Overall industry export growth continues as OTR demand remains strong

On end-product basis, industry growth sustained in agri tyres (H1FY23 up ~13% YoY) and accounted for ~66% of total exports (down 170bps YoY). On OTR side, momentum remains strong with H1FY23 growth at 22% YoY, signalling rising infrastructure spending along with improving mining activities for precious metals used in electronics and batteries aided by low inventory levels. We believe the outlook for global agri tyre exports remains strong as peers witness strong order inflows from replacement market with inventory destocking exercise by dealers resulting in lower dispatches. 

BIL’s share of India OHT tyre exports breaches 60% mark in Q2FY23 as US drives growth spike in agri and OTR

As per commerce ministry data, BIL has been consistently outperforming industry exports on a YoY basis (refer Table 4) and has finally breached 60% market share mark in Q2FY23 from average 50% share over the past three years. On regional basis, BIL reported 17% growth YoY against industry decline of 17% YoY in the EU in Q2, while for the US, BIL grew 60% YoY, higher than industry growth of 55% YoY.

Near-term capacity pressure presents an opportunity to enter; maintain BUY

BIL, with its cost arbitrage advantage vs peers, is still able to price its products at a discount of ~15-20% to global peers amidst inflationary power/fuel and manpower costs. “This enables BIL to make lower price hikes and maintain profitability, resulting in continued improvement in market share (currently ~7% and targeting ~10% in next 3 years). With a mean RoE of ~23% and FCF of Rs20bn in FY23E-FY24E combined, BIL is providing a great opportunity to get added in portfolio currently, we believe,” the brokerage said.
