    Evolution and Growth of Industry

    A Nations economy is well known from its transport system for instant and rapid growth ineconomy, a well-developed and well-networked transportation system isessential. As India'stransport network is developing at a fast pace, Indian AutomobileIndustry is growing too. Also,the Automobile industry has strong backward andforward linkages and hence providesemployment to a large section of the population. Thus the role of Automobile Industry is veryessential in Indian economy. Varioustypes of vehicles are manufactured by the AutomobileIndustry. Indian Automobile Industry includes the manufacturing of trucks, buses, passenger cars, defensevehicles, two-wheelers, etc.

    The industry can be broadly segmented into the following category :-

    Commercial Vehicle (CV) industry in India has surged over the past decade and the market is

    expected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% until 2016 ( Source: Society of Indian Automobile

    Manufacturers (SIAM) ) with many companies competing to expand. Commercial vehicle is a

    type of motor vehicle that is used for transporting goods or carrying passengers with former

    contributing around 87% in India. Commercial vehicles are classified into Light, Medium &

    Heavy depending upon its gross vehicle weight. The CV industry enables quick, easy departure

    of goods and accepts smaller loads than railways and also commercial vehicles can access

    remote and hilly areas where rail lines cannot be constructed.

    The main growth drivers for CV Industry are modernization of the trucking industry, structural

    shift to Hub & Spoke model, improved road infrastructure, growing freight capacity and increase

    in exports from remote areas enabling the producers/manufacturers to move their goods to ports.

    The key risk factors for this industry are low freight demand and truck rentals, non-availability ofcargos, fuel price, risk prone area of occupation, sudden transport strike, competition with

    alternate mode of transport (Railways) and any new government regulations related to

    restrictions based on age of the vehicle and other environmental safety issues. Also, recent study

    on CV industry by ICRA found that the Indias GDP and IIP numbers are very closely correlated

    with the development of Commercial Vehicle Industry, which in turn has made this industry the

    lifeline of Indian Economy.

    CV Financing and Securitisation

    CV Financing Industry in India has seen an impressive growth and in the last five years till 2012-

    13, CV loan disbursements grew by around 11 per cent ( Source: CRISIL Research, Retail

    Finance- Auto, June 2013 ). Major players in CV Financing in India are Tata Motors

    Cholamandalam Finance, Sundaram Finance, AU Finance, Shriram Transport Finance, Magma,

    L&T, M&M and Religare. The key factors that could impact vehicle financing in India are

    growth in vehicle sales, finance penetration and average ticket size (players offering marginally

    higher LTV because of competition from other players). The process of pooling the loans given

    by these CV financiers and selling the securities backed by cash flows from the loans to investors

    is termed as Securitization of CV pools and the bank or finance company that has originated

    the pool of receivables/loans is termed as Originator. While selecting the loans for

  • 8/11/2019 PROJECT REPORT ON COMMERCIAL VEHICLES INDUSTRY

    8/26

    8

    securitization, Originator should take into account the factors such as loan tenure, Interest rates,

    vehicle type (LCV/UCV), geographical diversity, recovery rates, etc.

    Growth of the industry is taking place in clusters. The automotive industry is developing inclusters. There are four major clusters in the automotive industry in India. They are in andaround New Delhi, Gurgaon and Manesar in North India, Pune, Nasik, Halol and Aurangabad inWest India, Chennai, Bangalore and Hosur in South India and Jamshedpur and Kolkata in EastIndia. Of course there are several manufacturing units in many other parts of India but these fourclusters are expected to become the main hubs for manufacturing in the automotive industry. TheGovernment of India (GOI) is taking initiatives to develop the automotive clusters. For example,the GOI, in its 11th Five Year Plan (2007 2012), is planning to create the Specialized Educationand Training Institute for the automotive industry. It is also taking measures to enhancetransportation, communication, and infrastructure facilities in these clusters.

    After a few years of strong growth, Indias commercial vehicle (CV) industry hit a rough patchlast year, impacted by the overalleconomic slowdown, delay in infrastructure projects and weak investment sentiment. However,the industry has long-term growth

    potential, subject to the economy accelerating back to 7% 8% GDP growth per annum and theGovernment expediting policies thatsupport growth of manufacturing and infrastructure development. While deregulation of diesel

    prices will make the industry lessdependent on subsidies, it is likely to create demand uncertainty in the short-term as truckowners and manufacturers adjust to the new normal.

    Rising commercial vehicle loan defaults increase risk for lenders

    The inevitable fallout of the long decline in commercial vehicle (CV) sales is the rise indelinquencies in loans to this sector. Prolonged sluggishness in the economy along with highinterest rates has led to defaults of commercial vehicle loans. Obviously, this puts at risk the non-

    banking finance firms, which have a reasonably high exposure to this segment.

    A report by India Ratings and Research Pvt. Ltd says that for the quarter ended September,the weighted average of 90- plus days dues rose by 23% from the immediate precedin g quarterto 3% of the loans. An earlier report by Equifax Credit highlighting the 30-day outstanding loandelinquencies were up by about 18% in the first half of fiscal year 2013.

    The data is backed by the corporate results of leaders in CV lending. Shriram TransportFinance Co. Ltd reported a margin decline, albeit a small one, compared with the June quarter,mainly due to high cost of borrowing, growth moderation in assets under management andinching up non-performing assets. Non-banking financial companies in this segment likeCholamandalam Investment and Finance Co. Ltd and Sundaram Finance Ltd have reducedthe loan amount given as a percentage to value of the asset and tightened eligibility norms.

    But risks on existing assets continue to rise. A report from Antique Stock Broking Ltd pointsout some worrisome trends in the industry. Utilization of trucks has fallen as number of trips permonth has come down to six from 10, with no return trip. This has strained cash flows oftransporters. Delay in payment of loan instalments has spread from heavy trucks to evenintermediate and light CVs.

    The deteriorating fundamentals of finance firms are due to all-round sluggishness in theeconomy, ranging from agricultural product movements to industrials, mining and infrastructure.

    More worrisome is the recently noticed trend of rise in early delinquency rate against ascenario of stable repayment of loans at least in the first two to three years. The handfulof listed firms has shown stress on cash flows in the last several quarters, which isunlikely to improve immediately, in spite of improved collection procedures and lendingnorms.

    Meanwhile, year-till-date sales volume of trucks is down 27% compared with a year agofor Ashok Leyland Ltd and Tata Motors Ltd .

    A rise in truck rentals, which has been falling for many months, will bring hope. A 3-4%rise in truck rentals seen in the last two months, however, could be due to arrival of the

    agricultural harvest. This is too early to signal a revival.
