New reins, new reign!
Harnessing potential for a new harvest

 The profitability of Indian PSUs, most of which were plagued with project delays,
policy paralysis and deteriorating balance sheet, is almost at half the FY04 levels.
However, we believe the worst is behind.
 As Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr Narendra Modi transformed a number of state PSUs.
As Prime Minister, we believe he could drive similar transformation in central PSUs.
 We propose a ‘SECURE’ framework to turn around PSUs’ performance, but also
recognize that divestment too would be essential to further the nation’s development
agenda.
 In this backdrop, we believe the likely winners among the listed PSUs would be SBI,
ONGC, BHEL, NTPC and BPCL.

Restructure or retire? A ‘SECURE’ framework can turnaround PSUs


Emphasis on restructuring of PSUs is clearly visible in some recent comments from
the new government. We propose a ‘SECURE’ framework to turn around PSUs’
performance. However, divestment would also be a necessity to further the
development agenda. We expect the government to keep the PSUs of strategic and
social importance but restructure them, and increase divestment in others (or even
privatize them). Several interesting suggestions focusing on ‘how to’ for divestment
have already started pouring in for the new government (refer page 24 for one such
suggestion).

The profitability of Indian PSUs, most of which were plagued with project delays,

PSUs would be SBI, ONGC, BHEL, NTPC and BPCL.

Number of PSUs in India


In India, PSUs have grown considerably in number and size
863 An Independent India set up public sector undertakings (PSUs) in the first five-year
plan, primarily with the objective to achieve self-sufficiency and sustainable
economic growth. Since then, both state and central PSUs have grown in number
277
and size. Central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) have grown from just five, with a
total investment of INR0.3b in 1951, to 277, with a total investment of INR8,506b in
Central State

Performance has deteriorated in last five years


However, profitability and growth have bottomed-out

 PSUs’ performance deteriorated in the second half of the last decade. Over FY09-14,
their aggregate sales and PAT grew at just a third of the growth rates achieved during
FY04-09.
 More than one-third (34%) of the CPSEs were loss-making in 2013 versus 27% in 2008.
 However, profitability and growth have bottomed-out. This is getting reflected in both
consensus and our estimates for the next couple of years.

Several PSUs have underperformed


There were 79 loss-making While some PSUs have performed well, several have underperformed in terms of
central PSUs (FY13); and growth, profitability and meeting social objectives. The underperformance was
215 loss-making state PSUs largely driven by (i) economic slowdown, (ii) inflexible structure, (iii) excessive
(FY10) government control and intervention, (iv) misuse of PSUs’ finances to meet the
government’s fiscal objectives, (iv) lack of preparedness post the financial crisis of
2008-09, and (v) uncompetitive operations.

Stark contrast in performance within PSUs


However, there is a stark contrast in performance within the PSUs. While PSUs
operating in the Resource and Utilities spaces have been competitive, Consumer-
oriented and Manufacturing PSUs have continuously underperformed.

Consumer-centric and Manufacturing PSUs have consistently underperformed.


This is manifested in lower sales growth and profitability of PSUs in Telecom and
Airlines as compared to other PSUs and their respective sector peers. Telecom PSUs
witnessed sales de-growth of 6% during FY04-14. PSUs in these sectors are loss
making, with significant negative average PAT margins during FY04-14 (Telecom: -
34%, Autos: -51%).

Resource and Utilities PSUs are more competitive primarily due to their
monopolistic situation and high entry barriers (capital cost, regulations), resulting in
better financial performance.

Profit concentration is significant among PSUs. The top-10 profit-making PSUs


contribute nearly two-third of the total profits of profit-making central PSUs. The
top-10 loss-making PSUs contribute a whopping 87% to the total loss of loss-making
central PSUs. The contrast in performance across sectors is clearly visible, with most
of the top profit-making PSUs belonging to the Resources and Utilities space, and
most loss-making PSUs being from Services and Manufacturing.

On BCG matrix, all resources, banks and capital goods PSUs figures as “stars” (high
market share in high growth sectors) indicating that they are doing well and offer
great opportunities. However, services-centric and light manufacturing related PSUs
figures as “question marks” (low market share in high growth sectors) signifying a
need to either revive or privatize/disinvest in such PSUs. Heavy manufacturing,
which includes railway components, defense, ship building, etc, is an exception.
These account for a large chunk of the current non-oil imports in India. Thus,
supporting this segment through opening up of the FDI in key areas (like defense,
railways, etc) is critical. We believe that PSUs stand to benefit given the already
established infrastructure in several cases, which can be scaled up / modernized
quickly.

 Corporate India is replete with examples of transformation in companies’ fortunes


following leadership changes. This should apply to politics as well, and hence, to PSUs.
 As Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr Narendra Modi transformed a number of state PSUs
by giving them more authority and autonomy in operations.
 With Mr Modi as Prime Minister, the capital markets are now looking for similar
transformative measures for the CPSEs.

Leadership changes often transform companies’ performance


We had argued in our earlier India Strategy note that change in management and its
impact on underlying performance is as relevant to politics (and hence, PSUs, as
they are controlled by the government) as it is to corporate India. Changes in senior
leadership of a company bring about changes in its goals and direction. Recent
history suggests that changes in senior leadership of underperforming companies
have given a renewed thrust to their operations, and hence, stock performance. A
few examples:

 Mr P J Nayak took over as MD of Axis Bank in January 2000. Since then, the
stock has delivered annualized returns of ~48%.
 Mr Romesh Sobti took over as CEO of IndusInd Bank in February 2008. Since
then, the stock has provided annualized returns of ~32%.
 Mr N Chandresekaran took over the reins of TCS in October 2009. Since then,
the stock has provided annualized returns of ~31%.
 Mr Bhaskar Bhat took over as MD of Titan in April 2002. Since then, the stock
has delivered annualized returns of ~45%.
 Mr Punit Goenka took over as MD of Zee in October 2009. Since then, the stock
has provided annualized returns of ~21%.

This should apply to politics as well, and hence, to PSUs


Similarly, we believe a change in the Indian government, which was marked by poor
governance, widespread corruption and policy paralysis under the UPA regime,
bodes well for the market. As Chief Minister of Gujarat, Mr Narendra Modi
transformed a number of state PSUs. The capital markets are now looking for similar
transformative measures for the central PSUs.

As Chief Minister of Gujarat, Gujarat is the only state with profit-making state PSUs among the top 10 states in
Mr Narendra Modi terms of capital employed. Gujarat PSUs are also among the most productive,

Restructure or retire?
Expect a mix of both; proposing a ‘SECURE’ framework for revival

 Emphasis on professional restructuring of PSUs is clearly visible in some recent


comments from the new government.
 We propose a ‘SECURE’ framework to turn around PSUs’ performance. However,
divestment would also be a necessity to further the development agenda.
 We expect the government to keep the PSUs of strategic and social importance but
restructure them, and increase divestment in others (or even privatize them).

With the revival of Gujarat PSUs and the man behind it, Mr Narendra Modi now at
the center, the debate has opened on whether the government’s stake in Indian
PSUs would be divested or would the government try to revive and restructure PSUs
to make them viable business entities. We expect the government to follow a dual
policy – keep the PSUs of strategic and social importance but restructure them, and
increase divestment in others (or even privatize them).

Key challenges faced by PSUs


Indian PSUs face unprecedented political interference. The government looks at
PSUs not as for-profit businesses, but merely as organizations with a socio-political
agenda, thus hurting the interests of minority shareholders. This manifests itself
through (i) high subsidy burden (in case of OMCs), (ii) payment of jumbo dividends
(most PSUs) instead of investing excess cash in value enhancing opportunities, (iii)
conduct of operations (awarding contracts to private sector, etc), (iv) talent and
compensation policies, and (v) continued underachievement of disinvestment
targets.

PSUs face unprecedented PSUs have been bereft of proper autonomy and authority to make investments and
challenges compared with acquisitions both in India and overseas. They are required to follow convoluted
their private counterparts procedures and face protracted delays, which limits their operational and strategic
due to excessive political decision-making. While Maharatna and Navratna PSUs have been given some
interference
autonomy to make investment decisions, they face substantial interference in
operations, including recruitment, board and key management appointments, etc.

PSUs lag their private sector peers in talent management, including (i) attracting and
retaining right talent, (ii) providing adequate compensation based on meritocracy,
and (iii) equipping employees with right skills and technology.

Restructuring of PSUs to make them viable: A possibility


The new NDA government’s pro-privatization stance, and more importantly, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi’s focus on reviving PSUs through professional makeover
and greater autonomy should drive improvement in PSUs’ performance. The
management teams of the PSUs too are optimistic and are waiting in anticipation.
Emphasis on professional restructuring of PSUs is clearly visible in some recent
comments from the new government.

Maharatna, Navratna and Miniratna: Do we need such classification?


The Department of Public Enterprises confers the status of Maharatna, Navratna
and Miniratna to various PSUs. The classification is based on the size and quality of
past earnings and confers varying degrees of autonomy. The question is, “Do we
need such classification?” Curbing the autonomy of Miniratna or unclassified PSUs
based on past performance would, in our view, further restrict their potential
turnaround. We believe the government should focus setting up SLAs (including
shareholder value creation) and monitoring mechanism, and let the board and
management of individual PSUs undertake day-to-day management including
investing and financing activities.

To address India’s fiscal deficit and improve economic efficiencies, we believe it is


imperative for the government to urgently divest more. Focusing on restructuring
and revival of PSUs may not be enough, as the government would need funds to
push economic growth. We expect the government to continue divesting in
profitable and core PSUs while retaining its majority holding (e.g., in PSU banks,
ONGC, Coal India, GMDC, NTPC, PowerGrid, etc). It could sell significant stake in (or
even privatize) PSUs engaged in non-core areas such as Autos and Healthcare, and
where government holding is low and revival is difficult.

Right to disinvest: Masterstroke suggestion


Swaminathan Aiyar in an open letter to Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, has made a
masterstroke suggestion to the legislative bottleneck plaguing multiple sectors.
Consider the following:

 Problem #1 – Oil Companies: Vajpayee government sought to privatize


government-owned oil companies (HPCL, BPCL). But these had been
nationalized through legislation, and the courts said the government couldn’t
sell a majority stake without fresh legislation. The Vajpayee government lacked
a majority in the Rajya Sabha, and so dropped the whole idea.
 Problem #2 – Coal Sector: Coal was nationalized by law in the 1970s. Courts
held that new legislation was required to divest more than half the government
stake in Coal India, or allow any private mines save for captive consumption. For
want a majority in both houses, neither the NDA nor UPA governments could
push forward on this.
 Problem #3 – PSU Banks: Without fresh legislation, the government cannot
drop its stake in nationalized banks (which account for 70% of the banking
system) below 50%. Indian banks must raise massive equity to keep lending in
coming years. Can the government find lakhs of crores from its budget to
recapitalize public sector banks?
 Problem #4 – Education System: Court decisions mandate that no state
government can approve a private university by executive decree: this needs
fresh legislation, with all the red tape, politics and corruption involved. Private
universities are a badly needed form of education reform, but the legislative
requirement means they are hamstrung.

What is the solution? – A new omnibus law giving government right to


disinvest, including right to privatize
The government should not see these as separate issues. Tackle them all in one go
by enacting a new omnibus law giving the government the right to disinvest by
executive action, overriding existing laws. In one sweep, it will allow government to
sell majority stakes in any government companies, raising resources for the budget
and infrastructure. It will let government denationalize coal and rapidly kick-start
new private universities. It will let public sector banks raise fresh capital on the
markets, reducing the government’s stake below 50%. Time is of the essence. The
government lacks a majority in the Rajya Sabha. If a Bill passes the Lok Sabha but
fails in the Rajya Sabha, the government can convene a joint session to pass it, and
the government now has an overall majority. But this is a politically painful and
time-consuming process, which government cannot wish to go through for every
economic reform. It’s surely preferable to have one omnibus Bill giving the
government the right to lower its shareholding in any government companies to any
level it pleases. This will facilitate rapid reforms in many areas, including coal.

Profitability at bottom; valuations attractive


Identifying likely winners in the PSU space

 The profitability of Indian PSUs, most of which were plagued with project delays,
policy paralysis and high debt, is almost at half the FY04 levels.
 However, we believe the worst is behind and the new government’s policy actions
could lead to a revival in their fortunes.
 In this backdrop, we identify likely winners among the listed PSUs.

The worst is behind, in our view


The profitability of Indian PSUs is almost at half the FY04 levels, with PAT margin at
6% (against 9.5% in FY04) and RoE at ~10% (against a healthy 18-20% in FY04).
However, we believe that the worst case scenario has played out for PSUs, which
were plagued with various issues including project delays, policy paralysis and high
debt.

Profitability of PSUs impacted much more than private peers in last five years

Lower valuations led by lack of Board control, lower profitability


PSU valuations have been at a discount to the broader markets, primarily due to (1)
greater operational and strategic control by the government, (2) lower profitability
in the recent years, and (3) higher dividend payout to meet the government’s fiscal
requirements, irrespective of the PSUs’ reinvestment needs.

Even in sectors like Mining and Utilities, where PSUs are market leaders, valuations
are lower than private peers, as reported profitability is not a reflection of true
business profitability, in our view. We expect the new government to focus on
improvement in PSUs’ operations and grant greater autonomy to their Boards of
Management. This could help revive their return ratios and lead to re-rating.

Is prevailing market price a reflection of true intrinsic value?


PSU valuation has always been a challenging task for the government during the
divestment process. Often, the prevailing profitability of a PSU does not reflect the
true profitability of its underlying business. This is because, unlike a private business
entity, the PSU’s primary focus is not on profit. PSUs serve a larger social goal.

We believe that investors should not use the prevailing market valuation of a PSU as
a benchmark. Instead, the focus should be on discovery of the true value of the
underlying business, which will be achieved with reduction in government control.

Increasing gap between PSUs and market P/E … … so is the case with P/B

Profitability to improve with right policy decisions; will drive re-rating


A BJP-led government had presided over the early divestment and privatization
drive in 1998-2004. With the BJP-led NDA once again in power,
privatization/divestment could gather steam. However, given the turnaround of the
Gujarat PSUs, we believe the government could first resurrect the profitability of the
PSUs before opting for divestment.

If the right policy decisions are taken, PSUs’ profitability should improve, making a
Our top PSU picks include strong case for a re-rating. Prominent PSUs that we believe will see a sharp upturn
BHEL, BPCL, SBI, NTPC and in profitability, and consequently, a significant re-rating include BHEL, BPCL, SBI,
ONGC NTPC and ONGC.

Best placed for economic recovery


Strong liability franchise |Healthy capitalization
Stock Info  In FY09-14, State Bank of India’s (SBIN) EPS CAGR was flat due to a) rising stress
Bloomberg SBIN IN levels, b) continued high one-off employee provisions and c) moderate balance
Equity Shares (m) 746.6 sheet growth and fees. Despite the 45%+ increase in balance sheet size, market
52-Week Range (INR) 2,834/1,453 capitalization is still 10% below the peak levels of November 2010.
1, 6, 12 Rel. Per (%) 18/26/3  Improvement in economic growth augurs well from growth and asset quality
M.Cap. (INR b) 2,013.3 perspective. With a 10bp decline in credit cost and 10bp improvement in NIM,
M.Cap. (USD b) 33.9 RoA/RoE will improve by 11bp/180bp+ and earnings will see an upgrade of 13%.
 RoE is expected to improve from 11% to 15%+ in FY16E. Better-than-expected
growth can provide significant upside.
Financial Snapshot (INR b) What went wrong in five years
Y/E March 2015E 2016E 2017E  Moderating economic growth and fall in new investment demand led to
NII (INR b) 577.1 674.2 814.9 slowdown of loan growth and significant rise in stress levels in the system.
OP (INR b) 392.0 469.9 599.3  Elevated inflation level and volatility in INR resulted in tight liquidity
NP (INR b) 159.6 201.8 264.1 conditions and high interest rate, further accentuating stress in the system.
EPS (INR) * 275.1 348.8 459.3  AS-15 related employee provisions led to significant hit on net worth
EPS Gr. (%) 44.9 26.8 31.7 (~INR80b) and profitability.
BV/Sh.(INR)* 2,110 2,394 2,770
What needs to be done
P/E (x) 9.0 7.1 5.4  Resolution of bottlenecks created in infrastructure space and revival of
P/BV (x)* 1.2 1.0 0.9 growth would not only provide opportunity for loan growth but also reduce
RoE (%) 13.5 15.3 17.6 stress assets and credit cost.
RoA (%) 0.8 0.9 1.0  Focus on plucking the low hanging fruits like operating leverage, fees
*consolidated improvement and improvement in CA balances.
 Shareholding of GoI in PSU banks to be brought below 51%. Access to
Shareholding pattern (% ) foreign capital for PSU banks could be raised from the current cap of 20%.
As on Mar-14 Dec-13 Mar-13 What the bank did in last five years
Promoter 58.6 62.3 62.3  SBIN’s earnings CAGR over the last five years has been at ~4%, led by rising
Dom. Inst 20.8 17.9 16.0 stress levels (GNPAs at 5% v/s 2.9% in FY09), which not only led to high
Foreign 12.0 11.5 13.3 credit cost (1.2% v/s average of 0.4% in FY05-08) but also impacted NIM.
Others 8.5 8.2 8.4  Liability franchise continues to be enviable with SBIN’s SA market share
(24% standalone) and CASA ratio being the best in the industry at 43%.
What is the underlying potential
Stock Performance (1-year)  SBIN being the market leader reflects the state of Indian economy. Revival
in economic growth is expected to translate into better loan growth
opportunities and improvement in asset quality.
 One-off employee related provisions are behind and new management’s
focus to reduce overheads will drive strong operating leverage in the next
growth cycle.
Valuation and view with sensitivity on target price
 SBIN trades at 1.2x P/BV (LPA) and with the economy bottoming out and
reform-oriented actions, we expect a re-rating in the stock.
 Core operating profitability and earnings are likely to have bottomed out in
FY14. We expect earnings CAGR of 30%+ over FY15-16E. Maintain Buy.

High ad-hoc subsidy led non-remunerative profitability


Adequate profitability would revive ONGC’s prospects aided by
exploration focus and aggressive overseas acquisitions

USD65b (@P/E of ~10x) v/s current MCap of USD57b.
Valuation and views with sensitivity on TP
 Every USD1/bbl increase in oil net realization increases ONGC’s EPS by
~INR0.8/sh implying INR8/sh increase in fair value @P/E of 10x.
 Every USD1/mmbtu increase in gas price increases ONGC’s EPS by
~INR2.7/sh implying INR27/sh @P/E of 10x.
Financials and valuations
 Likely doubling of gas price, lowering of subsidy to give remunerative oil
realization will help drive earnings growth of ONGC.
 The stock trades at 10x FY16E EPS of INR42.7. Buy.

ONGC

Company description
ONGC, a Fortune 500 company, is an eminent exploration and production (E&P)
company in India. With over 300 discoveries, it has established in-place reserves of
6.9b ton of oil equivalent (btoe), with ultimate reserves of 2.4btoe. It currently
accounts for ~68% of India's domestic oil and gas production. Through its 100%
subsidiary ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), it has equity investments in E&P blocks in 16
countries. Downstream presence is marked through its subsidiary (71.6% stake),
MRPL.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 63%, we believe the medium term focus of the
government with respect to ONGC will be towards improving the profitability.
Further divestment, in our view would be after 2-3 years, when the expected
profitability increase is achieved.

base (leading to lower costs/higher operational efficiencies) etc.
Foreign 16.4 15.9 15.0
 Attempts are being made to broad-base revenue in segments like
Others 4.1 4.5 4.9
Transportation (Greenfield unit for Mainline Electric Multiple Units,
expanding locos capacity), renewable (solar manufacturing), Power T&D
(HVDC, STATCON, 765kva transformers, GIS etc).
Stock Performance (1-year) What is the underlying potential
 BHEL has meaningful operating leverage both at P&L (staff costs at 18.2% of
revenue in FY15E v/s 11.4% in FY12) and B/S (core NWC stable at ~200-210
days, while reported NWC at 154 days in FY14 v/s negative 24 days in FY09).
Valuation and views with sensitivity on target price
 Maintain Buy with a target price of INR310/sh (20x FY16E). BHEL is strongly
exposed to any cyclical uptick and we estimate that 1gw incremental
revenue v/s estimates can translate into a potential earnings upgrade of
24% in FY16E.
Financials and valuations
 Earnings CAGR of 40% over FY15E-17E.

Poor demand, Stiff regulations impact performance


Higher PLF, possible inorganic growth key trigger to watch out for
Stock Info
Bloomberg NTPC IN  NTPC is formidable player in Power sector in India and accounts for ~18% of
Equity Shares (m) 8,245.5 India’s installed capacity (as at March 2014) but ~24% of total generation.
52-Week Range (INR) 169/111  Poor demand from DISCOMs led coal plant PLF to come down by 10ppt over
1, 6, 12 Rel. Per (%) 11/-9/-31 FY09-14. Improving demand scenario to bode well. Capacity under construction
M.Cap. (INR b) 1,347.7 represents ~50% growth on installed base.
M.Cap. (USD b) 22.7
 Valuations are trough. Reversal to mean could lead to TP of INR203/sh, upside of
24%. 5% higher PLF above 85% to drive 5% EPS upgrade, upside thus exists.

Financial Snapshot (INR b) What went wrong in the five years?


Y/E March 2015E 2016E 2017E  NTPC missed 11th plan capacity addition target by ~12GW vs original plan.

86% by FY17E. Access to 5b tons of coal reserve.

 NTPC trades at PER of 12x on FY16E basis, vs LT peak PER of 26x and 10-year
average of 16x. 15x PER on current FY16E EPS would mean TP of INR203/sh
 Rise in PLF would be a key upside trigger. 5% PLF leads to increase in EPS by
INR0.7/sh increase or INR10/sh increase in TP (@15x PER).
Financials and valuations
 Earnings CAGR of 15% over FY15-17E, Buy with TP of INR187/sh.

NTPC

Company description
NTPC is the largest power generator in India with Installed capacity stands at
43.1GW and contribute ~30% of generation of the electricity in India. This includes
17 coal based and 7 gas based stations, located across the country. In addition under
JVs, 7 stations are coal based & another station uses naptha/LNG as fuel and 7
renewable energy projects.

NTPC ranked 384th in the ‘2013, Forbes Global 2000’ ranking of the World’s biggest
companies. NTPC became a “Maharatna” company in May, 2010, one of the only
four companies to be awarded this status. The company has set a target to have an
installed power generating capacity of 128GW by the year 2032. It aims to add
14GW in 12th plan v/s ~9GW addition in 11th plan period. It has also ventured into
related areas like coal mining, distribution, transmission, and gas exploration.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 75%, we believe the medium term focus of the
government with respect to NTPC will be towards improving the profitability.
Further divestment, in our view would be after 2-3 years, when the expected
profitability increase is achieved.

BPCL’s GRM increases its SA EBITDA by 18% and EPS by INR3.5/sh.
Financials and valuations
 Lowering of subsidy to give timely realization, along with some marketing
margins in diesel will give boost to the earnings of BPCL.
 The stock trades at 11.8x FY16E EPS of INR45.3. Buy.

BPCL

Company description
A Fortune 500 company, BPCL has interests in oil refining and marketing of
petroleum products. It is the third largest refining company in India with a capacity
of 12mmtpa at its Mumbai facility and 9.5mmtpa at Kochi. BPCL has majority stake
(63%) in Numaligarh Refineries, a 3mmtpa refinery in the north-east. BPCL has
investments in IGL (22.5%) and Petronet LNG (12.5%). BPCL is a public sector firm in
which the government of India holds 54.93%.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 54.9%, we believe the medium term focus of the
government with respect to BPCL will be towards improving the profitability.
Further divestment, in our view would be after 2-3 years, when the expected
profitability increase is achieved.

Coal India

Company description
Coal India Limited (CIL) is a leading public sector undertaking engaged into coal
mining in India and is working on establishing its footprint globally through
MoUs/acquisition route. CIL operates through its 9 wholly owned subsidiaries, of
which 1 subsidiary is engaged in exploration and feasibility study analysis. CIL has
total resources of 64.3b tonnes and proved reserves of 52.4b tonnes, of which
extractable reserves stand at 21.7b tonnes.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 90%, there is a fair possibility of offer for sale. However,
given contentious issues of lower volume growth and cost push, we believe the near
term focus would be to first put COAL on growth path. This will also lead to
improved sentiments and valuation to conduct OFS.

 SAIL has five integrated steel plants in different locations in east and central
parts of India. Each site has sufficient land for future expansions.
Stock Performance (1-year)  These advantages can be capitalized to increase capacity 2-3x through
Brownfield expansion of steel plant and iron ore mines.
Valuation and views with sensitivity on target price
 Saleable steel volumes are expected to post a CAGR of 12% over FY14-17E.
EBITDA per ton is expected to clock a CAGR of 19% to USD96/t due to the
benefit of operating leverage. Thus, EBITDA will post a CAGR of 33% to
INR98.4b during the same period.
 Every 1 USD/t change in steel revenue realization translates into EPS
upgrade of 2-2.5%.
Financials and valuations
 The stock is valued based on FY16E EV/EBITDA of 6.5x and book value of
capital work in progress (CWIP).

Company description
Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), a public sector undertaking (PSU), is the largest
steel producer in India, with ~20% market share. Its current capacity of 13mtpa is
vertically integrated from mines to finished steel and is spread across four plants in
the mineral-rich belt of Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Jharkhand. SAIL is totally self-
sufficient in iron ore (captive mines). However, it has to depend on purchase of
coking coal and a large share is imported. It has a wide range of products and is a
large producer of special steel.

Disinvestment timeline
With the Government’s stake at 80%, we believe its near term focus with respect to
SAIL will be to improve profitability. Further divestment will depend on market
conditions.

Subsidy; gas pipeline underutilization impact returns


Higher gas availability and low/nil subsidy to improve utilization and

Stock Info
Bloomberg GAIL IN  GAIL’s last 5 year subsidy payout of INR112b (46% of 5-year capex) and
Equity Shares (m) 1,268.5 underutilization of new pipelines has impacted reinvestment and return ratios.

average PAT of ~INR37b, thereby significantly impacting the bottom-line.
 New pipelines are underutilized due to non-availability of incremental gas.

Others 2.3 2.5 2.8
 Efficient E&P policies, along with favorable gas prices shall increase pipeline
utilizations and in turn profitability.
Stock Performance (1-year)
Valuation and views with sensitivity on TP
 If FY15 subsidy is nil (v/s current estimation of INR14b) then GAIL EPS will
increase by INR7 (18% upside). However this could be negated by lowering
domestic gas allocation for petchem and LPG production leading to higher
feedstock prices as it will have to be replaced by high cost LNG.
Financials and valuations
 Medium term gas headwinds impacting profitability is a concern and low/nil
subsidy will be a respite. Higher LPG and Petchem prices necessary to
neutralize likely increase in the feedstock prices.
 The stock trades at 13x FY16E EPS of INR33.4. Neutral.

Company description
GAIL is a major gas transmission, processing, distribution and marketing company in
India, with interests in gas distribution, petrochemicals, LPG, and telecom. It owns
~8,500km of natural gas pipelines, two LPG transmission pipelines of 1,900km,
500KTA petchem capacity, ~1.4mt LPG/other hydrocarbons capacity and over
13,000km of optical fiber cable network. GAIL is also involved in city gas distribution,
E&P and power businesses through its joint ventures.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 56.1%, we believe the medium term focus of the
government with respect to GAIL will be towards improving the profitability.
Further divestment, in our view would be after 2-3 years, when the expected
profitability increase is achieved.

Company description
Fortune-500 company, IOC is the largest refining and marketing company in India. It
operates 8 refineries (incl BRPL) with a capacity of 54.2mmtpa and has a 52% stake
in CPCL (11.5mmt refining capacity). The company controls a refining capacity of
65.7 mmtpa. It has a pipeline network of >10,300km (62mmtpa capacity), has
22,372 petrol/diesel outlets and has interests in petrochemicals and upstream oil
and gas. IOC is a Public Sector Company with 78.9% Government stake.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 68.6%, we believe the medium term focus of the
government with respect to IOCL will be towards improving the profitability.
Further divestment, in our view would be after 2-3 years, when the expected
profitability increase is achieved.

NMDC

Company description
NMDC is India's largest iron ore producer, with a capacity of 36mtpa. It produces
~30-32mtpa of iron ore from four mining complexes in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka.
In addition to its iron ore operations, NMDC has a diamond mine at Panna (Madhya
Pradesh) and owns a 10.5mw wind power plant in Karnataka. In July 2010, Sponge
Iron India, which has a small sponge iron capacity of 60ktpa, was merged with
NMDC. It is investing INR155b over the next five years to expand the iron ore
production to 50mtpa and forward integrate by setting up a 3mpta steel plant in
Chhattisgarh and 1.2mtpa pellet plant in Karnataka.

Disinvestment timeline
With Government’s stake at 80%, we believe its near term focus with respect to
NMDC will be to increase production and address logistic bottlenecks. Further
divestment will depend on market condition.

Oil India

Company description
Oil India (OIL), established in 1959, is a 'Navratna' stateowned company, engaged in
exploration, development, production and transportation of crude oil and natural
gas in India. OIL has 2P reserves of 944mmboe, ~94% of these located in the north-
east. It owns 1,157km of common carrier cross-country crude oil pipeline, and the
660km product pipeline and the 192km pipeline to Numaligarh refinery.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 67.6%, we believe the medium term focus of the
government with respect to OINL will be towards improving the profitability.
Further divestment, in our view would be after 2-3 years, when the expected
profitability increase is achieved.

Power Grid Corporation

Company description
PGCIL is a central transmission utility (CTU) with a mini-navratna status, which owns
and operates most of India's interstate and inter-regional power transmission
system. It has been identified as a nodal agency by the Government to set up inter-
regional transmission capacity in India.

Disinvestment timeline
With government stake at 58%, we believe that offer for sale possibility is limited;
more so given that PGCIL may need growth capital depending on the business
outlook.
