The company has set-up a green field project at Jamshedpur with a capacity of 30,000 MTPA and is likely to be fully operational in late 2010. This plant will help to capitalize on the rising demand for leaf & parabolic springs. Its Chennai plant in place with the capacity of 1,44,000 MTPA, the company is now planning to increase its capacity by setting up plants at Pune and Lucknow. Parabolic springs comprise 8% of the product mix of Jamna Auto. With increased awareness about the advantages of these kinds of springs, the company is sensing a major shift in OEM demand for parabolic springs. Hence, the company is planning to expand capacities for parabolic springs, which will result in higher contribution from this segment, and thus better margins. With technical assistance agreement with the Ridewell Corp, USA, the company has started manufacturing air-suspension and components. This new segment of air suspension system has been growing rapidly with the market size of 4000 units per annum and will diversity the companys portfolio. The Central Government is planning to purchase 15,000 buses with air-suspension system. Being a dominant player in the market, Jamna Auto will be benefited. The companys exports activity is quite small. With increased production and diversified product-mix, the company will look at export market as well in future.

Industry Overview
Post global financial crisis, the industry has stabilized with original equipment manufacturers experiencing improvement in demand conditions. The springs demand for commercial vehicles in India is expected to grow by 8% annually for next 3-5 years. Given the increasing participation of Indian companies in exporting activities, the Indian automotive industry is going to be benefited with global market growing at 6% annually. The demand for commercial vehicles is increasing which is a healthy sign for the automotive and ancillary industry. Unorganized players have significant share in the replacement market. However, with the introduction of Goods & Service Tax, all the players will be on the same level and there will be big market for the organized players.

The company has registered growth rate of 26% CAGR in topline and 95% CAGR in bottomline in last five years. Given the strong order book and dominant share in ancillary sector, I expect the company to continue its dream run on the back of strong fundamentals and good management. The operating expenses have come to 271 bps w.r.t. total income in last five years. I expect to see further 250 bps improvement in next two years, which will further improve the margins. The topline and bottomline is expected to be around Rs. 950 crore and Rs. 46 crore in FY2011 and Rs. 1240 crore and Rs. 69 crore in FY2012 respectively, resulting in Net Profit Margin of 4.87% and 5.57% respectively, which is better than that of FY2010, 2.76%.

Jamna Auto Industries is trading at Rs. 144 per share on 25th August, 2010, which makes it highly undervalued given the calculated Fair Value of Rs. 173 per share. During the economic meltdown last fiscal year, the scrip took a hard beating when the bottomline plummet sharply. With FY2010, the company is back on track and its fundamentals are look strong. The financials have recovered dramatically, signaling the market that the company is on its way to continue high growth in coming years. The Sensitivity Analysis suggests that even if we take a pessimistic view of the key parameters, i.e. cost of capital continue to be at the current level even after five years and terminal growth of the company be on the lower side, the Fair Value would still be equal to the Current Market Price of the scrip, which makes the scrip a safe bet.

Investment Arguments
On the back of strong demand in the commercial vehicle segments, expanding capacities & product portfolio, adding more location & markets and improving efficiencies, Jamna Auto is likely to show significantly better bottomline performance in next six quarters. The company expects its order book to jump significantly in favor of parabolic springs, thereby giving a significant fillip to its profitability. After taking the beating in the FY2009, the scrip has recovered substantially but still there is lot of steam left. The company is currently trading at 31.13x TTM P/E. At estimated Forward EPS of Rs. 16.22, the company is trading at 8.87x forward P/E, which indicates a highly undervalued scrip. With the 2-year estimate of PAT growth as 109% CAGR, at current P/E, the PEG ratio stands at 0.28, which again states that the scrip is highly undervalued and has an upside potential.
