Gains in developing areas such as China and India will result from investment in water infrastructure and electricity generation.In developed areas, growth will be driven by process manufacturing.Growing urbanization,irregular rainfall and depleting ground water levels augur well for the pump industry.India's agriculture accounts for around 14% of its GDP and employs majority of the people.The Govt has taken various initiatives to improve the agri business thereby reducing the growing food inflation rate.Demands for food grains and ground water for irrigation will drive the demand for the pump industry in our country in the near future.

This it believes will help the company to serve farmers better as they will now opt for what is required and not what is necessarily offered to them.

Margin of safety:The company trades at just 5 PE(forward earnings) vs industry PE of 15.Its one of the largest player in its segment.Five year((from 2009 to 2014)CAGR of Sales and profits at 22% and 26% respectively.Sales went up from 107crs to 292crs,PAT galloped to 25crs from just around 8crs in the same period.Stock market loves consistent players and treat them with premium valuations.The investor friendly company rewarded shareholders with a 1 for 1 bonus issue in the year 2011 which speaks about the confidence and conviction of the management.Promoter owns around 45% stake in the company as on date.ROE and ROCE of over 15% and 20% respectively.

Concerns:Chinese competition remains the main concern but the superior quality and competitive price of the company's product will ensure it always remains in the reckoning.

Conclusion:It is investing aggressively for strengthening product mix with value added pumps to cater growing international and domestic market.About 67% of revenues comes from export and remaining 33% from Indian market.On a consolidated basis, Shakti Pumps India's net profit rose 48.5% to Rs 24.98 crore on 39.9% increase in net sales to Rs 292.09 crore in the year ended 31 March 2014 over the year ended 31 March 2013.Now the company targets sales of Rs 400 crore plus including exports of 250crs and PAT of Rs 42-45 crore for FY 2015(with 21-22% EBITDA margins).That should result into an EPS of 29rs for fy15.The company presently quotes at a very attractive valuation of just 5 times its expected earnings.A mere multiple of 7 odd times helps me to arrive at the target price of 210rs.

Again, in current year promoters have increased their stake by another 3.50%.Now, PROMOTER STAKE STANDS AT 73.64%. A comparative small promoter increasing stake by 8.50% in less than 2 years speaks of confidence of promoter in future prospects of GPL.

Despite so called economic slowdown and global factors and rising interest rates,company has been improving its performance year after year which speak s of efficient management.

Conclusion:In today's tough environment,those companies in smallcap and midcap segment have good future which DOMINANT market share of their product, assured demand from growing user industry, low debt, steady growth, strict control of costs and GPL meets all these criteria as its products are used in variety of industries (and those industries are growing rapidly).
