Management meet – Key takeaways
Management indicated that RAIL is in the process of getting the requisite approvals
for contract manufacturing from Dahej plant and capacity would be ramped-up
over the course of FY2012. The plant is expected to operate at close to its peak
capacity from FY2013.
Management announced that so far the company has introduced three products in
the domestic formulations business in FY2012.
Management is confident on the prospects for key crops such as cotton and paddy
due to generally normal monsoons, which should aid continued healthy growth in
the agrochemicals industry. RAIL expects to outperform the industry given its
product pipeline.
Investment arguments
Set to seize rising opportunities in the domestic pesticides market: India's overall
pesticide consumption is one of the lowest in the world, and we believe RAIL is well
placed to seize this opportunity on the back of its wide distribution network, strong
brands and robust new product pipeline. According to industry estimates, the
unorganised market accounts for another 50% of the industry. Nonetheless,
we believe RAIL is in a position to wrest market share as well as charge a premium
for its products.
Exports to register steady growth: Closing down of capacity in China before the
2008 Olympics and MNCs diversifying their base to India had resulted in the
company’s exports spiking by 80% to `295cr in FY2009. The scenario, however,
changed post the Olympics and many closed capacities have come on stream and
prices of commodities have corrected, due to which exports declined by 35% in
FY2010; however, exports improved by ~41% in FY2011. Against this backdrop,
we estimate RAIL to post a 27% CAGR in exports over FY2011–13.

5. Rallis India | 1QFY2012 Result Update
Contract manufacturing to be the next growth driver: RAIL plans to focus on
contract manufacturing for exports and selectively target and supply to the top
players. To facilitate the same, the company is setting up a new plant at Dahej.
Overall, RAIL targets to achieve cumulative revenue of `1,000cr over the next five
years from this segment alone.
Outlook and valuation
Management is confident of the prospects for key crops such as cotton and paddy
due to generally normal monsoons, which should aid continued healthy growth in
the agrochemicals industry. RAIL expects to outperform the industry given its
product pipeline. Overall, we expect RAIL to register a CAGR of 20% and 23% in
its net sales and profit over FY2011–13, respectively. At current levels, the stock is
trading at fair valuations of 17.4x FY2013E EPS. Hence, we remain Neutral
on the stock.
