(N) Strength and Weakness
Strengths
(i) Market leader in Power Generation
Cummins India Ltd is a leading manufacturer of diesel engines and power generator sets with a 40% market share in the diesel engines/gensets industry. It also has a strong presence in high-value and high-margin high HP gensets.
Moreover, The company has a strong technology and innovation track record, well supported by its parent, which helps it stay ahead of peers across changes in emission norms.
The segment’s order visibility continues to remain strong on the back of higher infrastructure spends, PLI investments, 5G and cloud based data storage driving demand for data centers.
(ii) Advantage from R&D focus of the Cummins Group
Cummins India is a subsidiary of Cummins Inc, USA – a global manufacturer of engines and other power generation products. CIL in collaboration with its parent company, Cummins Inc., USA introduces new products and improves upon existing products, which are tailored for the specific needs of the Indian market. CIL’s moat lies in the tech advantage from parent’s $1bn annual R&D.
The base tech from the parent can be customized with lower domestic R&D spends in India and sold as new age products. It benefits from Cummins group entities in terms of sourcing and sales of products at a payment of marginal royalty.
Strong R&D focus by the parent company coupled with marginal royalty payment ~1% of net sales as royalty p.a. during FY16-20 (~0.3% in FY21) helps CIL perform well
(iii) Beneficiary from huge growth in Data Centers
Cummins, being the largest player, is a major beneficiary providing diesel gensets of higher capacity with more local content to large data centers.
Each data center needs to be equipped with power backup system, which includes diesel genset as it requires 24*7 power. Thus, there is a huge underlying opportunity in the diesel genset market.
Usually, the medium-large data center would need high HP diesel genset as backup power where CIL is a market leader in the category.
However, The India data center market is expected to double its capacity in the upcoming years, which is driven by strong digitalization and increase in cloud adoption. India data center market size was valued at $4.35 billion in 2021 and will reach $10.09 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 15% during 2022-27.
(iv) Focus on clean energy technology (mainly hydrogen technology)
Cummins India is well positioned to offer wide product offerings when mainstream diesel/gas power generation assets are phased out. Being a subsidiary of Cummins Inc, USA, the company has access to advanced technologies in the power technology business.
From advanced diesel and natural gas to the latest hybrid, battery electric and fuel cell options; the group has presence across diverse alternative offerings.
Additionally, Cummins provides the entire electrified solution from zero-emission transportation systems that can fully-charge in under eight hours to critical components like expertly integrated battery packs, which results in maximum performance and power, with reduced motor maintenance, service and fuel fees.
Cummins also offers a complete line of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Modules and compositions for every electric vehicle and power application. The company has operational technologies in battery, hydrogen fuel cell as well as hydrogen generation
Weakness
(i) Raw material price volatility
Faster replacement of diesel gensets : The evolution of battery technology poses a viable threat to diesel gensets even in the near to medium term. With the faster implementation of PLI scheme for battery manufacturing, government push can increase battery availability.
Big industrial conglomerates and foreign technology players are also planning to set up battery manufacturing plants, which can boost scale and reduce costs.
(ii) Deferred government spending on infrastructure
The large capex push by the government puts execution risk in different sectors. Since Cummins is related to these sectors for their power generation needs, slowdown in the sectors might impact its topline growth.
(iii) Slower global market demand
Slower-than-expected export growth is likely to result in below-expected margins. Stringent emissions norms in other countries may result in lower demand for HHP PowerGen engines and will require investments in new engines.
(iv) High competitive intensity:
The domestic PowerGen market is highly competitive with local players expanding the current portfolio and international players gaining market share. Global OEMs, as well as genset assemblers, are driving increased competition in exports markets.
(v) Rising raw material costs
Due to commodity price uprun seen over the past few quarters, the raw materials for CIL has gone up. In case there is a resistance from customers against price hikes, CIL will have to take margin cuts.
