Investment Thesis
India has set for itself ambitious targets of investments in the power sector, in view
of the significant power deficit and sustaining the economic growth momentum.
The momentum of capacity addition is expected to improve in the later half of the
Eleventh Plan and continue at a higher rate during the Twelfth Plan, with large capacity
additions lined up by the private sector.
Investments of INR3.5 trillion and INR4.7 trillion are expected in the power sector
during the eleventh and twelfth five-year plan periods, respectively. Capacity addition
of 54,000MW is expected during the eleventh plan and ~1,00,000MW is planned for
the twelfth plan periods. With huge power plants coming up, the need for transmission
will drive demand for transformers. Significant opportunities are present in 400 Kv,
220 Kv and 132 Kv classes; ~33,878 ckm of 400KV, 26,510 ckm of 220 Kv, 19,708
ckm of 132 Kv and 8,671 ckm of 66 Kv transmission lines are expected to be added by
the end of the eleventh plan period, which would need step-up/down transformers.
Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) plans to increase interregional transmission
capacity (national grid) from 16,450 MW in 2007 to 37,150 MW by 2012, a CAGR
of 18% over 2007-12. Moreover, power sector reforms such as APDRP and RGGVY
have thrown up opportunities for the industry and TRIL.
Approximately 97,456 MVA of transformer capacity was added during 1983-87 and
238,150 MVA during 1987-91. As average life of a transformer is 25 years they are
expected to be replaced during the eleventh and twelfth plan periods.
Thus, significant capacity addition during the eleventh and twelfth plan periods,
focus on transmission and distribution along with replacement demand will present
significant opportunities for Transformer manufacturers.
We initiate coverage on Transformers & Rectifiers India Ltd (TRIL), and Voltamp
Transformers Ltd (VTL).
TRIL: At CMP of INR415, TRIL is trading at a P/E of 10x its FY11E and 8.9x
its FY12E earnings. Looking at opportunities that lie in the power sector, TRILs
capabilities in 400Kv class category, its annual capacity of 23,200 MVA and strong
order book we assign a P/E multiple of 10x to its FY12E earnings and recommend
a Buy at Decline on the stock with a price target of INR 468.
VTL: As significant portion of balance sheet constitutes of investments, we have
valued core (transformer) business separately and then added investments per share.
We have assigned a P/E of 10x to Voltamps core (transformers) business earnings
of INR 70 (FY12E) to arrive at value per share of INR 700. Considering investments
per share of INR351 (FY12E) and core business value of INR700/share, we initiate
coverage on Voltamp Transformer Limited with a BUY recommendation and a
price target of INR1051.

SECTOR REPORT
Transformer Industry
Overview
The power sector value chain comprises generation, transmission and distribution
(T&D). Electricity generated at a power plant is transmitted to the nearest grid via
step-up transformers and then to the state grid (via step-up or step-down transformers).
Then it is transmitted to a power substation via step-down transformers. Finally,
distribution transformers are used to transmit power from the sub-transmission point
to end consumers.

Power transformers account for 70-75% of the total installed capacity while
distribution transformer accounts for the remaining 20-25%. In the power transformer
segment, step-down transformers account for 75-80% of the total installed capacity
while step-up transformers account for the rest.
Demand Supply
Demand
Installed transformer capacity on the grid has increased at a 6% CAGR to
1,019,283 MVA in 2007 from 467,517 MVA in 1994. Power generation capacity
grew to 132,329 MW in 2007, from 76,754 MW in 1994. Thus, for addition of
each MW in generation, ~7 MVA of transformer capacity was added on the grid.
MVA per MW increased from 6 MVA per MW in 1994 to 7.7 MVA per MW in
2007 and is expected to increase further given the Government of Indias (GoI)
increased focus on transmission and distribution to reduce transmission losses.

Currently, BHEL and Areva T&D are undertaking capacity expansion of 25,000
MVA and 15,000 MVA, respectively, which would be commissioned by the end of
the eleventh five year plan. Going forward, it appears unlikely that companies would
undertake new projects given that significant capacity has built up in the industry.
Order Book Revenue visibility of 6 to 9 months
Most transformer manufacturers have a strong order book, with revenue visibility
of 6 to 9 months. Companies such as TRIL and EMCO, which have doubled
capacity to 20,000 MVA and above, have been successful attracting in incremental
orders.

Over the past three years, the industry has recorded strong sales growth CAGR
of more than 30% back by demand and rise in commodity prices.
Over the years operating margins have also improved owing to strong demand
and limited supply (as capacity expansion plans were under construction during
the period).
The industry is characterized by healthy return ratios. Players such as Voltamp
have outperformed the industry with ROCE and RONW in excess of 40% owing
to focus on the industrial segment. Voltamp sold customized products to industrial
clients, which fetched better margins. It also enjoyed lower working capital
requirement on account of faster recovery of dues from industrial clients.

Capex
TRIL undertook capex of INR700 million for the 16,000 MVA green field facility
in Moraiya. The project was primarily funded through proceeds from an IPO during
FY08. TRIL started the facility in May 2009; with this, the company has more than
tripled its production capacity to 23,200 MVA p.a. TRIL has no further capex plans
in the near term.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Capability to manufacture 400 & above Kv class transformers: TRIL is one
of the few players that can manufacture transformers of 400 Kv & above. The
Moraiya facility is well equipped and has a capacity to produce and test up to765
Kv transformers. So far, in 400KV, the company has supplied two transformers
to LANCO.
Particulars
Emco Ltd
Bharat Bijlee Ltd
Indo Tech Transformers Ltd
Voltamp Transformers Ltd
Vijai Electricals
TRIL
Power Transformers
Up to 220 Kv
220 Kv to 400 Kv
The company has also developed in-house design and engineering capabilities. It
has approval from utilities for manufacturing power transformers of up to 400 kv
without any external technological support. Recently, it implemented a LANCO
order with in-house technology.
SEBs account for 70% of revenue
TRIL primarily supplies transformers to SEBs which contribute to ~70% of its
total revenue; industrial users account for the rest (Annexure III- TRIL Client List).
With SEBs as its customers, TRIL is insulated from fluctuation in raw material
prices to an extent, as owing to the built-in price variation clause (Annexure IV
Price Variation Formulae), it is passed on to the SEBs. Moreover, the company
is also protected from any slowdown in investments in the private sector.
Negligible debt and investments in liquid funds
The gestation period to manufacture a transformer is 3 to 6 months; this, coupled
with debtor days of more than 120 (as majority clients are SEBs) result in a higher
working capital requirement. In a working capital-intensive business, funding and
working capital management are important success factors. TRIL has INR761.7
(FY09) million in current investments and a low D/E ratio of 0.2, which enable
the company to fund its working capital requirements.
Second-largest facility: TRIL has a production capacity of 23,200 MVA, secondlargest after Crompton Greaves. Thus, the company should be able to explore
significant growth opportunities.
Strong order book: TRIL has a strong orderbook of INR3,732million (~0.85x
TTM sales), which provides revenue visibility for six to nine months.
Weaknesses
Significant capacity build-up to impact realization: Over the past five years,
owing to the demand-supply mismatch, transformer manufacturers have recorded
higher realization and profitability. However, significant capacity has been built
up in the industry. Transformer capacity has increased to ~2,00,000 MVA from
~1,25,000 MVA in FY06. In addition, ~40,000 MVA is expected to be operational
by the end of the eleventh plan period. Thus, considering this and the competition,
realizations are expected to drop and in turn impact the growth of the company.
Transformer Industry
ACMIIL

SECTOR REPORT
Dependence on imports for CRGO (Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Steel): CRGO
constitutes ~35% of the raw material cost. The component is not manufactured in
India due to high manufacturing cost. Indian manufacturers including TRIL are
thus exposed to possible constraints on timely availability of CRGO.
Opportunities
Significant capacity addition during the eleventh and twelfth plan periods:
Capacity addition of 54,000MW is expected during the eleventh plan and
~1,00,000MW is planned for the twelfth plan periods. With huge power plants
coming up, the need for bulk transmission will drive demand for higher class
transformers.
Focus on transmission and distribution:
Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) plans to increase interregional
transmission capacity (national grid) from 16,450 MW in 2007 to 37,150 MW
by 2012, a CAGR of 18% over 2007-12. Moreover, power sector reforms such as
APDRP and RGGVY have thrown up opportunities for the industry and TRIL.
Replacement demand:
Approximately 97,456 MVA of transformer capacity was added during 1983-87
and 238,150 MVA during 1987-91. As average life of a transformer is 25 years,
transformers are expected to be replaced during the eleventh and twelfth plan
periods.
Threats
Severe competition: MNCs such as ABB and Areva T&D have strong presence
in the Indian market. In addition, ten to twelve domestic manufacturers as well as
un-organized players are competing for orders from SEBs, utilities and industrial
clients. This makes the market very competitive, especially since the orders
normally are awarded to bidders with a high technical score and the lowest bid.
Financials
Net sales
TRILs net sales grew at a 49% CAGR to INR4,305 million in FY09, from INR1,308.3
million in FY06, driven by capacity addition and healthy realization on the back of
rise in commodity prices.

Nature of contracts
VTL primarily supplies to industrial clients, which contribute to ~80 to 90% of its
total revenue. Industrial orders are at fixed prices and thus expose the company to
movement in raw material prices. However, to protect itself from fluctuating raw
material prices, VTL hedges with the help of forward contracts.
Capex
The company undertook capex of INR261.7 million for the 4,000MVA Greenfield
facility in Vadadla. The project was primarily funded through internal accruals. It
incurred expenditure of INR143.8 million in FY09 and the rest has been spent in
FY10. The facility started operations in November 2009; with this, the company
has a production capacity of 13,000MVA p.a. VTL has no further capex plans in the
near term.
SWOT Analysis
Strength
Efficient working capital management and funding:
Funding and working capital management are important factors for a transformer
company. VTL primarily supplies to industrial clients, and as a result, working
capital being blocked in the form of debtors is considerably low compared with
peers. Debtor days for VTL are ~53 versus 75-120 days for peers.

The company also has INR1,352 million (FY09) as current investments and zero
debt, which helps fund working capital requirement.
Diverse client base
VTL has a diverse industrial client base and it is not dependent on any particular
industry. It supplies to various industries such as petrochemicals, metals, cement,
real estate and others. No sector contributes more than 15% to its revenue. In
FY09, its top 10 clients accounted for 39% of its revenue.

Weaknesses
Significant capacity build-up to impact realization: Over the past five years,
owing to the demand-supply mismatch, transformer manufacturers have recorded
higher realization and profitability. However, significant capacity has been built
up in the industry. Transformer capacity has increased to ~2,00,000MVA from
~1,25,000MVA in FY06. In addition, ~40,000MVA is expected to be operational
by the end of the eleventh plan period. Thus, given this and the competition,
realizations are expected to drop and in turn impact the growth of the company.
Dependence on industrial clients: As VTL primarily supplies to industrial clients
such as Reliance industries, Jindal steel, Infosys, Siemens, ABB, L&T, and Reliance
Energy, it is exposed to the slowdown in investments in the private sector.
Dependence on imports for CRGO (Cold Rolled Grain Oriented Steel): CRGO
constitutes ~35% of the raw material cost. The component is not manufactured
in India due to high manufacturing cost. Indian manufacturers including VTL are
thus exposed to possible constraints on timely availability of CRGO.
Opportunities
Thrust of GOI on the power sector
Capacity addition of 54,000MW is expected during the eleventh plan and
~1,00,000MW is planned for the twelfth plan periods. Moreover, initiatives
such as development of a national grid along with power sector reforms such
as APDRP and RGGVY have brought about significant opportunities for the
industry and VTL.
Private sector investments:
Investments in the private sector have recorded strong growth from 2006 onward.
Projects under implementation have grown from INR4.1 trillion in Q2FY06 to
19.8 trillion in Q2 FY10. New project announcements have also registered healthy
growth of 44% during the same period. Although the global financial crisis has
slowed down project announcements, current announcements of INR17.2 trillion
are significantly higher compared with the average of INR2.0 trillion during
2002-05.

Threats
Severe competition: MNCs such as ABB and Areva T&D have strong presence
in the Indian market. In addition, 10-12 domestic manufacturers as well as unorganized players compete for orders from SEBs, utilities and industrial clients.
This makes the market very competitive.

SECTOR REPORT
In FY10E, we expect VTLs net sales to dip INR5,250 million owing to fall in
realizations. For FY11E and FY12E, we expect sales to increase to 6,536.3 million
and INR 7,091.3 million respectively, backed by volume growth.
Margins
In FY08 and FY09, VTL recorded exceptional margins in excess of 20% as the
period was characterized by strong demand due to huge investments and liquidity in
the economy. However, operating margins have dropped to the 19% in 9M FY10, as
investments have slowed down. For FY11E and FY12E, we expect operating profit
margins to remain low at 16.3% and 16% respectively.

SECTOR REPORT
Annexure I - Transformers
For transmission and distribution networks to transfer large amounts of alternating current electricity over long distances with
minimum losses and least cost, different voltage levels are required in various parts of networks. A generation unit produces
electric current at a lower voltage, which has to be increased for efficient transmission and for reducing T&D losses during the
transmission of electricity. The voltage again has to be lowered for the purpose of Sub transmission and Distribution of electricity
for end use consumption. Transformers enable requisite changes in voltage.
A transformer has two types of circuits: primary circuit and secondary circuit. The primary and secondary coils are wrapped
around a core. A changing current in the first circuit (the primary) creates a changing magnetic field, which in turn induces a
changing voltage in the second circuit (the secondary). This process is known as mutual induction. By adding a load to the secondary
circuit, one can make current flow into the transformer, thus transferring energy from one circuit to the other
The iron core forms a complete magnetic circuit and is made up of laminated strips of special steel having low hysteresis loss
and high electrical resistivity. The lamination of the core reduces the eddy-current loss. For an average transformer used in a

power station, the conductor used for the windings consists of paper insulated copper bar or wire. In assembling the transformer,
great care is taken to ensure windings are well insulated, both from the iron core and from each other. The basic construction of
a core type transformer consist of an iron core, a cylinder of insulation followed by the low voltage winding, a further insulating
cylinder and a high voltage winding. Clamps are used to hold the assembly in place.
Raw material break up
Copper: 30-35%
MS Steel: 8-10%
Transformer Oil: 5-10%
Components & Others: 15-20%
CRGO Steel: 30-35%
(CRGO performs the function of generating magnetic flux in the transformers and is a key raw material besides copper. As CRGO
steel is not manufactured domestically, it is imported directly from global majors like Thyssen of Germany, Kawasaki and Nippon
Steel of Japan, AK Steel of USA or indirectly through Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation and local traders.)
Type of transformer
Power transformers:
Power Transformers are used for changing the voltage of electric supply from generators while connecting them to power
evacuation system and further in transmission. They can be Step up (for increasing voltage levels) or Step down transformers
(for reducing voltage levels) e.g. the power at generation level is of low voltage and has to be changed to higher voltage
level for the purpose of transmission. They range from 11 kV to 765 kV and account for 70-75% of the total value of the
transformer industry.
Distribution transformers:
Distribution Transformers are used for changing the voltage at various stages of sub-transmission and distribution - the power
at transmission level is of higher voltage and has to be changed to lower voltage level for the purpose of sub transmission and
distribution. Distribution transformers are used to transfer power from transmission to distribution points. They account for
25- 30% of the total value of the transformer industry.

Dry type transformers:
Dry type transformers can either be a power transformer, distribution transformer or an industrial transformer. They are used in
places where there are high chances of a fire breaking out. As there is no oil used in the transformer, the fire risk is considerably
reduced in this type of transformers. Dry type simply means it is cooled by normal air ventilation. The dry type transformer
does not require a liquid such as oil or any other liquid to cool the electrical core and coils.
