Electronics Retail: Expanding Footprint to drive growth

Consumers have adopted Ecommerce differently across different categories; E-commerce share for Mobiles stands at 58% but for large household appliances, it is only 17%. In the latter, consumers prefer to go to a physical store to check out the look and feel of the product, discuss warranty and exchange, get priority on installation and so on. In recent times, there is a bit of reverse migration from e-commerce to brick-and-mortar stores in mobiles as well. Analysts of IIFL Securities believe that brick-and-mortar organised retail would still grow at ~14% even allowing for some share loss to online platforms.

Utilities: Government gets gas IPPs under S/11

The scheme if extended for FY25, apart from gas IPPs, can also benefit gas importing / trading companies; assuming PLFs to increase to 30% (vs 14% in FY24), India would need to import additional ~5m MT LNG (25% more); GAIL (transmission + trading), PLNG (imports/trade) can materially gain from such imports; for every 1m MT incremental LNG imported, GAIL/PLNG may see 5-10% EPS upgrade; IEX may also gain from higher exchange volumes.
