Investment Rationale:
Berger Paints India Limited is the second largest paint company in the country with a consistent track record of being one of the fastest growing paint companies, quarter on quarter, for the past few years. This FMCG company has one of the largest networks consisting of 16,500 plus distribution channel members served through 135 stock points & 10 production units. It has 4 distinct business verticals namely Decorative coatings, Protective coating, Automotive coatings, Industrial and Powder coatings with about 10,000 + products. It has business ventures or technology transfer tie ups with various renowned paint companies in the world like Nippon Bee of Japan and Becker Acroma spa of Italy. Berger Paints India Ltd’s product has attained instant recognition worldwide and continues to meet quality requirements that are demanded today in domestic markets. To meet the surging demand of its brands, the company is undertaking huge expansion projects across various locations in India. The company is confident that this new plant is strategically located and is well connected to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi and Mumbai and this will be able to fully meet the increasing demand for water based coatings in commercially important regions of India. Berger paints has inaugurated its largest water based paint manufacturing unit in Hindupur, Anantapur district, AP. The factory has an initial capacity of 80,000 tonnes per annum. It is in its final phase, the factory will have a capacity of 3,20,000 tonnes per annum. Additionally there will be a plant for the manufacturing of 1,00,000 KL of emulsion, a key material, for which a provision is already made. Berger India Group is opening a plastic packaging factory on the other side of the road. Also another Berger factory is coming up in the Gollapuram industrial area near to Hindupur, for manufacturing of 40,000 tonnes of paint. Total investment in the Hindupur area by the Berger India Group will be close to Rs. 550.00 Cr. On financial side, Berger Paints India registered good Q3FY14 consolidated sales showing a growth of 11.74 % to Rs. 1,024.80 Cr. The growth in revenue was on the back of healthy performance by the subsidiaries. Berger's PAT was at Rs. 82.30 Cr declined by 0.36 % YoY and by 0.20 %s at Rs. 194.10 Cr for the 9MFY14. Berger domestic revenue grew by 7.4 % to Rs. 882.80 Cr YoY. The lower revenue growth was on the back of sluggish demand in industrial paints; especially project based protective coatings segment and relatively higher base in the decorative paints. In decorative business, growth was from economic and premium end products. Demand for Berger products in Tier II & III remained healthy, which has resulted in company sustaining its market share in decorative business of about 19 %. EBIDTA margin were at Rs. 131.50 Cr and for the 9MFY14 were at Rs. 325.40 Cr. The EBIDTA margin were lower due to high employee cost and other expenditure. Employee cost increased by 23.08 % to Rs. 57.80 Cr YoY and other expenditure increased by 13.63 % to Rs. 217.40 Cr YoY on the back of commencement of commercial production of Hindupur plant. The increase in the finished products prices did not contributed much to the EBIDTA margin as the increase in the prices was offset by rise in the input prices. Berger’s combined subsidiaries registered sales growth of 50 % in Q3FY14 to Rs. 147 Cr on the back of strong growth in Nepal and India JV operations (Berger Becker Coating-BNB Chemicals). Major contributor Bolix (Poland) witnessed increased in sales due to season and currency gains. Combined subsidiaries EBIDTA margin expanded by 0.31 % to Rs. 25.2 Cr while its PAT margin declined marginally by 0.34 % to Rs. 16.6 Cr. Berger has taken price hike of 2.2 % in the decorative segment in February 2014 and the company feels that it has gained market share marginally in decorative segment during 9MFY14.

Outlook and Valuation:
Berger Paints India Ltd is amongst Top 30 in the world and India's one of the largest paint company with its premium brands viz., Breathe Easy, Silk and Weather coat Allguard which continued to perform well in all the markets. Berger paints India ltd has its global footprints across the continents. It is also amongst the top 6th paint company in Asia. Berger Paints India Limited has it’s headquarter in Kolkata, with 7 strategically located manufacturing units, and over 85 sales offices, the company also has an international presence in 4 countries. Berger is the lone supplier to nuclear power plants with its protective coatings in industries. And also supplies its products to professionals and Home owners. Company is expected to post a CAGR of 12 % in its top-line and 13 % in its bottom-line. Paint industry, as a whole, continued to do better, in spite of the adverse developments, and has shown growth at a higher rate than GDP. The growth is fuelled by higher income levels of people across urban and rural segments, historically, low consumption of paints offers a very high potential for the future, and with growing popularity of branded paints with better quality and longer durability and the desire of people to remodel and embellish existing dwelling units or thier homes makes paint indusrty more attractive for investments. The industry has given a fillip to this demand by expanding its distribution network penetrating newer and hitherto unexplored geographies, offering a wide degree of choice in terms of attributes and prices and educating consumers and applicators in regards to benefits of various brands and uses of paint. The industry estimates that there could be the Total revenues of around Rs. 26,000 Cr for Indian companies, and may touch around Rs. 50,000 crores by FY 2016. Over the last three years, paint prices have increased by about 30 % - to partially compensate for increase in raw material prices. However, there has been no significant increase in architectural paint prices since the third quarter of the fiscal year is under review and, on the contrary, there has been a marginal decrease. There has been some softening in prices of titanium dioxide and some other chemicals and crude prices. However, the overall raw material index for the period was higher than that of 2011-12. The ratio of decorative and industrial paints is 70:30 which is expected to continue in the future in view. The higher rate of growth in decorative paints augurs well for the industry. The year witnessed some weakening of enthusiasm in industrial paints market with marked fall in automotive sales, lower spending in infrastructure and general slowdown in the industry. Company believes that this weakening is not a permanent phenomenon and is ready to accept challenges of higher demand and better quality requirements in this segment, as and when they arise. The growth in the decorative paint is fuelled by rising paint consumption in Tier II&III towns and company strong focus to grow its premium portfolio in recent years. However sluggish demand in the industrial segment affects the overall revenue of decorative business. The Q4FY14 is expected to be better on the back of good monsoon and demand from tier II & III cities. It is expected that industry paint segment will revive on the back of improvement in macro environment. At the current market price of Rs. 212.00, the stock is trading at a PE of 31.26 x FY14E and 28.53 x FY15E respectively. The company can post Earnings per share (EPS) of Rs. 6.78 in FY14E and Rs. 7.43 in FY15E. One can buy BERGER PAINTS (INDIA) LTD with a target price of Rs. 233.00 for Medium to Long term investment and for the SHORT TERM PLAYERS it should be Rs. 222.60

Investment Rationale:
Transport Corporation of India (TCI) is India’s leading integrated logistics and supply-chain solution provider, offering single-window integrated services, backed by strong multi-mode transport operations by road, rail, sea and air. The company operates in high growth segments such as express cargo & supply chain solutions. TCI has progressed from being a One Man, One Truck, One Office set up to an extensive setup of 1000 + IT enabled offices and having a fleet of 7,000 trucks, trailers, 4 cargo ships and has reefer vehicles with a skilled workforce of 6,500 with offices in 4 countries, with an managed warehouse space of 9.75 million sq. ft., and has an ability to make deliveries in 200 countries. Today, TCI moves about 2.5 % of India’s GDP by value and is also a part of World Economic Forum’s Community of Global Growth Companies. The logistics sector presents an incredible arena of opportunity because, nearly 90 % of the market is still controlled by the unorganized sector. The size of the logistics market is just $230 billion and it is expected to grow at about 15 % CAGR for next several years, so there is no dearth of opportunity for companies seeking to bring some cost and time saving innovation to this field. The expectation of FDI in E- Commerce will be allow big-ticket MNC’s to set up JV’s so as to tackle supply-chain constraints and logistics and this makes this sector an attractive bet. The buzz on the news is that the top brass in the Government is keen to allow foreign direct investment in retail e-commerce before the end of FY 2014 and TCI, being one of the oldest players in the logistics sector with its strong distribution network across the length and breadth of the Country will definately benefit TCI . Financially, TCI has been doing well. Its ROCE is above 16 % over the past five years, TCI’s top-line has been growing at a CAGR of about 11 % while the operating profits have grown at a CAGR of about 14 %. Transport Corporation of India reported Q3FY14 numbers with revenues growing at 3 % QoQ and 4.7 % YoY to Rs. 515 crore whereas its EBITDA showed a robust growth of 14.6 % QoQ and 9.4 % YoY to Rs. 37.6 crore. Improvement in EBITDA was due to expansion in EBITDA margin by 73 bps QoQ & 32 bps YoY to 7.3 %. Consequently, PAT in the quarter also improved significantly by 10 % QoQ and 27 % YoY to Rs. 14.4 crore. Going ahead, as the focus shifts towards better margin segments like express and supply chain, it is believed that these segments will propel TCI to place itself on a higher growth orbit. TCI plans to spend Rs. 100 Cr on capex by FY15 and see's a revenue growth of 15 % by FY15 .

Outlook and Valuation:
Transport Corporation Of India Ltd has a Global division which provides logistics services comprising freight forwarding, custom clearance, express and courier, warehousing, transportation, and supply chain consultancy services. It has a strong vertical integration and have been gaining market share because unorganised players find it difficult to operate due to high wage cost and other procedural hurdles. TCI has shown a strong recovery driven by its supply chain and express segment, this division’s revenues grew significantly as the freight segment continued to decline. On an EBIT basis, SCS and express segment posted growth of 17 % and 26 % QoQ to Rs. 7.5 crore and Rs. 12.1 crore, respectively. Going ahead, it is believed that SCS and express segments possess massive growth potential. With revenue contribution getting skewed towards SCS and express segment from freight division, it is believed that the margins will improve further, going ahead. Also, as SCS and express businesses are highly EPS accretive as against its freight segment, and it can be anticipated that it can post an earnings CAGR of 13 % over FY14E-16E against CAGR of 11 % over FY11-13. The freight segment revenue growth remained flattish YoY to Rs. 194 crore whereas its contribution to total sales for Q3FY14 declined to 38 % from 39 % in Q2FY14. Further, at the EBIT level, the freight segment contributes a meagre Rs. 0.7 crore. However, the strong pick-up in SCS and express segment revenue by 11 % and 6 % YoY, respectively, supported total revenue growth of 4.6 % YoY. Another heartening factor has been the shift of revenue mix towards high return SCS and express business leading to contribution from these segments to 28 % and 30 %, respectively, for Q3FY14. Further, the shipping segment continues to contribute in the range of around 5 – 6 % to revenue for the quarter posting growth of 28 % YoY. There is a conscious effort to shift the business mix from the low margin freight business to the high margin SCS and XPS business over a long period to improve the EBITDA margin of the company. TCI is trading at a P/E of 13 times, which is not expensive when you compare it with the P/E of its peers like Gateway Distriparks which trades at 9 x, Container Corporation at 15 x, AllCargo Logistics at 7.5 x, Blue Dart at 40 x etc. At the current market price of Rs. 90.10, TCI is trading at a PE of 10.98 x FY14E and 9.58 x FY15E respectively. The company can post Earnings per share (EPS) of Rs. 8.20 in FY14E and Rs. 9.40 in FY15E. One can buy TCI with a target price of Rs. 100 for the shorter term and for Medium to Long term investment it would be Rs. 300.00.

India's Interim Budget or VOTE ON ACCOUNT..what it means ?
A national interim Budget refers to the budget of a government that is going through a transition period. These budgets are common in democracies where one political party or a coalition is voted out and another political party or a coalition is voted into office. The two governments often have different fiscal plans, so the old government budget is cut short and a new budget is created. The interim Budget helps span the transition time between the two governments so that the government can continue to function. Countries like India use the term interim Budget specifically to describe this period. A national interim Budget is created out of necessity. National governments require interim budgets to function in the months it takes for a new government to create its own budget plan.

A vote-on-account presents an estimate of expenditures to be sanctioned by the exchequer till the Budget is passed. The Budget announces new programmes and estimates the public expenditure for the fiscal year. A vote-on-account cannot alter direct taxes since they need to be passed through a finance bill. In the Budget, fresh taxes may be imposed, old ones may go. Direct taxes like income tax and indirect taxes are both open to change. The common feature is that both include the previous year's financial performance of the government.
The significance:
The government cannot present a full budget because in such a short session, there's no time to debate proposals in Parliament. Expenditure for new schemes will have to form part of the new budget, which can be approved only after April 1. Also, it is ideally the new government's prerogative to decide how it'll raise and spend money. The newly formed government cannot be burdened by the previous government's budgetary allocations. While these are the technicalities, many look upon the vote on account as election rhetoric. Many look at it as a window where the government highlights its achievements ahead of elections. Experts say voters reward you for what you did in the first four years rather than what you did in the last six months. Whether or not the government succeeds in wooing the voter, the fact is that India is battling an economic meltdown like 2009. The government will have to take steps to reboot the economy. What remains to be seen though is whether these steps will be a part of the vote-on-account.

Investment Rationale:
UltraTech’s inception can be traced back to the mid-1980s with the establishment of Grasim’s first cement plant at Jawad in Madhya Pradesh. In 2001, with the objective of increasing its reach, Grasim acquired a stake in L&T Cement Ltd. The stake was further increased to a majority stake in 2003 thereby giving Grasim a pan-India presence and an increased market share. In 2004, the demerger of L&T’s cement business was completed and Grasim acquired a controlling stake in L&T Cement Ltd and the name was subsequently changed to UltraTech cement. The cement business of Grasim was demerged and vested in Samruddhi Cement Limited in May 2010, with Samruddhi Cement Limited consequently being amalgamated with UltraTech Cement Limited in July 2010. UltraTech Cement now is a subsidiary of Grasim, a part of the Aditya Birla Group. Post-merger of Grasim’s cement business, it is the largest cement company in India with a total cement capacity of 61.5mt (by 1QFY16) with a pan-India presence. It is the largest exporters of cement and clinker from India. Post-merger, it would be the largest cement company in India and 10th largest in the world. UltraTech has a potential to increase without incurring major capex by increasing utilization and blending, along with locational advantage, gives it the flexibility to either export or sell in the domestic market. Company’s allied businesses of white cement and RMC has lender stability to company’s overall performance. UltraTech’s management expects long-term cement demand to grow around 8 % while in the near term it could be challenging. In Jul’13 it commissioned a 3.3m-ton clinker plant in Karnataka, adding to its earlier commissioning in Mar’13 of similar capacity in Chhattisgarh. In Oct’13 it commissioned a 1.6m-ton grinding unit in Jharsuguda, Orissa, adding to its earlier commissioning of similar capacity in Hotgi, Maharashtra. The balance five associated grinding units will be set up in 4QFY14 and FY15. During 2Q, Ultratech acquired JaiPrakash Associates’ 4.8m-ton unit in Gujarat, lifting its capacity to 59m tons, while ongoing expansions would further that to 70m tons by Mar’15. The transaction was at an Enterprise Value of Rs. 3,800 Cr (US$125 a ton) and is expected to be completed only by 1QFY15 given multiple approvals required. Looking at the current quarterly results which showed high operating leverage, especially post commissioning of new capacities in 1QFY14, could result in volatile earnings. Post weak pricing environment during monsoon, cement prices and demand are expected to pick-up post monsoon. Structural increase in cost base (both capex and opex) would necessitate into higher cement prices. Revival in cement demand would be key catalyst for the stock performance.

Outlook and Valuation:
UltraTech is the 10th largest cement manufacturer in the world making it a significant global player. It has grinding units, jetties, bulk terminals and integrated plants all across the world. UltraTech Cement is the country’s largest cement and clinker exporter, catering to export markets in countries across the Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Such diverse presence across the countries has helped UltraTech to leverage economies of scale and enable it to become a name to reckon within the international market. UltraTech reported its Q3, and reported an average realization of Rs. 4,650 a ton down by 2 % yoy. At 10.3m tons, volumes of grey and white cement, clinker, wall putty rose by 1 % yoy and 8 % on qoq. The Grey cement sales were up 0.6 % yoy and 8 % qoq, those of white cement including wall putty were up 10 % yoy. RMC revenue was at Rs. 450 Cr and that of white cement and wall putty it was Rs. 420 CR. UltraTech reported its EBITDA/ton, at Rs. 745, despite its lower-than-expected realisations. The benefit of lower coal prices (net of rupee devaluation) and optimisation of the fuel mix led to an 8 % yoy dip in power & fuel costs a ton. Freight inched up 4 % yoy chiefly due to a hike in diesel prices and a rise in freight charges. Higher other income, lower interest, depreciation and tax rate of 27 % led to better PAT. The outlook on UltraTech continuous to remain challenging, with demand growth in FY14 is likely to be around 5 %, though over the long run it is likely to be over 8 %. The key value drivers could be housing demand and infrastructure spending. UltraTech has commissioned 25 MW thermal power plants in Andra Pradesh. Overall, the company is investing around Rs. 13,700 Cr in 12.7mt capacities, CPP, marketing and logistic infrastructure, modernization/ up-gradation and in RMC business. The clinkerization plant of 3.3MT in Karnataka has been commissioned in 2QFY14, followed up with 1.6mt grinding unit at Orissa. Further, the company’s planned capacity of 2.9mt at Rajasthan plant including 2 split grinding units with capex of Rs. 2,100 Cr would commission by Mar-15, and this would take total capacity in India to 68mt. On Consolidation of Jaypee's Gujarat plant, UltraTech’s current valuations largely factors in for potential recovery in FY15, benefit of which would be diluted due to initial impact of Jaypee's Gujarat plant acquisition by 1HFY15. At the current price of Rs. 1705.70, the stock is trading at a P/E of 24.05 x on FY14E and 18 x on FY15 estimates. UltraTech could report and EPS of Rs. 70.90 for FY14E and Rs. 94.80 for FY15E. Ultratech Cements has good potential for upside and can touch price of Rs. 2092, One can continue to ACCUMULATE the stock and would advise investors to use declines in the stock to buy with a long term view. One can buy ULTRATECH with a target price of Rs. 1875.00 for Medium to Long term investment and for the SHORT TERM PLAYERS it should be Rs. 1790.00.
