INITIATION REPORT | BAJAJ CORP LTD. Sept 09, 2011<br />

Premium positioning; High Realizations:<br />

ADHO is positioned as premium value-added hair oil due to its differentiation<br />

properties in terms of product (almond based) and packaging (glass bottle). The<br />

product is made from almond extracts with added Vitamin E and it is packaged in a<br />

glass-bottle instead of a PET-bottle, which helps to preserves the product properties<br />

for a longer period of time. Thus, Bajaj Corp has created a niche category of Almond<br />

Oil in LHO category which enables it to <strong>com</strong>mand premium prices as <strong>com</strong>pared to its<br />

peers. The <strong>com</strong>pany has successfully increased its prices from Rs 28 for 100ml in<br />

Mar’03 to Rs 46 in Apr’11 (CAGR of 6.4%), without hampering volume growth. The<br />

brand’s strong pricing power is evident from improvement in market share (by value)<br />

from 31.4% in FY06 to 54.2% in Q1FY12. In LHO category, ADHO’s closest<br />

<strong>com</strong>petitors are Dey’s Medical’s Keo Karpin with ~19% market share and Marico’s<br />

Hair & Care with ~16% market share. While 100 ml SKU of Keo Karpin and Hair &<br />

Care are available at Rs. 37 and Rs. 42 respectively, ADHO’s 100 ml SKU is available<br />

at Rs. 46. We believe that ADHO will continue to maintain premium pricing going<br />

forward due to strong brand equity and niche category positioning.<br />
