Lagging behind the competition in SUV segment. Chip shortage is currently CMP (`): 6,802
holding back recovery in the domestic PV industry; however, we expect a strong Fair Value (`): 5,850
recovery in volumes from FY2023E, given strong underlying demand trends. MSIL has
BSE-30: 58,305
been losing market share over the past three years as the company has failed to react to
the rising competition in the SUV segment. With further increase in competitive
intensity, regaining lost market share will be challenging for MSIL. Retain SELL rating.

Near-term headwinds due to chip shortage; underlying demand trends remain strong
Over the past few months, the domestic PV industry has been facing production headwinds due
to a semi-conductor shortage globally. MSIL had to cut down its production in August and will
further scale down its production by 60% in September. The semi-conductor shortage is mainly
due to shutdown of factories in Malaysia due to rising Covid-19 cases. Given the uncertainly,
we expect the supply scenario to improve gradually over the next two quarters and possibly
normalize from FY2023E. As a result, we expect MSIL’s total volumes to grow by 17% yoy
(versus earlier estimate of 30% yoy) in FY2022E, which implies flattish growth on a yoy basis
during 2HFY22E. However, we expect a sharp recovery in wholesale volumes from FY2023E
due to (1) strong pent-up demand due to consumer’s preference for personal mobility, (2)
lower channel inventory and (3) strong order book and high waiting period for select models.
Market share loss due to lack of product launches in SUV segment remains an area of concern
MSIL’s retail market share in the domestic PV segment declined to 41.8% in FY2021 from
46.6% in FY2019 (see Exhibit 1). This can be mainly attributed to market share loss in the
compact SUV segment due to (1) an increase in competitive intensity and (2) lack of product
launches by MSIL over the past two years. Given the increasing consumer preference for SUV
segment (compact SUV mix has increased to 26.5% in FY2021 from 4% in FY2014), we believe
MSIL will have to aggressively launch products in order to regain lost market share. Also,
competitors have a number of upcoming line-up of SUV launches, which will make it
challenging for MSIL to regain its lost market share (refer Exhibit-2).
We have cut our FY2022 EPS estimates by 18% due to (1) 10% cut in volume assumptions and
(2) 100 bps cut in EBITDA margin assumptions. We have marginally cut our FY2023-24 EPS Rishi Vora
estimates as we expect strong recovery in volumes once the chip shortage issue resolves. We
maintain SELL rating and revise our FV to Rs5,850 (from Rs6,000 earlier). We value the core
business at 25X September 2023E EPS while cash per share is Rs1,484.
