We initiate coverage on Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (M&M) as a BUY with a Price Objective of `975. At CMP of `727, the stock is trading at 16.2x and 14.1x its estimated earnings for FY13 & FY14 respectively, representing a potential upside of ~34% over a period of 15 months. UV sales (XUV500 and Xylo) and LCVs (Maximmo, Genio and Gio) are expected to be the key drivers of growth, while the tractor business is expected to weather the cyclical downturn and experience moderate traction. In addition the tangible benefits of the Ssangyong acquisition would be felt over the medium term as the joint R&D efforts and new product launches materialize. We forecast revenues and earnings to grow at a CAGR of 15.6% and 10.7% to `40,062.3 and `3,169.7 crore, respectively over FY12-14.
 XUV 500 and refurbished Xylo to sustain volume growth in the UV segment
After having witnessed a CAGR of 23% over FY09-12, M&M UV sales are expected to moderate going ahead on account of new launches by competitors, rising fuel prices and higher interest rates. We expect M&M UV sales to post a CAGR of 13.2% over FY12-14 to ~2,60,000 units led by capacity ramp up of XUV 500 and strong demand for its existing products.
 Weathering the cyclical downturn in tractor sales
The tractor industry being cyclical in nature has been witnessing a downturn since November 2011, after posting robust growth in the preceding two years. We expect this moderation in growth to continue in the near term led by a host of new capacity additions which will affect pricing power, expectation of an unfavorable monsoon and rising interest rates, which would affect serviceability of tractor loans. However, favorable factors like increasing budgetary allocation towards the rural sector, rising non-farm usage, higher MSP among others are likely to partially offset the downturn. While CMIE expects the volumes to grow by 8% for the entire industry, we are less optimistic and expect much lower growth of ~6%. However, southern India which is under penetrated is expected to grow much faster than the industry growth. On the back drop of its new facility of 1,00,000 units p.a. being commissioned at Zaheerabad in Karnataka, we expect M&M the market leader to grow faster than the industry.

We expect M&M (market leader with a share of ~40%) to post a CAGR of 7.5% over FY12-14 to reach ~2,72,000 units by FY14 and consequently revenues from this segment are expected to reach ~`11,500 crore by FY14 (CAGR of 8.6%). However, we expect significant pressure on margins led by higher raw material costs and lack of pricing power given the large capacity expansions across the industry.
 LCV growth momentum to continue
Despite being a late entrant in the commercial vehicles (CV) market, M&M has carved for itself an enviable market share of ~30% in a relatively short span of time. Although the growth in the LCV markets is expected to tone down to a CAGR of 14% (from a 3 year CAGR of 32.9% over FY09-11), we expect M&M to outperform th
