Maruti (MSIL) eyes ~12.7% volume CAGR in passenger cars (PV) in Asia (excluding Japan) more than CY20-25. Suzuki Motor Corporation has shared its mid-term management program for the next 5 years (Apr’21 to Mar’26). It areas higher emphasis on top quality as the shift to electrification and software program improvement are but to take spot.
It would prioritise 3 problems: CO2 emissions in use, CO2 emissions from production, and top quality assurance. The essential highlights are: Suzuki has renewed its concentrate on electric cars (EVs) with an estimated timeline of CY25. This appears to be slightly later than the plans of most of MSIL’s competitors, although it might not be late if the inflexion point for electric Cars is back-ended. It is focused on sustaining its marketplace share of more than 50% in India.
On the solution front, the concentrate is on strengthening its presence in the SUV segment as properly as advertising CNG automobiles. While it talks about deepening its alliance with Toyota, there are no specifics beyond the broader locations of EVs, the African marketplace, and supplementing items and elements. Develop EVs by CY25 and decrease emissions.
The India business enterprise: Suzuki will take the initiative in advertising electrification in India in response to environmental problems, and retain a marketplace share of more than 50% in the passenger car or truck segment. The business expects recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and development in the Indian marketplace.
Strong demand and steady competitive positioning would drive the convergence of P/E towards its 5-year typical of ~30x. The stock trades at 25.7x/20.8x FY22E/FY23E consolidated EPS. We worth the stock at 27x Mar’23E consolidated EPS (at a 10% discount to its 5-year typical P/E v/s 25x earlier) to issue in robust demand and steady marketplace share. Maintain ‘buy’.
It will proactively market the improvement of many carbon neutrality technologies. It is targeting ‘zero’ CO2 emissions from production by CY50. Suzuki is targeting ~12.7% CAGR in PV volumes in Asia (excluding Japan) more than CY20-25. This development would be mainly driven by India and is broadly in line with our estimate and on a low base of CY20. It will concentrate on producing larger top quality, worth-packed items at very affordable rates. It will also concentrate on prevention, early detection, and outflow of top quality difficulties by promptly investigating the causes and taking countermeasures, making items with decreased variants, and expanded traceability management.
The India business enterprise: Suzuki will take the initiative in advertising electrification in India in response to environmental problems, and retain a marketplace share of more than 50% in the Passenger Car segment. The alliance with Toyota will be deepened for co-operation in electrified cars, the African marketplace, and will supplement items and elements.

It aims at record consolidated net sales of JPY4.8t. The operating earnings target is set at 5.5%, under its prior target of 7%, due to aggressive investments (JPY1t or ~$9.4b) on study and improvement, such as electrification, more than 5 years. It will invest an further JPY1.4t (~$13.2b). The dividend payout ratio is targeted at 30%. This implies an improve of ~30% in its annual R&D spending budget, whereas capex stands at comparable levels.
While the demand atmosphere is robust, expense absorption would be gradual, maintaining margin in verify for FY22E. We count on a gradual recovery in the margin as the expense is absorbed more than the next 2-3 quarters. MSIL is greatest positioned in a fuel inflationary atmosphere, offered its robust positioning in tiny Cars and robust CNG portfolio.
