Industry overview
(Source: CRISIL Research)

Indian Precision Industry


Precision engineering is a sub-discipline of engineering and is
concerned with manufacturing and assembling items that have
exceptionally low tolerance (less than 10 microns) and are required
to perform consistently over longer repeat cycles. Precision
engineering is more critical in sectors such as nuclear, defence and
space where errors can cause greater damage. It includes
manufacturing and assembly and covers materials, machining and
fabrication processes, to produce machinery and equipment of
perfect dimension and size. Accuracy and margin of error are
extremely important parameters for engineering and production. Any
deviation in dimensions can lead to loss of performance or even
catastrophic failure of the system.

Overview of sheet metal fabrication in precision engineering


Sheet metal fabrication is a sub-segment of processes that use sheet
metal to build machines and structures. It involves complex
processes with bending and shaping of different sheet metal
techniques and finds application across various segments from niche
as space launch vehicle / satellite where high precision is required to
as simple as metal rack structure.
Steel is commonly used in metal fabrication for its durability and
strength while Aluminum is preferred for lower temperatures and
hence used in aerospace and refrigeration. Magnesium, Brass,
Bronze, and Copper are other metals used in sheet metal fabrication
of structures and machines.
Some industries that rely on sheet metal fabrication include the
aerospace, construction, automotive, HVAC, consumer goods,
robotics, electronics, and energy sectors among various others.

Exports have 19-20% share in precision engineering market


Exports have been growing at par with domestic industry demand for
precision engineering products due to huge investments in India for
manufacturing. The share of exports is expected to increase to 19-
21% going forward, as India focuses more on manufacturing. Rapid
rise in exports will be limited by longer maturation period for the
manufacturing sector and competition from other south Asian
countries.

Nuclear Equipment Industry


Global Nuclear Equipment Industry
Currently, nuclear power plants account for 10% of the world’s total
generated power. This is supplied by about 440 reactors across the
globe. The most widely-used reactor is the PWR, which accounts for
nearly three-fourths of the overall operational reactor capacity. The
second most widely-used reactor is the BWR. The PHWR are mainly
preferred in India and Canada. The PHWR currently used in India are
based on Canadian technology and have been improved upon
indigenously.

In the past two decades, the share of nuclear power across the world
has been dwindling, largely on account of rising capital cost, safety
concerns, long construction cycle and greater focus on low-cost
renewable sources. However, the growth in nuclear capacity is
expected to be fuelled by the Asia-Pacific nations. The installed
capacity base is forecast to increase by ~5% - ~23% compared with
the previous five years. While the advanced economies are expected
to gradually reduce their dependence on nuclear power, countries
such as China, the UAE, South Korea and India together represent
more than ~45% - ~50% of future expected capacity additions.

India Nuclear Equipment Industry


Currently, India has 22 operational reactors and an additional 7 are
under construction. India’s operational nuclear capacity is 6.3 GWe.
Traditionally, India has been meeting its energy requirements by
importing fossil fuels. Reducing the dependence on these imports is
one of the major driving forces behind investment in nuclear power.
The target now is to bring net nuclear power capacity to 26.2 GWe
by 2031. With international cooperation, nuclear energy outlook has
improved and the Indian government is working towards its
investments to achieve its nuclear power generation target.

The focus of India’s nuclear programme has been promotion of


indigenisation. Over the years, it developed indigenous expertise in
the PHWR technology as it did not have access to enriched uranium.
The 2009 nuclear agreement signed with international community
permitted India to produce nuclear energy from imported fuel under
the guidelines of IAEA. Since then, the country has been expanding
its nuclear fuel complex. The upcoming nuclear power projects are
largely using PHWRs as local suppliers have developed expertise in
this technology and the government is also keen on protecting the
domestic industry.
There are a number of other types of reactors too with foreign
technology vendors providing the reactor technology. VVER by
Russia and EPR by France are examples. But these are
fundamentally PWRs. Indigenously developed fast neutron reactors
are gradually gaining traction as well.

Market size of nuclear equipment industry


India’s installed nuclear capacity as of 2019 is 6.255 GWe and it is
expected to rise to approximately ~9.255 to ~10.255 GWe by 2025.
Over 2020-2025, the country’s nuclear power capacity is estimated
to register a CAGR of 7.5 – 8.5%.

Growth drivers for Indian Nuclear Equipment Industry


• With rising carbon neutrality goals and targets, India is focussing
on clean power generation through renewables and nuclear
technology.
• To benefit from large thorium reserves, India has been
developing indigenous reactor technology to reduce its
dependence on imported uranium. India wishes to become
largely self-reliant in terms of nuclear fuel requirements.
• The 2009 nuclear deal and the subsequent adoption of IAEA
safety norms boosted the outlook for India’s nuclear industry and
made authorities confident of aggressively expanding nuclear
energy capacities
• To strengthen the domestic nuclear supply chain in line with the
government’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative, the government has
devised a policy to construct a fleet of reactors with a single
timeframe. This is expected to increase opportunities for
domestic suppliers such as L&T, Godrej, MTAR etc.

Indian space equipment industry


ISRO is responsible for driving the space sector in India. It is
responsible for space missions related to satellites, launch vehicles
and R&D. It has an ecosystem of 400+ suppliers (largely SMEs) that
contribute components towards ISRO’s mission. ISRO is the sole
entity that is responsible for procurement and assembly of satellites
and launch vehicles. Currently, launch services come under the
purview of ISRO. However, the regulations are in the process of
getting updated to involve private participation.
ISRO has plans to expand its technological prowess in the future
with missions such as Chandrayaan-3, Gaganyaan (human
spaceflight mission), Aditya-1 (proposed mission to study the Sun),
Sukrayaan-1 (proposed orbiter to Venus) and a new port in Tamil
Nadu for SSLVs. ISRO conducted 14 missions in FY19 and more than
11 missions in FY20. It hopes to complete 36 missions in FY21 and
31 missions in FY22.
Investment in space technology constitutes a major chunk of the
overall space budget and is likely to hold a majority in future
budgets as well. The investment share of space technology in overall
expenditure has risen from 59.7% in FY16 to 72.4% in FY21.

The satellite manufacturing and launch systems market in India is


estimated to reach Rs 46 – 48 bn by FY25, at a CAGR of 7-8% over
FY20-25. Due to regulations, the commercial segment of this
industry is virtually non-existent. However, proposed policies have
changed the outlook for the commercial segment and it is expected
to reach Rs 8-9 bn by FY25. Given India’s military position with
respect to its neighbours and rising prominence of satellite
applications in military use, the military and government segment is
expected to lead and reach Rs 37–39 bn by FY25.

Key growth drivers and trends


• India’s satellite launch services are highly cost-competitive and
reliable. Hence, it is expected that foreign entities will seek out
ISRO for satellite launches of medium and small category.
• With the possibility of private players owning satellite systems,
the demand for satellite manufacturing and launches will rise
from the commercial end. Start-ups are also coming up in the
space domain with significant technological prowess.
• Government support to private players (in the form of technology
transfer, infrastructure support for launches etc) will aide end-to-
end manufacturing set-up for satellites and launch systems.
Rising demand for small satellites and SSLVs will foster cost
optimisation through economies of scale and manufacturing
efficiency
• The small and micro satellites market is gaining ground due to
electronic miniaturisation technology, reduced manufacturing
time, its lightweight, and cost-effective nature. In the near term,
a surge in demand for SSLVs is expected as it will make ISRO
more cost competitive for lower payload launches.
• The growth of the earth observation downstream market is
expected aid the satellite manufacturing and launch industry
• ISRO has plans for 31 satellite missions over the next two
financial years. A total of 32 launch missions have been planned.
These consist of PSLV, GSLV Mk II, GSLV Mk III and SSLV. ISRO
has also outsourced end-to-end production of 5 PSLVs to the
private sector and a further order of 12 is on the cards

Fuel cell (clean energy) industry


The need to address climate change is driving a transformation of
power systems globally. Renewables, including solar, wind, hydro,
biofuels, tidal energy and others, are at the centre of the transition
to a less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy system.
Renewables has been in a bright spot with the strong growth of solar
photovoltaics and wind turbines in recent years. But the role of
renewables in transportation and heating is also critical for the
energy transition and portable sources of energy, such as hydrogen
fuel cells and electric cars, have come to play a larger role.

Fuel cells are evolving as a source of distributed generation


Stationary fuel cell systems are used for backup power, powering
remote locations, stand-alone power plants for off-grid towns and
cities, distributed generation for residential and commercial
buildings, and co-generation. Fuel cell-based distribution energy is
still nascent, and is limited to niche applications and regions. Fuel
cell stationary applications find more relevance for commercial
applications such as data centers and servers, hospitals, cellular
towers. USA has seen the largest deployment of fuel cell energy.
So far, fuel cells have succeeded in certain niche applications, such
as space (satellites, and the space station), forklifts in warehouses,
telecom tower, and primary and backup power for critical facilities

SOFC (solid oxide fuel cells) – are available with >200 kW capacity.
Each has a different operating characteristic and serves a different
segment of the CHP or power generation market

PEMFC and SOFC dominates fuel cell technology deployment


Not all fuel cell technologies have taken off successfully. Deployment
of some fuel types has been limited owing to road blocks in
effectiveness and high lifetime cost of the technology as compared
with alternatives. PEMFC requires highly pure hydrogen as fuel, and
its operational temperature provides only low grade heat. However,
it demonstrates a fast response to change in power demand. SOFC
offers high electrical efficiency and high-grade heat, use natural gas
as fuel, but has long start-up time and slow response time.

Key risks
Dependence on key customers
MTAR depends on a limited number of customers for a significant
portion of revenues. While the company catered to 35 customers
during 1HFY21, the top five customers contributing to 88.39% of
revenues from operations (87.31% in FY20). The loss of one or more
significant customers or a significant reduction in demand for its
products or failure to succeed in tendering for projects for its
customers in the future or a decline in the customers’ business
performance may adversely affect MTAR’s business, financials and
cash flows.

Dependence on Government (budgetary support and policies)


MTAR depends significantly on orders from NPCIL, ISRO and DRDO.
A decline or reprioritisation of funding in the Indian budget towards
the respective departments of the Government of India, under which
these customers operate, or delays in the budget process could
adversely affect MTAR’s ability to grow or maintain sales, earnings,
and cash flow. Further, the liberalisation of the defence or space
sectors to allow the entry of private and foreign companies may
increase the level of competition faced by MTAR thereby impacting
its ability to compete effectively.

Short-term nature of purchase orders


MTAR primarily relies on purchase orders to govern the volume and
other terms of the sales of its products and does not have long-term
supply agreements with its customers. If its customers choose not to
source their requirements from MTAR or manufacture such products
in-house, its business and results of operations may be adversely
affected. Any failure to meet its customers’ expectations and
stringent specifications could result in the cancellation or non-
renewal of contracts or purchase orders. MTAR also face risks of a
low growth rate because the orders placed by some of its customers
are typically non-recurring in nature.

Failure to comply with quality standards and Risk of


liquidated damages
MTAR is subject to strict quality standards and any failure to comply
with such quality standards may lead to cancellation of existing and
future orders which may adversely affect its reputation, financial
conditions and cash flows.

MTAR may face claims and incur additional rectification costs for
delays and/or defects in respect of precision components and
equipment. Further, imposition of liquidated damages and invocation
of performance bank guarantees / indemnity bonds by its customers
could impact its results of operations and it may face potential
liabilities from lawsuits and claims by customers in the future. MTAR
may not be able to secure new contracts if it is unable to issue the
requisite performance guarantees. While MTAR has not incurred
significant liquidated damages, in the past, the company has been
required to pay certain liquidated damages for delays. The maximum
extent of such liquidated damages range between 5% and 10% of
the value of the delayed portion, of the supplies of the purchase
order.

MTAR TECHNOLOGIES LTD

Failure to identify evolving industry trends


Changes in customer preferences, regulatory or industry trends or
requirements or in competitive technologies may render certain
products of MTAR obsolete or less attractive. The company needs to
anticipate changes in technology and regulatory standards and
successfully develop and introduce new and enhanced products to
remain competitive in the key segments.

RM price volatility and availability


Volatility in the supply of the raw materials could have an adverse
effect. Its raw material suppliers could fail to meet their obligations,
which may have a material adverse effect on its business. Further,
import of certain raw materials, exposes MTAR to currency
fluctuation risk and it may not be able to effectively hedge itself from
the fluctuations in raw material prices and foreign exchange rate
thereby adversely impacting profitability.

Pricing pressure and increase in competition


Pricing pressure from customers may adversely affect MTAR’s gross
margin, profitability and ability to increase prices. MTAR faces
competition in its product line, including from competitors that may
have greater financial and marketing resources. Failure to compete
effectively may have an adverse impact on its business.

Higher fixed cost structure


MTAR owns a large range of sophisticated and modern equipment,
resulting in increased fixed costs. Lower business activities and
inadequate cash-flows can impact the maintenance activities and
hence performance of the equipment.

Promoter pledge
As of the date of its Draft Red Herring Prospectus, 1,269,625 Equity
Shares constituting 4.74% of the Equity Shares, held by Parvat
Srinivas Reddy, a Promoter of MTAR, are pledged in favor of
Blacksoil Capital Private Limited. Any exercise of such encumbrance
by such pledgee could dilute the shareholding of such Promoter and
consequently dilute the aggregate shareholding of its Promoters,
which may materially and adversely affect its business.

Key to our recommendation structure

BUY - Stock expected to give a return 10%+ more than average return on a debt instrument over a 1-year horizon.

SELL - Stock expected to give a return 10%+ below the average return on a debt instrument over a 1-year horizon.

Add - Stock expected to give a return 0-10% over the average return on a debt instrument over a 1-year horizon.

Reduce - Stock expected to give a return 0-10% below the average return on a debt instrument over a 1-year horizon.

Distribution of Ratings: Out of 177 stocks rated in the IIFL coverage universe, 86 have BUY ratings, 9 have SELL ratings, 41 have ADD ratings,
and 41 have REDUCE ratings.

Price Target: Unless otherwise stated in the text of this report, target prices in this report are based on either a discounted cash flow valuation or
comparison of valuation ratios with companies seen by the analyst as comparable or a combination of the two methods. The result of this
fundamental valuation is adjusted to reflect the analyst’s views on the likely course of investor sentiment. Whichever valuation method is used there
is a significant risk that the target price will not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Risk factors include unforeseen changes in competitive
pressures or in the level of demand for the company’s products. Such demand variations may result from changes in technology, in the overall level
of economic activity or, in some cases, in fashion. Valuations may also be affected by changes in taxation, in exchange rates and, in certain
industries, in regulations. Investment in overseas markets and instruments such as ADRs can result in increased risk from factors such as exchange
rates, exchange controls, taxation, and political and social conditions. This discussion of valuation methods and risk factors is not comprehensive –
further information is available upon request.
