estimate this
effect to comprise a significant negative drag on growth.

Therefore, while higher tariffs could provide protection and help some industries to
grow, there could be several counteracting effects, especially for consumers, and
therefore the net effect could turn out to be negative from an overall macroeconomic
perspective.

4. Firm relocation and supply chain shifts


Finally, the fourth initiative focuses on incentivizing foreign firms to relocate to India. The
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

idea is that higher import tariffs, production incentives, and an explicit effort to target
and reach out to particular companies, could influence firms to shift their factories to
India from other countries, mainly from China, especially when US-China trade tensions
are ongoing. Research by our regional team suggests that supply chains indeed have
shifted from China over the last two years, with Vietnam being the most favored
destination for production relocation among China’s 12 major trade partners. Exhibit 21
(right panel) shows that as of Q4 2019, US imports of cellphones and other electronic
devices from Vietnam were significantly higher compared to counterfactuals (estimated
based on the pre US-China trade war shares). Meanwhile, Chinese exports of inputs for
these electronic devices (processors & controllers) to Vietnam also surged, thus
indicating that the final product was being assembled in Vietnam and then exported to
the US.

India, on the other hand, has gained little so far overall, though there is some evidence

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
of relocation in specific sectors, e.g. mobile phones. India’s imports of mobile phones
from China declined during 2017-19, while imports of integrated circuits rose during the
same period, which may suggest some evidence for relocation of assembly in the
downstream part of electronics supply chain. Even in the mobile phone sector, however,
while Vietnam’s exports to the US rose significantly compared to a pre trade-war
scenario, exports from India increased only marginally (Exhibit 21, left panel). Several
reports suggest that very few firms moving out of China relocated to India, and shifted
to Vietnam instead. This could be explained by the fact that despite favourable
demographics and relative low labour costs, India’s overall manufacturing
competitiveness (which comprises competitiveness in costs, regulations, logistics)
ranks low compared to its Asian counterparts (see Potential implications of US-China
trade tensions for Southeast Asia and India).

The constraints for improving manufacturing competitiveness are, however, not


sacrosanct, and could change under the new initiatives. In fact, India’s government
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

reached out proactively in May to 1000+ companies in the US and other countries
moving out of China, to attract investment. Several states also announced various land
and labour reforms to incentivize production relocation (e.g. extension of working hours,
changes in land regulations, fast track process to issue licenses etc.). The impact of all
these actions, however, remains to be seen, and would depend on finer details, and
their execution.

To summarize, our overall view is that while at the outset, several of the initiatives under
the “Self-reliant India” program appear small in magnitude from a macroeconomic
perspective, if these could be well executed and lead to positive spillover effects, we
could see some boost to manufacturing and growth. There could, however, be offsetting
negative effects as well e.g. from higher tariffs, as discussed above. We think what the
market would likely want to see in the coming months is a credible program, greater
details, and concrete steps with timelines to have more confidence in the government’s

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
program. The intent on providing a boost to manufacturing is clear – we think what
markets would be looking for is greater progress on implementation.

Importantly, over view is that the initiatives to make India self-reliant would need to be
combined with an all-out effort to boost manufacturing competitiveness, and as we have
highlighted before, to be complemented with structural reforms in the four key areas: (i)
land, (ii), labour, (iii) export promotion, and (iv) privatization. (See Scenarios Around
Potential Reforms and Implications for Macro, Micro and Markets). There has been
some progress in these areas, especially at the state level. Based on the World Bank’s
Doing Business indicators, India’s overall ranking has improved from 132nd in 2013 to
63rd in 2019. Yet, on our GS manufacturing competitiveness indices that cover several
areas including logistics and infrastructure; and regulations and tax, India still ranks low
compared with not only advanced economies, but several regional and EM peers too.

Impact on growth
Against this background, we build three scenarios, and consider what might happen to
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

India’s growth under the different scenarios.

Base case: Under this scenario, we assume pent-up demand, favourable base effects,
and massive policy support in advanced economies driving the global recovery to lift
India’s economy in the medium term. We, however, struggle to see any domestic
fundamental forces to drive India’s growth forward in the medium run in this scenario.
No sharp improvement in manufacturing competitiveness, and no extensive change in
the institutional structure such as land and labour laws, intensified export promotion, or
privatization. GDP growth would settle into a 5-6% range, the new “normal” in this
scenario.

Acceleration: Vast improvements in manufacturing competitiveness, successful


implementation of the production-linked incentive schemes, complemented with
improvements in infrastructure, as well as in labour, and land laws, greater participation

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
of the private sector, and higher exports. Manufacturing in this scenario would get a
significant boost. The manufacturing sector also becomes a training ground for workers,
absorbing more students with a middle or high school education. India moves into
niches vacated by China. India experiences faster growth. In this scenario, we would
expect real GDP growth to pick up to 8% over the next five years.

Regression: In this case, no improvement takes place in infrastructure, or in institutions,


and there is little take-up of the production linked incentive schemes. As fewer
opportunities are created outside of agriculture, more workers stay in agriculture,
increasing the pressure on land and lowering real incomes. More dole-outs are given to
agriculture and transfers are made to rural areas. This puts pressure on the
government’s fiscal position. Growth under this scenario would fall to 3% over the next
five years.

Overall, moving from base case to acceleration appears to be a daunting


task
The government aims to increase manufacturing to 25% of GDP by 2025, from 16% of
GDP based on the current official estimates. Our calculations suggest that
manufacturing would need to grow at an annual average of 12.4% during FY22-26,
almost twice the average rate of 5.9% in our base case, to reach even 20% of GDP by
FY26. The schemes under the “Self-reliant India” program, if properly implemented,
could add at most ~1% to India’s medium-term growth (Exhibit 24), on our estimates. If
the incentives announced so far are extended to other manufacturing categories
including apparel, wearables and auto; and if India’s government and corporate sector
indeed go on an all-out effort to raise manufacturing competitiveness and implement
structural reforms, and succeed in getting manufacturing to grow at ~12% on average
over the next five years, in that case, assuming the other sectors grow at their historical

average, this could potentially propel India’s GDP growth from our base case to the
acceleration scenario (Exhibit 25). That said, it seems a daunting task, especially given
the historical performance of the schemes launched in previous years by successive
governments to promote manufacturing.

Goldman Sachs India SPL
While air conditioner sales in any year in India are driven in large part by weather
conditions during summer, we expect growth in room air conditioners (RACs) will be a
secular trend that will continue over the next few years, given the increasing
affordability, improving lifestyles and rising temperature levels. We expect India’s AC
penetration to increase to 21% by FY25 from 10% in FY16 (keeping overall population
matrix as the base), on the back of: 1) increases in per-capita income over time; 2)
improved availability of electricity; 3) gradual recovery in real estate; and 4) rising
temperatures. This, from an affordability matrix penetration, implies 72%
penetration in FY25, vs 49% in FY16. As people spend more time at home during
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

COVID-19, we believe that AC is now viewed as more of a necessity.

Overall, we expect room AC volume to post a 13% CAGR over FY20-25E. The key
drivers for room AC sales growth over the coming years are:

n Increases in per-capita income over time: India’s current per-capita income equals
China’s per-capita income in 2007. We expect India’s per-capita income to increase at
a CAGR of 7% (on the basis of average GDP growth of 6-7% and population growth
of 1% - based on GSe), vs China’s last decade CAGR of 9.5%, and expect India to
reach China’s current per-capita income in the next 10-12 years.
n Improved availability of electricity: India’s electricity penetration has increased
from 65% in 2010 to c.99% in 2019 through the launch of schemes such as
DDUGJY (Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana) & Saubhagya. We expect the
expansion of the power grid coupled with a better power supply to further support

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
AC penetration in the country.
n Gradual recovery in real estate: India’s real estate market has softened over the
past few years with a sharp decrease in the number of new launches due to
multiple reforms like the Real Estate Regulatory Act (RERA) and demonetization.
However, with unsold inventory declining (peaked in CY Q4 2016) we see a pick-up
in real estate activity over the medium term as the supply overhang declines.
n Rising temperatures: India has seen a sharp rise in temperatures over the past
decade. The Indian Meteorological Department forecasts warmer-than-normal
temperatures with Northwest and Central India likely to be above normal by more
than 1 degree Celsius in the next few years. The National Academy of Sciences in
the US estimates India to have one the highest potential for ACs based on its higher
annual CDDs — a cooling degree day (CDD) is a measurement designed to quantify
the demand for energy needed to cool a building. It is the number of degrees that a
day’s average temperature is above 18 degrees Celsius.

The above points as well COVID-related restrictions are driving people to spend more
time at home, suggesting AC sales in India will likely be strong over the coming years.

The intensity and duration of summer are also key drivers for AC volume sales.

Based on our latest room AC industry model (link), which we first published on July 12,
2016 (see report: AC market poised to grow though affordability remains low; Buy), we
estimate India’s annual demand for room AC will increase from 3.9mn units in 2015 to
close to 6mn units currently and to 11.1 mn units in 2025. India’s room AC market
(volumes) has grown at 14%/13% CAGRs in the past 15/5 years, and we expect it to
accelerate to 62.53mn units by 2025 due to the relatively low penetration in the
addressable market, improving power supply and as AC moves from being seen as a
luxury to being seen as a necessity. We estimate penetration will reach 72% in 2025E
(addressable market) with a volume CAGR of +13% during FY20-25.

Localization in India’s AC manufacturing has been on the rise over the past couple of
years, driven by higher import duty imposed by the government as well as a greater
focus by companies to reduce their dependency on China. Currently only about 10%
of ACs are being imported as CBUs (completely built units), vs 30% two years ago.
As a result, over the past couple of years, companies have shifted from importing

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
completely built units, to more imports of components and indoor units of split air
conditioners.

We see scope for further localization, driven by increased government focus to further
enhance domestic AC manufacturing as part of its Make in India scheme and companies
facing supply chain disruptions prior to the peak summer season this year due to
COVID-19.

Four critical components i.e Compressors, Condensers, Blower motors and PCB
circuits (for Inverter ACs), which together account for ~55% of the cost of air
conditioners, will likely continue to be imported in the near term. We believe a
fragmented market like India with a total size of only ~6mn units pa (the largest player
Voltas has ~24% market share of the MBO (Multi Brand Outlet) market) does not have
enough scale for each player to set up manufacturing units for each of these individual
components and backward integrate operations. We believe that either specialist
ODM/OEM manufacturers or global companies could set up manufacturing units for
these components in case the import cost becomes a hurdle due to higher duties or
there are favourable initiatives by the government to help set up large units to cater to

21 September 2020 30
Goldman Sachs India

multiple geographies as part of their China +1 strategy. As a result, we see Make in


India gradually increasing the localization of AC components and shifting more segments
of the supply chain to set up units in India. Additionally, companies like Voltas, with large
domestic market share, could be potential partners for such global companies to enter
India. Also, Voltas could have favourable purchase terms from these OEM/ODMs given
the scale of committed business it can offer.

Export of ACs from India: India represents less than 0.4% of global AC exports (valuing
at Rs12-13bn) with China leading the pack with about 34% share in exports. India’s
share implies exports of about 0.6-0.7mn units pa, which implies high single digit % of
domestic consumption. While we don’t expect a major change in this, as and when
Make in India kicks off with more government support, we believe India’s share could
rise. We expect India could be used for China +1 strategies where foreign companies
could use India as an export base (diversifying away from China) in addition to their
factories globally. This would also support the India players by giving them economies of
scale. A doubling of exports over 3-4 years (from 0.4% to 1% market share) could mean
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

an additional 15pp growth for the Indian companies – which we think is quite realistic if
the cost structures are aligned, driven by government policy support.

Electronic manufacturing is one of the 25 key sectors within which there is a focus to
enhance domestic manufacturing capability of: 1) Consumer Electronics, 2) White
goods, and 3) Electronic hardware. With this in mind the government has announced
measures such as:

1) 100% FDI through automatic route in electronics hardware manufacturing: In


order to incentivize domestic electronic manufacturing, the government has recently
allowed 100% FDI in manufacturing of Electronic systems and hardware, with the
exception of restrictions on defense electronics and medical electronics;

2) Increasing custom duty on Air Conditioners from 10% to 20%: In the July 2019
budget the Government of India increased the custom duty on Air Conditioners
irrespective of how they are imported, ie, as one complete unit or separate indoor and
outdoor units. This would imply that companies which import ACs would now have to
offset this duty hike by increasing prices by 8-9%, thus incentivizing them to increase
local manufacturing. There have been news reports (link) of further potential hikes in
duties in order to support what is called a Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP).
Under this, the Government could increase differential import duty on various

21 September 2020 33
Goldman Sachs India

components in a phased manner with the objective to promote local manufacturing.

3) Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS) and Production Linked


Incentive: M-SIPS scheme will be operational from July 2020. It offers 25% subsidy on
capital expenses to manufacturers. The scheme also reimburses manufacturers excise
duty and additional duty paid on imported capital equipment. Further, all central taxes
and duties are reimbursed for 29 industry verticals for high capital projects. The
Government also came up with a Production Linked Incentive scheme (PLI) for telecom
equipment. Something similar is expected (proposed by the Department of Promotion
of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) (link) to be rolled out for Air Conditioner
manufacturing as well but clarity on this is awaited. Under this scheme, based on both
initial and cumulative investment, the companies qualify for an incentive of 6% for the
first two years, followed by 5% for the next two years and 4% for the fifth year.

If we take the PLI scheme for telecom equipment as a benchmark, then it is clear that
there is a high threshold of incremental sales that a company needs to achieve to
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

benefit from the scheme. That is one of the reasons why we believe that companies
with high market share (like Voltas) are likely to benefit much more. Taking the example
of mobile phone makers, an investment of Rs2bn over a five-year period can drive up to
Rs0.8bn in incentives alone - implying 40% of investment returned back, which could
allow companies to pass on 25% discounts on prices to consumers. However, this
requires high level of incremental sales. Hence, we believe Voltas may be best-placed
among peers to benefit from this initiative.

4) Lower tax rate for manufacturing companies: In order to make Indian companies
more competitive the Government of India last September cut the domestic corporate
tax rate to 22% from 30%. In addition to this, manufacturing companies set up after 1st
October 2019 would get an option to pay a 15% tax rate. With this the Indian corporate
tax rate has become one of the lowest in the world.

We think total cost of manufacturing ACs in India currently is at least 25% higher than in
China due to differences in scale of operations. On the raw materials front, critical
components accounting for 50-55% of value are imported, though we expect the higher
cost of these raw materials to be partially offset by lower labour costs in India. On an
overall basis we expect Indian factory manufacturing costs to be 4% higher than in

21 September 2020 34
Goldman Sachs India

China. However, the biggest difference is due to the impact of negative operating
leverage given the current Indian AC market is only ~10% the size of China’s. Further,
India’s logistics costs are significantly higher than those in the US and China
(manufacturing as a % of GDP is 17% for India, vs 45% in China and 28% for the US)
with higher logistics costs driven by higher inventory holding costs and no major SEZ or
tax holidays currently provided. As a result on an overall basis we think total cost of
manufacturing ACs in India currently is at least 25% higher than in China.

Voltas (Buy, on CL): We expect Make in India to integrate global manufacturing
capability with local assembly. Backward integration over time should prove to be more
advantageous for OEMs/ODMs and players like Voltas with large market share given
economies of scale (one-quarter of India’s market, as of FY2020) and strong
distribution networks. In our view, Voltas will grow faster than peers and achieve critical

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
mass first among peers, which is needed to benefit from “MII” and the shift to
domestic manufacturing. With strong support from its parent company (Tata Group), we
expect Voltas to successfully collabourate with global players similar to what was seen
in the Voltas-Beko JV. Our FY20-25 earnings grow at a 16% CAGR for Voltas (vs 6% over
the past five years).

Valuation: We expect Voltas – the leader in India’s air conditioner (AC) market – to
continue leveraging its strong product portfolio and extensive distribution reach over the
medium term. In the process, we expect Voltas to be a major beneficiary of demand
growth in India’s AC market and – coupled with its exposure to the robust mechanical,
electrical and plumbing (MEP) segment – to drive a strong earnings CAGR of 16% in
FY20-25E. In our recent report on India’s air-conditioner market, we highlighted how
production-linked incentive schemes, and other policy reforms could help Indian
companies source more domestically, and how Voltas (Buy, on CL) is well-positioned as
a company with the scale that could do incremental backward integration. Our
unchanged 12-month SOTP-based target price of Rs680 is derived by valuing the
business on FY25E earnings and discounting back three years to FY22E.

Key risks: Increased pricing competition, margin pressures from commodity price
inflation, and supply-chain disruptions from an immediate ban on imports.

Havells (Neutral): Havells acquired the Lloyds Brand from LEEL (Lloyd Electrical and
Engineering Limited) in May 2017. The Lloyds brand currently has a market share of

21 September 2020 37
Goldman Sachs India

~11% in the Indian AC market. Initially, the majority of Lloyds products were imported
from China. However, recently Havells inaugurated a new AC plant in Ghiloth,
Rajasthan, with an annual capacity of 1mn ACs. In this production facility, Havells will
be manufacturing the moulds, copper tubing (heat exchangers) and assembly of the Air
Conditioners. The plant is highly automated. With this the company plans to increase the
locally sourced components in its ACs and reduce its dependency on global imports.
However, as stated by the company, it plans to continue the imports of the key
components.

We have incorporated the benefits of domestic manufacturing in its outer year margins
for Havells achieved through more domestic integration. (This is only for the current
commissioned plant). We remain Neutral on Havells (unchanged 12-month TP of Rs560),
the other AC company in our coverage, given the limited upside potential driven by its
relatively smaller AC business (17% of FY20 revenues) and what looks a premium
valuation (52X FY22E P/E).
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

Valuation: We are Neutral on Havells. We value the company on 38x (unchanged) P/E
multiple to FY25E to capture longer-term growth, and discount it back three years to
derive our 12-month price target of Rs560.

Key risks: Upside: 1) higher government incentives for the housing sector, and 2)
faster-than-expected pick-up in the home building segment in India. Downside: 1) failure
to scale up meaningfully, 2) high competition resulting in lower profitability and 3)
longer-than-expected lockdowns related to Covid-19.

Not Covered companies with potential exposure to the MII theme and

(three factories) and strong parentage, though similar to Havells, air conditioners only
form a small part of its overall revenue.

Defence offers significant opportunity, but there have been false starts in
the past
With one of the largest armed forces in terms of headcount in the world, India imports
60-70% of its arms each year from various countries – it is one of the world’s largest
arms importers. About 40% of the defence budget (annual allocation of US$D35-40bn)
is spent on capital acquisitions, with US$100-150bn to be spent on defence
modernization programmes by 2025 based on the current run-rate. The government is
the sole purchaser of defence equipment. Allowed FDI ownership in defence-related

companies was increased to 49% from 26% (in May 2014) and was recently (on 16th

Key challenges for the domestic private sector: 1) The biggest hindrance in the
private sector’s participation so far has been its lack of technology, specially for high-end
equipment. 2) Single source procurement from the private sector is still not considered
ideal in defence, given sensitivity around the nature of the business. 3) Defence
Research and Development Organization (DRDO), the agency under the Ministry of
Defence in charge of military research and development, and domestic industry are not
engaged in the initial planning processes, in our view. 4) Defence orders tend to take a
long time, and can often see long delays. 5) Companies with prior experience in
supplying defence equipment, particularly PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) tend to do
better in tenders than private sector players. 6) The defence industry requires a highly
skilled labour force. 7) Strong R&D skills are required.

The government has started to focus on localisation: The increase in FDI percentage
recently is a step towards higher localisation. This will also facilitate the development
and production of high-end technology systems within the country. A wide range of
technologies and systems – like missile technology, remote weapon systems and
advanced armor solutions which are currently imported – could be localised as
partnerships between international and local companies proceed, in our view. We would

21 September 2020 40
Goldman Sachs India

see large opportunities for SMEs, which can operate as subcontractors to many of the
PSUs as well as private sector players undertaking these defence procurement
contracts. As the government of India has now allowed 74% FDI in the sector recently,
various foreign players may now set up their businesses with the help of Indian
companies – as the foreign firms can have higher control of their patented technology
once they own a majority stake.

Defence sector reforms:

1. Revision of FDI limit: The FDI limit in defence manufacturing under the automatic
route (i.e. does not require prior approval from the Government of India or the
Reserve Bank of India) was raised from 49% to 74%.
2. Set-up of the Project Management Unit (PMU) (for contract management
purposes): This should aid time-bound defence procurement and faster
decision-making.
3. Reduction in Defence Import Bill: According to a government notice in early
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

August 2020, a list of weapons/platforms was banned for import with immediate
effect and such items can only be purchased from the domestic market. A list of 101
items had already been declared, which included some high-tech weapon systems
like artillery guns, assault rifles, corvettes, sonar systems, transport aircraft, light
combat helicopters (LCHs), radars and other items.
4. Separate budget provision for domestic capital procurement.
5. Corporatisation of the Ordinance Factory Board (government companies that are
structured as boards and not as corporates, which results in less accountability and
weaker reporting) will drive higher reporting standards: It will include public
disclosure of some units, ensuring a more efficient interface of the manufacturer
with the designer and end-user.

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
Covered companies: Key beneficiaries from MII theme and associated
government schemes
Larsen & Toubro (Buy): L&T is one of India’s largest domestic private sector defence
companies. With the government of India’s renewed push towards domestic defence
procurement and a list of 101 products (link) being banned from imports, the prospects
for the defence business again seem to be picking up for L&T. Management in our
recent meeting (link) indicated that the company can manufacture close to 50% of the
products from that list, however management added that historically defense orders
have tended to progress slowly, hence they believe prospects could take time to
materialize into orders. Near term, we believe the submarine order for which L&T is one
of the two shortlisted prospects could be a big potential order win (link), and remains a
key development to watch out for. L&T also recently received an order from the Ministry
of Defence for supply of the ‘four regiments of the Pinaka Weapons system’. However,
defence still forms a small percentage of L&T’s orders and revenue. As of 31st March
2020, defence was less than 5% of L&T’s orderbook and about a similar % of revenue.

BHEL (Sell): BHEL is majority owned by GOI (63% share) and has three main business

21 September 2020 41

verticals: Power, Industrial and International operations. Within the Industrial business,
Defence and Aerospace form a key part of BHEL’s offering. The company supplies heat
exchangers, cryogenic tanks, titanium shells / domes customized for defense
applications. Over time BHEL has also developed the capability to manufacture defence
systems through partnerships and technology transfers from OEMs. Recently (7th Feb
2020 (link)), the company has signed an MOU with Bharat Electronics Limited to jointly
develop and market products and systems for defence applications.

Not Covered companies with potential exposure to the MII theme and associated

Autos and auto ancillaries: The best Make in India story has a long runway
for localization

Pramod Kumar This section has been authored by our India Automobiles team
+91 22 6616-9043
Also, see our concurrently published: India Automobiles: A $15bn localization
pramod.kumar@gs.com opportunity.
Goldman Sachs India SPL
At over 40% of India’s manufacturing GDP and with exports at c.20% of 2W/car
production, we see automobiles as the best Make in India story. The industry imports
c.US$15bn of components annually, making it a significant player in the government’s
import localization plans. Incremental localization will impact component makers directly,
in terms of top-line growth, while for OEMs, the benefit is potentially lower costs, less
FX volatility and faster time to market. With rising tariffs / FX moves and geo-political
headwinds, the industry is fast-tracking localization plans, which could entail higher
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

investments in the near / medium terms but would strengthen the sector as a global
hub for small cars, 2Ws and components, in our view.

With BS6 and tougher safety norms in place, c.23%/c.15%/c.12% of car/CV/2W


content (direct + indirect sourcing) is imported, based on industry check and our
estimates. Collectively, this translates into c.US$10bn in annual imports for the car
industry (led by electronics, transmissions, body parts, and other components)
and US$5bn in annual imports for 2W and CV parts.

The export opportunity is quite significant, as 2W makers - Bajaj and TVS - already
export c.47% and c.26% of their production, respectively. Even for the car industry,
export volumes have stood at c.20% of overall production in the past two years. The
component makers offer a bigger export opportunity with 27% of revenue coming from
export markets such as Europe (33%) and the US (25%), as per ACMA. For example,

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
Bharat Forge gets over 55% of revenue from exports.

Localization a key priority


The companies cite the higher cost of imports, volatility in costs due to FX movements
and longer lead times as key reasons driving localization. The supply chain across
sectors was impacted during 1QCY20 due to the lockdowns in China. Sharp INR
depreciation has accelerated localization in the past.

Rising import hurdles in terms of rising duties and regulatory intervention are further
accelerating the localization plans. At the same time the government is incentivizing FDI
with lower tax rates (c.15%) on new manufacturing facilities, vs. c.25% for older ones,
and fast-tracking of approvals.

Covered companies: Key beneficiaries from MII theme and associated


government schemes
The component makers are the biggest beneficiaries due to the revenue opportunity,
while OEMs benefit from potentially lower costs and reduced supply chain uncertainty

21 September 2020 44
Goldman Sachs India

(duties, restrictions etc). Localization of 2W components should be faster due to lower


tech barriers, while for cars meaningful localization would happen with localization of
electronics and transmissions.

TVS Motor (Buy): TVS’s import exposure stands at c.15% (vs. peers 7-8%) led by
electronic components and advanced parts sourced from vendors (Fi/ABS parts and EV
parts). TVS aims to lower its import exposure by c.2% every year to lower costs,
improve time to market and reduce Fx volatility. TVS is expanding its presence in
2W/3W export markets (c.26%/of volumes/revenue) and is looking to grow it faster than
its domestic business.

Maruti Suzuki (Buy): Biggest car maker in India (50% market share) with import
exposure (direct+indirect) of c.15% of revenues, led by electronics and specialty steel.
Maruti management in their 1QFY21 call talked about an aggressive localization plan for
non-electronic parts over the next few years. Separately, Maruti is also looking at
stepping up its exports (6% of vols) through the Suzuki-Toyota alliance.
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

Mahindra & Mahindra(Buy): M&M stands to benefit from local sourcing of defense
equipment (mobility, aircrafts and radar systems). Moreover, the M&M-Ford JV aims to
localize and build compact SUVs in India for both Indian and global markets.

Bajaj Auto (Neutral): Largest exporter among Indian auto OEMs, with revenue
contribution of c.43% and strong presence in Africa, LatAm, Middle East and South
Asia. Bajaj owns 49% of KTM and KTM’s global 390cc and below portfolio is made in
India. Bajaj also has an alliance with Triumph to develop mid-sized motorcycles in India
for global markets.

Bosch Ltd (Sell): The listed Indian arm of Robert Bosch GMBH is working towards
localization of parts and technologies used for BS6 and EVs in India, along with other
unlisted Bosch’s Indian entities. However, Bosch Ltd currently has substantial import
exposure from Robert Bosch’s China JV Weifu High Technologies. The localization of

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
imports would result in significant revenue loss to Robert Bosch’s China JV.

Not Covered companies with potential exposure to the MII theme and associated
government schemes
As part of our overall industry analysis we also look at a number of Not Covered
companies in the segment with potential exposure to the MII theme.

Bharat Forge: One of the leading auto forging companies in the world with c.55%
revenue coming from exports. There have been recent restrictions on import of some
defense equipment, and we note that Bharat Forge has a diversified presence in
defense verticals with very high levels of localization.

Endurance Technologies: The company is working on localizing low cost ABS systems
and disc brakes in India, which have been mandatory for premium 2Ws since 2019.

Varroc: The company has formed a JV with Dell’Orto to localize and supply Fi units (for
2Ws), which have become necessary since BS6. The company is also ramping up its
electronics business to benefit from the increased demand for localized parts.

21 September 2020 45
Goldman Sachs India

Minda Industries: The company has a wide array of products (alloy wheels,
infotainment systems, safety systems, sensors etc) and is hence exposed to a potential
increase in import duties/restrictions on after-market accessory imports.

Tyre companies: The government in Jun’20 put curbs on the import of tires used in
cars, two-wheelers and commercial vehicles, moving it from list of free imports to the
‘restricted’ category, as part of a strategy to buoy the domestic industry. MRF, Apollo
Tyres, Ceat and JK Tyre are the domestic-focused listed tyre companies that are
exposed to this.

aditya.soman@gs.com textiles and clothing in the fiscal year ended March 2019, with imports of US$6.8 bn. We
Goldman Sachs India SPL believe recent trade disagreements elsewhere present an opportunity for India to pick
up some market share in global textiles and apparel exports. India is already the 2nd
largest textile exporter and the 6th largest clothing exporter in the world.

In textile exports, India gained global market share (280 bp) faster than most other large
Asian exporters except China (2,940 bp) between 1998 and 2018. On the other hand,
while India’s global share of clothing has grown by 80bp between 1998-2018, its share
gains have underperformed other Asian countries such as China (1,580 bp), Bangladesh
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

(460 bp), Vietnam (500 bp) and Cambodia (160bp). This underperformance is even more
stark between 2008-2018, when China lost share but most of the share lost was picked
up by Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Why has India underperformed in garment exports?

In terms of a regional shift, India has missed out to Vietnam in exports to North America
and to Bangladesh in exports to Europe. We think this underperformance in clothing has
largely been a function of four factors:

1. India has mid-range product pricing when compared with other Asian garment
exporters, with higher prices compared with Bangladesh/Pakistan/Cambodia, lower
prices than Sri Lanka and similar pricing to China and Vietnam and Indonesia.
Despite low labour costs and a well-developed cotton-textile-apparel supply chain,
Indian garment manufacturing suffers due to more dispersed and small scale of

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
manufacturing facilities, limited supply chain investments and lower productivity. In
addition, India faces higher import duties in markets such as the European Union
and Canada when compared with exporters such as Bangladesh, whose exports do
not attract any import duties.
2. Buyer perceptions of non-cost factors: Buyers perceive that India’s supply-chain and
logistics are weaker, especially when compared with China and Southeast Asian
countries, which offer faster lead times and greater reliability of supplies (see Exhibit
below). Also, buyers have a weaker perception of quality, social compliance and
sustainability than for China and Southeast Asia (see Exhibit below).
3. Lower focus on exports due to a larger domestic opportunity when compared with
smaller Asian economies, leading to higher import tariffs to protect domestic
markets from imports. This makes it more difficult to incorporate India in a global
supply chain even if labour costs are competitive.
4. Limited incentives for foreign investment have led to the textile and clothing sector
attracting less than 1% of the FDI directed to India over 2001-2015.

How can India gain share in global apparel exports?

While India can improve its cost of manufacturing, we think the main difference in
gaining market share is in softer factors that impact buyers’ perceptions of importing
from India. Three factors which could drive change:

1. More foreign investment in the textile sector, on the back of improving ease of doing
business, incentives for large-scale manufacturing and a tax structure suitable to fit
in the global supply chain. Indian firms also need to improve the diversity of their
manufacturing to reduce reliance on cotton products. This may be a contentious
policy change as it may require opening up India’s domestic apparel market to
imports and we think that consequently steps would need to be taken to ensure
domestic manufacturers remain competitive. To this extent, we think moves to
remove anti-dumping duty on polyester raw material in the FY21 budget are positive
in terms of allowing better integration with global supply chains. Additionally, we
note the government has announced several incentives for small industries and a
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

US$200 mn investment for developing technical textiles in India.


2. Improved logistics and supply infrastructure. Global buyers have noted extended
lead times in exports from India as well as the quality of infrastructure including
transportation, power and facilitation of global trade. Investment in these areas
could improve buyers’ perceptions and lead to increases in imports from India.
Power supply has gradually improved over the years though manufacturers still note
higher power rates in India. Additionally, the development of trade corridors could
reduce lead times.
3. Labour market reforms, including in terms of availability of skilled and unskilled
labour. Also the sector can drive better outcomes for women’s employment, as has
been seen in other Asian countries and even with Indian companies like Page
Industries.

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
Where does India differ from China and what needs to change?

Cost of manufacturing in India is actually similar to China. However it is the non-cost


factors where India lags China significantly, especially logistics, lead times, quality
perceptions and availability of skilled manpower.

Covered companies: Key beneficiaries from the MII theme and associated
government schemes
Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail (Buy): ADIA is one of the leading apparel manufacturers
in India, and we believe favourable policies for manufacturing and exports of apparel
from India can lower cost of manufacturing, which would allow India and ADIA to
compete with other exporters

Page Industries (Sell): PAGE owns the franchises for Jockey and Speedo in India, and
with favourable laws and taxation policies we think PAGE could lower its cost of
manufacturing, which could lower the price differential compared to unbranded players
in India.

The global API exports industry was worth US$74bn in 2019, growing c. 5% p.a. China
dominates the market, contributing c. 46% of global API exports supply. The top
destinations for Chinese API are India, US and Japan, as they source the raw material to
convert into finished dosage formulations. We believe India’s Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients (API) manufacturers could benefit from Make in India friendly policies, as
they serve large domestic demand while also leveraging on export opportunities given
the backdrop of dual-sourcing requirements for global supplies.

PLI scheme forecast to boost topline for local manufacturers by 400bps in

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
the medium term
We estimate the size of India’s API market to be at Rs670bn (US$9bn) in FY20, growing
at 10% pa over the past three years. After backing out DGCIS sourced imports, the
residual API that is manufactured domestically is at Rs428bn (US$5.7bn), or about
two-thirds the revenue share. China-manufactured API is at around 25%, while ROW is
the remaining 12%. Our model does not include API manufactured for captive
formulations and will likely under-estimate the level of backward integration efforts that
companies are pursuing. Based on commentary from the Trade Promotion Council of
India, even for locally manufactured API, up to 85% of the key starting material is from
China.

With an objective to attain self-reliance and reduce import dependence in critical key
starting materials (KSM), the Indian government introduced a production linked incentive
(PLI) scheme for 53 critical medicines, with a total outlay of Rs69.4bn (c. US$1bn) over
the next 6 years. Out of 53 identified bulk drugs, 26 are fermentation based bulk drugs
(antibiotics and niche KSM) while 27 are chemical synthesis based bulk drugs (essential
medicines for diabetes, cardio vascular, pain etc). The rate of incentive is 20 % (on
incremental sales over FY20 base) for fermentation based bulk drugs and 10% for

21 September 2020 53
Goldman Sachs India

chemical synthesis based ones. The higher incentive for fermentation based drugs is
reflective of the production cost differential in our view, as exports from say China have
lower power/utility costs, common effluent treatment as well as access to lower-cost
funding. We believe the government’s push has witnessed early progress, based on our
industry checks, as formulators have been actively looking at alternate suppliers: Key
chemical API (DCDA/PAP/2-MNI/CDA) from China has already seen a decline of 17% in
FY20.

We forecast India based manufacturers to see accelerating API sales for FY21-26 (the
six years during which the PLI scheme was run), by seeing a progressive decline in
imports from China for these key drugs. The erosion in imports should be higher for
fermentation-based drugs and lower for the chemical synthesis ones. We believe
domestic manufacturers will see their top-line CAGR improve by 400bps from the 10%
over FY18-20 to 14% (FY20-26E) driven by this program. We forecast imports of API
from China decline by a 9% CAGR during this period, as we believe Chinese exporters
will likely respond to Indian-based manufacturers’ incentives with lower pricing, in an

API exports represent an additional lever for growth


The other lever that India’s API manufacturers are tapping into is the exports business,
which was worth around Rs300bn (India’s API exports) in FY20, growing c. 5% pa, as
per DGCIS data. Given that dual-sourcing mandates are starting to pick up for API, we
believe there is significant upside for India-made API exports to increase from the
current 5% global share in 2019 as India gains share from Chinese API. The two
combined (domestic and exports) represent close to a Rs1tn (US$14bn) opportunity and
growing at high single digits on a blended basis.

Availability of talent, consistent track record are key advantages


Availability of pharmaceutical talent as well as a proven track record of consistent
supplies, especially in generic drugs and high potency chemical APIs, are both
advantages which we think the Indian pharmaceutical industry has more runway to
develop on. The Indian government is targeting self-sufficiency in key

fermentation-based APIs and high-volume essential chemical starting materials. With


the right infrastructure and credit support, India’s pharma companies are looking to use
their differentiated technology platforms in API manufacturing to help lower average cost
of manufacturing even in more commoditized APIs, where China is the leader. However,
this could be a longer-term process and requires regular dialogue between industry and
policy-makers.

Cheaper raw materials and lower utility costs drive cost differential for
China
Our conversations with industry participants indicate that Chinese fermentation-based
API and key starting materials are 20-25%+ cheaper than Indian-made equivalents. We
attribute India’s higher cost of manufacturing on fermentation-based and commoditized
high-volume APIs vs China to three main reasons: (1) Power/fuel/water: Chinese bulk
drug manufacturing parks operate at larger scale and are therefore spreading shared
infrastructure costs (power/fuel/water) over a much larger base of volume. (2) Stage of
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

advancement of chemicals industry: China has a more advanced chemicals


manufacturing industry, which is critical for the development of scale in the
pharmaceutical industry, which is further downstream from chemicals. (3) Level of
credit support in ecosystem: Chinese companies engaged in API manufacturing are
mostly operating out of fully written down plants. Most of these companies have at
different points in time received credit support from policy-makers. Industrial land
allotment has also been a smoother process than in India. At a recent panel discussion
on Making Pharmaceuticals in India, participants from three API manufacturing
companies, Granules, Solara and Laurus Labs, communicated that credit cost
subvention schemes in China, though not the only factor, have been a significant
component in making large-scale manufacturing of high-volume APIs there sustainable.

Covered companies: Key beneficiaries from MII theme and associated


government schemes
Aurobindo and Sun could benefit on API; DIVI on custom synthesis

Aurobindo Pharma (Buy): Aurobindo Pharma is one of India’s largest exporters of


generic pharmaceuticals. It has the broadest product portfolio among Indian companies
operating in the US and Europe and consequent scale makes it a potential beneficiary
from the PLI scheme announced by the government for API localization. Management
has been assessing this scheme since the end of March 2020 when it was announced,
as Aurobindo has 21 molecules which overlap with the list.

Sun Pharma (Sell): Sun Pharma is India’s largest pharmaceutical company, with an
increasing focus on specialty pharmaceutical and biologics products. Its scale and focus
on both the domestic India market (market leader) and emerging markets make a case
for participation in the PLI scheme, as there are ~14 molecules in its API portfolio which
overlap with the list framed by the government.
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

Divi’s Labs (Buy, on CL): Divi’s Labs is one of the best ways to get exposure to the
India CMO and generic API industry, in our view. The company looks well-positioned to
benefit from a shift in global API sourcing. Its differentiated business with exposure to
custom manufacturing looks likely to represent a more sustainable opportunity for
localization, given that this is not a high volume segment (but high value). For custom
manufacturing, price consideration is less important than factors like turnaround time
and reliability of supply, helping Divi’s localization efforts.

Not Covered companies with potential exposure to the MII theme and
associated government schemes
As part of our overall industry analysis we also look at a number of Not Covered
companies in the segment with potential exposure to the MII theme.

Aarti Drugs, Alembic Pharma and Solara: These companies are all API focused scale
players with market leadership in disparate molecules that are a key focus. In public
calls held since the announcement of the PLI scheme, all have indicated business cases
for participation in the scheme or signs of improvement in the regulatory environment
(faster approvals for proposed API capacity etc).

their contribution to this costs in China to produce APIs. Along with the industry upgrades, API manufacturing
section has been relocated from city centers to urban areas, from top-tier to lower-tier cities,
and the government is implementing higher pollution control regulations, which has led
to consolidation of API businesses in China.

Chinese API prices declined between 2013 and 2017, amid intense competition among
the players. Starting from 2015, the Chinese government tightened oversight on
industrial pollution in response to environmental concerns, which accelerated in
2017/18. This led to significant pullback in supply growth and Chinese API prices started
inching up in 2018 and 2019. Following the impact of COVID-19, we saw tighter supply
conditions and logistic disruptions push up prices, especially in those bulk drugs where
China dominates (antibiotics and fermentation-based products).

IT spending in India is low, at just 1.9% of GDP, vs the global figure of 2.9% and highs of
sumeet.x.jain@gs.com 6.3%/5.4% of GDP in the UK and US, respectively. This implies significant scope for
Goldman Sachs India SPL increases in technology spending by Indian enterprises as they adopt more digital tools.
Over the past two decades, India’s IT services industry has seen a strong 20% CAGR,
growing from revenue of US$5.5bn in FY2000 to US$191bn in FY2020, led largely by
exports. Indian government incentives to the industry around creation of SEZs (Special
Economic Zones) with tax benefits helped propel the growth of the industry. Going
forward, apart from export-driven growth, we see Indian IT services companies
participating pro-actively in India’s digital initiatives (on areas such as GSTN (Goods &
Services Tax Network), Taxation, Passports, MNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural

companies for their core banking products, like SBI using TCS BaNCS, ICICI using INFY’s
Finacle) as well as around SaaS (Software-As-A- Service). In 2019, the Government of
India approved the National Policy of Software Products to make India a big center for
software products by 2025 with primary focus on IP creation and up-skilling. India’s
large engineering talent pool is trained on various digital technologies; in our view, this
should be a key enabler for Make In India initiatives across industries.

India’s SaaS market: Potential to grow 6x by 2025

Historically, Indian IT was primarily involved in lower-value outsourcing work, which


involved less Intellectual Property, and labour cost arbitrage being the key value
proposition. However, over the last few years, Indian IT services companies along with a
large number of startups have invested heavily in digital services, platforms and
products to move up in the value chain. For instance, some marquee core banking
software products like TCS BaNCS and INFY’s Finacle are now offered “As-A-Service”
hosted out of cloud. Given the increasing acceptance of the ‘as-a-service’ model globally
and the nascent stage of the Indian SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) industry, we believe
SaaS has the biggest growth runway in India over the next few years (see section
below). With concerns globally around data security (India banning Chinese Apps,
US/China trade issues, etc.), the Indian Government’s push to digitize the economy and
‘Make in India’, and availability of PE/VC funding; we think the SaaS market could be a
big beneficiary with a fast-growing domestic, as well as export market. India’s SaaS
industry has seen stellar growth over FY18-20, with a 29% CAGR taking the total
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

market size of the industry to US$3.5bn (FY20). Pure-play Indian SaaS companies make
up over 70% of the total market in FY20, with global SaaS companies selling their
solutions in India comprising 16-18% and Indian IT service providers accounting for the
rest. Exports from India for these SaaS companies comprise about 75% of the total
India SaaS revenues in FY20, with the rest coming from the domestic market. We
expect acceleration of digitalization post COVID-19 could further boost revenue growth
for India’s SaaS industry over the near to medium term. NASSCOM expects pure-play
India SaaS revenues to grow 6X by FY25 to reach US$13-15bn, implying a CAGR of
c. 40% over the same period.

The global SaaS market is currently worth c. US$100bn (FY20) and is dominated by US
companies that make up around 60% of the overall market. Gartner expects the global
SaaS market to double by FY25, growing at a 15% CAGR. The top 5 SaaS vendors
globally (Microsoft, Salesforce, Adobe, SAP and Oracle) make up over 50% of the total

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
global SaaS market currently. India pure play SaaS players’ market share in the global
SaaS market, at 2.5% currently, is expected to reach 7% by FY25 (as per NASSCOM).

In terms of covered companies that we think could be key beneficiaries from the MII
theme and associated government schemes, we note that companies within our
large-cap coverage have also developed their own SaaS offerings which are likely to

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
benefit from the exponential growth of the SaaS market in India. The SaaS products of
India IT service companies include TCS (Buy) – ignio and BaNCS, Infosys (CL Buy) –
Finacle, Wipro (Sell) – Holmes and HCL (Neutral) – AGORA. Apart from these, the
companies under our coverage are also ecosystem partners for some of these SaaS
vendors and have also made early stage investments in the same, which should also
benefit from the growth of the SaaS market in India.

India IT services market: Increasing participation in the domestic market


While not a direct beneficiary of ‘Make in India’, we think the domestic IT Services
spend (both government and private) is likely to benefit, given ‘digitization’ is seen as a
key infrastructure backbone to execute ‘Make in India’. On the government side, this is
already evident from some recent deal wins by larger Indian IT players from various
government bodies around social media analytics and digitization of passport, taxation,
MNREGA, Smart Cities etc. Also, corporates which are direct beneficiaries of ‘Make in
India’ are likely to invest in IT to compete on technology and costs with global peers.
With the outlook on Domestic spend improving, partly due to ‘Make in India’, we think
larger companies are likely to invest and take market share, and see TCS (given its scale

21 September 2020 63
Goldman Sachs India

– with the highest market share of 8%) and Tech Mahindra (given its exposure to 5G,
telecom) as the biggest beneficiaries.

India currently generates US$135bn from IT-BPM exports (as of FY20), while the
domestic IT-BPM market has annual revenues of US$15.4bn (as of FY20). We believe
the post-COVID-19 era will bring another wave of outsourcing as global enterprises look
to reduce costs. Digital technologies are gaining scale, and late cycle beneficiaries like
India IT are likely to benefit as enterprises get more comfortable with the concept of
offshoring due to an extended remote working period during the pandemic. We believe
this, combined with cyclical factors like the pick-up in global growth, are likely to lead to
a phase of low- to mid-double-digit growth for the industry over the next three years. For
more details see our recent report India Technology: IT Services: Dawn of another
Outsourcing Wave, TCS up to Buy; Buy INFY/TechM (both on CL).

We have seen increased participation on key projects for digitization of India by large
Indian IT service companies recently. Some examples include:
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

n L&T Infotech’s US$100mn deal from the Central Board of Direct Taxes India to use
social media analytics to identify tax non-compliance.
n TCS has been involved with multiple government digitization initiatives including
Passport, MNREGA and India Post projects.
n Large Indian banks use core banking software of Indian IT service companies, like
State Bank of India uses TCS BaNCS, and ICICI Bank use Infosys’s Finacle.
n Tech Mahindra is involved in multiple smart city projects in India and has recently
partnered with SAP and AWS to bring India’s government services into the cloud.

The domestic India IT services market is expected to grow at a 7% CAGR over the next
5 years, as per Gartner, and we think ‘Make in India’ could potentially accelerate that
growth, closing the gap with China (expected to grow at a 12% CAGR over the next 5
years, as per Gartner). While Indian IT companies are key players in the export market,

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
the domestic market size of India’s IT services sector is only 1/3 that of China, and
spend on IT is around 1.9% of GDP (vs ~3% globally). Also, India’s domestic market is
much more fragmented, with the Top 4 domestic players accounting for only 15%
market share, compared to China where the Top 4 players account for ~30% market
share. With the outlook on domestic spend improving, partly due to ‘Make in India’, we
think larger companies are likely to invest and take market share.

TMT: Smartphone manufacturing to get incremental push

Manish Adukia, CFA This section has been authored by our India Telecommunications team
+91 22 6616-9049
India is the world’s second-largest smartphone market, with a base of 450 mn
manish.adukia@gs.com subscribers as of FY20 (March 20), and annual smartphone shipments of c.150 mn. At
Goldman Sachs India SPL an ASP of US$160-170, this translates into a US$25 bn annual smartphone market.
However, India is heavily reliant on imports in this category; while the number of fully
imported mobile handset units continues to come down to less than 10% of total
mobile phone demand in India in FY19 (link), or c.20% of total smartphone demand per
GSe, more than 80% of components for smartphones are sourced abroad. We note that
this proportion continues to see a declining trend (it was 90% two-three years ago), but
also note local sourcing remains low-to-negligible for components that require high
technical know-how such as Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), camera modules, displays,
etc. Thus while most smartphone brands state that a large proportion of their products
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

are locally manufactured, such manufacturing is restricted to low value-add components


such as accessories, and assembly of smartphones.

We believe for the entire manufacturing supply chain to move to India will be a gradual
process, and will likely require significant amount of investment. The Government of
India recently announced a Production Linked Incentive scheme (PLI) for manufacturing
of electronics. This entails incentives of 4-6% on incremental sales (over base year
FY20) of goods manufactured in India, with up to Rs410 bn (US$5.5 bn) of incentives
over five years. This could potentially translate into >US$100 bn of incremental
smartphone/electronics manufacturing in the country over this period of five years. Per
press reports, Samsung, and contract manufacturers of Apple, such as Foxconn Hon
Hai, Rising Star, Wistron and Pegatron, have noted interest in this scheme. In addition,
seven domestic firms have applied for this scheme, with names such as Lava Group,
Dixon Technologies, Bhagwati (Micromax), among others.

8bd945a2aae711ddbe450014c24035ec
We expect the incentive scheme to provide a push to domestic electronics
manufacturing. The Government of India has said that US$150 bn of mobile components
etc. will be manufactured as part of this scheme, including US$60 bn worth of exports.
The government expects domestic value addition for smartphones to move from
low-teens at present to 35-40%. Per press reports, Samsung is likely to move part of its
smartphone production in India, with plans to make US$40 bn of smartphones over the
next five years, including US$25 bn of handsets in the >US$200 category, mostly for
exports.

Within our India coverage, in terms of key beneficiaries from the MII theme and
associated government schemes, we note that Reliance Industries (Buy, on Conviction
list), which has announced plans to manufacture 4G/5G smartphones in partnership with
Google, can potentially benefit from lower costs as supply chains move to India.

Per our estimates, domestic manufacturing faces a cost disadvantage of 10-15% vs


other countries such as China and Vietnam, and thus we remain uncertain on the extent
to which the PLI scheme will help move electronics manufacturing to the country.

21 September 2020 67
Goldman Sachs India

However, we see this as a step in the right direction. In addition, we note that the Indian
Government is also adopting the approach of levying additional duties on incremental
imports of certain products; for example, India recently levied a 10% safeguard duty on
single mode optical fiber; we note companies such as Sterlite Technologies (Not
Covered) have exposure to this area.

Logistics: A key enabler for Make in India

Pulkit Patni This section has been authored by our India Industrials and Utilities team
+91 22 6616-9044
One of the roadblocks to an acceleration in manufacturing in India has been the
pulkit.patni@gs.com relatively inefficient freight road and rail infrastructure, and warehousing. Total logistics
Goldman Sachs India SPL costs in India as per the RBI are ~14% of GDP (compared to 8.5% for the US and 18%
in China) in 2016, and inventory holding costs in India are 6.9% of GDP (above China at
6.5%, and the US at 3%). However, the government has pushed investments in building
out rail infrastructure (with the Dedicated Freight Corridor), Waterways (under the
Sagarmala Project), and Road network (under the Bharatmala Project) to improve the
logistics infrastructure, which could provide the required impetus to the manufacturing
sector in India over the medium to long term.

Waterways: Developing inland and port infrastructure (Sagarmala Project)


For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

The Sagarmala Project is a GoI initiative to unlock the logistics potential of waterways
and the Indian coastline to boost manufacturing in India, and the scheme entails
numerous initiatives including setting up new ports, modernizing India’s existing ports,
developing Coastal Economic Zones (CEZs), and improving road/rail connectivity to
ports. Given that waterways have the lowest transportation cost (per tonne), and India’s
waterways have remained under-utilized compared to other countries, significant
investments and development under the Sagarmala Project could help lower logistics
costs and provide a boost to manufacturing in India.

Railways: Dedicated Freight Corridor


Dedicated Freight Corridor: The Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) is one of the largest
infrastructure projects undertaken by Indian Railways. Dedicated Freight Corridor
Corporation of India (DFCCIL) is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) set up under the
Ministry of Railways responsible for constructing ~3,300km of high-speed railway
corridors dedicated only for freight movement along Delhi-Mumbai (Western Dedicated
Freight Corridor) and Delhi-Kolkata (Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor) at a total cost of
roughly INR 900 bn (US$16bn).

Currently, the passenger and freight traffic runs on the same Indian Railways network,
leading to delays and higher costs. We think once the DFC is fully operational, it should
significantly reduce both the transit times and the cost of transporting goods, which
could make manufacturing in India more attractive. Also, currently 76% of the container
volume for the western ports is transported by road, and we believe the DFC would help
rail gain market share from roads, and help reduce logistics costs further. Project details
and our expectations for the Western DFC are shared below.

Western Dedicated Freight Corridor

Goldman Sachs India

electric (2X 25 KV) track from JNPT and is being built in two Phases (Phase-1
Rewari-Vadodara and Phase-2 Vadodara-JNPT and Rewari-Dadri).
n Traffic: The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor should mostly cater to container
traffic between various western ports (JNPT, Mundra and Pipavav) and the northern
hinterland (Inland Container Depots of Dadri, Ludhiana, Tughlakabad). Indian
Railways estimates that close to 80% of the traffic on the WDFC would be
container traffic.
n Funding: The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor has received a JPY645 billion loan
from JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) (Phase I - JPY349 billion, Phase
II - JPY296 billion).
n We expect the container volume on the western DFC to reach ~6 mn TEUs by
FY2023 as we incorporate that rail share would increase to 35% from the current
24%. This would be 40-45% of the total containers handled by Indian ports. We
expect all the cargo from western ports meant for the north hinterland that currently
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

moves through Indian Railways to move to the Dedicated Freight Corridor, which
would ensure lower transit times. Also, we believe that DFC will provide a significant
challenge to the road sector as payloads permissible under the DFC for double
stacking will be 80 tons as compared to 61 tons under the current railway
infrastructure. Hence, the per-unit cost of transportation under railways will come
down meaningfully.

Robust highway network created

India has one of the largest road network in the world, spanning about 5.9mn kms.
These are a mix of rural roads, state roads and national highways. Highway construction
in India has increased at a 21% CAGR between FY16-19. In FY19, about 11000 kms of
highway was constructed. In April 2020, the Government has set a target of Rs15tn in
road construction over the next few years. We believe this in also a key enabler as wide
and dense road network reduces cost of transportation by reducing time to market.

strong foreign promoter. Pipavav Port will connect to the Western DFC at Mehsana
(near Palanpur). There is a line from Pipavav to Surendernagar (264 kms) which is
currently under construction. Surendernagar to Mehsana is a feeder line that will
further connect to the DFC accordingly. The Palanpur section of the Western DFC is
expected to be completed by March 2021, though with full commissioning some
time away.

double on the DFC. With the commissioning of the DFC, we expect the market
share of rail in freight transport of EXIM containers at the western Indian ports to
increase from 24% (FY19) to 31% by FY22E (when we expect DFC to be partially
open) and then to 35% by FY23E (when we expect DFC to be fully operational).

GS Factor Profile
The Goldman Sachs Factor Profile provides investment context for a stock by comparing key attributes to the market (i.e. our coverage universe) and its
sector peers. The four key attributes depicted are: Growth, Financial Returns, Multiple (e.g. valuation) and Integrated (a composite of Growth, Financial
Returns and Multiple). Growth, Financial Returns and Multiple are calculated by using normalized ranks for specific metrics for each stock. The
normalized ranks for the metrics are then averaged and converted into percentiles for the relevant attribute. The precise calculation of each metric may
vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region, but the standard approach is as follows:
Growth is based on a stock’s forward-looking sales growth, EBITDA growth and EPS growth (for financial stocks, only EPS and sales growth), with a
higher percentile indicating a higher growth company. Financial Returns is based on a stock’s forward-looking ROE, ROCE and CROCI (for financial
stocks, only ROE), with a higher percentile indicating a company with higher financial returns. Multiple is based on a stock’s forward-looking P/E, P/B,
price/dividend (P/D), EV/EBITDA, EV/FCF and EV/Debt Adjusted Cash Flow (DACF) (for financial stocks, only P/E, P/B and P/D), with a higher percentile
indicating a stock trading at a higher multiple. The Integrated percentile is calculated as the average of the Growth percentile, Financial Returns
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

percentile and (100% - Multiple percentile).


Financial Returns and Multiple use the Goldman Sachs analyst forecasts at the fiscal year-end at least three quarters in the future. Growth uses inputs
for the fiscal year at least seven quarters in the future compared with the year at least three quarters in the future (on a per-share basis for all metrics).
For a more detailed description of how we calculate the GS Factor Profile, please contact your GS representative.

M&A Rank
Across our global coverage, we examine stocks using an M&A framework, considering both qualitative factors and quantitative factors (which may vary
across sectors and regions) to incorporate the potential that certain companies could be acquired. We then assign a M&A rank as a means of scoring
companies under our rated coverage from 1 to 3, with 1 representing high (30%-50%) probability of the company becoming an acquisition target, 2
representing medium (15%-30%) probability and 3 representing low (0%-15%) probability. For companies ranked 1 or 2, in line with our standard
departmental guidelines we incorporate an M&A component into our target price. M&A rank of 3 is considered immaterial and therefore does not
factor into our price target, and may or may not be discussed in research.

Quantum is Goldman Sachs’ proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for

Ratings, coverage universe and related definitions


Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy or
Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock’s total return potential relative to its coverage universe. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on
an Investment List with an active rating (i.e., a stock that is not Rating Suspended, Not Rated, Coverage Suspended or Not Covered), is deemed
Neutral. Each region’s Investment Review Committee manages Regional Conviction lists, which represent investment recommendations focused on
the size of the total return potential and/or the likelihood of the realization of the return across their respective areas of coverage. The addition or
removal of stocks from such Conviction lists do not represent a change in the analysts’ investment rating for such stocks.
For the exclusive use of MICHAEL.DAVID@ADVISOR.BCG.COM

Total return potential represents the upside or downside differential between the current share price and the price target, including all paid or
anticipated dividends, expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The total
return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership.
Coverage Universe: A list of all stocks in each coverage universe is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage universe at
https://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html.
Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an
advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman
Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for
determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and
price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended
coverage of this company. Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The information
is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.
