ICICI Securities Report

We believe the likely levy of 5% goods and service tax on curd and lassi is unlikely to have any material impact on the financials of dairy companies.

Curd and lassi account for 15- 25% of revenues of dairy companies. We believe most dairy companies will be able to avail input tax credit on the costs incurred such as packaging material, freight and transportation and ad-spend.

Hence, we believe the effective impact of the likely GST levy will be 2-3% on the financials of dairy companies. We model most dairy companies to pass on the impact via price hikes.

As consumers boil the milk before consuming, they are still ready to accept unorganised milk but as they consume the curd directly, they prefer buying packaged curd. Hence, we do not expect any material impact.
