Capital Goods (Thematic): Industrial capex – On recovery path
Oil & Gas, Steel and Cement capex to drive revival over FY17-21
Post a decline in the period FY12-17, green shoots of recovery are visible in
industrial capex; we expect a recovery during FY17-21e, driven by a revival in Oil
& Gas, Cement and Steel capex. Capex in the O&G space is being driven by the
BS VI emission norm related upgrades (INR300b spend), brownfield/greenfield
refinery expansions by various PSU oil marketing companies and revival of five
fertilizer units (FY17-21E capex CAGR growth of 8%).
Cement sector capex primarily in East India; Waster Heat Recovery Generators
(WHRG) also being deployed (FY17-21E capex CAGR growth of 9%). Within the
steel sector, rising commodity prices along with import tariffs has led to metal
companies announcing capacity additions (FY17-21E capex CAGR growth of 7%)
– TATA Steel and JSW Steel are the front runners.
Consumer oriented sectors (Auto, FMCG, Consumer durables) capex growth to
remain steady during FY17-21e; pharma declines on sector head winds. Our top
picks to play the industrial capex recovery are Engineers India (BUY,
TP:INR200), Thermax (BUY, TP:INR1350), L&T(BUY, INR1670) and Cummins
India(BUY, TP:INR1040)
