Union Budget 2015-16: Vision, Execution or
Institutional Equity Research Union Budget 2015-16 | India Union Budget 2015-16: Vision, Execution or Hallucination? Finance Minister, Mr. Arun Jaitley, presented the second Budget for the new government in power. Notably, the market had reasonably high expectations from Union Budget 2015-16, this being the first full-year Budget by the new government post its historic win last year. Apart from this, the Budget this year was in the backdrop of favorable external and domestic factors including softened crude oil and other commodity prices, twin deficits under control, inflation well within comfort zone, initiation of interest rate reversal cycle by the RBI, domestic GDP showing signs of pick-up, which have put the government in a relatively sweet spot. However, in our view, there were no big-bang announcements in the budget. Nonetheless, the budget was always going to be a challenging exercise considering the balance that needed to be maintained between sticking to the fiscal consolidation path while at the same time providing catalysts for the Indian economy to not only concretize its recent recovery, but also build on it further. Thus, the government seems to have achieved both the objectives to a reasonable extent. On the fiscal front, while the government has retained the fiscal deficit target at 4.1% for FY15, it is aiming to contain the fiscal deficit at 3.9% in FY16. However, it has extended achieving the 3% fiscal deficit target by a year to FY18 as it eyes for growth. As far as growth is concerned, GDP is expected to improve by 8% to 8.5% in FY16 compared to the expected 7.4% in FY15 as per the new series. On the tax reforms front, the government has reiterated the timeline for the implementation of GST as April 1, 2016. GST, when implemented, will see transition from the current system of various types/rates indirect taxes to a much leaner structure. As part of the movement towards GST, the Education February 28, 2015 Cess and the Secondary and Higher Education Cess have been included in the Central Excise duty and rounded off to 12.5% from the current effective 12.36%. Budget has also increased the present rate of service tax plus education cess from 12.36% to a consolidated rate of 14%. On the direct tax front, while the government has not tinkered with the personal income tax slabs, it has hiked the mediclaim and pension deduction limits. However, 2% additional surcharge has been imposed on the superrich (taxable income over Rs10mn), while abolishing the Wealth Tax. Further, a 2% Swachh Bharat Cess is being contemplated to be imposed on the common man (date to be notified later). However, on the corporate front, the tax rate would be reduced from the current 30% to 25% over the next 4 years, along with rationalization/removal of the various exemptions. Also, postponement of GAAR implementation by 2 years to FY18, that too not retrospectively, is a breather for market participants and foreign investors in particular. As stated earlier, while the budget lacked any major structural reforms announcement, the government has made various welcome announcements on dealing with the black money stashed abroad, which includes mandatory filing of return if a person owns foreign assets or is a beneficiary from it. Penalty for income concealment/tax evasion includes rigorous imprisonment and hefty fine. The government has also moved ahead on greater inclusion of the public at large. In wake of the success of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and leveraging on the same, it has proposed to introduce more social security schemes pertaining to Insurance for the poor and the under-privileged. 1 Institutional Equity Research Union Budget 2015-16 | India Further, the government has enhanced focus on the Power and Transport sectors - the backbone of Indian economy growth, which is evident from the 8% (against -15.1% in FY15) and 82% (against +2.2% in FY15) increase respectively in budget allocation towards these sectors. The government has also encouraged the states to spend towards rural development, which if implemented, could lead to significant growth in consumption. Other than the above, the budget continued its broad focus on infrastructure, heath, education, hygiene, etc. From the market point of view, we believe, this Budget was largely a balanced event with no major advantage/disadvantage for any particular section of the society or industry. Thus, the market focus is now expected to shift to the execution of the announcements in the budget and to the various global and domestic factors, which affect short-term sentiments. Further, the market will be keenly waiting for the RBIs next move with respect to reduction in interest rates depending upon its assessment of the fiscal roadmap laid down by the government. Thus, India Inc.’s earnings growth recovering to 15-20% over the next 2-3 years remains very much possible. This will help sustain investor conviction and interest in Indian equities. We reiterate our Sensex target of 33,500 by December 2015, which implies a good 14% index return from the current levels. Sectorally, we prefer Financials and Automobiles to play the initial leg of the economic recovery with continued positive bias towards the IT and Pharma sectors. We would remain selective in the Capital Goods, FMCG, Real Estate and Infrastructure (Cement, Roads, etc.) space in wake of the lagged recovery (Capital Goods), the relatively rich valuations of the sector (FMCG) and/or absence of an all-round pick-up in activity in the sectors (Real Estate & Infrastructure) in the medium-term. The Indian stockmarket is up 7.5% year-to-date (last two months) after having surged over 31% in 2014. The 3QFY15 result season was a disappointment leading to further cut in estimates for FY15. However, we remain optimistic of growth picking up from FY16 onwards on the back of the economic recovery underway, which will be further aided by government actions (note, a lot of government action now takes place outside the budget), low inflation and lower interest rates among others.

Centre’s share of tax revenue collection has been sharply brought down to 6.5% of GDP in FY16E as compared to 7.2% in the FY15. By providing substantial share to the states in tax revenue, FM has passed the onus from centre to the states. 85 FY04 FM has continued the approach of progressive fiscal consolidation by targeting fiscal deficit at 3.9% in FY16E, against our expectation of 3.8%, from 4.1% in FY15 R.E. The fiscal deficit targets for FY17E and FY18E are estimated at 3.5% and 3.0% respectively. Fiscal consolidation is estimated to be mainly achieved through high disinvestment proceeds and cut down in planned expenditure. Planned expenditure has been sharply cut down this year to maintain the path of fiscal consolidation despite resource crunch. Though budget represents a deviation from 3.6% adopted in the fiscal roadmap; the recalibration was necessitated to maintain fine balance between the need to continue with policy of fiscal rectitude to provide sufficient space for monetary policy easing on one hand and the need to adequately provide for social and welfare programmes and increase public spending in core sectors to give fillip to growth, on the other hand.

Subsidy bill is likely to drop to 1.7% of GDP in FY16 B.E. and this is likely to be achieved this year with crude oil remaining in the current range. 30 15,000 FY04 Interest payments, which form a major part of the expenditure, is budgeted to grow by 10.9% YoY in FY16E. However, with lower market borrowing and lower interest rate scenario, interest payments this year are likely to remain subdued. 20,000 (Rs bn) Revenue portion in plan expenditure is likely to project a decline of 10.0% YoY while capital portion in the total expenditure has been outlined to increase to 13.6% of the total expenditure vs. 11.5% in FY15 R.E.

Moreover focus on infra revival will boost MHCV volumes .Overall we remain positive on the sector from a longer term perspective and expect all categories i.e. PVs, 2Ws and CVs to post double-digit growth rates.

This will give better visibility on interest rates in banking system 12 February 28, 2015 12 Institutional Equity Research Union Budget 2015-16 | India Banking Sector outlook Given the improving macroeconomic scenario, we remain positive on the banking sector. Based on the banks’ competitive positioning, management quality, and earnings visibility, we once again re-iterate our positive stance on private banks and believe earnings upgrades will be led by decline in credit costs along with improvement in core operating performance. Superior return ratios, cleaner balance sheet coupled with easy access to capital market provides private banks greater ability to accelerate growth as economic activity picks up. On the other hand, Government is rapidly introducing the much needed structural reforms in public sector banks, which will help them in long run to become much more efficient. However in the medium-term, performance of these banks will remain volatile due to their poor assets quality profile along with low capital base. Upside trigger in PSB stocks will largely come from: a) improving assets quality, b) clarity on the pension liability post the wage settlement, c) ground level implementation of longer term structural reforms and d) clarity on additional capital infusion for BASEL III norms.

On domestic front, glut in BTG industry would witness sustained pricing pressure. We believe that the sector would see some recovery from FY16E onwards with the beginning of capex of 13th Five Year Plan. While order flows to power generation continue to suffer, T&D remains an exception.

However, considering the fact that cement is a natural beneficiary of infrastructure pickup in the country, impetus offered to infrastructure segment in the budget will certainly help demand scenario to improve going ahead. Hence, we continue to believe that cement industry in India is on the cusp of cyclical upturn from FY16E in the backdrop of pickup in infrastructure and real estate activities across the country. Slowing capacity addition in the industry from FY16E will further aid industry utilisation. We reckon an incremental supply of 49mnT over FY15EFY20E as against incremental demand of 135mnT during the same period, which clearly favors the industry and, hence, cement prices/profitability.

Rural India accounts for 40-45% of the consumption of FMCG products and was also one of the focus areas in the Union Budget. Enhanced allocation towards infrastructure development will increase reach for the FMCG companies in the hinterlands, while, development of irrigation facilities will ensure lesser dependence of crop cultivation on monsoons, thereby ensuring inflation to remain stable and aiding disposable income in the hands of the farmers. Thrust on tourism will aid hospitality industry, while measures towards “ease of doing business” by the government will spur investments, which eventually will aid growth in the urban markets. We believe economic revival will support growth in the FMCG sector and expect our universe to record 13-14% yoy growth in its top-line from hereon.

However, realizations are under pressure due to cheap imports and hence Net Sales Realization (NSR) is expected to dip over the next two quarters, resulting in steel spreads coming under pressure. On the non-ferrous front, while LME prices have been weak on a YTD basis, we expect deficits in Aluminium and Zinc to translate into higher prices going forward thus boosting profitability for domestic non-ferrous companies.

We believe the Union Budget gave a lot of thrust towards economic health improvement, which will have long term benefits. While the service tax increase is a negative for the sector, it is viewed as a stepping stone towards implementation of GST, which will simplify tax regimes across the states. This is especially beneficial for film exhibitors like PVR, which have to pay a separate state-wise entertainment tax and will also have a pass through benefit for production house like Eros, which benefits from revenue share accruing from ticket sales. Overall, we remain positive on the Media sector.

Industry demands continue to remain unmet on (1) boost of R&D activity by increasing weighted deduction on indigenous product development. (2) reduction in excise duty and (3) tax benefits for the industry. Although pharma sector has not found much space in Budget 2015-16, we continue to maintain our positive stance on the sector for the long run. We like government’s braodly increasing focus towards the healthcare segment. With major pharma companies foraying into R&D (Lupin, Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy’s, Glenmark - all have increased their R&D spend to an average of 10% of sales from 6-7% in the past 2 years), we expect niche products in complex therapies like oncology, biosimilars, respiratory, etc. to drive growth.

Estimated opportunity size of Rs1,000bn to Power sector NTPC, Power Grid , BHEL Sector outlook Indian Power stocks have been underperforming due to concerns like unavailability of coal, lower merchant rates and deteriorating financial condition of State Electricity Boards (SEBs). Recently, the government has made few meaningful structural announcements such as (i) SEB financial restructuring; ii) finalisation of revised Case II bidding norms iii) FSA obligation from Coal India (CIL); (iv) Tariff relief for imported coal-based projects, which we believe would improve the outlook for the sector. We prefer power utilities with (I) Assured RoEs of regulated business model vs. merchant business model due to lower merchant realization, (II) Fuel linkages, (III) Strong balance sheet & execution track record, and (IV) Low valuation & low-risk business models.

Most of the real estate companies with income producing assets viz. DLF, Prestige Estates, Phoenix, Brigade Enterprises have leveraged their balance sheet through lease rental discounting. The current cost of borrowing on LRDs will be anywhere between 12-13%. Once these assets are transferred to REIT, the cap rate can come down to 8-9% depending on the asset quality and hence with the lower cost of capital, the asset valuation will get re-rated upwards.
