10 October 2014
Industrial Production
Out of the blue
IIP growth came in a low 0.4%, belying our expectations.
Manufacturing contracted -1.4%, led by large contractions in
office machinery, consumer durables (radio, tv etc) and apparel.
On the positive side, electricity and mining growth are buoyant.
The low IIP figures point to a slowdown in 2QFY15 GDP growth;
achieving annual GDP growth of over 5.5% now looks
challenging. If inflation slows in line with our anticipation, we see
a 25-bps rate cut in Dec14.
Performance: IIP grew 0.4% for Aug14, same as Jul14.
Manufacturing sector (-1.4%) dragged down IIP growth, despite the
buoyant growth in mining (2.6%) and electricity (12.9%). There were
also large contractions in capital goods (-11.3%) and consumer goods (-
6.9%). Consumer durables (-15%) continue to be in a protracted
stagnation. With todays data, the ytd IIP figure is 2.8%, which is
comparatively better than the flat growth during the corresponding
period of FY14.
Assessment: Todays number was below expectations, especially since
the base was favorable. The consecutive contraction in manufacturing
hints at deep-rooted malaise in the sector, which would require policy
reforms. Despite being a volatile sector, the extent of fluctuation in
capital goods does sway the IIP numbers. The slowdown in exports also
had a notable impact. The continued contraction in consumer durables
and wearing apparel, despite softening inflation is alarming. The extent
of the contraction in durables seems to be much greater than what the
car-sales figures suggest. Upward revision of these is a distinct
possibility. On a positive note electricity grew at double-digit for the
third consecutive month.
Outlook: In this quarter industrial production has faced several
headwinds Supreme Court de-allocating 214 coal-blocks; unfavorable
(high) base and high policy rates. These factors are likely to keep IIP
low for the next month as well. However, we expect the situation to
improve in 2H. There are indications that things are moving in terms of
government clearances and other administrative measures. This is
expected to expedite investments in 2H. Inflation, which is now slowing
down is likely to revive consumption we expect durables and non-
durables to perform better in the coming months. The festive and new-
year season will also play a positive role. The favorable base would
accentuate the recovery.
Recommendations: The low IIP growth not only raises concerns about
the 2QFY15 GDP growth, which is likely to come in significantly below
the 1QFY15 GDP number, but also the FY15 growth. Achieving a
growth over 5.5% now looks challenging. While we await the inflation
numbers next week, if inflation softens in line with our expectation, there
will be heightened pressure on RBI to cut the policy rates. So we hold on
to a possible 25-bps rate cut in Dec14.
