Tesla's potential entry into the Indian automotive market is contingent on launching a low-cost model, which is currently deemed unlikely due to high production costs and customs duties. The average price of cars in India is significantly lower than Tesla's expected pricing, limiting their market disruption potential. Mahindra, holding a substantial market share in the SUV segment, is identified as the most vulnerable OEM if Tesla introduces a competitively priced vehicle.

Tesla’s India entry – A non-starter without a low-cost model

Renewed fear of Tesla’s entry into India


24 FEBRUARY 2025
Securities Research Report There has been renewed news flow around Tesla’s (-) entry into India, along with an expectation of
Production time: 10:28* (London time) a lower-cost model that could disrupt the Indian Automotive sector. While we have seen such news
Research Analysts & Publishing Entities
previously as well, customer-facing job postings in India by Tesla make the news more credible.
Kumar Rakesh
BNP Paribas Securities India Private Tesla - A true low-cost model unlikely
Limited
(+91) 22 6196 4350
We expect Tesla's entry into India to be slow and measured, given the low average price point in
[email protected] the market. Tesla has plans to launch an affordable version of the M3/Y in 2H25, with management
Stuart Pearson, CFA guiding to a price of cUSD30k after IRA subsidies of EUR7.5k in the US, implying an ex-subsidy
BNP Paribas London Branch price of cUSD37.5k. Assuming Tesla can produce and sell at as low as USD30k, it will be
(+44) 203 430 8545 considered expensive for mass volume in India once 15% custom duties are considered. In our
[email protected]
view, local production won’t make sense unless Tesla can reduce the price to <USD30k to allow for
mass volumes in India. Tesla has also ended its true low-cost Model 2 efforts a year ago, with
focus shifting to Robotaxi and robotics plans. Tesla's plans for a new 'unboxed' assembly process
and plant in Mexico have also been shelved as a result. Hence, we it unlikely these plans will be
revived for India. Note that Musk has said that developing a cUSD25k car is pointless in a Robotaxi
world, as it will simply not be required (link). We expect Tesla to address India by exporting from
one of its existing plants. This would limit volumes to very low levels for the foreseeable future.

Recent correction in Mahindra looks overdone


India offers a c1m unit market opportunity for cars priced >USD23k. Among the OEMs most at risk
in that segment is Mahindra (c46% volume share). We do not see any material risk to MM from the
existing Tesla models and a new USD25k model is unlikely. We also believe Tesla launching a
locally manufactured model at <USD30k is unlikely. Post the recent correction, MM’s core Auto P/E
Fenil Jain^

is trading below that of MSIL and looks attractive to us. Recall, last year MM’s stock corrected by
services in the preparation of this report c9% in two weeks on fears of Tesla’s entry. However, the stock recovered swiftly post that.

We find the current models of Tesla to be too expensive for the Indian Automotive
market. Tesla’s models, after considering the likely reduced customs duty, would still
start at INR4.2m, well above cINR1.1m, which is the average price of models sold in

portfolio.

Indian market opportunity of c1m units but needs lower-priced models


The average price of cars sold in India is cNR1.1m or USD13k. We estimate
approximately 25% of the industry volume to be of models sold above the price of
USD23k, which would be the most at risk if Tesla launches a product below USD30k.
Hence, the estimate the Indian Automotive market offers c1m annual volume
opportunity at a price above USD23k. However, to capture this, the company will need
a lower-priced model, preferably one that is priced below cUSD30k and manufactured
locally.

Among Mahindra’s models, we see XUV7OO and its upcoming BEV models as the

manufactured model.

Indian government’s EV policy needs a localisation plan by OEMs


In March 2024, the Government of India announced a new EV policy under which the
customs duty is proposed to be reduced to 15% (from 110% at the time of policy
announcement). However, there are several riders to take advantage of this reduced
customs duty.

 Minimum investment required: INR41.5b (cUSD480m at current exchange


rate)
 Timeline for manufacturing: 3 years for setting up manufacturing facilities in
India, and to start commercial production of EVs, and reach 50% domestic
value addition (DVA) within 5 years at the maximum.
 Domestic value addition (DVA) during manufacturing: A localisation level of
25% by the third year and 50% by the fifth year.
 The customs duty of 15% on CKD units will be applicable on vehicles with a
minimum CIF value of USD35k and above for a total period of 5 years, subject
to the manufacturer setting up manufacturing facilities in India within a 3-year
period.
 Limitations on lower customs duty: A maximum of 40,000 EVs at the rate of
not more than 8,000 per year would be permissible if the investment is
USD800m or more.

Investment case, valuation and risks

Mahindra and Mahindra (Outperform, Target Price INR3,520)


Investment case
MM continues to see strong traction in new SUV models, with new monthly bookings
exceeding its billings. Also, the company's target capacity of 72k/month by end-FY26
offers significant volume growth upside. Through recent model launches, MM has
repositioned itself with a strong brand identity in the SUV space. While the slow
production ramp-up has been disappointing, we see MM's SUV portfolio to be among
the strongest in the industry. This should also help MM's BEV models as they are
launched in the coming years. Also, we expect MM's tractor model launches, to plug
gaps in its product portfolio, to drive continued tractor market share gain. We also see
material value-unlocking potential if MM's board decides to list auto and farm
businesses separately.

Valuation methodology
MM is a combination of a variety of businesses that have different cycles and demand
drivers. It is also a holding company of several listed and unlisted firms across sectors
such as technology, hospitality, financial services and real estate. We value its Farm
Equipment Segment (FES) at 21x Dec-26E EV/EBIT, which is similar to the current
one-year forward multiple of its peer Escorts. We now blend in EV volumes into our
Automotive business estimates. Accordingly, we value its automotive business (PV +
LCV) at 25x Dec-26E EV/EBIT, derived from assigning a 25% premium to our target
multiples for MSIL (PV proxy) and AL (LCV proxy). We value its equity holding in listed
subsidiaries by using latest market prices and applying a holding company discount of
20%.

Risks
To the upside:
Upside risks to our SoTP-based TP include: 1) Recovery in tractor demand, resulting in
a prolonged upcycle; 2) faster-than-expected production ramp-up, resulting in strong
revenue growth; and 3) material market-share gains, resulting from upcoming BEV
models.

To the downside:
Downside risks to our SoTP-based TP include: 1) Loss of market share in utility
vehicles; 2) aggressive market share gains by new LCV models from competitors; 3)
higher-than-expected impact of emission regulations; and 4) higher-than-expected
impact of commodity inflation.

Maruti Suzuki (Outperform, Target Price INR17,900)


Investment case
MSIL is known for its conservative approach to capacity addition. However, after
struggling the most among peers with supply constraints over the past two years,
which also exacerbated its market share loss, MSIL is bouncing back with an
aggressive production ramp-up plan. It aims for a 9% capacity CAGR over the next
seven years - 2x the rate of the past seven years. MSIL's solid execution in the SUV
segment should boost investors' confidence about the sustainability of its leadership
in the Indian PV industry. We derive comfort from MSIL's aggressive capacity
expansion and model launch plans, which give us long-term earnings growth visibility.
MSIL is trading more than 1SD below its past 10-year mean NTM P/E, which looks
attractive to us given the potential for market-share recovery, premiumisation and
margin expansion.

Valuation methodology
Unlike most of its automotive peers, MSIL has a single business operation. We value
MSIL at 29x P/E applied to Dec-26E EPS. Our target multiple is set at a discount to the
past five-year mean NTM P/E (based on Bloomberg consensus estimates), as we

BNP Paribas Exane Research India Electric Vehicles 24 FEBRUARY 2025 page 7

[email protected] Vedant Karnatak 05/13/25 12:28:48 PM Ernst & Young.


expect the company's volume growth to be similar to long-term averages.

Risks
To the upside:
Key upside risks to our P/E-based TP include: 1) Tax benefits for hybrid vehicles
resulting in a material reduction in the prices of MSIL's hybrid models, thus creating a
significant competitive advantage for MSIL as most peers do not possess the
technology; 2) recovery in entry segment demand, driven by rural recovery; and 3)
tightening of emission regulations, resulting in higher pressure on peers.

To the downside:
Key downside risks to our P/E-based TP include: 1) Any incremental supply
constraints; 2) a higher-than-expected impact of commodity inflation; 3) a significant
increase in competitive pressure from peers; 4) failure of new model launches; and 5)
any regulatory changes, such as mandatory six airbags, which materially increase the
cost of the vehicle or make some of the models unviable.

Tata Motors (Outperform, Target Price INR935)


Investment case
JLR is now pivoting to become a modern luxury brand. We think the strategy, if
successful, could offer upside to our margin and FCF expectations, as the JLR
turnaround is the most audacious strategic step by the company, which should offer
material long-term upside. In its domestic business, TTMT aims to expand its PV
market share further through: 1) model launches and refreshes; 2) front-end re-
imagination; and 3) expanding the addressable market for EVs. We continue to see
TTMT going through consolidation in 2025 and the stock lacking positive catalysts.
However, attractive FCF yield and JLR's potential of getting closer to its FY26
guidance keep us interested in TTMT's equity story.

Valuation methodology
TTMT has a diverse set of businesses that are at various stages of capex and have
different accounting policies than peers. Hence, we think a blended valuation method
taking the average of EV/sales, EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT and P/E valuations normalises
the impacts of these idiosyncrasies. TTMT's earnings are split into JLR, China JV, CV,
PV, and India EV businesses. Our target valuation multiples for JLR are set by
benchmarking to valuation multiples of BMW and Mercedes Benz. For the China JV,
we use the valuation multiples of Brilliance China Automotive as the benchmark. Our
target multiples for CV are similar to those of AL and for PV. It is at 50% discount to our
target multiple for MSIL, as TTMT's PV business margins reach the industry average.
We value its India EV business at the average of the valuation range of the last funding
round, taken with a 30% discount to factor in the correction in global EV peers'
valuation since then. The company also has various subsidiaries and investments,
which we value at a 30% holding company discount to the latest market price, where
available, or at multiples similar to those of listed peers.

Risks
To the upside:
Key upside risks to our SoTP-based target price include: 1) Strong customer
acceptance of new JLR model launches; 2) prolonged mix and pricing benefits,
resulting in strong margins and FCF at JLR; 3) longer-than-expected CV upcycle; and
4) strong pricing discipline, leading to higher-than-expected margin expansion in CVs.

To the downside:
Key downside risks to our SoTP-based target price include: 1) A sharp increase in
interest rates; 2) a fall in consumer confidence across key markets; 3) strict lockdowns,
resulting in economic impact; 4) a further sharp increase in commodity prices; 5) any
trade tariffs between the UK and key markets; and 6) a significant loss of market share
due to the poor traction of JLR's EV models.

Tesla (Underperform, Target Price USD157)
Investment case
Tesla may be the victim of its own ambition in our view, with its insatiable appetite for
growth leaving the company with more on its plate - and more in consensus
expectations - than it is able to execute on successfully in our view. With an ageing
product range, we see material downside to consensus estimates. We are also
sceptical regarding the firm's software opportunity, where it has consistently missed
self-driving targets, and is essentially still focused on a Level-2 camera-based
system. The path to Robotaxi deployment will also likely be a long and uncertain one,
with significant cash burn on the way. We thus struggle to justify the valuation that
bulls see and rate the stock at Underperform.

Valuation methodology
We use a SOP based valuation for Tesla consisting of the following components: (i)
Core autos (incl. FSD), which we value using a DCF approach through to 2030e, using
a 7% WACC and 2.5% terminal growth; (ii) Energy storage, which we value using
clean energy peer multiples; (iii) Robotaxi, for which we use a DCF model running out
to 2040e, using a 9% WACC and 5% terminal growth; (iv) Robotics, which we value
using capital goods peers multiples. We do not attribute separate value for batteries, as
Tesla is only supplying a few percent of its own battery needs, and we do not see it
becoming a 3rd party supplier within our forecast horizon.

Risks
To the upside:
Key upside risks include (i) a faster ramp up of more affordable BEV Models; (ii) higher
licensing royalties of FSD to other OEMs; (iii) swifter execution on Robotaxi plans; and
(iv) increasing profits in the energy storage and services businesses.

To the downside:
Key downside risks include (i) execution risk on the Mexican factory start-up and Model
2/Q ramp; (ii) saturated demand for EVs; (iii) reduced subsidies for EVs; (iv)
governance related risks associated with Tesla's CEO's public statements and
management style; and (v) broader macro-economic risks that could derail demand,
thus undermining FCF and liquidity. Tesla is also exposed to geopolitical trade risks
given its exports of vehicles from China and dependence on a global - but China
dominated - battery supply chain.

Explanation of Research Ratings
Rating System
Our coverage analysts use a rating system in which they rate stocks as Outperform, Neutral, or Underperform (as defined below) relative to other
companies covered by the analyst or the analyst’s team, over a 12-month investment horizon.
Prior to 23 September 2024, BNPP ratings were relative ratings defined against the performance of the relevant MSCI sector index, at either the country or
regional level over a 12-month investment horizon.
Outperform (O/P): The stock is expected to outperform the average total return of all companies covered by the analyst or the analyst’s team, over a 12-
month investment horizon.
Neutral: The stock is expected to perform in line with the average total return of all companies covered by the analyst or the analyst’s team, over a 12-
month investment horizon.
Underperform (U/P): The stock is expected to underperform the average total return of all companies covered by the analyst or the analyst’s team, over a
12-month investment horizon.
Under review: The rating of the stock has been placed under review after significant news. Any possible change will be confirmed as soon as possible in
the form of a new broadly disseminated report.
Restricted (RS): The stock is covered by BNPP but there is no Rating and no Target Price because BNPP is involved in an equity capital market/ merger
and acquisition transaction relating to the subject company.
Not Rated (NR): The stock is covered by BNPP but there is no Rating and no Target Price at this time.
Not Covered (NC): BNPP does not cover this company.
ESG Rating Explanation and Methodology
ESG integration methodology: The BNP Paribas approach offers an alternative to mechanistic ESG scores and leverages the in-depth knowledge of
our industry equity research teams by combining quantitative and qualitative factors. There are three steps to our framework; firstly, our teams build a
materiality map to assess which ESG topics are most relevant to their respective industries. Secondly, for the chosen topics, companies are assessed
relative to sector peers. The assessment can be based on metrics and qualitative judgements. Each company is given a one to five score per topic, with
five being the best. Thirdly, based on the topic scores, and any other significant ESG factors, we identify companies in the sector as ESG Leaders, ESG
Laggards or ESG Average. The definition of the ratings is shown below: they are not based on the average topic score as some topic scores can be more
material than others.
ESG Leader: Relative to sector peers an ESG Leader is better positioned on the chosen ESG topics, or other relevant ESG considerations.
ESG Average: A company rated as ESG Average may have strong or poor performance on an individual ESG topic, but overall has an average exposure
to ESG risks and opportunities.
ESG Laggard: Relative to sector peers an ESG Laggard is poorly positioned on the chosen ESG topics, or other relevant ESG considerations for the
stock.
Distribution of BNP Paribas’ Equity Recommendations
As at 01 January 2025 BNP Paribas covered 1054 companies. The companies that, for regulatory reasons, are not accorded a rating by BNPP are
excluded from these statistics. For regulatory reasons, our ratings of Outperform, Neutral and Underperform correspond respectively to Buy, Hold and
Sell; the underlying signification is, however, different as our ratings are relative to the sector.

General Information
This report including embedded Research Reports is for the use of intended recipients only and may not be reproduced (in whole or in part) or
delivered or transmitted to any other person without our prior written consent. By accepting this report, the recipient agrees to be bound by the
terms and limitations set forth herein. This report does not constitute a personal recommendation or take into account the particular investment
objectives, financial situations, or needs of individual recipients. Recipients are advised to use the information contained herein as just one of
many inputs and considerations prior to engaging in any trading activity and to seek advice from a financial advisor, taking into account their
specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs, prior to committing to purchase any investment product. This report does not
constitute a prospectus or other offering document or an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any securities or other investments. This report is not
intended to provide the sole basis of any evaluation of the subject securities and companies mentioned in this report. Information and opinions
contained in this report are published for reference of the recipients and are not to be relied upon as authoritative or without the recipient’s own
independent verification, or taken in substitution for the exercise of judgment by the recipient. Additionally, the products mentioned in this report
may not be available for sale in certain jurisdictions.
All information contained in this research report and any attached reports has been compiled from sources believed to be reliable. However, no
representation or warranty, express or implied, is made with respect to the completeness or accuracy of its contents, and it is not to be relied upon
as such. Opinions contained in this research report represent BNPP’s current opinions on the date of the report only. BNPP is not soliciting an
action based upon it, and under no circumstances is it to be used or considered as an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy.
While BNPP endeavours to update its research reports from time to time, there may be legal and/or other reasons why BNPP cannot do so and,
accordingly, BNPP disclaims any obligation to do so.
BNPP does, and seeks to do, business with companies covered in its research reports, and expects to receive or intends to seek compensation
from such companies. Investors should be aware that BNPP may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors
should consider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision. In the normal course of its business, BNPP, as well as its
directors, officers and affiliates may have financial or other interests in securities issued by the subject company/ies or the subject company itself
that may include ownership of such securities (including derivatives in respect of such securities on market terms), commissions or other
compensation in connection with trades in such securities, and financial arrangements in respect of such securities including with underwriters or
other persons or companies with interests in such securities.
This report is provided solely for the information of professional/wholesale investors who are expected to make their own investment decisions
without undue reliance on this report and BNPP accepts no liability whatsoever for any direct or consequential loss arising from any use of this
report or its contents.
Investing in non-U.S. securities, including the ADRs of such securities, may involve certain risks. The securities of non-U.S. issuers may not be
registered with, nor be subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There may be limited information
available on non-U.S. securities. Non-U.S. companies are generally not subject to uniform audit and reporting standards, practices, and
requirements comparable to those in the U.S. The securities of some non-U.S. companies may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than
securities of comparable U.S. companies. In addition, exchange rate movements may have an adverse effect on the value of an investment in a
non-U.S. stock and its corresponding dividend payment for U.S. investors. If a financial instrument is denominated in a currency other than the
investor's home currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the price of, value of, or income derived from the financial instrument
described in this report. In addition, investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are affected by the currency of the underlying security,
effectively assume currency risk.
As an investment bank with a wide range of activities, BNPP may face conflicts of interest, which are managed under applicable legal provisions
and internal policies and guidelines. You should be aware that BNPP may engage in transactions in a manner inconsistent with the views
expressed in this document, either for its own account or for the account of its clients.
Other businesses within BNPP may have issued other publications that may or may not be consistent with the views expressed in this report.
In the normal course of its business, BNPP as well as its directors, officers and affiliates may have financial or other interests in securities issued
by the subject company/ies or the subject company itself that may include ownership of such securities (including derivatives in respect of such
securities on market terms), commissions or other compensation in connection with trades in such securities, and financial arrangements in
respect of such securities including with underwriters or other persons or companies with interests in such securities.
