If GST Rate Cut, Inelastic to Demand and Minimal Impact on Top-Line
“Prices are likely to remain soft during the monsoon season, while any price hike announcements/attempts ahead of the GST rate cut have limited chances of implementation or sustainability due to close monitoring by the CCI. The GST rate cut is primarily intended to provide comfort to consumers, though companies may attempt to benefit from it. However, consumer acceptance and CCI scrutiny are likely to be hurdles. A GST rate cut from 28% to 18% implies an impact of ~Rs30/bag on billing price, which will not hamper companies’ top line. Moreover, the rate cut is inelastic to cement demand. The only likely shift will be consumers opting for better quality and branded products at the same billing price (ex-GST). Demand remains weak and is expected to be softer than Q2FY25 due to heavy rains, sluggish demand, and intensifying competition. A marginal uptick in demand may be expected from Q3FY26 onwards. On the cost front, stable diesel prices and softer coal prices are likely to provide some respite, though elevated pet-coke prices may offset these gains. Companies with higher usage of green energy will continue to enjoy cost tailwinds,” Yes Securities said in a note.
