Tata Motor to hike vehicle price


Tata Motors has announced a hike of up to Rs35,000 on its commercial and passenger vehicles. 

“The price hike is proportionate to the increase in the corresponding excise duty announced in the Union Budget,” said a Tata Motors spokesperson. 

The budget hiked the excise duty from 10% to 12%. The company upped the prices on March 16. 

The increase in prices could be anywhere between Rs2,000 and Rs35,000 depending on the model, the spokesperson added. 

The passenger car segment will see a price hike of Rs2,000-8,000, while utility vehicle segment will see hikes in the Rs8,000-35,000 range. The company did not give details regarding model-wise hike in prices.

Hold Cairn India TP.342 rs.



  • Hike in cess from Rs.2500 to Rs.4500/ton seemed to have badly hit the upside in the stock price.


  • Delays in production approvals and the resultant restriction in production growth has also affected 

stock price movement.

  • Target price on the scrip has been revised to Rs.342 from Rs.327 on expectation of higher crude oil 

price and exchange rate benefit (Rs.50 /Dollar) and also considering negative impact of cess hike.

  • It seems that most of the positive catalysts are priced in at the current price and the potential upside 

lies with the reserve upgrade. But, this is unlikely in the near term.

  • The stock has solid fundamentals but it looks better to wait for a better entry point.

ITC


ITC
Cluster: Apple Green
Recommendation: Buy
Price target: Rs250
Current market price: Rs221

Price target revised to Rs250

 A price increase of additional 7-9% in the cigarette portfolio will have an impact on the sales volume of ITC's cigarette business, resulting in flattish sales for a quarter or two. However, once the prices are absorbed in the market, we expect the volume growth to improve in the subsequent quarters. Hence, we have reduced our cigarette business' volume growth expectation for FY2013 to 3.5% from 6% earlier.
