Investment Rationale
MSIL reported soft margin numbers in Q1, as the company witnessed an unprecedented hike in input costs and the demand was struck by Covid wave #2. However, the demand is now coming back driven by personal mobility theme, first time buyers and CNG variants. Going forward, with supply issues getting resolved sooner or later, we believe that newer launches, digitization of sales, expanding dealer network, higher capacity utilization rates and price hikes should trigger a superior volume and margin profile in the remainder of FY22 and ensuing year. Although the brokerage are seeing a shift in demand towards EVs, it believes it to be more in scooters and low end bikes rather than passenger cars while establishment of EV infrastructure along with capacity expansion should take some more time than expected. With ability to combat competition coming from EV shift and opening up of rural markets which were severely impacted by Covid Wave #2, MSIL is poised for a healthy growth here-on. Despite the short to mid-term issues, the brokerage remains sanguine on the stock with a price target of Rs 7,650.
