Valuation

India is the largest producer and consumer of milk globally. In FY20, it contributed ~30% of the total milk production. The Indian dairy market industry has grown at a CAGR of ~10% between FY15-20 to reach Rs 6.7Tn. This growth was largely led by a 6-7% increase in volumes and a 3-4% increase in price realizations. Going forward, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10-11% between FY21-25 largely driven by rising urban population, the rapid nuclearization of the middle class, the rising importance of milk as a source of proteins, changing consumer pattern and increasing demand for value added products from Quick service restaurant and Hotel, Restaurant and Catering (HORECA) segment will further aid growth. Further, amongst the products, value-added products such as flavored milk, ice cream, yoghurt, cheese and whey, is expected to grow at ~14-16% in FY21-25 and outpaced other products such as milk (will grow at 6-8%) and traditional value-added products (will grow at 10-12%).

Dodla Dairy’s integrated business model provides end-to-end solutions such as procurement, processing and distribution & marketing in a cost-efficient manner. Further, it has maintained long term relationships with farmers as well as customers. So, on one side, they provide strong support to farmers while on the other hand, it fulfills customers demand by providing a diversified product portfolio. Also, the company’s finances are growing at a steady pace. Going forward, it has plans to introduce more value-added products, expand into new markets and look for organic/inorganic growth, invest in modern technology to improve milk procurement as well as operating efficiency. We have a positive view on the company from the long term perspective. 

 

Key Risk:

* High competition in the dairy industry.

* Milk is the only raw material so lower procurement may impact business
