Imminent disruptions
Electric Vehicles & Digitization
“In the long history of mankind (and animal kind, too), those who learned to
collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.”
-
Charles Darwin
Disruption in any part of the value chain has the potential to send centuries-old firmly-
rooted companies/industries into oblivion. A classic example is that of Kodak. It
invented photographic film and retained its dominant position for nearly a century.
However, inability to correctly align with the winds of change brought about by digital
photography resulted in bankruptcy.
In this report, we look at two disruptive forces shaping up today – Electric Vehicles
(EVs) and Digitalization, which may have a profound impact on automobile, oil and
gas, and technology sectors – how soon or late, only time will tell.

Digitalization - Indian IT’s future tense?
Labor arbitrage, efficient processes and quality delivery as recipe of success for
Indian IT companies are passé. There is a clear need to adopt agile methods of
development, greater productivity through automation and new-age digital
platforms.
Driven by a new focus on digital transformation, companies are investing more
in new technologies like Smart Analytics, Robotic Process Automation (RPA),
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain among others.
Blockchain itself is expected to offer USD10-50b of market for service providers
in next few years. Both Internet of Things (IoT) and AI intersect with blockchain.
Early adopters of these new-age technologies will have the ability to partner
with their clients in these fast changing times.
Electric vehicles and fossil fuels – the ultimate race!

Rising pollution drives necessity:
Transportation accounts for as much as ~30%
of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in developed economies. In developing economies
like India and China, the share is much lower at 6-7%. However, urban areas
share the same fate. In Delhi, transportation accounts for 83% of CO, 36% of
NOx, 20% of PM2.5, and 9% of PM10. Winter aggravates the problem.
Electrification inevitably the way forward:
Electric Vehicles (EVs) by virtue of
zero discharge offer immense potential. Although costlier than Internal
Combustion Engines (ICEs) now, regulatory push and government incentives are
likely to drive adoption till the time economics catches up.
Shifting lanes:
In India, component manufacturers are likely to witness highest
disruption. Largest opportunity lies for Li-ion based battery manufacturers,
potentially USD42b market by 2030!

Growth of petrol/diesel consumption could be severely impacted in the longer
term:
In the near-medium term, with increase in road and vehicle density, we
expect ~10%/5% consumption growth in petrol and diesel. We do not envisage a
major impact in the near-medium term. In the longer term, if the market share
of EVs were to rise to 30% of new vehicle sales, this would bring down the
consumption growth to 7% and 3.5%, respectively. What happens to the older
existing stock of vehicles would determine further impact.
CNG could be threatened:
CNG has gained prominence in areas like Delhi and
Mumbai that have been facing severe pollution problems. Since EVs are zero-
emission vehicles (ZEVs), transport fleets – both private and public – may be the
first to adopt EVs. ~25% of IGL’s CNG volumes come from buses; these volumes
could be adversely impacted if public transport shifts to EVs.
Winds of change- the conference highlights
We also invited few interesting companies in IT, Auto and Oil and gas space to
interact with leading investors.
New age digital technologies have sprung several companies and are witnessing
adoption by bigger players.
EVs in India would be largely market driven rather than incentive driven. New
business models like battery swapping, vehicle leasing would emerge.
While EVs would eventually threaten oil companies, we still need to prepare for
the short-medium term. Gas companies would be the least affected.

Indian IT’s Future Tense?
New technologies have been fast emerging in recent years, and
their impact has unfolded on every small and big walk of life. As
the list of the ‘next-big-things’ gets longer, business models are
falling by the side and many industries are losing relevance. Not
least at risk has been Indian IT, whose labor arbitrage, efficient
processes and quality delivery have been already termed as relics
of the era past.
The new era of services hovers around agile method of
development, with an approach of greater productivity through
Automation. It is touted to be about leveraging technologies such
as Blockchain, IoT and Cognitive AI to build next-gen smart and secure Enterprises.
As the bread-and-butter pie for Indian IT gradually shrinks, there is an urgent need
to up-skill their employees and pivot their business models to new-age Digital.
Two schools of thoughts emerge in the context of the industry’s preparedness
when it comes to addressing the Digital opportunity –
[1] Next set of technologies means next wave of opportunities and
[2] Structural shift of business models, which only those most prepared, will
transition through, while many others will succumb.
This section not only deliberates briefly on the end-game from the Indian context,
but also elaborates two of the many buzz terms capturing the imagination of the
Technology landscape at large: [1] The more immediate Internet of Things, and [2]
The next-big-trend of Blockchain.

BLOCKCHAIN and the future of ENTERPRISE adoption
As the old technology models pave way for the new models driven by the agenda of
Digital Transformation, clients’ value focus is driving investments in the following
areas:
[1] Smart Analytics
[2] RPA
[3] AI
[4] Global Sourcing
[5] Blockchain
[6] Digital business models
We hereby have laid out one of the hottest and newest buzz in the fray –
Blockchain.
What is Blockchain?
A blockchain is a
peer-to-peer distributed ledger
that is
cryptographically
secure,
append-only, immutable, and updatable only via consensus or
agreement among peers.
It is an interlinked and continuously expanding list of records stored securely
across a number of interconnected systems. This makes blockchain technology
resilient since the network has no single point of vulnerability.
Additionally, each ‘block’ is uniquely connected to the previous blocks via a
digital signature, which means that making a change to a record without
disturbing the previous records in the chain is not possible, rendering the
information tamper-proof.
The key innovation in blockchain technology is that it allows its participants to
transfer assets across the internet without the need for a centralized third-
party.

Six features that give it a disruptive potential
1.
It is a system of
distributed shared data
with no central administrator, no single
point of failure.
2.
Consensus-driven
trust that cuts out the middle-mam. Trust is driven by an
algorithm. No overpriced intermediaries.
3.
The
immutability
also builds trust. Each block contains a timestamp and link to
previous block, which makes it inherently resistant to modification.
4.
Integrity
and security
are generated by encrypting every record, creating strong
resilience to cyber security concerns.
5.
Smart contracts
allow contracts to auto-execute based on some preset rules
and conditions. It allows for much higher levels of straight through processing.
Millions of IoT devices will find this relevant. Hence, the linkage between IoT
and Blockchain.
6.
Permission and permission-less flavors
give enterprises the flexibility to choose
what their solution is, based on needs and references. Like public and private
clouds – each has its advantages and use case.
A hot-bed of activity: Courtesy HFS Research
The buzz around Blockchain is currently evidenced by ~1,000 investors and
~2,000 start-ups in the segment.
Current market size in blockchain ranges from USD400-800m. However, the
potential is to grow to USD10-50b in the next few years.

Blockchain adoption by enterprises today
Still early days, as 90-95% of usage of Blockchain technology is centered around
strategy formulation and POC. 5% or even lesser is beyond a pilot and into
production.
Once we get into production-ready blockchain solutions, there will be a huge
market for systems integration across blockchain and legacy ERP and IT
technology from the IT Services perspective.
As per HFS, Blockchain is going through the classic 90-9-1 challenge, where 90%
of enterprises lack understanding of what a distributed ledger technology is and
what its use cases are. 9% understand but don’t know where to start from – RoI
visibility, consortia-related challenges. 1% struggle with regulatory uncertainty,
talent availability.
There are real technical, latency and cross-version challenges. The community is
still working on addressing these. It will be a 5-to-7 year journey to deliver on
promise-land of disintermediating and creating new revenue streams.

The use cases are quickly expanding to more industries and governments, and a lot
of activity is seen across the board from different kinds of players. Yet, it’s still in an
early growth stage. However, organizations are finding more and more ways to
capture the business value in it. Creating new value is a prime focus for most
companies, so blockchain will be highly disruptive and the adoption pace will quickly
accelerate.

Intersection with three current technology trends
IoT
is the emerging technology intersecting with blockchain – notably in the
area of smart contracts, where connected devices in a blockchain network may
trigger and execute transactions in a secure manner without human
intervention
Another emerging area witnessing blockchain intersection is
AI.
A lot of data
gets created with blockchain. AI and ML, NLP technologies are needed to
understand and make sense from this data.
The question of energy consumption
Bitcoin is an example of proof-of-work. If one wants to record any transaction on a
blockchain, he/she has to show a lot of work. In computational terms, it means lot
of computational power needed to create one block in bitcoin. Hence, bitcoin is not
one of the most popular use cases in enterprise adoption terms, despite all the
noise around it. It is not the best platform since it is so power hungry. However, the
technology does have the throughput needed by enterprises, and hence will find
deployment.
Market players (platform providers)
Two players dominate today (as per ISG): MS (public blockchain) and IBM (private).
Appended below are the anecdotes of work done

HFS, on the other hand, has identified 20+ solution provider leaders in the early
stage of blockchain
Ethereum and hyperledger
account for majority of the enterprise blockchain
adoption use cases, according to HfS.
Adoption of hyperledger fabric should pick up even more with new production-
ready solutions.

Players from a myriad of industries are trying to solve problems using the blockchain
ecosystem. The three layers of blockchain, according to HFS, are:
1.
At the bottom is the platform or rules of the game – bitcoin, ethereum, hyper-
ledger, etc.
2.
Above that are the technology players – Consensys, IBM and Oracle, which use
these rules of the game to create solutions.
3.
Right at the top are service providers, consortiums and start-ups, which are
using these technologies to help solve business problems. Legal firms,
academicians also play a crucial role.

The play for service providers
For service providers, the opportunity is very similar to that in the cloud. This
will entail building applications on massive scale platforms and support new
operating models that these next gen apps create. Even the cloud native
environment required new type of thinking and managed services. The same
pattern will emerge with blockchain.
So, application builders on industry
specific-use cases will win it.
There are budding examples of the role played by service providers in the
ecosystem:
Virtusa
– Has worked on a blockchain platform for
media industry;
enabling
consortium companies to better share customer data.
Accenture
and
DHL
have developed a pharmaceutical prototype that tracks
drugs from seller to the consumer.
Walmart
is experimenting in the supply chain. Today, it is very hard to figure
out where the product lost its quality along the value chain. It is a
compliance issue. With blockchain, the product can be traced from the farm
to the consumer. That will be hugely impactful in the food safety context.
Primarily the market for SPs is all about SI projects right now. Most are pilots,
which is a relatively small opportunity today. Some pilots doing well, others
getting shuttered. Project-based work right now. But that's what cloud was
several years ago.
The consulting big-4 are becoming winners in this space, as this requires
consultancy through the 90-9-1 challenge.
What is in it for BPM providers?
The pure-play BPM providers bring process and domain expertise. They need to
partner with technology firms rather than focusing on building technology
themselves.
BPM providers can help clients understand how blockchain will or will not help.
Take that consultative approach to help customers through the hype.
How the market for blockchain services will shape up
HfS Research expects maturity to happen over three phases:
1.
Payment and transaction settlement. Financial services will find deployment in
use cases such as payment systems and transaction settlement are becoming
mature now.
2.
In the second phase are a plethora of pilots, and trials will take place in areas
outside FS. These include supply chains, point-of-sale cases for retail and
copyright access for media companies. Second phase will largely comprise of
these pilots.
3.
This will see realization beyond the pilot mode. Scam detection, smart contracts
and digital identity management are some examples of applications.
2018 is the year when blockchain is expected to move outside the FS industry into
any organization where recording and verification of information is required.

Blockchain is one of the biggest bubbles today. However, they are potentially as
significant as the internet, even though revenues from enterprise blockchain
adoption here are still small. Compare that to the other hype that is Robotic Process
Automation (RPA)!

Internet of Things
If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things – using
data they gathered without any help from us – we would be able to track and
count everything, and greatly reduce waste, loss and cost. We would know when
things needed replacing, repairing or recalling, and whether they were fresh or
past their best.
Poised for exponential growth
IoT is poised for exponential growth globally, with the number of connected
devices expected to grow 5.5x to 20.8 billion.
The global IoT market will grow from USD157b in 2016 to USD457b by 2020,
attaining a CAGR of 28.5%, according to GrowthEnabler.
Discrete manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and utilities will lead all
industries in IoT spending by 2020, averaging USD40b each.
Bain predicts B2B IoT segments will generate more than USD300b annually by
2020, including ~USD85b in the industrial sector.
Internet Of Things market is likely to reach USD267b by 2020, according to
Boston Consulting Group.
Various technological, economic and behavioral factors are driving the uptake of IoT
globally:
Low-cost sensors, declining cost of connectivity, and reduced cost and time of
processing will play a key role in the rise and adoption of IoT.
Use of big data analytics and cloud computing will enable processing and
analysis of unstructured data to move from insights to foresights.
Consumer interest in IoT technologies is also rising due to increased reliance on
mobile devices.

IOT – a key focus area for Persistent Systems
Even though there are numerous proprietary IoT platforms currently available,
with a wide variety in both functionality and implementation, there are common
basic elements in most.
Persistent believes in providing end-to-end IoT platform that is foundational,
scalable and extensible. It also emphasizes on security considerations, which are
paramount in the design of an IoT platform. This encompasses almost every
component of an IoT platform. It is absolutely necessary to design every
component and every interface in an IoT system with security considerations in
mind – everything from data security and privacy to data integrity and network
security.
In line with market demand and the need to focus on IoT, PSYS has brought
together market-facing IoT groups from its Alliance and Accelerite as one unit.
This will strengthen the IoT offering by leveraging the IP, solutions and device
and sensor partnerships across a wider set of platform partners.
PSYS had entered into an agreement with IBM in FY16 to support and extend
the IBM Continuous Lifecycle Management and Continuous Engineering product
suite. New sites were established in Gadalajara, Mexico- Rehovot,
Israel- Ottawa, Canada and Edinburgh, Scotland during the year.
In terms of market potential, IDC forecasts that the worldwide market for IoT
solutions will grow from USD1.9t in 2013 to USD7.1t in 2020. An IoT platform
implies the integration of a set of different functionalities provided by individual
components.

Why Digital is not a secular tailwind for service providers?
Appended below is our learning from industry interactions as to why Digital looks
like a structural shift very capable of driving industry consolidation, as and when
many companies will fall prey to the complexities hurting growth in business along
with profitability.
Technology challenge – transient issues or structural erosion of relative
capabilities
Gradual slowdown of dollar revenue growth, pricing pressure in traditional services,
margin limitations in the newer services and concerns around transformation to
remain in clients’ relevant set have now been well documented concerns that have
dominated the IT industry landscape for over an year – driving material
underperformance to the index.
The acquisitive rush at the likes of Accenture and Cognizant, sizeable bets at Wipro,
and likewise intent (albeit little action) at INFO and others is another example of the
gaps that companies clearly feel the need to bridge – gaps that are at the heart of
industry’s gradually dipping performance. How surmountable are the challenges
from a medium-to-long term perspective? Digital will get industrialized at some
point and that is when India’s cost advantage will find its way back into the
equation. However, in our view, this is oversimplification of industry’s business
drivers.

Exhibit 13:
The changing models are telling on the RoICs
Source: Company, MOSL
The right comparison set of the past
Digital is not an overnight phenomenon but will evolve over the next 5+ years. The
more important question is:
1)
Is this akin to the next new opportunity like IMS, e-commerce and ERP in the
past; or
2)
a more deep-rooted change like the shift toward low-cost destinations
witnessed amid the prime of labor arbitrage.
This is key because it will determine the secularity with which the industry embraces
the opportunity. Scenario-2 is obviously the more complex one, as it is one thing to
know the imperatives and completely another to master the change! As Everest CEO
Peter Bendor Samuel put it – years ago, most leaders of the IT Services industry such
as ACS, CSC and EDS understood the components that comprised the switch to the
labor arbitrage model, but the firm could not master the business model change.
Only Accenture and IBM succeeded in this effort because they were the only two
that actually managed to have sufficient will to execute on the new model, despite
the ostensible ‘cannibalization’ of their mainstream business.
Why we think the transformation is much more complex?
Below are some of the anecdotes around Digital business imperatives, and this is
not an exhaustive list:
1)
Digital is all about consultative proactive selling, and not about responding to
RFPs.
2)
The deal sizes are negligible to start with, and then they grow on to become
bigger. However, you don’t have USD50-100m deals here (on the other hand,
traditional large deals undergo some contraction with every renewal).
3)
The business models will depend upon the solution: fixed price, license (for own
IP), linked to client outcomes, subscription (usage) based etc.
4)
Buyer organization is different – CXO, marketing team, supply chain team,
product team, etc. and not just the CIO organization.
12 July 2018
17
 Motilal Oswal Financial Services

5)
Onsite centricity is an imperative for the clients to gain comfort in the business.
6)
Automation is an absolute must – people-centric model will transform to people
+ software combine.
7)
Capability in agile development and iterative solution building is the approach–
fail-fast. Traditional methodology was longer-term contracts that were delivered
fail-proof.
Exhibit 14:
Digital v/s traditional – contrasting styles of working
Source: Company, MOSL
Almost everything, starting from targeted point of sale, type of selling, capabilities in
selling, delivery approach and the business model, is different.
Here, the natural challenge for the established habitat is to operate two business
models simultaneously. Achieving a balance is by no means a given, and thus, the
fear that some organizations may fall by the wayside is not dismissive to say the
least.
Everyone wants to have AI, be a pioneer
The potential corporate market for AI software, hardware and services is vast –
around USD58b by 2021, compared to USD12b last year, according to IDC, a
research firm. Given the novelty, buying AI takes time, can feel like hard work, and
the results are often imperfect. Yet, a number of vendors are scurrying to come to
would-be users’ aid:
The leaders are the West’s biggest providers of cloud storage:
Amazon, Google
and Microsoft.
All three firms offer pre-trained models that corporate clients
can use to build AI-enabled systems.

The cloud providers will increasingly compete with
management consultancies,
which charge fat fees for helping clients navigate technological disruption.
McKinsey
has been investing heavily to beef up its expertise in data, for
example by buying QuantumBlack, an advanced-analytics firm, for an
undisclosed sum in 2015.
IBM
is trying to bridge the gap between the tech wizards and the conventional
consultants.
Startups,
too, are hoping to jump on the AI bandwagon. Many offer services like
helping clean up and label data, and take on specific tasks that large tech firms
are not yet offering, like helping firms recruit, scan job descriptions and improve
customer service.
Instances of corporates using the big three for AI needs
Uber, the ride-hailing firm, worked with Microsoft’s toolset to design a system that scans drivers’ faces to confirm their
identity when they start a shift.
C-Span, a television network, used Amazon’s vision system to compile a database of politicians so it can quickly name
them when they appear on screen.
As BPO transforms, challengers and leaders are a different set
A reasonable anecdote of the challenge facing the industry today is a snapshot of
the leaderboard in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) capabilities. RPA is the biggest
transformation that is currently underway in the BPO services industry. As long as
manual staff catered to this industry through voice and e-mails, India and
Philippines dominated the fray. Companies such as TCS, Accenture, INFO, CTSH,
Genpact and WNS were the leaders for years.
However, appended below is Everest’s PEAK matrix for RPA Products – determined
on the basis of market success, portfolio mix and value delivered. Interestingly,
EdgeVerve – an Infosys subsidiary, is the only entity among the above names that
qualifies as a major contender

Currently, legacy arbitrage companies have been focused on acquiring small new
digital companies – about as much consolidation as we have come to witness in the
industry. Accenture has already purchased over 37 companies to date this year, and
other mature service providers are looking for acquisition targets and trying to
match its rate of spend. There are many more acquisitions happening in the
disruptive digital space than in the legacy arbitrage space. This is understandable
because:
1. Providers are trying to buy their way into the new digital market
2. The companies for sale are small or affordable
3. Incumbent legacy service providers are very profitable, and facing growth issues
not cash flow issue.
The collapse of margins for the incumbent arbitrage-based providers could be a key
driver of consolidation among the traditional providers. To date, margins have
eroded but very gradually, and companies have had a reprieve because of the INR
depreciating. Margins, however, are increasingly coming under pressure from
multiple angles – operating model changes, clients looking for lower prices and
clients’ increased desire for providers’ resources to work onshore. All these things
will inevitably push margins down and consolidation up, perhaps.

…as India remains the hotbed for investments
Companies are investing heavily in innovation, ranging from teams dedicated to
driving innovation and innovation labs like those they have in Bangalore. Accenture,
for example, is leveraging the strong and relatively low-cost digital talent available in
the Indian market to make its investment go further and has 4,000 people driving
innovation. Hence, India has emerged as its largest hub for digital investment and
quickly become the center of excellence for key technologies such as AI, machine
learning, analytics and cybersecurity.

Electrification inevitably the way forward
Automobiles
The future of electric vehicles (EVs) appears very promising with
governments across the world trying to create widespread
awareness about EVs for greater mass appeal. Moreover, internal
combustion engine (ICE)-powered vehicles are likely to lose
attractiveness on account of stringent government regulations.
We believe that EV penetration will not only be driven by
regulatory push to deal with environmental issues, but also
because of the attractiveness of EVs among customers – multiple
factors are likely to work in favor of EVs to lower the cost
differential between an EV and an ICE-powered vehicle. However,
this would play out only gradually.
In the interim, push mechanisms are essential to promote EV
usage.
India and electrification dream
Besides the Indian government’s supportive policy framework and provision of various incentives, the key
drivers for EVs would be availability of charging infrastructure, aftersales service, and battery price and
performance.
While there are several challenges in the adoption of e-mobility, we, in this report, have enlisted some possible
solutions to overcome those.
Charging infrastructure would be pivotal in promoting e-mobility.
While a collaborative action from all stakeholders is necessary for mass adoption of EVs, the government would
have to assume a central role.
Various estimates put EV penetration at 25-40% by 2030
ICE-powered vehicles are expected to continue accounting for a major chunk of overall vehicle sales over the
next several years. During this period, we should see EVs evolving both in terms of viability and preference.
Relevance of hybrids and plug-in hybrids would increase from 2020-2025, especially in less-developed countries.
2025-2030 would see exponential growth in battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales due to low battery prices and a
favourable EV ecosystem.
China would lead the EV transition, with various layers of municipal policies and its ‘New Energy Vehicle’ policy
providing momentum to EV adoption.
Strong hybrids are likely to play an important role in India to comply with the Corporate Average Fuel Economy
(CAFE) norms.
Pace of electrification will vary across segments in India – 2Ws and 3Ws to be early adopters.
Fleet PVs are likely to witness highest adoption of electrification by 2030.
What changes does electrification bring?
The shift toward EVs has the potential to disrupt competitive positioning for OEMs.
Component manufacturers are likely to witness highest disruption, with ICE and transmission parts witnessing
obsolescence in EVs.
New entrants in the value chain (such as lithium-ion battery manufacturers and producers of other EV
components like motors and controllers) would have a big opportunity to gain a large share of the EV value
chain.
Lithium-ion battery manufacturers would witness the largest opportunity. Based on our assumptions for
electrification level by 2030, we see ~USD42b opportunity being created for li-ion batteries in India.

Electrification inevitably the way forward
Could it surprise positively?
The future of electric vehicles (EVs) appears very promising with governments across
the world trying to create widespread awareness about EVs for greater mass appeal.
Moreover, internal combustion engine (ICE)-powered vehicles are likely to lose
attractiveness on account of stringent government regulations.
We believe that EV penetration will not only be driven by regulatory push to deal with
environmental issues, but also because of the attractiveness of EVs among customers
– multiple factors are likely to work in favor of EVs to lower the cost differential
between an EV and an ICE-powered vehicle. However, this would play out only
gradually.
In the interim, push mechanisms are essential to promote EV usage.
Efforts are underway globally to make the move from traditional, ICE-powered
vehicles, to electric ones. Moreover, to deal with the long-standing issue of air
pollution, government regulations now favor substitution of oil with a wide
range of environment-friendly alternative fuels for vehicles.
Globally, the market share of EVs (new car sales) is expected to reach 25-40% by
2030 (according to various sources) from 1% currently.
EVs still largely remain a choice of the regulator rather than one of consumers.
However, we anticipate a gradual shift in consumer preference toward EVs due
to the following factors:
Increasing focus of regulators to improve air quality:
With governments across
the world focused on improving air quality (e.g. Germany recently banned sale
of diesel vehicles), the relevance of EVs is likely to increase as they offer a clean
alternative to ICE vehicles with zero tailpipe emissions.
Stricter emission norms to make ICE-powered vehicles costlier:
The price of
ICE-powered vehicles is expected to increase going forward as companies would
need to shell out more to comply with increasingly stringent regulatory norms.
For example, BS-VI implementation is expected to increase the price of ICE-
powered vehicles by 8-15%. Post BS-VI, we expect the price differential between
an EV (diesel) and an ICE-powered vehicle to narrow down to 16% (from 41%
currently), increasing attractiveness of EVs.
Falling battery prices drive down cost of EVs:
Currently, batteries account for
40-50% of the EV cost. Lithium-ion battery pack prices are falling rapidly and are
further expected to decline to USD100/kWh by 2030 for BEVs (USD73/kWh,
according to BNEF) from ~USD210/kWh currently.
Increasing range with higher density of battery:
Average battery energy density
is improving by 5-7% every year. It is expected to double by 2030 to more than
200Wh/kg on the back of continuous improvements in battery chemistries,
higher material efficiencies and better engineering. The battery range for BEVs
is also expected to increase to 350km, as against the current average range of
200km.

Push mechanisms needed to accelerate EV adoption
While the viability gap between EVs and ICE-powered vehicles is expected to narrow
due to a reduction in battery prices, we believe that push mechanisms are essential
in the interim to promote EV usage. Collective adoption of the following could play a
key role in mass adoption of EVs:
Charging infrastructure:
Enough and easily accessible charging stations for
longer journeys to be completed are crucial for mass adoption of EVs. Places
with higher EV penetration tend to have more publicly available charging
infrastructure.
12 July 2018

Wider range of products: Availability
of a wider range of EV products is crucial
in raising consumer awareness about EVs and faster growth of the EV market.
Incentives/subsidies, policies:
Short- to medium-term financial incentives
directed at EVs are essential for bridging the initial purchase cost gap between
EVs and ICE-powered vehicles. It is important to note that monetary incentives
alone do not drive EV penetration. Other measures like tax rebates, tax breaks,
special parking, driving privileges and discounted electricity can have a greater
impact and outreach.

Decline in battery prices, fiscal incentives and charging infrastructure – key
drivers of EV adoption
While clarity is awaited on the government’s policy for electric cars for personal use,
we believe that much will unfold over the next 2-3 years on all the critical aspects
supporting electrification. There is a need for a long-term policy framework that
allows for continuity and attracts desired investments required for EV deployment.
Beside policy framework and incentives, we believe that charging infrastructure,
battery availability and recycling, cost reduction, after-sales service and resale value
will be the biggest factors that will influence EV adoption in India.

Major challenges in EV adoption and possible solutions
India has an ambitious target of attaining 100% electrification in public mobility and
40% electrification in personal mobility by 2030. Achieving this target will need a
substantial push from the government and the private sector. We have outlined
below some of the main impediments in mass adoption of EVs and possible
solutions to overcome them:

Incentivizing the private sector for setting up charging infrastructure
Mandating new construction sites to provide for charging infra.
Significant investment by the government on charging infrastructure
Battery swapping Fast chargers
Range-extended EVs, PHEVs till the time BEV technology evolves to
accommodate higher range.
Incentivizing hybrids at par with BEVs over the medium term
Global technological collaborations
Favorable government policies to encourage investments in
manufacturing battery, semi-conductors, controllers and micro-
processors for EVs
Provide incentives on EV R&D investments, development of local
technologies
Mandatory local manufacturing JVs like in China

Government to assume central role in pushing e-mobility
The key observation while enlisting the aforementioned solutions is the
government’s pivotal role in ensuring and enabling mass adoption of EVs.
Challenges remain inter-dependent, demanding a collaborative action from all
stakeholders with the government assuming a central role in pushing the move
toward e-mobility.
It is worth noting that the Indian government has already taken strides toward
this direction – EESL orders, state tenders for procurement of e-buses, non-
requirement of separate license for setting up charging stations – which, in turn,
could provide a big boost to the ambitious EV plans.

Global roadmap to electrification
Electric mobility is set to become a reality with a gradual transition toward EVs. ICE-
powered vehicles are expected to continue accounting for a major chunk of overall
vehicle sales over the next several years. During this period, we should see EVs
evolving both in terms of viability and preference. We have charted a three-phase
roadmap to electrification:
Phase I (2018-2020):
During this phase, we will see limited adoption of EVs, with
the concept gaining more and more popularity. EV prices would remain high
despite incentives and subsidies, with a lengthy, unattractive payback period for
consumers. During this phase, OEMs’ focus would be on meeting emission
regulations, which would still be less challenging than electric mobility.
Phase II (2020-2025):
As the industry moves into the next phase, EV market
share will expand as OEMs are forced to meet tightening emission standards
and fleet-wide efficiencies. Incentivizing sales of non-ICE vehicles and significant
investments toward charging infrastructure would play a huge role in this
transition. Hybrids—mild/strong hybrids and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) during
period are expected to gain popularity, especially in less developed countries,
due to their relatively high payback period.
Phase III (2025-2030):
During this phase, we expect consumer preference to
gradually shift toward BEVs. We believe that BEVs would be attractive on a total
cost of ownership (TCO) basis with a steep fall in battery prices and a favorable
EV ecosystem. BEVs would gain significant market share during this period.

China’s accelerated path to electrification
Various layers of municipal policies in China push EV sales
The Chinese government provides subsidies ranging from CNY15-50k
(USD2,370-7,900) per vehicle, depending on the vehicle range.
Most local governments provide additional subsidies of 15-50% on top of the
central government subsidies.
Further, most cities provide favorable non-fiscal policies like assured issuance of
vehicle license and increased access to high occupancy vehicle lanes. For
example, in Beijing, in any given month, as many as 3 million applications are
received for ~3k new licenses, with the remainder going in the lottery pool. EV
buyers, however, are exempt from this system and are assured of receiving a
license.
China’s ‘New Energy Vehicle’ policy to give push beyond 2020
National subsidies in China are being phased out by 2020.
Annual mandatory requirements are set for auto manufacturers on NEV credits,
which need to be achieved by producing or importing enough new energy
passenger cars. It also allows manufacturers to use surplus NEV credits to offset
corporate average fuel consumption (CAFC) credit deficits, adding compliance
flexibility to the existing fuel efficiency regulation for passenger cars.
It is estimated that the implementation of the NEV policy would take the market
share of NEVs in China to ~4% in 2020 (v/s 2.1% in 2017).
Strong hybrids play an important role in India’s EV transition
Across countries, the trend would be broadly similar, but the mix of ICE, hybrids and
EVs will vary according to the relative cost of fuel and electricity, the average
distance that consumers travel in each market (which would determine the TCO),
and local regulations and incentives.
We believe that, although the electrification trend would be broadly similar in India,
hybrids, especially strong hybrids, would gain more popularity and a higher market
12 July 2018

| Thematic
share. Strong hybrids would play an important role to comply with CAFE norms (cars
need to be 30% more fuel efficient from 2022), even so with economic viability of
EVs not being in sight till 2025.
Varied pace of electrification across vehicle segments
We believe that electrification would occur across segments in a scattered manner,
with 2Ws and 3Ws being the early adopters (due to the relatively low technology
barriers, ease of charging and lower range requirements), followed by buses and
commercial PVs. We believe that PV fleet would see highest level of electrification
by 2030 due to significantly higher economic viability and strong push by fleet
operators.
Two wheelers:
2Ws are expected to be one of the early adopters of e-mobility.
Within 2Ws, we expect scooters to lead the shift to e-mobility. Ease of charging,
lower initial price gap, lower range concerns, wider variety availability and
shorter development cycle are some of the factors that would drive mass
adoption in this segment. According to a report by ACMA and Roland Berger,
electric 2Ws would account for ~35% of 2W sales by 2025.
Three wheelers:
With e-rickshaws establishing a strong presence in India
(estimated fleet of 1m), electric 3Ws would help overcome the shortcomings of
e-rickshaws. Within 3Ws, we expect passenger 3Ws to lead the shift to e-
mobility. Economic viability, intra-city usage, lower initial price gap and ease of
charging are some of the factors that would drive mass adoption in this
segment.
Passenger vehicles:
Personal car segment:
Affordability is the key concern in the electric PV
segment, with electrification in PVs for personal usage not being
economically viable for consumers at present. Initial price gap for
comparable ICE and electric PVs is as high as 2-2.5x currently. According to
global estimates, parity on a TCO basis for electric PVs is expected to be
achieved by 2022. Our analysis suggests that TCO-based parity in India could
be reached as late as 2025 in the personal car segment. In the interim, we
believe hybrids and PHEV would prepare the segment for electrification.
PV Fleet:
Economic viability on a TCO basis for PV fleets could be achieved
by as early as 2020, given the relatively high distance travelled.
Buses:
Although economic viability of e-buses remains a concern, they are
clearly one of the focus areas for the government with the recent tenders
floated across states as part of the pilot program.

What changes does electrification bring?
Component manufacturers to witness highest disruption
The shift toward EVs has the potential to disrupt competitive positioning for OEMs.
Component manufacturers are likely to witness highest disruption, with ICE and
transmission parts witnessing obsolescence in EVs.
New entrants in the value chain (such as lithium-ion battery manufacturers and
producers of other EV components like motors and controllers) would have a big
opportunity to gain a large share of the EV value chain.
Lithium-ion battery manufacturers would witness the largest opportunity. Based on
our assumptions for electrification level by 2030, we see ~USD42b opportunity being
created for li-ion batteries in India.
Shift towards EV – potential to disrupt competitive positioning for OEMs
Almost all OEMs across segments in India are working on the EV segment, with
varied stage of preparedness.
While it is too early to comment on winners and losers on the OEM side, we
believe that the speed of the shift toward EV has potential to disrupt
competitive positioning for OEMs.
This could be the best chance for challengers (like MM, Tata Motors, Nissan,
Ford, etc.) to reduce gap vis-à-vis market leaders.
The 2W segment would see competition from several start-ups (Ather Energy,
Tork Motorcycles, Okinawa, Twenty Two Motors, etc.) as well.

Li-ion batteries to present ~USD42b opportunity:
Assuming that the 2030 electrification targets set by the NITI Aayog (40% of
all private vehicle sales to be EV, 100% of all intra-city public vehicles to be
EV) are achieved, li-ion batteries would be ~USD42b opportunity (9x of

Oil & Gas
Oil & Gas
Still some time before the bell rings
Oil & Gas
By virtue of EVs being zero discharge vehicles, it would eventually
have an impact on auto fuels globally. In absence of requisite
government incentives, India may experience the revolution a bit
late, but it is inevitable.
We import ~80% of our oil requirements. In absence of any major
domestic production, our dependence on oil imports is only
expected to grow. Even if EVs were to replace 30% of petrol and
diesel consumption by 2030, we would still require 6.1mnbopd of
oil against our current consumption of 4.3mnbopd.
Even if EVs were to replace 30% of petrol and diesel consumption
by 2030, we would still consume 287mmtpa of petroleum
products by 230, which results in additional requirement of
45mmtpa of refining capacity.
Not much impact on gas demand
Of our total consumption of 145mmscmd of gas, only 16% is consumed by City Gas Distribution Companies
(CGDs). Out of this, only 50% is for transportation. Moreover, the emphasis on increasing access to gas in newer
cities is much more than incentives on EVs.
However, fleet operators (be it government or aggregators) would be the first adopters of EVs. For IGL, ~25% of
the CNG sale is for buses and ~4% is for taxis, which could see first threat.
In the near-medium term, we do not expect much impact on CGDs. Gas transporters like GAIL & GSPL, and
importers like Petronet would not be challenged even in the longer term.
Refineries have no place to hide in the longer run
Auto fuels form ~50-60% of product slate for refineries. Eventually, EVs or even newer age fuels like hydrogen
would replace auto fuels. When battery technology improves substantially, EVs would pose a threat even for
diesel being consumed by heavy vehicles.
We expect a major slowdown in new refining projects globally due to the threat of EVs. This combined with
closure of smaller and older refineries globally would keep refining margins healthy. Demand of auto fuels would
also be there till the time significant proportion of all existing stock of ICEs is replaced by EVs.
However, eventually, refineries have to develop and adopt newer technologies to take care of this 50-60% of
their production.
Auto fuel retailers could find some use for their retail outlets by converting them into charging stations.

Hydrocarbons – death by the electrons?
The endangered species!
Transportation accounts for largest usage of oil
Globally, transportation accounts for 54% of total liquid fuel consumption. Even
if we exclude aviation, transportation accounts for 45-50% of global liquids
consumption.
In India, petrol constitutes 12% of total consumption of refined products, almost
entirely by transportation. Diesel constitutes 39%; however, road transportation
accounts for 67% of diesel consumption. In fact, buses and HCVs/LCVs
constitute 7% and 28% of total diesel consumption. Diesel HCVs/LCVs would be
the last to be challenged by EVs. Excluding HCVs/LCVs, only 39% of total diesel
consumption and almost all of petrol consumption could be threatened by EVs,
both combined constituting 27% of total oil consumption in India.

Refining sector still needs large investments
The oil and gas sector, as complex as it may seem at times, is fundamentally
composed of hydrocarbons – all products are different combinations of carbon
and hydrogen atoms. Technology exists to produce complex petrochemicals
from refinery off-gases/natural gas – the lightest of materials. Technology also
exists to convert solid petcoke, a byproduct of delayed coker into synthesis gas.
To a large extent, companies would adapt to take care of reduced petrol/diesel
demand. Our estimates suggest that if India does not add refining capacity apart
from the imminent 6mmtpa at Vizag, we may turn a net importer in FY22 itself,
without any impact of EVs.
If EVs do not become a reality, then by 2030, we would require incremental
capacity of 80mmtpa (in addition to the 6mmtpa expansion at Vizag) to meet
domestic demand. Even if we assume that we would be able to replace 30% of
petrol and diesel consumption by EVs, we would still consume a total of
287mmt in FY30, which requires additional capacity of 45mmtpa.

Sales of petrol and diesel may be affected in the longer term
India still has a poor density of cars per capita. As mentioned in our report,
The
Three Musketeers, January 2017,
with expansion in road infrastructure, we
would continue to see high growth of ~10%/5% in petrol/diesel in the near-
medium term.
In the longer term, when EVs make significant progress in terms of percentage
of total existing stock of vehicles, then it would have a significant impact on
sales of petrol and diesel.
However, the OMCs have been making conscious inroads in alternate forms of
energy. All OMCs have varying degrees of presence in city gas distribution.
While IOCL and BPCL have taken good strides, HPCL is yet to make significant
progress.
OMCs are also looking at installation of electric charging points. IOCL also seems
to be foraying into energy storage solutions.

E&P would still continue to witness investments
If EVs were to replace 30% of petrol and diesel consumption by 2030, even then
we would require 6.1mnbopd of oil, almost 41% up from 4.3mnbopd currently.
Currently, we produce 0.7mnbopd of oil and import the rest. A demand of
6.1mnbopd by 2030 still means that huge investments would be required in E&P
assets if we are not to rely on imports.

Not much impact on gas demand
Of the total gas consumption, 16% is by city gas distribution companies (CGDs).
Of this, hardly 50% is for CNG.
We understand that the genesis of CGDs was primarily to reduce vehicular
pollution. This also means that the government or judiciary may make a push for
EVs for fleets in major cities, as pollution still remains a burning issue.
However, that would also eat away 8% of total gas consumption in the country.
Going forward, gas consumption would increase in the refineries,
petrochemical, fertilizer and industrial segments more for power and feedstock
requirements.
A clear example is that of China – while EVs have been growing, gas
consumption has also been growing leaps and bounds as focus on pollution
increases.
12 July 2018

 Motilal Oswal Financial Services
| Thematic
CNG, however, could be adversely impacted
We understand that ~25% of total CNG for IGL is consumed by buses. Another
~4% is consumed in taxis.
If the government or judiciary makes it compulsory for buses or all public
transportation to run on EVs, it would impact CNG sales drastically.
While China has been doling out subsidies of USD4-5bn annually for EV
adoption, India is not expected to give commensurate subsidies considering our
fiscal situation. We do not expect private ownership in India to change from ICEs
to EVs unless the economics works in favor.
Conclusion – long-term negative
We do not expect much impact on refining or E&P. However, CNG sales could be
adversely impacted if fleets get converted to EVs either because of economics or
because of government/judiciary initiatives.
We would continue to watch developments in the space. In the meantime, we
reiterate our positive stand on OMCs, Petronet LNG, as well as CGDs.

Engineering Services has been the fastest growing sub-segment in the recent
years for India’s IT Services exports. This trend is likely to continue in the
foreseeable future, given the traction and opportunity in sub-segments such as
Automotives and Software Product Engineering.
Global R&D spending is in excess of USD1b. However Engineering Services
outsourced market is much smaller than IT Services, and is currently pegged at
USD60b.France accounts for USD20b, India is USD12b, and the US is ~USD8b.
Then there are smaller contributors such as Japan, among others.
Software Product Engineering should continue growing in low-to-mid teens. The
other sector showing significant traction is Automotives. India should continue
to grow 12-15%. Indian market is growing much faster than the overall market.
Cognizant
CTSH has its own AI Solutions platform “Big Decisions” and it also uses other
solution libraries to bring the best packaged solutions to its clients.
The limitation for services providers is not technological capabilities, but ability
to identify areas of applications. That requires a strong understanding of clients’
business and the way the underlying processes function.
There have been large number of use cases across streams already explored and
worked upon – Extent of damages for Insurance companies, Intelligence to bring
down animal accidents, gauging client satisfaction from tone and style of

Consultant
Electric Vehicles present a convincing value proposition in the commercial
segment (PV fleet, e-3Ws, e-buses), a trend that would further get endorsed in
the next 2-3 years.
Economic viability for EVs in the Passenger vehicle fleet segment are already in
sight, hence Government’s focus to divert incentives to this segment would lead
to faster adoption of EVs in India.
While other countries witness a Top-down driven approach to electrification
with focus on personal mobility first, India would be on a different trajectory
altogether as electrification would be driven through commercial vehicles (fleet
PVs and e-3Ws).
Based on forecasts of Li-ion prices, inflection point for the following segment
would be:
PVs (personal usage): 2022-23
E-3Ws: 2020
E-2Ws: 2019-20
Adoption of EVs in India would be more market-led than incentive-driven.
Battery swapping would address concerns of range anxiety in 2Ws/3Ws/buses.
However, it is not a feasible solution for other vehicle segments due to lack of
uniformity and difficulty in handling the battery.
One of the companies we hosted - Twenty Two Motors, offers a compelling
product in the form of ‘Flow’, a lithium-ion powered e-scooter:
Flow offers 60kms range in a single charge, with a top speed of 60kmph.
Priced at ~INR 75k (ex-showroom- Delhi), it has potential to disrupt ICE
scooters with a running cost of INR0.15/km (v/s INR1.5/km for a petrol
scooter). Our calculation suggests payback in 2.5-3 years. Further, the
battery is removable, and takes upto 4 hours to fully charge, addressing
concerns of range anxiety.
Twenty Two Motors has an initial capacity of 100k scooters p.a. and would
scale up further depending on the demand.

Another interesting company we hosted - Go Green EOT is an e-scooter
manufacturing company catering to the needs of e-commerce/food delivery. It
has a fleet of ~940 vehicles that are given on a fixed subscription per month per
vehicle for a minimum period of 2 years to their clients (in Bangalore and
Gurgaon). Go Green EOT claims its customers are saving 25-40% on their per
vehicle delivery cost. This validates our belief that relevance of electric vehicles
is high in the commercial usage segment, with economic viability already in
sight.
Oil and gas
While EVs would eventually be a big threat, we also need to take care of short-
medium term requirements. We would need more refineries to cater to high
demand of auto fuels in the short term unless we want to increase our exposure
to imports.
Gas would continue to play an important role even after EVs.
Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board
Government or regulatory body may not intervene in the pricing of CNG/PNG
Unified tariff is a complex issue and would take few more months to come
