Though Maruti primarily uses roads currently, It worked with the Indian Railways to bring down transportation time substantially. These initiatives may further improve margins by 200 bps by FY20. Electric Vehicles a new opportunity- Being a market leader in the passenger vehicle segment, Maruti is stepping towards developing electric vehicles. Considering the increasing pollution government has already asked all car makers to update their portfolio by 2030. With regard to that Suzuki is developing its own Lithium-ion battery plant in JV with Toshiba and Denso. Currently China is the only producer of Lithium-ion batteries in the world. Unleashing the potential in the international business- Maruti is onset to unleash the potential in the international business by targeting European and Latin American markets. Recently launched and upcoming new products are technologically sound and competent to the export markets. Europe contributes 3 of total export volumes. Reducing dependency on Yen to improve profitability- Maruti is also aggressively working towards bringing down the import content in its cars from an average 1 at the end of FY17 to 1 as part of its vision 2.0 plan. Currently about 14 percent of imports are yen denominated. Management expects to bring it down to 5 percent and typically, 1% movement in yen leads to around 1% change in the operating profit of Maruti. The company also have rupee denominated Royalty contracts with the parent Suzuki Motors for new models. Improvement in rural economy to push entry level car sales - Currently about 30-3 of Maruti's sales come from rural areas. FMCG major like Hind unilever also sees gradual recovery in rural demand going forward led by two consecutive better monsoon, increase in minimum support prices and government s intervention to get the rural economy back on track. Government's focus towards improving rural infrastructure will provide huge opportunities for entry segment cars like; Alto. The entry segment cars have been witnessing slowdown due to increasing popularity of compact segment.

The company witnessed sharp growth in Utility vehicle segment and mini segment which grew by 2 and 21%YoY respectively. Domestic volumes grew by 1YoY and exports volumes grew by YoY during the 4QFY18. Overall on a full year basis also Maruti has posted healthy 13%YoY volume growth in FY18. The company has been able to post growth on the back of growing product portfolio and expanding reach in the interiors of the country, which resulted in 51% market share in February 2018. We believe MSIL to continue this robust growth momentum going ahead. MSIL has been facing the capacity constraints in FY18 due to delay in ramp up of first line of Gujarat plant. The management has suggested that the plant will run at its full capacity in FY19 and the second line will be available by the beginning of 2019. Going forward, the management has guided for double digit growth in FY19 based on the increasing waiting period for its high end models and rising living standards in rural areas. Early ramp up of second line will offset the higher logistics cost and will protect the margins for the company till the localization increases near Gujarat plant. We expect that the growing demand for premium segment cars, improving rural infrastructure, lower passenger vehicle penetration will drive the volumes going ahead. We expect RoE to be maintained over 19. in FY20. MSIL is sitting on a huge cash pile which gives it free hand to focus on product development and marketing & distribution areas. Based on the double digit volume growth guidance, improvement in product mix and ramp up of Gujarat plant in FY19 we increase our FY20e EPS estimates by and change our rating from HOLD to ACCUMULATE for a target price of Rs. 9367(26x FY20e EPS).
