Story : Here’s a company which has excited<br />

me a great deal and gives me the hunch of<br />

digging out a huge infinite bagger in the coming<br />

years. I was looking for a counter which would<br />

be nearly debt free (high inflationary environment,<br />

double digit interest rate), should have<br />

a great brand value, better if was a household<br />

name, market leader and domestic company<br />

(recall our jockey company, Page Ind ? How<br />

about Hawkins or a TTK Prestige? Ah! all<br />

` 10-15-20 baggers, attractive valuations (to<br />

get that great midnight comfort and sleep),<br />

good dividend yield (so that if it doesn’t perform<br />

the dividend cheque may come to the rescue)<br />

and a business model which would be simple<br />

to understand coupled with stunning prospects<br />

and potential. Hyderabad Industries Ltd. just<br />

fits in everything so perfectly, at least as per<br />

my norms!<br />

Hyderabad Industries (HIL) is a flagship<br />

company of C K Birla Group. HIL’s product<br />

range includes Fibre Cement roofing sheets<br />

(Charminar), Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks<br />

and Panels (Aerocon) and Calcium Silicate<br />

insulation products (HYSIL) and Jointing material<br />

for gaskets. HIL’s most modern manufacturing<br />

plants are located at 12 locations in 8 States,<br />

viz., Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana,<br />

Jharkhand, Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa and<br />

Uttar Pradesh. HIL, being a market leader<br />

over several years now, has a strong and extensive<br />

distribution network with nearly 8000 sale outlets<br />

spread across the country which are serviced<br />

in the asbestos-based roofing industry, with<br />

an estimated market share of 21%. Its famous<br />

brand is ‘Charminar’ that has established over<br />

six decades now and enjoys a premium of 6-<br />

8% over others in the market. From a mere<br />

roof manufacturing company, this company<br />

has evolved into a multi-product, green building<br />

products organization. The demand for these<br />

building products is likely to stay firm led by<br />

growth in rural housing and price advantage<br />

of asbestos sheets over galvanized iron sheets.<br />

It has gradually diversified from an one-product<br />

company into other areas such as autoclaved<br />

aerated concrete (AAC) blocks, thermal insulation<br />

products and other products like pre-fabricated<br />

building panels, Hysil powder, spares and<br />

accessories, etc. The expansion of the capacities<br />

and the overall buoyant economic scenario are<br />

boosting demand from this segment. Over half<br />

of our population still lives under thatched<br />

roofs (Kuccha roofing) and clay tiles. Thatched<br />

roof is not waterproof and poses a fire hazard<br />

besides needing regular replacement. Tiled roof<br />

needs recurring maintenance and is also not<br />

safe. Hence, security concerns coupled with<br />

rising income levels, have given impetus to<br />

the desire to shift from kuccha houses to pucca<br />

houses. Asbestos Cement Sheets (ACS) are good<br />

insulators of heat and are sound as compared<br />

to thatched, tiled or galvanized metal roofs.<br />

Additionally, ACSs are water resistant and<br />

fire resistant. ACSs are also relatively cheaper<br />

than galvanized metal roofs. ACSs require<br />

minimal maintenance and infrequent<br />

replacement, unlike thatched and tiled roofs.<br />

Hence, whenever disposable income increases,<br />

switching to ACS roofs is the most obvious<br />

choice. The ACS industry grew by 5% in FY10,<br />

by 3.5% in FY11 and further by 7% in FY12.<br />

The industry is estimated to grow at 6-9%<br />

over the next few years on account of increased<br />

income levels in rural areas coupled with various<br />

initiatives by the Central Government for<br />

affordable housing schemes, such as Indira<br />

Awas Yojana, Golden Jubilee Rural Housing<br />

Finance Scheme and Pradhan Mantri Adarsh
