Auto: Jun’21 - PV/Tractor wholesales driven by demand pull

 

• 2Ws, CVs, and Tractors were above our muted expectations, while PVs were in line with our optimistic estimates. While Jun’21 was the first month post lifting of the lockdowns by states, demand remains skewed towards PVs and Tractors (higher than Jun’19), with CVs and 2Ws yet to catch up. 2W/M&HCV/LCV volumes fell by 10%/33%/19% CAGR (v/s Jun’19), whereas the same for PV/Tractors grew by 8%/20% CAGR. Based on weak feedback for 2W/M&HCV retails, there seems to be a further inventory build-up in 2Ws (45-60 days).
• 2Ws – Above our estimate, 10% CAGR decline (v/s Jun’19): Volumes declined by 10% CAGR (v/s Jun’19, +13% YoY). Domestic 2W sales surprised, whereas exports were restricted due to logistic issues in Jun’21. Volumes for HMCL/RE/BJAUT/TVSL declined by 13%/14%/6%/8% CAGR over Jun’19 (grew 4%/13%/22%/25% YoY).
• PVs – in line, grew by 8% CAGR (v/s Jun’19): PV wholesales are driven by order backlog and a demand recovery, with a gradual opening of the market. MSIL’s volumes were in line (+9% CAGR v/s Jun’19, +157% YoY). MM’s volumes (UVs including Pickups) declined by 7% CAGR (v/s Jun’19, +65.5% YoY). TTMT’s PV volumes posted a growth of 34% CAGR (v/s Jun’19, +66% YoY).
• CVs – Above our estimate, 25% CAGR decline (v/s Jun’19): Both M&HCV and LCV volumes were above our estimates, signaling inventory building by OEMs (post supply-side issues in the last few months). M&HCV/LCV volumes posted a 33%/19% CAGR decline (v/s Jun’19), but grew 136.5%/107% YoY. AL posted a 29% CAGR decline (v/s Jun’19, +169% YoY). TTMT’s CV volumes declined by 24% CAGR (v/s Jun’19, +111% YoY). VECV posted a 27% CAGR decline (v/s Jun’19, +79.5% YoY).
• Tractors – Above our estimate, 20% CAGR growth (v/s Jun’19): Tractor volumes grew by 20% CAGR (v/s Jun’19, +28% YoY). With the timely arrival of monsoons and government support in the form of higher MSP prices, MM/ESC’s Tractor volumes posted a 21%/15.5% CAGR growth over Jun’19.
