Overall auto sales for January have grown 4.1% YoY at 1.79 million units. The two-wheeler segment has witnessed better growth (7.6% YoY) compared to the rest of the year. Motorcycle volumes in the domestic market have done well in January with ~8.5% YoY growth. Scooter segment growth also picked up with ~12% YoY in domestic markets. Passenger vehicles witnessed de-growth of ~6% YoY dragged by the ~12.5% decline in the passenger car segment. The UV segment (~40% YoY) continued to exhibit handsome growth in a gloomy demand scenario. Demand in the M&HCV segment continued to remain sluggish over the past few months and January was no exception (~40% YoY decline). However, we believe demand in this segment may have finally bottomed out and only short-term pain persists for the segment. With RBIs stance on policy rate softening with declining inflation data, we expect the segment to recover and post higher volumes. The LCV segment has also witnessed a slowdown (~5% YoY growth) in January as slowdown in industrial activity has finally caught up and hike in diesel prices has slowed demand.

Industry outlook
Our volume growth outlook for the industry is mildly positive with growth ranging at 9-10% for FY14E. Volumes are likely to witness an increase in the passenger car segment as the segment will witness a host of new launches in FY14E. In the two-wheeler segment, we expect a mild slowdown in the scooter segment after the rapid growth witnessed in the past two years. In the three-wheeler space, goods carriers are likely to remain under pressure as the onslaught from LCVs continues, which will continue to drive growth in the CV segment. However, passenger carriers are likely to witness growth as new licenses open up in major Indian cities. On the basis of index performance, the BSE Auto index (one-month return -3.8%) has underperformed the BSE Sensex (one-month return 2.4%) in January. Among our I-direct auto-coverage, we remain bullish on frontline OEM stocks like Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki. In the ancillary coverage, we find favourable valuation and business growth perspective in Apollo Tyres and Bharat Forge.

Hero MotoCorp has been losing market share in the segment in which it is the market leader. However, in the last quarter, HMCL has been able to maintain a decent runrate as the festive season helped generate demand. HMSI continues to outperform the industry rate on the back of high growth in the motorcycle segment

Four-wheeler industry
The passenger vehicles segment at 284,982 units has witnessed degrowth of ~6% YoY, as the passenger car segment de-grew ~13% YoY in January despite the new calendar year purchases. Exports have declined ~14% YoY and the domestic market saw 12.5% de-growth Siam has, in the wake of the sluggish demand scenario for the passenger car segment, cut its forecast for FY13E. Siam has indicated that the passenger car segment will slip in the negative growth territory for the first time in 10 years. However, we believe with the softening of RBIs stance on policy rate, FY14E will witness a spurt in demand. Going forward, OEMs will also aid in generating incremental volumes. The new Alto 800 launched by Maruti has done well and so has M&Ms Quanto. The utility vehicle segment has been growing very fast (~56% YTD) and has been contributing significantly to the passenger vehicle segment (~17%). The segment is now witnessing interest from all major OEM players and, hence, competitive intensity is set to increase in this space. Commercial vehicles continued to remain under pressure as a result of the decline in industrial activity. The segment was down ~15% for January. The M&HCV segment continued to reel under pressure and de-grew ~40% YoY. The LCV segment has managed to remain in the green after slipping in the negative growth territory last month and saw ~5% YoY growth compared with the 13.3% YTD growth rate.

Tata Motors saw a decline of ~30% YoY in its overall volumes. The passenger vehicle segment, at 15,708 units, showed a decline of ~55% YoY as demand for the Indica and Indigo declined substantially with sluggish overall demand and availability of newer models from competitors available at discount. Tata Motors had also announced a cut in price of the Indica in order to boost sales. The utility vehicle (UV) numbers at 4,100 units de-grew ~34% YoY despite the launch of the Safari Storme. Passenger cars posted a decline of ~60% YoY as high fuel prices combined with old product portfolio led to a stagnation in volumes. Sales of the Nano have declined to ~1500 units, an 80% YoY decline At a segmental level, in standalone operations, CV demand has declined ~12% YoY and ~10% MoM. CV sales at 45,952 units have managed to show a slightly lower volume de-growth due to a good show by the LCV segment (36,583 units), which has grown ~15% YoY even as the overall LCV segment has grown only 5%. M&HCV sales continued the rather poor performance and dropped ~54% YoY largely owing to the poor demand scenario JLR has posted highest ever volumes at 38,173 units for January. Jaguar Land Rover has been aggressively pursuing product development and the next few months will witness more product launches. The Chinese market has grown ~64% YTD for JLR and has now become the largest market in volume terms. We expect sales to improve in H2 on the back of newer global launches of Jaguar and the new Range Rover and also aggressive expansion of distribution points in China Exports at 3,880 units have not been performing well since the last quarter and posted a decline of ~45% YoY in January

Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) has outperformed the passenger vehicle segment on the back of its strong UV portfolio. The utility vehicle segment, inclusive of four-wheeler pick-ups, grew to 39,506 units, a ~23% YoY jump and ~12% sequential growth. It enjoys a domestic market share of ~48% in the UV segment, which has reduced from the highs of 56% in 2012 owing to an increase in the competitive intensity in this segment. With the launch of the Quanto and the high-end Rexton, M&M looks set to ride the growing demand for utility vehicles in India The new-look Verito has witnessed a continuous reduction in volumes to ~1,500 units from the highs of ~2,000 units in August. However, this represents an improvement over last month, which saw a volume of only 1,026 units Automotive exports at 345 units have seen ~90% YoY slump The farm equipment segment (FES) at 19,362 units saw a flat YoY growth in January, which was a 31% MoM increase. Domestic volumes declined ~3% YoY but increased ~30% sequentially at 17,473 units. Exports have improved by ~34% YoY owing to the low base of last year. Lowering of interest rates can be a positive trigger for this segment and would help in improving the offtake in the agri-related segment

Ashok Leyland (ALL) has managed to post ~2.5% growth rate in the CV space on the back of handsome growth in the LCV segment. Dost at ~3,700 units accounted for ~35% of the total ALL volumes for January. The M&HCV space has declined ~25% YoY, which is slightly better than the decline in demand in the segment for January The Ashok Leyland-Nissan partnership has decided to ramp up production of Dost looking at its huge demand and make it available pan-India in the coming months. Dost enjoys ~30% share in the 11 states where it is sold right now Exports have seen a decline of ~37% YoY in January 2013 with sales clocking just 719 units. The export contribution to total sales has been progressively reducing in the last few months. The trend continued in this month as well with exports contributing merely 6.8%, down from 11.2% in January last year. Exports are likely to witness an increase following the healthy order book for passenger carriers in export markets like Africa and East Asia and launch of the new Janbus and trucks developed on the new Neptune platform
