For Gujarat State Petronet (GSPL), volumes continued to decline in 4QFY2013, led by declining production from KG D6. The top-line increased due to one-time effect of higher realizations. We recommend Buy on the stock. Higher realizations led to top-line growth: GSPLs total operating revenues increased by 29.1% yoy to `360cr, mainly due to increase in transmission realization which included a one-time retrospective increase w.e.f July 27, 2012 due to a PNGRB order. Transmission volumes however, decreased by 28.7% yoy to 22.2mmscmd whereas transmission tariffs increased by 80.4% yoy to `1.8/scm. Higher tax rate mutes PAT growth: The companys EBIDTA increased by 28.8% yoy to `328cr, mainly due to higher realization. The tax rate increased substantially to 38.6% in 4QFY2013 compared to 32.0% in 4QFY2012. The PAT increased by 24.9% yoy to `162cr. Outlook and valuation: We believe GSPL is a leveraged play on increasing gas demand in Gujarat (the countrys hydrocarbon capital) from gas-based power plants and rising spot prices. However, we remain concerned due to declining gas production from the KG-D6 block. Hence, we expect a muted volume growth for GSPL during FY2014. Nevertheless, valuations are undemanding for a utility company at 0.8x FY2015E P/BV. Hence, we recommend a Buy rating on the stock, valuing it at 6.0x FY2015 P/E, to arrive at a target price of `68.

Investment arguments
Volume growth unlikely in the near-term : KG-D6 production has declined from
59mmscmd during 1QFY2011 to under 24mmsmd currently. Going forward, we do not expect production from KG-D6 to increase in FY2014. Hence, we expect GSPLs gas transmission to remain flat during FY2014.

Tariff decline risk captured in valuations: Transmission tariff is one of the biggest
variables affecting GSPL's valuations. We believe tariffs are likely to fall during FY2014. Nevertheless, we believe the anticipated tariff decline is factored in the current price levels.

Outlook and valuation

We believe GSPL is a leveraged play on increasing gas demand in Gujarat (the countrys hydrocarbon capital) from gas-based power plants and rising spot prices. However, we remain concerned due to declining gas production from the KG-D6 block. Hence, we expect a muted volume growth for GSPL during FY2014. Nevertheless, valuations are undemanding for a utility company at 0.8x FY2015E P/BV. Hence, we recommend a Buy rating on the stock, valuing it at 6.0x FY2015 P/E, to arrive at a target price of `68.
