Manish with due regard to the market I am perplexed why this stock ran up yesterday. there was nothing new in the interview and since I knew most of it I am sure you would have since you have been a keen follower of this company.So the stock price should have discounted all this before the interview.

But that is how markets behave.

For the September quarter Amarraja reported stunning numbers sales increased by 51.63% to Rs 132.02 crores from rs 87.07 crores while net profits increased 177.51% to Rs 12.71 crores from Rs 4.58 crores. There was an expansion in operating margins by 166 basis points to 16.77%.
 
The company seems to have entered a new growth orbit and as the benefits of increased capacity rolls in the numbers should continue to move in this trend over the next few quarters.

The way company is going, it is not impossible to pass Exide in 5 years. Amararaja started getting OEM orders only last year. Those batteries would come for replacement in 2 years and that is going to get bigger. People are more likely to replace battery with the same brand. Their concept of pit stop is great. They also dont have much debt so growing is not a problem for them.

AmaraRaja has got huge market share in Telecom Idustry. Every cell site provides 2 to 4 hours of battery backup to provide power in case of electricity failure. The replacement cycle here is about 2 years. They have been lead supplier to this indusrtry since 1998-99.
 
Also there is a huge expansion going on in Mobile communication industry. Every operator is planning to increase cell sites by almost double in next 12 months.
 
Also there is a big tender coming up under UOF i.e. universal obligation fund which is suppose to provide subsidy for rolling out about 8000 sites in the villages where there are no means of communication. Tender is likely to be out very soon.
 
Each of this site is suppose to be built by infrastructure provider under tender. they can be likes of any of the existing operator/ gil infra/ american towers/ essar group etc. However, the same site infra will be shared by minimum of three operators.
 
Each of this site will require huge amount of battery back up as the power situations at these places is likely to be horrible. Also the capacity of battery bank is going to be high as they have to support three operators.
 
The only word of caution is the margin may be low as this will be bulk supplies to the infrastructure builder.
 
AmaraRaja is going to benefit a lot. the second company is going to be HBL, though their market share till date is not very high.

Sandeep,
Answer to you question is lead prices.
 
 
 
 
In 3 months lead prices can even spike as there is not enough stockpile. But I am not worried much as lead batteries dont have substitute.

The promoters of Amara Raja batteries, Johnson Controls, has a wonderful pedigree. This Company, Johnson Controls has continuously increased dividend pay-out for 30 years... the EPS has increased for more than 50 years straight. I beleive, this is one stock, which is wonderful multi-bagger. They will also enter into Car interiors and upholstery in some time, given that it is one of the major business segments of Johnson Controls. They are already into power systems... this division will add feather to their cap.
