Indirect taxes: The govt may tinker around with duties in segments that could ease inflation or specific sectors where certain exemptions are expiring. Changes in indirect taxes are executive decisions that can be changed through notifications parliamentary approval is not required. Gold import norms: Expectations are ripe over the easing of gold import curbs. The import duty on gold was hiked to a record 10%, and import quantity was tied to exports under the 80/20 rule. These moves helped lower Indias CAD in the current fiscal year. However, given that the Fed tapering is still wreaking havoc on EM currencies and the fact that structural measures are still required to contain CAD, it will be a tricky decision to relax these norms, and if announced, may weigh on the INR in the short term. Service tax: Certain end-use specific exemptions in service tax for services rendered to specific infrastructure businesses could get relief. However, the current rate of tax of 12% is unlikely to be changed. Extension of the excise duty exemption: For hill states such as Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir the government may extend excise duty exemption by either five years or until the GST comes into force as the exemption expires in May 2014.

A. Eco: Headline inflation cools off but core uptick disconcerting (14th Feb)
(sachchidanand.shukla@axiscap.in; 91 22 4325 1108)
WPI inflation moderated to a lower than expected 5.05% YoY in Jan (6.16% in Dec, 7.5% in Nov) an 8 month low. CPI Inflation eased sharply to 8.8% YoY - 24 mth low in Jan (9.8% in Dec). However, core inflation inched up above 3% (higher by ~20 bps) - the 1st time since April 13 even as Core CPI remained sticky at 8.1% (8.09 in Dec). Data takeaways Primary articles inflation fell ~4% (MoM) after falling ~5% MoM in Dec. Fuel segment saw an uptick of 95 bps whereas Manufacturing inflation saw marginal moderation (13 bps). Vege-deflation continues: Fall in WPI inflation owed to sharply lower Primary article inflation (shaving off ~1% from the overall number). Food prices softened to 8.9% YoY (14% in Dec & 20% in Nov) with vegetable prices crashing further to 16% YoY (54% in Dec & 95% YoY in Nov) though milk prices continued to edge up. However, vegetables, eggs, meat and fish price inflation continues to be in double digits despite the cool off. In fact, protein inflation has inched by 30 bps since Nov. Fuel Inflation: Was higher by 95 bps MoM due to diesel and petrol price hikes (up by 50 paise & 75 paise respectively in Jan) along that of unsubsidized LPG cylinders (prices raised to ~Rs 1200) by oil retailers. We expect the LPG component to subside from here. Weaker growth conditions and subdued global commodity prices continue to limit the pass through from imported prices. Input price inflation remains stable and prevents an increase in output inflation in the near term. Policy implications: The uptick in core WPI along with a sticky core CPI will prevent RBI from lowering its guard as vegetable prices have a tendency to rise especially during summer, which can push headline inflation higher. However, as headline inflation has fallen sharply along the expected lines, we expect the RBI to maintain status quo in April.

The govt is all set to present the Vote on Account on 17 th Feb 2014. This would be the last available opportunity for the government before the election commission notifies election dates, when a ban on further Govt announcements kicks in. In an interim budget changes in direct taxes cannot be attempted, as it would require the Finance Bill to be passed. That is the reason why a slew of populist measures have already been announced. Expectations Our expectations remain muted as: 1) In a Vote on Account an outgoing govt obtains the vote of Parliament for monies sufficient to incur expenditure on various items till a new govt takes over. Normally, no significant tax proposals or economic policy decisions are announced in the interim budget 2) Moreover, the government has already announced a slew of populist measures outside the budget and 3) The fiscal deficit target of 4.8% of GDP for FY14 leaves the govt with little room for any major populist measures. Key expectations The FM may likely outline a vision for the future and present his perspective on the future course of action on taxation (to answer the BJPs promise of a simpler tax regime) and fiscal consolidation path, if the UPA is voted back to power. Fiscal deficit & gross borrowing: The government may report a Fiscal deficit number of 4.5-4.7% of GDP (vs target of 4.8%) given; 1) success of spectrum auctions (revenues may be ~Rs 170 bn vs Rs 110 bn budgeted enabling the govt to meet its Rs 400bn overall revenue target from telecom sector), 2) higher special dividends from PSUs, 3) the possibility of residual stake sales in Hindustan Zinc and BALCO, 4) direct disinvestments, & SUUTI stake sale and 4) Plan expenditure cuts of ~400-500 bn. The gross borrowing number for FY15 may be projected at ~Rs 6.2-6.4 trillion. Indirect taxes: The govt may tinker around with duties in segments that could ease inflation or specific sectors where certain exemptions are expiring. Changes in indirect taxes are executive decisions that can be changed through notifications parliamentary approval is not required. Gold import norms: Expectations are ripe over the easing of gold import curbs. The import duty on gold was hiked to a record 10%, and import quantity was tied to exports under the 80/20 rule which dictated that 20% of all gold imports have to be re-exported. These moves helped lower Indias CAD in the current fiscal year. However, given that the Fed tapering is still wreaking havoc on EM currencies and the fact that structural measures are required to contain CAD, it will be a tricky decision to relax these norms, and if announced, may weigh on the INR in the short term. Service tax: Certain end-use specific exemptions in service tax for services rendered to specific infrastructure businesses could get relief. However, the current rate of tax of 12% is unlikely to be changed.

Our interaction with National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) suggests that a recovery is still some time away with not much traction in FY14 (ordering and execution was slow). We believe ordering will continue to be muted till elections are over. Key takeaways: A sense of dj vu most new awards expected on EPC basis as low traffic and inordinate delays have stretched private sector finances. Further, 2/3rd of balance awards are at remote locations with low traffic viable only on EPC basis or with support from NHAI
Funding EPC contracts not a concern: Even if all balance National Highways Development Programme orders (15,000 kms) are executed on EPC, NHAI will be able to fund it NHAI wishes to take sympathetic approach to private sector's woes - reflected in policy initiative on premium restructuring. Note: NHAI maintains this is not an new concept and is permitted under the existing Model
Developers have inflated project costs, and have been running projects on wafer thin equity detrimental for sector as it encourages aggressive bidding. It has created a situation of Heads I win, tails you lose for developers. We believe that banks need to ensure that developers have their own skin in the game Frenetic policy action witnessed recently (exit policy/ premium restructuring/ forest clearance divorced from environmental/ etc), albeit late in the day, does augur well for future awards
We prefer players with strong operational risk mitigation via diversified portfolio and cash flow visibility. Maintain BUY on ITNL with TP of Rs 162, which implies 42% upside from CMP of Rs 114.
Following a sharp bounce in Dec (pent up volumes due to labor strike), JNPTs container volumes maintained growth momentum in Jan 2014. While both export and import volume at JNPT grew ~4% YoY, an overall improved traction in export volumes vs. imports (YTDFY14) aided steady improvement in exportimport volume mix (as visible in last 4-5 months). This reduction in exportimport mismatch will continue to aid margin improvement for container train operators like Container Corporation (Bloomberg: CCRI IN) and Gateway Distriparks (Bloomberg: GDPL IN). January 2014 data released by Indian Ports Association (IPA) shows ~2% YoY decline (vs. 4% YoY fall during Apr-Dec 2013) in container volumes (teu) across major ports. Tonnage volumes decline was sharper at 7% YoY (vs. ~5% decline in Apr-Dec 2013) across major ports. Outlook While macro headwinds may continue to keep a check on container volume growth across major ports, we expect steady uptick in export volumes to continue to benefit both CCRI and GDPL through lower empty running losses. We maintain (a) HOLD rating on CCRI with TP Rs 750 (13x FY15E EPS of Rs 58), implying limited room for upside from CMP of Rs 722 and (b) BUY rating on GDPL with SoTP-based TP of Rs 155 (implied P/E of 10.3x FY15E EPS of Rs 15), implying 19% upside from CMP of Rs 130.

Innovation driving Indian household insecticide market Innovations such as low smoke coil, anti-cockroach gel and multi-mode liquid vaporiser has been driving faster growth of household insecticide in India. GCPL has been forefront of these innovations, and thereby gaining market share (at 51% in 2013 vs. 35% in 2008, as per Euromonitor). Thus while market growth has been 10-15% over the last 3 years, GCPL has reported 25%+ growth in household insecticide segment (~45% of domestic revenues and ~55% of domestic EBITDA). Will GCPLs domestic HI segment growth get a Xpress boost? Liquid vaporizer (LV) that had been 35% of Household Insecticide (HI) category in 2007 has grown to 49% today. This has been driven by new multi-mode LVs such as Activ+ that has helped reduce the efficacy gap. The new Good Knight Express roll out is to further enhance this role and re-establish differentiation in the LV category. Thus, the muted 8% growth in GCPL domestic HI segment in Q3FY14 (largely due to seasonal impact) is likely to reverse in Q4FY14. We expect the roll out to aid double digit growth for HI segment for next few quarters. Recommend BUY with TP of Rs 835, 16% upside GCPLs Q3FY14 result disappointment notwithstanding, we remain optimistic of GCPL delivering a 23% earnings CAGR over FY14-16E helped by sustained market share gain in key categories and geographies and improved margin performance in its international business. GCPL has corrected 16% over the last 6 months and underperformed Sensex by 24%. It trades at 1-yr rolling forward PE of 26x vs. its 3-yr average PE of 27x. We maintain our BUY call on GCPL with Mar15 TP of Rs 835. At CMP of Rs 722, the stock trades at 25x FY15E EPS of Rs 28.7.
