Weak demand prevails
Automakers registered sluggish sales for January 2013 on continued weakness in domestic demand led by high interest rates, inflation and slowdown in economic activity. The medium and heavy commercial vehicle (MHCV) segment continues to remain the most impacted with sales witnessing a significant decline. However, utility vehicles (UV) and light commercial vehicles (LCV) defied the general slowdown and sustained their growth momentum. Among auto majors, while Hero MotoCorp (HMCL) and Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) posted better-than-expected volumes; Tata Motors (TTMT) registered a sharply lower-than-expected performance. Going ahead, we expect the demand scenario to remain challenging in 4QFY2013 as slowdown in economic growth coupled with higher interest rates and fuel expenses continue to dampen consumer sentiments. Tata Motors registered a substantial decline of 29.5% yoy (6% mom) in its total volumes led by continued weakness in the passenger vehicle (PV, down 55.6% yoy) and MHCV (down 53.6% yoy) segments. LCV sales however, continued with the growth momentum posting a strong growth of 14.7% yoy. Exports posted a dismal performance as export volumes were down 45.2% yoy (flat mom). Ashok Leyland reported in-line monthly volumes (total sales up 2.5% yoy) as Dost sales recovered after an unexpected fall in December 2012. However, ex. Dost volumes declined in-line with expectations by 25.4% yoy as the MHCV segment continued to see significant decline in demand due to slowdown in industrial activity. Maruti Suzuki reported better-than-expected volumes, primarily driven by a strong sequential growth in the Mini segment led by the new Alto. Total volumes registered a decline of 1.1% yoy; nevertheless they surged sharply by 20% on a sequential basis. Export sales however, posted a decline of 22.3% yoy (14.5% mom) during the month; thereby restricting the overall growth. Mahindra and Mahindra reported a modest volume growth of 4.5% yoy (11.5% mom) on account of continued decline in farm equipment sales which declined 9.8% yoy led by weakness in the domestic markets (down 8.6% yoy). However, the automotive segment registered a healthy growth of 10.7% yoy (9.3% mom) driven by strong momentum in the passenger vehicle segment (robust growth of 32.9% yoy) on the back of the new launches XUV5OO, Quanto and Rexton. Two-wheelers and three-wheelers: Bajaj Auto reported an in-line volume growth of 2.9% yoy (1.1% mom) driven by a healthy growth of 9.8% yoy (2% mom) in export sales. While motorcycle sales benefitted from the new launches; three-wheeler sales were driven by the issuance of fresh permits in Delhi, Karnataka, Hyderabad and Jaipur Hero MotoCorp registered better-than-expected performance with total sales posting a growth of 7.2% yoy (3% mom) driven by the new launches, Ignitor, Passion X-Pro and Maestro. TVS Motor Company posted better-than-expected volumes, registering a total volume growth of 1.4% yoy (12.6% mom). On a sequential basis, strong growth was witnessed across the two-wheeler product segments with scooters posting a 24.8% growth and motorcycle sales registering a growth of 7.2% led by Phoenix.

Tata Motors
TTMT registered a steep decline led by continued weakness in PV and MHCV sales TTMT registered a substantial decline of 29.5% yoy (6% mom) in its total volumes to 61,660 units led by continued weakness in the passenger vehicle and MHCV segments. Commercial vehicle sales witnessed a steep decline of 11.8% yoy (9.8% mom) on account of a substantial decline of 53.6% yoy in MHCV sales led by weak industrial activity. LCV sales however, continued with the growth momentum, posting a strong growth of 14.7% yoy. The PV segment witnessed a poor volume performance yet again driven by a significant decline of 60.3% yoy (flat mom) and 33.7% yoy in the passenger car and UV sales. On a sequential basis however, the UV sales surged 36.3% led by the recently launched Safari Storme. Exports too posted a dismal performance during the month as volumes were down 45.2% yoy (flat mom).

Outlook
We believe the long-term structural growth drivers of the Indian automobile industry such as GDP growth (leading to increasing affluence of rural and urban consumers), favorable demographics, low penetration levels, entry of global players and easy availability of finance are intact, which should support a 8-10% CAGR in auto volumes over FY2012-14E. As such, we prefer stocks that have strong fundamentals, high exposure to rural and export markets and command superior pricing power. We remain positive on AL, HMCL, MM and TTMT.
