Anand Rathi 's research report on Blue Star

Despite challenging times, Blue Star remains focused on shareholder value-creation courtesy its approach, which concentrated on increasing localisation of components and rationalising SKUs. This can aid in volume leverage leading to better profitability in UCP segment. The increase in localisation is in anticipation of a hike in customs duties for room-ACs and components. Its execution pace in projects, where it has robust `29.5bn order book would be driven by liquidity with clients as 20 project sites (of 150) have become operational. In the present circumstances, where the country is being divided into multiple zones, an all-India policy is not possible. Hence, sales are being monitored, zone-wise. Competition can turn keener in Jun’20 as channel partners would focus on reducing inventory to free capital employed for summer products.
