Economic recovery continues with cases falling. December 2020 MTD electricity consumption was higher than December 2019 and December 2018 electricity consumption. Import duty collections and property registrations have both been extremely strong in December. Cars and two-wheeler registrations in the first ten days of December were higher than in November. The number of new cases continued to fall and test-positive rate also fell below 3%.

Further decline in active cases; new strain raises concerns

The number of new cases, the number of daily deaths and the positive rate all came down significantly during the seven-day period ending December 23 (Exhibit 49). A lot of major cities saw a significant decline in the number of new cases over the past seven days (Exhibit 65). A Anurag Singh new strain of the virus, supposedly more transmissible, has been held responsible for a sharp increase in cases in United Kingdom and there are concerns that it may have already reached India. So far, we haven’t observed an increase in the number of new cases in any of the states. The case fatality rate due to Covid-19 continues to remain close to 1.5% (Exhibit 71) and it remains lower compared to many other countries (Exhibit 69). We also show the extent of vaccinations in countries that have already started to vaccinate their citizens (Exhibit 72). [email protected] Contact: +91 22 6218 6427

THE RECOVERY STORY CONTINUES KIE’s Covid-19 Tracker assesses the economic recovery through certain high-frequency indicators. We find that (1) electricity consumption over past seven days was 3% higher when compared to a similar period in the previous year; (2) daily average e-waybills generated in the third week of December was higher than the November daily average, (3) Railway freight volume is up sequentially and yoy in December so far and (4) import duty collections have been extremely strong in December.

Steady improvement in most indicators

We track a set of indicators as a proxy for economic activity.

 Road traffic. Road traffic remains lower than 2019 levels. This data is available for four Indian cities – , New Delhi, Bengaluru and Pune (Exhibits 2-5). The week-on-week change in congestion level was flat to marginally up for the four cities we track. We also track the number of e-waybills generated (Exhibit 7). This is available on a weekly basis and is a proxy for the movement of goods across the country. The daily average of number of e-waybills generated in November was lower than the daily average of October. However, this indicator increased in the first three weeks of December.

 Civil aviation data. We track the number of domestic departures and the passengers carried (Exhibit 6). The number of daily domestic departures has increased to close to 2,000 now. For comparison, the pre-Covid daily average was close to 3,000. The pace of improvement has quickened over the past two weeks. The number of passengers on flights was close to ~250,000, as against pre-Covid figure of 400,000. This compares with close to 500 daily departures and 40,000 passengers per day at the restart of domestic aviation at the end of May.

 Electricity consumption. Covid-19 forced a prolonged lockdown and temporary shutting down of factories. This, in turn, led to lower electricity consumption. We show the daily electricity consumption of major states (Exhibits 36-48) in India and compare this with consumption in the same week of CY2019. Electricity consumption in India, over the seven day period ending December 23, was 3% higher than the electricity consumption in the similar period in 2019. The daily average consumption in December 2020 MTD is 3.5% higher than December 2019 daily average consumption and 2.6% higher than December 2018 daily consumption. Six out of ten states we track saw higher electricity consumption in the past week compared to a similar period in the previous year. We do note however that the state-level electricity consumption gaps are quite volatile and may change dramatically from one week to next.

 Payment data. We use payment data released by RBI and National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI). Specifically, we track UPI, IMPS and NETC FASTag transaction values. Daily average UPI and IMPS transaction values recorded an all-time high in November and continued to increase in December. NETC transactions are above pre-Covid levels and at an all-time-high (Exhibits 33-34). Also, we note that some of the UPI/IMPS transactions may be in lieu of cash payments (as people avoid handling cash used by others) and may not reflect more total spending by consumers.

 Real estate and vehicle purchases. We track the number of property sales registered in Maharashtra and the daily number of vehicles registered in Regional Transport Offices under the Vahan4 umbrella (Exhibits 14-17). The daily average of property registrations in Maharashtra in December MTD is much higher than the daily average of FY2020. Daily average cars, goods carriers and two-wheeler registrations were up in first ten days of December, when compared to the daily average in October and November. For November, on a yoy basis however, two-wheeler registrations were down ~20%, while car registrations were up 5% yoy. Goods vehicle registration continued to see a negative yoy change, while agri-vehicle registrations saw positive yoy change in November 2020.

 Railway/Ports data. We show daily average metric tons of freight carried by Indian railways as a proxy of goods movement in India. We also show the year-on-year change in the freight load for major commodities (Exhibits 8-9). Railway freight volume has been up both sequentially and on yoy basis in December. We also show the volume of traffic at major ports and the change in volume for major commodities (Exhibits 10-12). Container volume decreased on a month-on-month basis at JNPT; but was up yoy in November. The volume at Paradip port increased with substantial increases in coal and iron ore volumes. Many major ports saw an improvement of yoy volume change during October.

 Employment and business sentiment. Covid-19 has led to hiring freezes as well as involuntary attrition in certain industries. We show the yoy and mom change in the number of new job postings on Naukri.com (Exhibits 17 and 18) and those collated by Monster.com (Exhibit 19). The hospitality industry continues to remain worst affected industry as of November. The mom change in number of new job postings was also negative for many industries. We also show estimated nation-wide unemployment level based on CMIE survey (Exhibit 21). The unemployment level estimated by CMIE is close to 10%.

 Movement of people. We use Google mobility reports to track the change in the time spent by people at their residences and number of visits to workplaces, retail/recreational places and grocery/pharma stores compared against the pre-Covid baseline (Exhibits 23- 31). The week-on-week change in mobility trends was flat to positive. The recovery in metro cities continues to lag the broader recovery for excess time spent at residential areas and excess visits to workplaces and retail/recreational places. We also compare recovery in mobility in India to the same in a select set of countries. With the new set of lockdowns in Europe, India’s recovery towards normalcy is now relatively better.

 Import duty collection. We also monitor external trade by comparing the import duty collected in the current period against the import duty collected during the same period in FY2020 (Exhibit 22). Daily average import duty collected has been extremely strong so far in December.

 Petroleum product consumption. Petroleum consumption is another proxy of economic activity. We track this using data released by Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC). Monthly data (Exhibits 34-35) shows that consumption of motor spirit (petroleum) in June was already back to March 2020 consumption level. Petrol and diesel consumption increased month-on-month in November. The yoy change in petrol consumption was positive, while for diesel, it was negative.

Most of the indicators above show that economic activity is still below the pre-Covid period (Exhibit 1). As evidence from other countries suggests, the road to recovery will not be a straight line, especially as long as the daily case count continues to increase.

Exhibit 7 shows the daily average e-waybills generated. E-waybills are needed to transport goods of value over Rs50,000. For the months prior to June 2020, we divide the number of monthly e-waybills generated by 30 to estimate the average daily number of e-waybills generated. From June 2020, we divide the weekly data by 7 to get the average daily e- waybills generated for the week.

The number of average daily e-waybills generated fell down slightly in March 2020, and sharply in April 2020 demonstrating the effect of the lockdown. With the relaxations in lockdown effective from May 4, we see that the average daily e-waybills generated have been rising on a week-on-week basis.

The seven-day compounded growth rate of confirmed cases has been broadly falling since the announcement of lockdown (Exhibit 56). However, at this juncture, we believe that absolute numbers are a better metric to track than growth rates.

Exhibit 57 shows the growth in the number of cases in India compared to the same in other countries. We show the data from the day the end-of-day count of cases exceeded 30. The vertical axis is log-scaled. The horizontal axis is the number of days since the end-of-day count exceeded 30.

The slope of each country’s curve tells us how fast the number of cases is increasing in that country.

State-wise trends

We also look at the state-wise data to check the distribution of Covid-19 cases in India (Exhibit 59). Some of the states are more heavily affected compared to other states. We show the change in the number of new cases for two representative states in Exhibits 60 and 61.

We also show the districts with the highest percentage increase in the number of new cases (Exhibit 63) and the districts with the highest absolute increase in the number of new cases (Exhibit 64). In both these cases, we only show districts where the seven-day moving average of cases a week back was more than 50.

To understand which districts are succeeding in controlling the outbreak, we also show the districts with the largest absolute week-on-week decrease in the number of new cases (Exhibit 65).

Over a period of time, the distribution of new cases has changed from being limited to largely urban districts to more cases in rural districts. In Exhibit 66, we show the new cases in rural districts as a proportion of new cases.

We also show a time series of number of states where new confirmed cases, as of a given day, are above the seven-day moving average of new confirmed cases in that state (Exhibit

32 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Strategy India

67). This gives an idea of the number of states where the number of new confirmed cases continues to rise. We do a similar analysis with number of districts in Exhibit 68.

The mortality rate of Covid-19 varies significantly in different states within India and in countries across the world. Exhibits 69 and 70 compare the mortality rate for a few states in India, versus a set of selected countries.

Finally, we show that the case fatality rate (measured as number of deaths divided by total number of confirmed cases) and the implied mortality rate (number of deaths divided by number of closed cases) have been slowly nudging downwards, except for the one-time addition of deaths in Maharashtra and Delhi (Exhibit 71).

Majority of India’s urban population has limited access to long-distance air-conditioned travel

The well covered 1 mn+ population cities - The recently released National Rail Plan shares revealing data– the majority of air conditioned rail travel is limited to the top ~50 cities in India cities with population in excess of 1 mn. These cities house ~14% of India’s overall population and ~40% of India’s urban population. Within this subset, long-distance air-conditioned travel (air+rail) is equivalent to ~1.3 journeys per capita and air travel is ~1.5X as prevalent as rail travel. There are select pockets where air travel is yet to arrive at (Dhanbad, Meerut).

The remaining 60% of urban population – Within this subset of long-distance air- conditioned travel (air+rail) is equivalent to ~0.5 journeys per capita, mostly through rail. The regional connectivity scheme for air travel has led to select surprises so far in Jharsuguda, Hubli and Kannur. The big surprise came recently from Bihar, with its six-largest city in Darbhanga gaining prominence in its first month of operation with just three routes. This has been followed by the launch of more routes and requests from the state government for converting it into an international airport. The planned high-speed rail corridors, the other ray of hope for this subset (1) will be high on capex, (2) would require large quantum of patient and low-cost capital and (3) would unlikely have a material impact on air volumes over the next fifteen years.

We increase multiple by 1X to factor in contribution to growth from new airports

We now ascribe a 16X multiple (from 15X) to Indigo’s prospects to grow its domestic business at 13% revenue CAGR as we build in (1) 2% contribution from new airports, (2) 3% from existing airports beyond the six key airports and (3) 8% base growth. Within our 17X multiple, 1X contribution relates to prospects of increasing relevance of high-margin international travel. Aditya Mongia

Upside risks to our volume estimates emanate from guidance of swifter recovery Teena Virmani In his recent interview, Indigo’s CEO shared expectations of its domestic volumes returning to pre-Covid levels by Jan-Feb 2021 and international volumes by December 2021. This is swifter versus our March 2022 timeline for recovery to pre-Covid levels of demand for Indigo. We also note upside risk from higher instances of leisure travel by urban passengers having the option to combine work on the go with longer periods in the week with no office travel.

Recovering but could lag expectations. RBI’s bank lending survey and TransUnion CIBIL’s latest report shows that growth is gradually recovering. Inquiries have picked up in select segments, but approval rates remained lower than pre-Covid level. The current progress on loans suggests loan growth is likely to be slower than what is expected by market participants. Early delinquencies have jumped in credit cards.

Improved expectations of demand environment, yet to reflect in system loan growth

Updates from the RBI and CIBIL Transunion point towards the following: (a) Improved expectations of loan demand based on loan officer survey, (b) Survey indicates easing of loan QUICK NUMBERS terms and conditions, and (c) Improving loan inquiry levels, albeit below pre-Covid levels.  Inquiry volumes Having said that, system loan growth has remained in the ~5% yoy growth range. ~7% below yoy Retail loan demand – still some distance away from normalization levels in November 2020 The following are key takeaways from the recently published CIBIL report on consumer lending. (1) Retail loan growth held up better for PSU banks (up ~15% yoy) as of August 2020, while  Personal loan and private banks witnessed a much lower growth of 6% yoy. NBFC retail credit balances were credit card down ~9% yoy (Exhibit 2). (2) LAP credit shrunk meaningfully on a yoy basis in August 2020, origination volumes while some other categories like credit cards, auto loans and home loans have held up better down >40% yoy in (Exhibit 3). (3) Loan inquiries have recovered to year ago level in November 2020 (Exhibit 6) for August 2020 all segments except personal loans (down ~43% yoy). Loan inquiries recovered the earliest (by June 2020) for PSU banks (Exhibit 5).  30+ DPD on credit Lender risk appetite is improving, but focus remains on secured products cards doubled to 7.6% in August Growth rate in loan origination volumes has been highest for home loan segment (Exhibit 8). 2020 from 3.8% in Personal loans segment has witnessed a steep fall in loan origination volumes. NTC loan May 2020 origination had taken a hit in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, but is now trending back to pre-Covid level. (5) Loan approval rates had recovered to pre-Covid level of ~44% for PSU banks by August 2020 (Exhibit 9). Approval for credit cards, home loans and LAP were below pre-Covid level even in August 2020 (Exhibit 11). (6) The subdued credit environment has resulted in a blow to retail credit penetration – growth rate of credit active customers has slumped from ~22% in August 2019 to <6% in August 2020 (Exhibit 12). M B Mahesh, CFA Delinquencies – picture still not clear, but early stress visible in credit cards Nischint Chawathe 30+ DPD delinquencies in credit cards doubled to 7.6% in August 2020 from 3.8% in August 2020 (Exhibit 13). 90+ DPD for credit cards also increased meaningfully from 1.5% to 2.3% over the same period (Exhibit 14). ‘Roll-back + cure rate’ showed improvement in August across Abhijeet Sakhare all segments indicating that borrowers had begun making repayments during the moratorium period (Exhibit 17). Ashlesh Sonje

Bank lending survey – key findings Dipanjan Ghosh RBI’s survey of bank credit officers, covering top-30 banks and 90% of credit indicates: (a) expectations of higher credit demand in retail/agri segments followed by manufacturing and service, (b) expectation of further easing of loan terms and conditions (i.e. spreads, collateral, covenants, etc.), (c) historical record suggests projections of growth have been over-optimistic but are able to capture trend change.
