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.

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.

Devolution of Centre’s revenue to states
As the first year of 14th Finance Commission (FFC), Budget FY16E is
presented with lower tax resources to the centre. 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.

would be difficult.

Automobile
Sector outlook
 While the budget was largely a Neutral event for the automotive sector from the near-term standpoint, we believe that overall the stage is set and the sector would
benefit going forward as: 1) direction of growth and inflation favors demand uptick, 2) fuel prices have corrected significantly, 3) more rate-cuts in the offing (we
estimate 75-100bps cut in FY16E, 4) pickup in job growth 5) massive pent-up demand post the sluggishness in last 3 years and 6) lower penetration to addressable
households. 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.

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.

Sector outlook
 The Indian capital goods sector has been going through continuous slowdown in order-inflows amid declining margins, delay in project execution and declining
return ratios resulting in PE de-rating of the sector in last 2-3 years. 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.

 We understand that there has not been any direct benefits for the cement industry in the budget. 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.

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.

Sector outlook
 The Union Budget has addressed five major stake holder concerns viz (i) Increase in outlay – Rs700bn incremental contribution vs FY15BE is very positive for the
already depleting order book of construction companies and impact will be higher once this amount gets leveraged (ii) Alternative means of financing – currently
most of the infrastructure developers are going through deep balance sheet stress (attributable to variety of reasons viz. pending claims, non-core diversification
etc), setting up of National Investment Infrastructure Fund, Issuances of tax free bonds, etc. are steps in the right direction to mobilize funding for big infrastructure
projects (iii) Sharing of risks – until now the risk of the projects has been in entirety borne by developers, the revitalizing of PPP projects with Sovereign bearing the
major part of risk will help attract foreign capital and partnership (iv) Plug & Play model – single window clearance will be the most important reform as delays in
approvals have resulted in huge cost overruns and financial upset for developers; this is the prime reason for balance sheet stress and claims are yet to be settled
& finally (v) addressing taxation of InvIT – Union budget addresses stakeholders concern on double taxation and tax pass through shall help in unlocking value in
matured/operation annuity/BOT toll assets. We believe these positive measures will lead to overall re-rating of Infrastructure sector over medium to long term.

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

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. The Pharma sector has one of the best combinations of attractive fundamentals
(RoE, balance sheet, EPS and sales growth) and valuation.

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.

Sector outlook
 We remain positive on the real estate sector as amendments in the finance bill on taxation makes REIT doable. 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. For every 100bps reduction in cap rate, the Rental asset value will go
up by ~10-12%.
