In 2015 the e-commerce market in India was estimated at US$19.2 billion and is expected to grow by more than 200% over 2015-2025. The growth of internet retailing is driven by a number of factors, such as increased penetration of the internet and smartphones, a growing online consumer base, changing lifestyles, as well as innovations in payment options. Moreover, the e-commerce retailing industry is on the verge of consolidation; global retailers such as Alibaba and Amazon, as well as <a href="http://www.portal.euromonitor.com/portal/?t%2fj%2fCdEUWNlkXTh6MysL3g%3d%3d" target="_blank">Walmart, have recently voiced their interest</a> in acquisitions or merger deals with top Indian online retailers. As a result, the opportunities for India’s logistics industry are growing, together with demand. The aggressive growth of e-commerce retailing will contribute strongly to India’s logistics industry being among the fastest growing performers in the world over the 2015-2025 period.

On 8 November 2016, the Indian Government shocked the economy with a radical decision to withdraw INR500 and INR1000 notes from circulation and substitute the notes with new INR500 and INR2000 notes. The move has been applauded by international observers who have for years condemned India's blind eye towards its 'black economy'. However, in India, the demonetization exercise has gained little popularity as the logistical challenges in replacing the ineffectual cash is significantly disrupting…

Negative Impact of India's Demonetization Not to Be Underestimated

There are high hopes that Urjit Patel, the new RBI governor will attempt to revive bank lending, and thereby stimulate capital investment in the Indian economy. But that would require his having the right diagnosis in the first place. The current approach is that India suffers from a 'balance sheet' issue of over-leveraged large corporates and banks burdened with poor asset quality. Resolving these issues through stringent asset recognition norms and recovery mechanisms combined with economic reforms will put India back on the track of high investments. However, RBI's own data shifts the spotlight elsewhere but strangely nobody appears interested in exploring further as it challenges the mainstream view.

Geopolitical tensions in the sub-continent, already running high, have taken a turn for the worst as India carried out surgical strikes across the Line of Control (LoC) into Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. This is a first time that India has actually crossed the LoC to send a strong signal to Pakistan and this action, unfortunately, increases the risk of confrontation well into the future. Historically any tensions between India and Pakistan were defused by back channel intervention of global powers…

In what has been a range bound market, the element which stood out in recent times is increased participation of small/micro caps with relatively unknown names or proven track record. Even as foreign inflows through ETFs chased the large caps, domestic flows have led to a surge in midcap valuations and growth expectations in several names are bordering on the unrealistic now. This has to be a concern and could be a lead indicator of market volatility and imminent correction.Since the overriding sentiment in this newsletter is that the markets will correct, the most prudent course of action would be to partially book profits wherever valuations don't support fundamentals. Meanwhile, we would continually scout for new ideas as well as consolidate existing position in stocks/sectors we strongly believe can generate absolute returns i.e. Cement, NBFCs, Speciality Chemicals. Beneficiaries of rising construction equipment demand is in focus in this edition.
