Havells India: Leader in Electrical Goods and Consumer Durables

Rajeev Mantri of Navam Capital presented his investment thesis on Havells India Limited (HIL) (India: 517354) at Asian Investing Summit 2021.

Thesis summary:

Havells India is an industry-leading, best-in-class electrical goods and consumer durables manufacturer in India with a market capitalization of INR 645 billion / US$ 8.8 billion. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on rising per-capita incomes in India, which provide a strong tailwind and should lead to higher discretionary spending on electrical goods and consumer durables.

With a strong R&D focus, a track record of profitable growth, superior financial management, and strong emphasis on nationwide distribution, HIL has the opportunity to emerge as a global-scale player in its industry while it enables the transformation and modernization of the Indian home.

Along with the rise of the domestic market and enabling government policy, HIL is also positioned to capture large export opportunities. A shakeout of subscale, non-organized sector players in the Indian electrical goods industry through the Covid crisis has strengthened HIL.

The company’s leading-edge capabilities, proven leadership, and growth headroom should lead to substantial earnings growth in the years to come.
