Summary reproduced below. Consensus (including us) believes (and hopes) in ‘value creation story’ of TCPL, a 92% and 214% stock returns over 1 yr and 3 yrs is testimony. The phase of “Trust me” story is over. With TCPL’s FY22 valuations at a premium to Colgate, GCPL, Marico, it’s now a “Show me” story. Essential variables for incremental stock returns – Tata Tea (India) needs to sustain 6-8% volume growth via formalization, market share gains due to regionalization and premiumisation, Tata Salt volume growth needs to accelerate to 8% (from ~5% earlier). It generates lowest revenue/grammage among packaged food products in India and hence distribution was capped due to higher freight costs. Merger of distribution (mixed load) will help to reduce freight cost and leverage the brand potential (awareness > availability), Packaged staples incur additional cost of c.15% compared to loose products. Hence, Tata Sampann’s ability to recruit and retain consumers (in normal consumer behavior conditions post COVID) is crucial and Synergy benefits of a minimum of Rs2bn 2 Tata Consumer Products, August 9, 2020 ICICI Securities Induction of P.B. Balaji as Non-executive and Non-Independent director has strengthened the leadership of TCPL. He successfully drove efficiencies in supply chain and cost savings in his managerial tenure at HUL. Key highlight of his career was premiumization and expansion in profitability of detergents. We believe his expertise & experience in supply chain, finance and Beverage business will be helpful to TCPL. Balaji’s tenure in HUL An alumnus of IIT Chennai (1991) and IIM Calcutta (1993), he joined HUL in 1993. He worked in multiple senior management roles in Finance and Supply chain in India as well as globally. He was Executive Director of Finance & IT and CFO of Hindustan Unilever from Jul’2014 to Nov’2017.

European markets too rallied by 5-6% for the month of March. In India, the breadth was positive with the BSE Mid-cap and BSE Small-cap indices gaining by 1% and 2.5% respectively. Amongst sector indices, IT, FMCG, Metals outperformed while Oil & Gas, Bank and Auto underperformed during last month. While the month started on a positive note as 3QFY21 GDP grew at 0.4% after two quarters of contraction and expansion of the vaccination drive, a rapid spurt in Covid-19 cases, imposition of lockdowns, night curfews and other restrictions, weak macroeconomic data, elevated crude prices and jump in bond yield weighed on market sentiments. In its policy meeting the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged; it also mentioned that it does not currently expect to hike interest rates through 2023 and will maintain the current quantum of bond purchases. The policy rates remained at 0%-0.25% band and median estimate for unemployment rates are pegged at 4.5% end 2021 and 3.9% end 2022.

R. D. TATA Every company has a special continuing responsibility towards the people of the area in which it is located and in which its employees and their families live. In every city, town or village, large or small, there is always a need for improvement, for help, for relief, for leadership and for guidance. I suggest that the most significant contribution organized industry can make is by identifying itself with the life and problems of the people of the community to which it belongs and by applying its resources, skills and talents, to the extent that it can reasonably spare them to serve and help them. rd wo Fore As I write this foreword for the Annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report of Tata Motors for the year, my mind goes back to 1960, when a Sir Dorab Tata Scholarship of 60 rupees per month for six years allowed young Raghunath Mashelkar to undertake his higher education.
