The Elephant Charge Continues

FOREWORD
Dear Investors,
While stepping into the new calendar year, one cannot but look back on CY10 wistfully and ponder. The
markets commenced the year with huge promises and a distinct edge over peer counties. Our banking
systems, often called archaic, had emerged through the global crisis relatively unscathed without
recapitalisation and the growth engine of our economy stood more or less intact. The slow and steady
upsurge in per capita income has maintained the trend of creation of a strong consumption class in
India, thereby making our economy dependent on domestic consumption to a large extent, with a
relatively low reliance on exports.
The only dark cloud on the horizon at that time was inflation, which the government was trying to tame
with all the resources at its disposal. The budget was a pragmatic exercise and government walked the
talk when it implemented certain gutsy reforms like partial decontrol of petroleum product prices, auctioning
of 3G licenses, etc. Thus, the stage was set for markets to remain buoyant, which was borne out by the
fact that they came within striking range of all time highs in Nov'10. FII interest in India was at the
highest and inflow for CY10 at USD28.5bn surpassed the high of USD18.5bn for CY07.
However, as the year draws to an end, there have been some blips which have the makings of a potential
spoilsport. The parliamentary deadlock over the 2G telecom license issue, gyrations in Andhra Pradesh
political scenario, hiccups in quite a few big ticket projects due to rule book implementation by the
environment ministry, the so called loan scam, deferral of GST implementation, etc., have turned to be
the proverbial Achilles' heels. However, there have been some silver linings like the successful big ticket
listing of Coal India and the decisive election mandate in Bihar. The uncertainties towards the end of the
year have resulted in the Indian markets shedding some of their gains with the broad-based indices
(BSE500) barely outperforming global indices. Thus, as we enter into CY11, the quest for profitable
investment options would be a bit harder as the past few weeks have heralded a flight to quality, size and
safety.
We, at Antique, are of the belief that upheavals in the market notwithstanding, there exist quite a few
investment options which not only offer a degree of safety on the business model and earnings front but
also the promise of growth owing to their balance sheet strength and prudent capital allocations. We
have attempted to weave together the threads of domestic consumption stories, strong costing and
operational advantages, high growth potential and capable management with implementation skills to
vector on some of them.
We therefore bid adieu to CY10 and sign off by presenting you, our patrons, with '20 Mid-Cap and 11
Large-Cap ideas’ from our coverage universe, which we believe will merit serious consideration as investment
opportunities in the New Year. After all, Mighty oaks from little acorns grow!!

The ‘value’ and the ‘growth’

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Refiners back in demand
After sluggish refining margins for last two years, we expect refining margins
to remain in an upward trajectory structurally led by strong oil products demand
growth and expected slow-down in refining capacity addition over 2011-13.
We see distillate demand led by industrialisation and transportation demand
from emerging markets to be the key driver of this growth. Distillate yield biased
Asian refiners like RIL are therefore expected to be in a sweet spot, in our view.

Lack of clarity on KG-D6 production ramp-up to 80mmcmd has affected the
valuations of RIL’s E&P business. We believe clarity on KG-D6 volume growth
to emerge mid FY12e and production ramp-up is expected in FY13e (DGH).
RIL is expected to file FDP for R-cluster discoveries and NEC-25 (optimised
development plan) in the immediate future, approval of which gives certainty
in terms of production schedule and reserves under development to improve
the valuations. RIL and partners have promising exploration blocks, where
significant upsides are yet to be captured. Expansion into shale gas to help
access to diverse technology and earnings in the long term.

RIL reported consecutive better earnings from petrochemicals. Though risk
from new polymer projects remains, buoyancy in demand and delay in new
capacities has led to a rise in key petrochemical prices and margins. Also,
polyester integration to help RIL in improving the Petchem profitability as

Investment rationale
Refiners back in demand
The prevailing view in the market seems to be that the Asian refining margins are
likely to remain flattish in FY11e and FY12e due to significant refining capacity additions
in the same period. Contrary to the market, we believe that the market will continue to
see net incremental demand (i.e., incremental demand > incremental supply) for the
global refining industry over the next two years.

„

Refiners witnessed three years of sluggish refinery margins during 2008-10 due
to poor oil products demand growth and significant refinery capacity addition
over the same period.

„

However, oil products demand in 2010 has bounced back very sharply with IEA,
in its recent report, estimating a 2.5MMbbl/d demand growth for 2010. IEA also
estimates continuation of strong demand growth over the next few years led by
China, India and other emerging markets.

„

Our refinery capacity addition model suggests a slowdown in refinery capacity
addition over the next few years and also refinery closures to help the refiners.

We do not expect utilisation levels to increase significantly in the near term due to
delayed refinery expansion plans, ~3MMbbl/d of refinery capacity closures
announced (both temporary and permanent) as well increasing trend of unplanned
outages as 41% of refineries being operated globally for 40 years and above.

We thus believe that refinery margins are expected to remain in an upward trajectory
structurally over FY11e-13e before next wave of capacity addition moderates that
growth. We see distillate demand led by industrialisation and transportation demand
from emerging markets to be the key driver of oil products demand. Distillate yield
biased Asian refiners like RIL are therefore expected to be in a sweet spot, in our view.
We upgrade our refining margins assumption for diesel and gasoline to reflect the
above scenario. After bottoming out in FY10, we estimate RIL’s GRMs to improve to
USD10.7/bbl in FY12e, up 29% YoY. These margins are still 30% lower than peak
margins of USD15/bbl reported by RIL in FY08.

Valuing the refiners
We employ EV/EBITDA to assess the fair value of refiners as we recover from trough
to play the refining cycle. We value RIL refining at 7x EV/EVITDA on FY12e EBITDA of
INR188bn, which gives us a value of INR443/share for refining business.

The refining industry is cyclical and at various points of the cycle different valuation
tools need to be applied. As we recover from the trough of the cycle, we have to
derive the valuations using higher earnings multiple to factor in when we approach
peak cycle.

E&P - Deep value
RIL's E&P portfolio comprises a total of 40 domestic operational blocks including 28
NELP, 7 Pre-NELP and 5 CBM blocks. 70% of its domestic portfolio consists of deep
water fields and most of them are concentrated in KG and Mahanadi basin. Apart
from domestic acreage, RIL also has interest in 13 international blocks with total
acreage of 93,526sqkm (~50% deepwater acreage). Yemen Block9 is the only
producing block in RIL's international portfolio. RIL along with its 100% subsidiary,
REP DMCC is operated in 11 of these blocks.
RIL currently has 48 discoveries to date and an overall exploration success ratio of 54%.
Out of all discoveries, RIL currently has 3 producing blocks namely - D1, D3 and D26
(MA) all in KG-D6 block. The status of all the announced gas discoveries where
commerciality has been submitted and development plans is underway is as below:

Reliance Industries Limited
We have valued RIL's E&P division applying different methodologies according to the
stages of production, exploration or development of its assets. We believe that for
valuing RIL's E&P business, we need to focus on existing/under-approval development
plans/declaration of commerciality (DoC) submitted before ascribing any value to
future exploration successes. This, we believe, should remove concerns over valuing
the E&P business for RIL.
„

Currently producing oil and gas assets: We value them on earnings
multiple and DCF. PMT on EV/EBITDA and KG-D6 on DCF.

„

Assets where commerciality is submitted/development plan expected
to be submitted. These are assets where exploration and appraisal are through,
i.e., major risk activities are over. (For example, satellite discoveries in KG-D6, NEC25 block, etc.) These assets are valued on USD/boe multiple, as production profile,
capital expenditure and reserve quantities are still to be known with certainty.

„

Assets where exploration is under progress. The valuation of these assets
depend on probabilistic estimation of success, history of previous exploration
successes in the block, experience and technical expertise of the operator, and the
risk appetite of investors. In our valuations, we ascribe nil value to these assets.

We believe that the petrochemical segment has seen its trough periods during FY0809 and is geared up for a strong and a sustained growth for the next few years.
Moreover, Polyester margins are also expected remain strong due to current tightness
in cotton market. Thus, buoyancy in Petchem cycle to help RIL in improving its Petchem
earnings further and reaps benefits as biggest integrated player. We value Reliance's
petrochemical business at 7x FY12e EBITDA to arrive at the EV of INR764bn or

Key macro risks
There are four key macro risks to our earnings forecasts and ratings:
Domestic or global economic slowdown may reduce refining and chemicals demand.

„

Volatile crude and oil product prices may affect refining and petrochemical margins,
and E&P earnings.

„

Underestimation of capacity additions and how fast the new capacity will come
on-stream may affect our bullish view on margins.

„

Volatility in foreign exchange may affect the earnings as revenues are dollar
denominated.

COMPANY UPDATE

Tata Consultancy Services Limited
All in favour: ‘Presence, Technology & Time’
Investment rationale
TCS, the largest Indian software services company, provides full breadth of
services across banking, insurance, manufacturing, telecom, retail and
transportation industries. Our belief that TCS will do well in coming quarters is
based on the fact it is well placed in the fastest growing domestic IT services
market and has strong technological capabilities (products - "Banc" and services)
coupled with agile resource management mechanism (lowest attrition).
Domestic presence
TCS has been increasingly deriving significant revenues (~8-10%) from India.
Based on Indian Government's latest IT plan (estimating IT services revenues
to go up from current USD12bn to USD24bn by FY14e), we believe IT spend
to increase from current USD10 to USD20 per capita in the next two years
with majority of revenues coming from government undertakings in the banking,
panchayats, municipal corporations, schools and hospitals.
"BANCS" deal worth over USD100m

We believe that developing a CBS with robustness to handle/execute huge
volume of transactions entails a specific and specialised skill set and from
technology point of view it is a very significant achievement as it places TCS
directly in the league of Oracle , HP, IBM. The financial impact of these type
of projects is high as the margins from such projects can be as high as 7075%, with a good predictable tail.

At the CMP of INR1,140, TCS is trading at 20.3x discounting its FY12e EPS.
We reiterate our BUY recommendation with a strong belief in company's
fundamental and domestic presence. We reiterate a BUY on the stock with a
target price of INR1,288 based on 23x FY12e EPS estimate of INR56.

Investment rationale
Presence in fastest growing IT services market
TCS has been increasingly deriving significant revenues (~8-10%) from India. Based on
Indian Government's latest IT plan (estimating IT services revenues to go up from current
USD12bn to USD24bn by FY14e), we believe IT spend to increase from current USD10 to
USD20 per capita in the next two years with majority of revenues coming from government
undertakings in the banking, panchayats, municipal corporations, schools and hospitals.
Primary reason to computerise the whole state infrastructure will be to reduce human
interface and reduce corruption at the grass root level so that the good work done reaches
the most deserving candidates. For instance, when a question was asked to Mr. Nitish
Kumar post Bihar elections on one thing which he will do to curtail corruption - his answer
was to implement IT in all sectors and departments and curtail human interface.
We believe that keeping all the above factors in mind, both TCS and CMC are very
well poised to get maximum benefit from the domestic IT revolution which has been
triggered with launch of UID.
Since UID will provide the much needed back-end database architecture, the chance
of Indian departments going live looks very feasible.

"Products" Deal from one of the largest banks
Won BANCS" deal worth over
USD100m

"BANCS" deal worth over USD100m: Although the deal is worth only USD100m,
not amounting to much in the overall revenue bucket of TCS, what makes it significant
is the fact it heralds an Indian IT company into the league of players capable of
developing a Core Banking Solution for one of the largest banks in the world. We
believe that developing a CBS with robustness to handle/execute huge volume of
transactions entails a specific and specialised skill set and from technology point of
view it is a very significant achievement as it places TCS directly in the league of
Oracle, HP, IBM. The financial impact of these type of projects is high as the margins
from such projects can be as high as 70-75%, with a good predictable tail.

Cloud computing
We strongly believe that TCS is best positioned to derive maximum benefit from the
Cloud space combined with significant growth in the domestic market. We opine that
countries like India where committing huge upfront cost is a issue is the best market for
pay and use business model. Since Cloud offers everything on pay and use model it
finds lot of customers in fast growing Indian market.

Lowest attrition, high utilisation, improving margins
TCS has the lowest attrition
rate of (~13%) and highest
utilisaton of (~83%)

Antique Stock Broking Limited

TCS has grabbed the No. 1 slot in ‘Best Employer Survey’. This provided the company
an edge in an era where talent acquisition would be the key differentiating factor
both on growth as well as profitability front. This clearly explains why TCS has the
lowest attrition (~13%) vs. even Infosys (~17.5%) and would not only enhance utilisation
rates but also have a cascading effect on the employee cost and margins. Generally,
in IT companies, post resignation notice period varies from 1-2 months, during which
the resource becomes a non-utilisable bench. There is also a minimum training/induction
of 24-26 weeks, conveying impact on recruitment, training, utilisation, etc., for each
attrition. Thus, a company by giving a slightly higher salary hike of 15-20% or an
opportunity to go onsite (which TCS does invariably) can retain the talent.

TCS Limited
Order flow to Indian companies and Indian operations of MNCs is now increasingly
becoming large sized. USD100m execution per annum does not raise any toast
anymore. In the recent past even deals worth more than USD250mn had been awarded
to Indian IT vendors.

Large deals and integrated
solutions

Also integrated solutions and offerings are enabling Indian companies to now be a
port of call for large organizations in BFSI space, who are now increasingly looking
forward to reduce their vendor base and at the same time reduce costing. Indian
vendors with their global and distributed delivery mechanism are poised correctly at
the time point and delivery point. All the top IT vendors can not only do deliveries from
multiple locations within India but also from multiple locations abroad, which gives
client the comfort of time and delivery.
Lower attrition helps utilisation to improve

Valuation and outlook
TCS derives a significant amount of revenue from the Asia Pacific region (~16%) of
which a major portion (~9%) is from India. We believe TCS being a Tata Group
company will have a significant edge over other IT players in this market. Also, lack of
capital with many of regional and rural institutions (for instance banks) throws a
significant opportunity for TCS which can provide reasonably priced solutions for the
institutions on the back of its technological expertise. At the CMP of INR1,140, TCS is
trading at 20.3x discounting its FY12e EPS. We reiterate our BUY recommendation
with a strong belief in company's fundamental and domestic presence with a target
price of INR1,288 based on 23x FY12e EPS estimate of INR56.

COMPANY UPDATE

ITC Limited
Inflation proof

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Resilience of the cigarette business would aid outperformance
Over the next 12 months, when FMCG companies would be muddled between
input cost inflation and intensifying competitive scenario, ITC would be in a
better position with its dominating presence and strong pricing power in the
cigarettes division (accounting for 84% of its total profits). ITC has consistently
demonstrated its strong pricing power in the past in a scenario of steep hikes
in cigarette duties and restrictions on cigarette consumption.
Focus on profitability, a positive strategy
In addition to its cigarettes business, ITC is witnessing improved profitability
across majority of its other businesses like agri, paper and non-cigarette
FMCG. It has witnessed margin expansion of 330bps and 1,040bps in paper
and agri business to 21.2% and 18.3% respectively from FY05 to FY10. In
the non-cigarette FMCG business, losses have been pared from INR1,952m
(sales INR5,634m) in FY05 to INR3,495m (sales INR36,417m) in FY10.
Revival in hotels and increase in market share in personal care to act as triggers
Hotels division is expected to witness continued revival during FY11e and
bounce back by FY12e. During the past two quarters, the hotel industry as a
whole has been witnessing revival in occupancy rates due to higher tourist
arrivals and domestic travel. This is expected to be followed by improvement
in ARRs by the end of FY11e.

Shareholding pattern

Valuation and outlook
At the CMP of INR167, the stock trades at a PE of 25.5x FY11e and at 21x
FY12e. We reiterate our BUY recommendation with a target price of INR192,
providing a 15% upside from the current levels. Our target price is based on
our SOTP valuation in which we have valued the cigarette business at 16x
FY12e EV/EBITDA and other FMCG division at 2x FY12e sales and the Agri
business, Paper business and Hotel business at 6x, 6x and 10x FY12e EV/
EBITDA. We believe that the high EV/EBITDA multiple provided to the cigarette
division is in line with the current valuations of its FMCG peers.

Investment rationale

Sharp hike in duties have not
impacted profitability in cigarettes
50

Resilience of the cigarette business would aid outperformance

Steep increase in
non-filter duties

40

Over the next 12 months, when FMCG companies would be muddled between
input cost inflation and the intensifying competitive scenario, ITC would be in a
better position with its dominating presence and strong pricing power in the cigarettes
division (accounting for 84% of its total profits). ITC has consistently demonstrated
its strong pricing power in the past in a scenario of steep hikes in cigarette duties
and restrictions on cigarette consumption. While the overall duty in cigarettes has
risen by 14% CAGR during the past five years (FY05-10), ITC's cigarette EBIT grew
by 17% CAGR. ITC's cigarette sales during the same period have grown by 12%
CAGR indicating an improvement in EBIT margins from 22.9% in FY05 to 28.6% in
FY10. During the same period, we estimate that the company has witnessed an
improvement in volume market share from 73% to 78.5%.

Focus on profitability, a positive strategy
In addition to its cigarettes business, ITC is witnessing improved profitability across
majority of its other businesses like Agri business, paper and non-cigarette FMCG. It
has witnessed margin expansion of 330bps and 1,040bps in paper and agri business
to 21.2% and 18.3% respectively from FY05 to FY10. In the non-cigarette FMCG
business, losses have reduced from about INR1,952m (sales INR5,634m) in FY05 to
INR3,495m (sales INR36,417m) in FY10. While the improvement in the paper business
has been aided by improvement in technology and backward integration, improvement
in profits in agri business and reduction in losses in non-cigarette FMCG has been due
to increased focus on higher margin products. The margin improvement in agri business
especially during FY10 has been due to the higher sales of leaf tobacco while the
decline in losses of non-cigarette FMCG business was due to the improvement in product
mix in biscuits. Additionally, decline in commodity prices also led to decline in losses of
the non-cigarette business. Going ahead, we estimate Paper business to post a PBIT
margin expansion of 230bps to 23.5% in FY11and expect other FMCG division to
post lower loss at ~INR2.92bn in FY11e against a loss of INR3.49bn in FY10.

Revival in hotels and increase in market share in personal care to act
as triggers
Hotels division is expected to witness a continued revival in FY11e and to bounce
back by FY12e. During the past two quarters, the hotel industry as a whole has been
witnessing revival in occupancy rates due to higher tourist arrivals and domestic travel.
This is expected to be followed by improvement in ARRs by the end of FY11. We
expect the division to witness ~27.5% PBIT margins during FY11e, while to touch
FY09 profitability of 31% by FY12e. We anticipate the division to record ~28%
CAGR in revenues and ~46% CAGR in PBIT during FY10-12e. This in turn would lead
to a rerating of the division.

Revival in hotels and increase
in market share in the
personal care would act as
triggers for the stock

Further, the personal care portfolio comprising soaps, shampoos and the recent launch
skin creams is fast gaining traction, especially in case of soaps where ITC has gained
a volume market share of ~5% and has become a force to reckon within. In the current
scenario, where the competition in soaps is intensifying, any further gain in market
share would be commended and would lead to re-rating of the division. Therefore, we
believe that the revival in hotels and the increase in market share in the personal care
would act as triggers for the stock. We expect the other FMCG division to grow by
34% CAGR during FY10-12e to INR65.7bn while losses are expected to reduce to
INR2,302m by FY12e.

Sales to grow 19% CAGR, PAT growth at 22% CAGR

30x

We expect ITC to record accelerated growth of 19% CAGR in sales to INR254bn
during the next two years (FY10-12) led by higher growth in non-cigarette FMCG and
agri business. Profit after tax is expected to grow at a higher rate of 22% CAGR to
INR60.8bn aided by improvement in profitability across all businesses. Cigarette division
is expected to witness improvement in profitability to the tune of 242bps to 31%
during FY10-12e backed by price hikes and richer mix. ITC's FMCG division is expected
to grow by 34% CAGR during FY10-12 to INR65.7bn while losses are expected to
reduce to INR2,302m by FY12e. Hotel is expected to witness 27.5% PBIT margins
during FY11e, while to touch FY09 profitability of 31% by FY12e. We anticipate the
division to record 28% CAGR in revenues and 46% CAGR in PBIT during FY10-12.
This in turn would lead to a rerating of the division. We expect a steady EBIT margin
of about 11.5-12% for ITC's agri division while EBIT margin of the paper division is
expected to witness 234bps to 23.5% during FY10-12e.

and the stock would witness a further re-rating.

COMPANY UPDATE

ICICI Bank Limited

Remarkable franchise building

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
We firmly believe that the consolidation phase of ICICI Bank is clearly
behind us. With a well expanded distribution network, substantially improved
liability franchise and ALM profile. ICICI Bank is extremely well positioned
to participate in the credit cycle. We expect earnings to grow at 30% CAGR
over FY10-12e on the back of improving margins, steady loan growth and
lower loan provisioning resulting in RoA improving to 1.6% by FY12e.
Growth to return; our FY11e estimates at 17%
Management has revised its growth estimates for FY11e upwards from 15% to
18%, on the back of better traction in project financing and international
business. Our estimates are little more conservative at 17%. Infrastructure lending,
mortgage and auto loans within retail are likely to be key drivers of credit
growth. International business is likely to see more traction due to pick-up in
ECBs.

Accretions to NPLs from ICICI Bank were practically negligible in 2Q FY11 bulk of NPLs accretion has happened due to merger of BOR. Hence, we
expect credit costs to decline materially from 3QFY11 onwards as the bank

Substantially improved CASA ratio (44% at the end of 2QFY11) and lower
mismatches between assets and liabilities will help reduce the volatility in
margins. Further, balance sheet growth for the bank will be more branchoriented rather than DSA driven. Hence, a combination of better margins
and lower credit costs will improve sustainable profitability.

ICICI Bank

Investment rationale
Growth to return; FY11e estimates at 17%
After successfully executing its 4C strategy (CASA ratio, cost to income, credit costs
and capital conservation) in FY10, ICICI Bank is now gearing itself for credit growth.
Credit growth has finally expanded in 2QFY11 (5% QoQ) as retail disbursements
more or less matched retail repayment.
The bank has revised its growth estimates for FY11e, upwards from 15% to18%, mainly
due to better traction in the international business (pick-up in ECBs). Infrastructure lending,
mortgage and auto loans within retail are likely to be key drivers of credit growth.

ICICI Bank has seen strong traction in savings deposits (>25% for last 4 quarters),
resulting in CASA ratio improving from 28% in FY09 to 44% currently. The bank has
doubled its branches in the last two years to ~2,500 which has aided it mobilise low
cost deposits. Further, the bank has improved gaps in its asset liability profile which
help reduce volatility in margins. Management is confident of maintaining average
CASA levels at 37% for FY11e.
ALM profile has turned more favourable.

We firmly believe that the consolidation phase for ICICI Bank is behind us as the bank
is shifting its focus from capital conservation to credit growth. Further, the management
has been delivering well on its articulated 4C strategy - CASA ratio (now at 44%),
costs under control (Cost to income ratio at 40%) credit costs (negligible slippages)
and strong capital base (Tier 1 ratio at ~14%). Hence, we expect earnings to grow
at 31% CAGR over FY10-12e on the back of improving margins, steady loan growth
and lower loan provisioning.

Core ROE

We expect RoA for ICICI bank to rise to 1.4% by FY11e (from 1.04% in FY10) and
1.6% by FY12e as the consolidation carried out over the last few quarters begins to
yield results. The main driver of RoA in our opinion is likely to come from lower loan
provisions, as NPLs begin to trend downwards coupled with expanding margins.
We value ICICI Bank using a SoTP method and value the stand-alone bank at INR1015/
share (2.5 FY12E P/BV) based on single stage Gordon growth model and value the
various subsidiaries at INR306/share arriving at a target price of INR1,320/share
which provides 16% at current levels.
Currently, the stock trades at 2x FY12E P/BV (core book- adjusting for value in subs)
offering strong returns in the long run as sustained results from structural correction
become more visible. We reiterate a BUY on the stock at current levels.

Larsen & Toubro Limited

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Infrastructure spend for XIIth plan estimated to be ~USD1tn
Post the mid term appraisal of XIth plan, the infrastructure spend is expected
to be ~USD500-550bn. Initial estimates for XIIth plan is ~USD1tn and key
sectors are power, roads, ports and airports. Larsen with competence across
these sectors is poised to be one of the key beneficiaries. Further, the company
provides services for the oil & gas and process industry which would be the
other driver of the economy going forward.
Power BTG capacity in line, benefits to accrue
L&T's manufacturing facility for Boiler and Turbine has been set up with total
output at ~4,000MW. While there have been a lot of players to show interest
in setting up similar BTG facility, we believe Larsen has an advantage over
others both from the perspective of facility in place and also its long term
brand as one of the best engineering companies in India.

Value unlocking round the corner for L&T Finance and Infotech
L&T Finance in FY10 reported a profit of INR1.6bn - a growth of 60%YoY.
The company has filled for an IPO for the same. L&T Infotech would scale up
in size, enabling it to bid for larger projects. We expect the potential listing of
L&T Finance and L&T Infotech would be a key trigger for the stock.

As per the midterm appraisal of XIth FYP, the investment in infrastructure is expected to
be in the region of ~USD500 - 550bn. The estimated investment in infrastructure for XIIth
FYP is expected to be ~USD1tn. Majority of these investments will happen in sectors like
power, roads, ports and airports. Larsen with competence across these sectors is poised
to be one of the key beneficiaries. Further, it provides services for the oil & gas and
process industry which would be other drivers of the economy going forward. The gross
investment in capital formation in infrastructure as a percentage of GDP has substantially
increased from 3.3% in FY03 to 7.2% in FY09. This is likely to increase to 8.0% in
FY12e and 10% in XIIth FYP as per mid-term appraisal by Planning Commission. The
infrastructure investment is likely to be more than USD1tn or USD150bn per annum in
XIIth FYP. Except for Telecom, L&T has been a leader in each segment of infrastructure
sector. We expect a nominal growth rate of 14% in infrastructure investment in XIIth FYP
and we expect LT to grow at a higher rate of 22 - 25% compared to industry average.

Power BTG capacity in line, benefits to accrue
L&T and MHI have jointly set up a BTG manufacturing facility of ~4,000MW at Hazira,
Gujarat. While there have been a lot of players to show interest in setting up similar
BTG facilities; attracted by huge opportunity in the BTG space, however we believe

L&T is also setting up dedicated factories for axial fans, air-pre heaters, electrostatic
precipitators, high pressure piping and a forging plant at Hazira. The company intends
to manufacture 80% of the components in the Boiler segment and 60-70% in Turbine
segment domestically. This will help the company to earn higher margins and remain
competitive in long term.

Value unlocking round the corner in key subsidiaries
L&T Finance Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary, has reported revenue of
INR9.6bn and PAT of INR1.6bn in FY10. The revenue and PAT grew 16% and 60%
YoY, respectively. Another key subsidiary L&T Infotech would scale up in size, enabling
it to bid for larger projects. We expect the potential listing of L&T Finance and L&T
Infotech would be a key trigger for the stock. We expect the value unlocking in both
the subsidiaries by FY12/13.

Source: Company,Antique

L&T Finance Holdings has filed for an IPO on September 27, 2010 and is expected to
raise INR15bn. The company vests interests in infrastructure finance, retail finance &
corporate finance and investment management businesses through its subsidiaries
L&T Infrastructure Finance, L&T Finance and L&T Investment Management.
We have valued L&T Finance Holdings Ltd on a Price to Book of 1.5x FY12e book
value. The FY12e book value of L&T Finance, L&T Infrastructure Finance and other
businesses stands at INR28bn thereby arriving at a value of INR75 per share. There
could be further upside in our valuation depending on the IPO price of L&T Finance
Holdings Limited.
L&T Infotech Limited is a information technology solution provider and reported net
revenue growth of 22% YoY to INR11.5bn while PAT grew at 32% YoY to INR1.6bn in
H2FY11.We estimate revenues of INR24.2bn and PAT of INR3.9bn in FY12e. We
value L&T Infotech at 15x FY12e PAT, which we believe is reasonable in view of its
peers such as Patni Computer Systems and Tech Mahindra trading at similar multiples.

INR2,167 providing a potential return of 11%.

Tata Motors Limited

Homegrown Multinational!

27 December 2010

Investment rationale
JLR - The key driver!
JLR has witnessed a phenomenal turnaround and what's commendable is
the stellar performance looks sustainable. On the volumes front, we expect
JLR to maintain the strong momentum driven by the positive response to its
newer products coupled with the increasing demand for luxury cars from
emerging markets. The high-waiting period on some of its newer models (46 weeks) would also reduce gradually as engine supply from Ford starts to
keep pace with the buoyancy in demand.

On the margins front, barring any adverse currency movement, margins are
expected to sustain above the 16% mark as the cost-cutting programme gains
traction - the full benefit of which would accrue over the next few quarters.

O/S shares (m)

Beneficiary from strong CV cycle
The demand drivers for the company's CV business are stronger than ever
given its high co-relation with the uptick in industrial activities. Uptick in
industrial production has kept freight movement extremely buoyant and brought
back the pricing power with the freight operators. Tata Motors is the biggest
beneficiary from the same given its 60% market share in CVs.

recent USD750m QIP issue and several divestments done earlier, the company's
net automotive debt stands at INR200bn, bringing the net automotive leverage

Clearly, the key factors in Tata Motors (JLR, CVs, and leverage - in that order)
are now on a favourable footing. While the domestic car division is on shaky
grounds, the contribution of the same to the consolidated entity is negligible
(~7%). We recommend a BUY with an SOTP-based target price of INR1,570,
which values the standalone business at INR595, JLR at INR880 and other
subsidiaries at INR94 per share. Our target price provides 20% upside from

JLR - The key driver!
JLR has witnessed a phenomenal recovery and we reckon that the stellar performance
will continue. On the volumes front, we expect JLR to maintain the strong momentum
driven by the positive response to its newer products coupled with increasing demand
for luxury cars from emerging markets. The gap between the wholesale dispatches
and the retail sales has come down post the inventory check over the last few quarters
and consequently inventory levels (company + dealer) now stands at around 80 days
as against 160 days two years back. Wholesale dispatches are now expected to
move in tandem with the retail sales.
On the margins front, 2QFY11 saw a margin expansion of 111bps QoQ despite
currency being sequentially unfavorable in 2QFY11 (USD depreciation/Euro
appreciation vis-à-vis GBP). This was driven by a better product mix (7% QoQ realisation
growth due to higher contribution of the Jag XJ and high-end Range Rover variants)
coupled with adequate forex hedges and cost-cutting initiatives across all cost-items.
Barring any negative surprise on the currency front, we expect EBIDTA margins to
sustain above the 16% mark as the cost-cutting programme gains traction - the full
benefit of which would accrue over the next few quarters.

Tata Motors Limited

Beneficiary from strong CV cycle
The demand drivers for the company's CV business are stronger than ever given its
high co-relation with uptick in industrial activities. The Indian CV industry has witnessed
a domestic volumes growth of 16% CAGR over FY03-10. Roads are still the most
preferred mode of transport with approximately 85% of passenger movement and
65% of goods movement in the country happening via road. Uptick in industrial
production has kept freight movement extremely buoyant and brought back the pricing
power with the freight operators.
Testimony to this is the fact that the last diesel price hike post the budget (of INR2.6/
litre) was completely passed on. Diesel accounts for almost 60% of a transporter's
total cost, therefore, a 5% increase in diesel, increased freight rates by approximately
3%. Given the buoyancy in industrial production and consequent buoyancy in freight
movement, we expect any further increase in fuel prices to be easily passed on by the
freight operators. Tata Motors has maintained its dominance in CVs and is the biggest
beneficiary from this buoyancy in the industry with its market share consistently above
the 60% mark.
Tata Motors domestic passenger vehicles - market share
under pressure across segments

Tata Motors Limited

Balance sheet getting cleaned up!
The company has been gradually cleaning up its balance sheet and post the recent
USD750m QIP issue and several divestments done earlier, the company's net automotive
debt stands at INR200bn, bringing the net automotive leverage down from 4.0x to
1.16x. With a cleaner balance sheet and turnaround in operations the company is all
geared up to take advantage of the opportunities ahead.

Valuation and outlook
Clearly, the key factors in Tata Motors (JLR, CVs, and leverage - in that order) are now
on a favourable footing. While the domestic car division is on shaky grounds, the
contribution of the same to the consolidated entity is negligible (around 7%). We
recommend a BUY with an SOTP-based TP of INR1,570, which values the standalone
business at INR595, JLR at INR880 and other subsidiaries at INR94 per share. Our
target price provides a 20% upside from the current levels.

COMPANY UPDATE

Tata Steel Limited
Crossing the Rubicon

27 December, 2010

European operations face near term headwinds from raw material costs but
ongoing restructuring is expetced to increase profitability from the present
EBITDA levels of ~USD50/tonne. The 3mpta TCP sale for USD500m is on
track and expected to be consummated by FY11e end. The management is
now focusing on efficiency projects by increasing annual capex to USD600m
from present USD350m.
High visibility on improving raw material integration
Projects like 4mtpa iron ore (starting with 2mtpa initially) at Canada and
2mtpa coal at Mozambique will start delivering by FY12e end. This coupled
with growing Indian volumes, TSL will increase iron ore integration from 26%
to 39% and coking coal from 16% to 23% by FY13e.

TSL has 24.16% stake in Riversdale Mining Limited (RML), which is an ASX listed
miner with market capitalisation of USD3.5bn and interests in various coking coal
projects. The early stage investment has yielded significant returns with ~4x value
appreciation and raw material security as Benga Coal Phase I (4bt reserves) will start
delivering 2mtpa coal from FY12e end.

Balance sheet deleveraging in the offing
The management has proposed fund raising of USD1.5bn through various options
with deleveraging being the keyword. The debt refinancing at Corus coupled with its
fund raising plan would provide flexibility to the management to focus on efficiency
and growth projects. This will help in expanding the present EBITDA of USD~50-60
per tonne in European operations.

Tata Steel Limited

Valuation and outlook
TSL is very well placed with strong Indian operations, raw material integration visibility
in the longer term and improvement in European operations. The proposed balance
sheet deleveraging will bring flexibility in capital decisions and TSL will be the prime
beneficiary of the upturn in steel industry.

We reiterate a BUY with an
upside of 14% from current
levels

At the CMP of INR673, TSL is trading at 6.2x FY12e EV/EBITDA and is attractive
placed in Indian metals space. We have valued integrated and efficient Indian
operations at 7x EV/EBITDA while non integrated European and Asian operations
are valued at 5x arriving at SOTP of INR768. We reiterate our BUY recommendation
with an upside of 14% from current levels.

Holds further promise ...

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (Sun Pharma) is a leading player in the
Indian pharma space. Sharp focus on cost control, impressive pipeline for the
US markets, strong foothold in the domestic market and a healthy balance
sheet are major growth drivers.
Core business to drive growth
We expect company’s revenue to grow at a CAGR of ~15% in FY10-13e
driven by new product introductions, higher productivity in the domestic markets
and improving US business through own and third-party product distribution
arrangements.
Taro gets into Sun's fold
This acquisition not only provides access to dermatology and pediatrics
business but also offers access to Israel, Canada and US markets. It offers
another beachhead in US markets whilst it implements remediation action
plan at its other entity i.e., Caraco.
Healthy financials
Sun Pharma has ~USD640m cash on its books which can be used for inorganic
expansion and stabilising Taro. Despite high cash on books dragging return
ratios, it registered an commendable RoCE of 22% and RoNW of 34% in
FY10.

Domestic formulation is the largest revenue contributor for Sun Pharma (~45% of
FY10 revenues). The company began its operations as a five-product anti-psychiatric
portfolio and emerged with one of the largest portfolios in the chronic therapy segment
in the country. Sun currently is the sixth largest branded generic player in the country,
with a product basket comprising ~537 formulations covering chronic therapy segments.
Rapid growth in chronic segments to continue
The company has high profitability potential in chronic segment due to strong marketing
reach and high product recall amongst speciality doctors. This has ensured better
leeway in terms of pricing too. Consistent price rise, ability to enter market early and
use of technological expertise has led the company to increase its market share.

Clarity emerges in the US business; headwinds to continue
After almost 24 months into the drug seizures by the FDA, the management at Caraco
has finally announced a remediation course to the time taken to resolve the
manufacturing issue. Under the terms of the Consent Decree, before resuming the
manufacturing of any product in the Company's manufacturing facility in Detroit, a
number of significant steps and processes are required to be completed, and
certifications and approvals from both outside experts and the FDA are to be obtained.
Caraco has submitted a remediation action plan providing an update on resuming
manufacturing of own products for the local markets. Caraco will introduce two products
by 1HCY11; followed by three products which will commence production by 1HCY12.
We believe company to start production of its own products by end of CY12; full
traction of sales is expected to be registered in FY13e only.

Taro Pharma - Patience Pays
Sun Pharma announced to acquire Taro Pharma in May 2007 for USD 454m (a price
of USD7.75/share). After three years of legal battle, the Israeli Supreme court ruling
paved the way for allowing Sun Pharma to take complete control on Taro Pharma.
Sun Pharma also acquired 12% stake from Templeton Asset Management for USD14/
share resulting in 75% control of the company with majority voting rights.

US generic business accounted for ~USD300m in CY09 (until the seizures by the
FDA) to Sun Pharma. With more than 320 ANDAs approvals (Sun and Caraco
combined), Taro to add another 26 ANDAs, taking the total tally to over 346. This is
expected to provide a significant upside in company’s revenues during FY11e and
FY12e. Sun's acquisition of Taro provides it an entry in the dermatology and topical
segment which forms ~60% of Taro's revenue. The acquisition will also help Sun
Pharma gain a major foothold in the US and Canadian OTC market. Taro has an
established franchise in dermatology and topical products in the US, in addition to
generic products in cardiovascular, neuro-psychiatric and anti-inflammatory therapeutic
categories.

Subject to clearance from the FDA, there are quite a few opportunities that could
make material impact on Sun Pharma and Caraco combined earnings. Opportunities
like Prandin from Caraco's facility are subject to FDA clearance of its Detroit facility,
providing meaningful cash flow in FY16e. Other drugs like Exelon, Effexor XR,
Metoprolol are not likely to add substantial cash flow to earnings.

We expect company’s revenues, EBITDA, and net profits to post a growth of 15%,
18% and 11.9% in FY10-13e. This is likely to be driven by higher than market growth
in the domestic formulations business, strong sales in the US business post the
remediation process at Caraco. While integration of Taro would be a key challenge
going forward, but considering the management expertise in turning around distressed
assets, we believe the same would be successfully addressed.

Integration to leverage economies of scale and positively impact
operating margins

Margin trend (%)
50%

Sun Pharma has amongst the best operating margins in the industry despite high R&D
expenses. This is on account of presence in chronic therapy areas and technically
complex product profiles for the regulated markets, tight cost controls, and strong field
force productivity. We estimate Sun Pharma to maintain this high operating margin
growth rate in FY10-13e at ~34%. After integration of Taro is completed, a substantial
jump in operating margin is expected by FY12e.

Sun Pharma currently has USD640m of cash on books. It has been maintaining ~22.6%
RoCE and ~34% RoNW during FY05-10. This period has witnessed considerable
amount of investments in acquiring companies both in the domestic and international
markets. However, high cash on books, has been the key reason for lower return ratios
for the company. We expect Sun Pharma to utilise some cash to incur capex in Taro
and resolve compliance of issues at Caraco, apart from scouting for inorganic growth.
We expect the company to maintain its return ratios at ~20% RoCE and RoNW.

COMPANY UPDATE

Mahindra & Mahindra Limited
True Son of the Soil!

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Core businesses couldn’t be stronger
M&M's two "bread and butter" segments - UVs (45% of volumes) and tractors
(37% of volumes) - are relatively less competitive, which gives it a strong
pricing power. In UVs, it has consistently gained market share (currently at
52%) led by its strong brand image and unmatched grip in tier 2 & 3 cities.
Furthermore, the tractor industry is in a sweet spot due to enhanced focus on
farm credit, higher MSP prices, increasing commercial usage of tractors and
most importantly higher labor wages (attributable to NREGA). M&M is clearly
the biggest beneficiary from the same given its 42% market share in tractors.

The Mahindra ~ Ssangyong alliance has multiple synergies for both parties.
While Ssangyong benefits from access to the lucrative Indian markets,
Mahindra will benefit from access to Ssangyong's superior technology, namely
Euro V & VI compliant products and engines with power up to 175hp.
Furthermore, Ssangyong's huge dealership base in markets relatively untapped
by M&M (Europe, South America, Middle East, Africa), will help the company
realise its aspirations of becoming a truly global SUV player. In our view, this
is the strongest synergy of the alliance.

At the CMP of INR750, after adjusting for the current value of M&M's key
listed subsidiaries, its core auto business is available at a P/E of 10.6x,
discounting our FY12e EPS. This, in our view, is a steep and unjustified
discount to its peers given the company's strong business model. We reiterate
a BUY with an SOTP-based target price of INR932 (24% upside from current
levels).

M&M has now become a strong force to reckon within CVs driven by bright
prospects and savvy product placement of its two products ~ 'Gio' &
'Maxximo'. It is poised to garner a commendable 15% market share in the
INR40bn mini-truck segment within just 12-14 months of its launch. This also
gives us confidence in M&M’s foray into larger commercial vehicles.

Investment rationale
Core businesses could not be stronger
UV dominance to continue
Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) is the largest UV and tractor player in the country with
a market share of 52% and 42%, respectively. It has been continuously gaining market
share in both these segments driven by its strong brand image (result of a very strong
parentage), widespread distribution networks and unmatched grip in the rural markets.
Margins are likely to remain firm as the company's pricing power remains intact (a
function of a benign competitive scenario). As a result, its invincible position looks
secure for a long time, which is a major contrast from the leaders of other segments
(cars, motorcycles and CVs).

Tractor Industry on a strong footing
On the back of the government's strong focus on the agriculture sector coupled with
improving farm mechanisation and a good monsoon, the tractor industry is in for a
good run. Our outlook on the tractor division too is extremely positive given the
structural shift in the tractor industry. The tractor industry has grown by 14% from
FY03-FY10, led by increase in disposable incomes on the back of rising MSPs over
the past few years, coupled with an enhanced focus on increasing farm credit. Farm
mechanization is on the rise attributable to a low availability of labour and sharp
increase in labour costs ~ a function of various policy measures including the increase
in allocation for NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee Act), which has
made rural labor scarce and expensive.

NREGA has made farm labour
scarce and expensive - forcing
many farmers to mechanise

With buoyancy in construction activities, work has been aplenty and labour costs have
risen significantly. This has diverted rural labour (mainly unskilled) from agriculture related
activities to more rewarding and secure NREGA led construction/infrastructure based
activities. This is solely responsible for a high proportion of farm mechanization, which
has led to the recent buoyancy in tractor demand.
Besides NREGA, the increase in agricultural credit, coupled with the farm loan waiver
and increasing commercial usage of a tractor has also been strong contributing factors
to this growth in the Indian tractor Industry. With a large proportion of the rural population
still dependent on core farming activities, we expect the thrust on rural development,
agriculture and infrastructure to continue - all of which bodes very well for sustainable
tractor growth over a longer term.
M&M is the undisputed leader in the domestic tractor industry. Post the PTL (Punjab
Tractors Ltd.) merger, its market share stands at 42% (30% pre-merger). PTL and M&M
now share distribution and service networks, the synergies from which have resulted in
tractor profitability being miles ahead of competition. The company now plans to increase
focus on the marginal farmers (<2.5 acres) and smaller farmers (2.5 - 5 acres), where
penetration is relatively much lower (at just about a percentage) as these farmers normally
use bullocks for farming.
For the same, it has recently launched the 15hp tractor at an affordable price - Mahindra
Yuvraj (priced at around INR162,000), the usage of which is estimated to entail cost
saving of INR20,000 p.a. - compared to the cost of owning a pair of bullocks.
Comparatively lower tractor penetration and consequently lower levels of farm productivity
in these farm households, provides headroom for tractor growth.

Mahindra ~ Ssangyong - A match made in heaven
Multiple Synergies
The Mahindra ~ Ssangyong alliance has multiple synergies for both parties. As both
cater to different segments within UVs, there is no product overlap - in fact it is more of a
continuum. Ssangyong with its superior product line comprising Rexton, New Kyron
Korando C and Actyon caters to the middle to upper UV segment which complements
M&M's current product portfolio very well as it caters to lower to middle UV segment.
Furthermore, possibility of sharing components/vendors in the future provides headroom
for cost savings for both parties going ahead.

Antique Stock Broking Limited

39

Mahindra & Mahindra
M&M would also get a huge technological leap as Ssangyong's products are far superior
and about 2 life cycles ahead of M&M’s (Euro V and soon to be Euro VI compliant in
comparison to M&M's Euro IV). Ssangyong also has engines which go up to 175hp,
whereas M&M's engines capacity stretches only up to 140hp. M&M can leverage on
Ssangyong's superior technology to improve its own domestic portfolio. It also plans to
assemble some of the popular Ssangyong’s SUV brands in India, which will further
strengthen its leadership position in the domestic UV market. Ssangyong on the other
hand benefits from access to the lucrative Indian automobile market.

Superior technology, vast
dealer base - strongest
synergy of the alliance

M&M also stands to gain from Ssangyong's strong dealer base which gives it direct
access to relatively untapped markets like Europe, Russia, South America, Middle East,
Africa and Asia through Ssangyong's 1,300 dealers across 90 countries. This in our
view is the strongest synergy of the alliance as it will help M&M realise its dream of
becoming a truly global SUV player.
No financial strain - Icing on the cake
The fact that the acquisition does not strain M&M's balance sheet is an icing on the cake.
The deal size of USD464m for a 70% stake would be met easily through a combination
of debt and internal accruals (cash reserves of INR25bn and FCF of INR5bn per quarter).
Even assuming the deal is fully funded by debt, gearing levels would remain comfortable,
increasing from 0.22x to 0.44x.

No strain on balance sheet Icing on the cake!

Furthermore, Ssangyong is debt free and going ahead, barring basic working capital, we
do not expect M&M to pump in additional funds into Ssangyong to augment capacity
since its current capacity of 120,000 units (with engine capacity of 150,000 units) is being
utilised by only 70% (considering the current run-rate of 85,000 units pa).
Ssangyong has been prone to labour disputes resulting in production disruptions in the
past. Post the deal they have been co-operative with M&M as it is their best chance to
restore the past glory of the company and secure their own jobs. The labour unions of
both companies have signed a Tripartite Agreement containing provisions for employment
protection, long-term investment and commitment towards no labor dispute.

Force to reckon within CVs
M&M is soon becoming a force to reckon within the LCV space (especially in the sub
one tonne category), kick-started by the savvy product placement of 'Gio' and 'Maxximo'.
The mini-truck market is estimated at around 200,000 units, growing by 20% pa (as
against 15% for the CV industry). It is a booming category in India, driven by growing
popularity of hub-and-spoke distribution model and rising importance of small
transporters' role in the road freight process.

M&M giving Tata Motors a run
for its money in the mini-truck
segment

The trend of these mini-trucks was popularised by the Tata Ace, which single-handedly
shrunk the 3W goods carrier industry. Currently, with clocking volumes of approximately
15,000 units per month, it has a 90% market share in this mini-truck segment. M&M
is now giving Tata Motors a run for their money in this segment, with the recently
launched, powerful and economical - Maxximo.
The company is expected to garner sales of 30,000 units for the Maxximo in FY11e,
which would give it a market share of over 15% in INR40bn mini-truck segment, within
just 12-14 months of its launch. A passenger variant of the same is also in the pipeline.

Another savvy product by M&M in the mini-truck segment is the ‘Gio’, which targets
the three-wheeler goods carrier. Gio has an RTO passed payload capacity of 500kgs
(which could be loaded up to 800kgs), as against 300kgs for a three-wheeler. However,
the USP of Gio lies in its extremely competitive pricing and smart product placement.
Before the Gio, there was a huge price gap between a three-wheeler goods carrier
(priced at around INR160-170,000) and the next four-wheeler (at INR345,000).
Currently priced at INR206,179 (on-road Mumbai), Gio is now the cheapest upgrade
from a three-wheeler goods carrier to a four-wheeler, a position once enjoyed by the
Tata Ace (at almost INR140,000 more expensive). While Gio is the first product in
0.5-tonne segment, it will not be for long as Tata Motors plans to launch the Penguin
in the same segment. Even Bajaj Auto and Piaggio are reported to launch their products
in this segment. The 0.5-tonne segment has now caught the fancy of all players,
however, M&M spotted this trend much earlier, and thereby, it would enjoy the firstmover advantage.

Mahindra & Mahindra
Mahindra enjoys a parentage, probably as strong as the Tata's and given the already
well-established brand name and strong sales and distribution services, all it needs is
the right product. We believe that with the Maxximo and Gio, M&M has two potential
winners on its hands and the company has got it spot on as far as the product
placement is concerned. This further reinstates our positive view on M&M as it becomes
a force to reckon within the CV space and also gives us confidence in its foray into the
MHCV space - launch of 25, 31, 40 and 49-tonne trucks in FY11e; and further, 9, 11
& 16-tonne trucks and 16-tonne buses in FY12e and FY13e, respectively.

COMPANY UPDATE

Power Grid Corp of India Limited
'Higher Orbit' of Capex

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Moving into higher orbit
PGCIL is moving into higher capex mode in order to meet the transmission
capacity requirements for the next two years and XIIth Five-Year Plan. Post its
successful IPO in FY08, the company has increased its average capital
expenditure (FY08-10) to INR84bn from INR36bn in the Xth Five-Year Plan.
PGCIL intends to increase its capital expenditure to INR120bn and INR150bn
by FY11e and FY12e, respectively. The equity infused via FPO and internal
accruals addresses the equity requirements in medium term.
Earnings will get a boost by higher commissioning in FY11e and FY12e
We expect all construction work in progress (CWIP) (~INR200bn in PGCIL's
books as on Mar’10) to get commissioned over the next 5-6 quarters and
estimate the commissioning to be INR206bn in FY11-12e. Although the capex
has been on a higher level at INR80bn and INR100bn in FY09 & FY10
respectively, commissioning during corresponding years has been at lower
levels of INR49bn and INR29bn. However, as the commissioning cycle ranges
between 18-24 months, commissioning is likely to improve in FY11-12e.

PGCIL is executing 68 transmission projects worth INR817bn, which are in
various phases of implementation. Further, CERC has already approved high
capacity power transmission corridor (HCPTC) which will be implemented in
the next Five-Year Plan at a cost of INR580bn. PGCIL has most of its assets
regulated by CERC, thus returns will be protected for existing and new capex.

Valuation and outlook
We have ascribed a multiple of 18x and 2.25x for FY12e on a PE and a PB
basis respectively, and arrived at a fair value of INR116. In the past three
years, the average PE and PB has been in the range of 17-23x and 2-2.6x
respectively.

Investment rationale
Capex : Moving into higher orbit
PGCIL's capital expenditure in Xth Five-Year Plan was INR180bn, which tripled in
XIth Plan to INR550bn and is expected to double to ~INR1,200bn in the next plan.
It incurred a capital expenditure of ~INR36bn per annum on an average during
FY03-07. Post its successful IPO in FY08, the company has increased its average
capital expenditure (FY08-10) to INR84bn from INR36bn in the Xth Five-Year Plan.
It is expected to invest INR120bn and INR150bn in FY11e and FY12e, respectively.
The equity required for these projects would be in the range of INR40-50bn. However,
the company generates cash accrual of ~INR20-25bn per annum presently. FPO
proceeds (of INR37bn) and internal accruals would meet the equity requirement for
the next two years. The capital expenditure for Xth and XIth Five-Year Plan is shown
in the charts below.

during corresponding years has been at lower levels of INR49bn and INR29bn.

COMPANY UPDATE

Hindalco Industries Limited
Growth for the ‘future’

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
High visibility on India expansions
Expansion projects of Hindalco Industries Limited (HNDL) are on schedule,
thereby increasing its leverage to high margin Indian markets. Refining capacity
in India will double by FY12e while smelting capacity will grow by 140%.
Thus, the business portfolio will become more stable and aligned with end-toend value chain transforming Hindalco to a different league.
Novelis' sustainable restructuring
The restructuring of Novelis and efficiency improvements are yielding strong
operating performance. The company’s efforts are directed towards improving
and sustaining the performance by shutting down unprofitable and low margin
operations. The debottlenecking of existing 3mtpa capacity at ~3% every
year till FY14e and 220kt Brazil expansion in FY13e will increase the exposure
towards growing markets and premium products.
Financial reengineering will reflect in balance sheet strength

Returns (%)

HNDL's consolidated gross debt at USD6bn has been restructured with
acquisition debt transferred to Novelis while the Indian arm will do the equity
financing for expansions. Henceforth, Novelis will bear USD4.8bn debt while
HNDL's capex will be on a 70:30 debt:equity ratio on a project basis through
SPV structure. Despite funding USD2.7bn equity required for new projects,
Novelis' improving cash flows and surplus cash will see net debt/EBITDA
within comfortable 2x levels.

The stock is currently trading at 11.2x FY12e EPS and 6.8x FY12 EV/EBITDA.
Majority of the capital work in progress will become operational by FY12e
end, and thereby, FY13e is likely to witness stronger cash flows and profitability
with higher scale of operations. The high predictability of the capex project
completions and back-ended cash flows has prompted us to base our target
price by allocating 25% and 75% weightage to FY12e and FY13e, respectively.
We reiterate a BUY with a target price of INR279 per share.

Capacity expansion on schedule

The smelter expansion project (from 155ktpa to 161ktpa) is nearing completion,16 of
28 pots are in operation, the balance to be taken in line soon. A further expansion,
from 161ktpa to 213ktpa, along with a 100MW power plant will be completed by
4QFY12e. The visibility on expansion plans related to Hirakud, Utkal, Mahan, Aditya
Aluminium and Alumina and Jharkhand are on track with improving visibility every
subsequent quarter.

The management believes the global system of linking alumina prices to aluminium
(12.5% to 14%) is set for a break down. Thus, standalone smelters will have tough
time as alumina prices will have free pricing function and move towards copper TcRc
way offering huge advantages to integrated operations of Hindalco. The company
aims to have a cash cost of ~USD100 for alumina, a marked discount to the global
range of USD150-200, while cash cost of aluminium will be ~USD950-1,050, which
is one of the lowest.

The equity funding of Utkal (INR70bn) and Mahan (INR92bn) will be done through
existing cash in the balance sheet. Also, when Aditya moves to the capex mode

Hindalco Industries Limited

Valuation and outlook
The stock is currently trading at 11.2x FY12e EPS and 6.8x FY12 EV/EBITDA. We
believe that sustained uptrend in operations of Novelis, robust domestic operations
with rising volumes coupled with enhanced costing and operational efficiency augurs
well for the company in a volatile macro environment.

Growth traction offers
potential to capitalise on scale
and value chain expansions

Structural stability in aluminium prices globally along with operating metrics can be
rated amongst the top deciles globally. The growth traction offers potential to capitalise
on both scale and value chain expansions fruitfully.
Majority of the capital work in progress will become operational by FY12e end, and
thereby, FY13e is likely to witness stronger cash flows and profitability with higher scale
of operations. The high predictability of the capex project completions and backended
cash flows has prompted us to base our target price by allocating 25% and 75%
weightage to FY12e and FY13e, respectively. We reiterate a BUY on this stock with a
target price of INR279 per share providing an upside of 16% from the current levels.

Investment rationale
Subsidy burden to remain capped, improving realisations
We believe that subsidy burden of upstream companies will remain capped
despite sharp run up in oil prices as government will strive to raise diesel
prices more frequently to keep diesel under-recoveries under check, contrary
to what it has done in past. This will help improving realisations for upstream
companies in a rising oil price environment. In our view, with no diesel price
hike, OIL's net realisations are expected to improve by USD1/bbl for every
USD10/bbl increase in oil prices and by another USD4/bbl if government
raises diesel prices by INR2/litre.

Crude oil production for FY11e which remained flat in 1HFY11 due to lower
off-take by Numaligarh refinery is expected to pick up in 2HFY11. OIL guides
an oil production growth of 3-4% for the next few years. OIL projects its gas
production to grow at a CAGR of 9% for the next 4 years from 2.4bcm in
FY11 to 3.4bcm in FY15e. Commencement of Brahmaputra Gas Cracker
(BCPL) would help in meeting this target as OIL holds 10% stake in BCPL.

Domestic E&P - future growth driver

Source: Bloomberg

OIL has lined up USD1.9bn capex for E&P activities over next two years
including acquisitions. Of this, USD1bn will be spent in FY11 and the
remaining in FY12e. For FY12, 80% investment is planned in exploration
and appraisal and development of existing blocks. OIL has also been looking
out for potential E&P acquisitions abroad and has sufficient cash balance of
INR98bn in its books as at Sept, 2010 end. This will help OIL to strengthen
its domestic asset portfolio which was earlier concentrated in North East.

Under-recoveries to remain capped
Following petrol price de-control and price hikes of key petroleum products in June
2010, the government reduced sector under-recoveries by INR260bn. However, recent
run up in oil prices continues to keep sector under-recoveries at an estimated INR630bn
for FY11e. We however believe that subsidy burden for upstream companies would
remain capped as government will continue to raise prices for diesel to keep diesel
under-recoveries under check, contrary to what it has done in past. Any increase,
though less likely, in cooking fuel prices, will also help in reducing the under-recoveries
following any rise in oil prices. We thus believe upstream companies to benefit from
reduction in under-recoveries, while any rise in crude oil prices will help them in
improving their net realisations

OIL to post net realisations of
USD58/bbl and USD61/bbl for
FY11e and FY12e

We expect OIL to post a net realisation of USD58/bbl and USD61/bbl for FY11e
and FY12e, respectively, assuming average oil price of USD75/bbl and USD80/bbl
in FY11e and FY12e, respectively.

Thus, in a rising oil price scenario, with subsidy burden remaining capped, OIL is
expected to report better net realisations. Our analysis reveals that with no diesel
price hike, OIL's net realisations are expected to improve by USD1/bbl for every
USD10/bbl increase in oil prices. Further, if government raises diesel prices by INR2/
litre, OIL's realisations would improve by a further USD4/bbl.

Production growth on track
OIL targeted to grow its oil production by 3-4% over next few years. Though oil
production remained flat in 1HFY11 due to lower off-take by Numaligarh refinery, we
estimate that it will pick up in 2HFY11. As per latest estimates, OIL projects its gas
production to grow at a CAGR of 9% for the next four years, from 2.4bcm in FY11e
to 3.4bcm in FY15e. Commencement of Brahmaputra Gas Cracker (BCPL) would
help in meeting this target as OIL holds 10% stake in BCPL. The reserve accretion
during FY10 was 9.7mmt against the target of 9.5mmt. The Reserve to production
ratio stood at 1.65x.

Domestic E&P - the future growth driver
OIL which earlier had most of its E&P assets in North East has gradually expanded its
presence to Rajasthan, Mahanadi Offshore, Mumbai Deepwater, KG as well as various
overseas projects in Venezuela, Libya, Gabon, Iran, Nigeria and Sudan. OIL plans to
increase its investment on domestic front by concentrating more on developing domestic
exploration blocks. Total USD1.9bn is lined up for investment for the next two fiscal
years. Of the total investment, INR48bn is planned for FY11 and the remaining INR37bn
for FY12e.
Nearly 80% investment is planned in exploration and appraisal and development of
existing blocks. OIL also plans to participate in downstream ventures of refining &
petrochemicals, shale gas, alternative sources of energy and CNG/CGD.
OIL plans to acquire small-medium sized producing properties with exploration upsides
to help improving its oil & gas production and portfolio of assets.

Valuation and outlook
OIL has cash of INR101bn (INR419/share) as at 2QFY11 end, which is 30% of its
current market capitalisation. If we exclude the interest earnings and cash in hand
from valuations, then OIL is trading at a PE of 8.5x on its FY12e earnings and 4.8x
EV/EBITDA, which we believe is compelling. Comparing to ONGC, OIL is trading at
a discount of 9% on EV/EBITDA, and 5% discount to EV/boe. We recommend a BUY
on OIL with a target price of INR1,638/share by applying a 11x multiple on FY12e
EPS of INR142/share and accounting for an exploration upside of INR75 on its
Venezuela project.

COMPANY UPDATE

Siemens Limited
Transformer(s)

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
All time high order book
With strong order inflows during the year, Siemens presently has an all time
high order book. The order backlog at the end of Sept'10 stood at INR135bn.
Order inflow for the current year is registered at INR120bn. Order book to
sales which in general has ranged from 1-1.2x, presently stands at 1.5x. In
the current year, the company received two mega orders namely Qatar
transmission (~INR24bn) and Torrent Power repeat order. With the execution
cycle of these projects closer to 24 months, we believe there would be significant
revenue growth for the next two years.
Power transmission capex to pick up in the coming years
With PGCIL's FPO in place, we expect higher capital expenditure by the
company, and hence, all key transmission players are expected to benefit.
Siemens is one of the key players in the medium and high-end voltage
transformer segment. Further, as a number of BTG orders have been awarded
in the last two years, we expect a number of transmission assets to be tendered
in the near term. Nine HPTCs have been identified, which would in near term
benefit transformer and ancillary companies.
Entry into Indian renewable energy market
With increasing interest in the renewable market in India, Siemens (globally
one of the key players in the wind and solar market) has entered the Indian
market. Siemens intends to invest EUR70m (INR4.3bn) in the first phase for
the Baroda project, to set up a 250MW manufacturing capacity. This facility
will act as a hub for energy-efficient automation and building solutions, a
major business for Siemens.

Siemens Limited

Investment rationale
All time high order book
The large inflow in this fiscal year has resulted in an all time high order book for
Siemens. The order backlog at the end of September 2010 stood at INR135bn.
Order inflow for the current year was registered at INR120bn. Order book to sales
which in general has ranged from 1-1.2x, presently stands at 1.5x. In the current year,
the company received two mega orders namely: Qatar transmission (~INR24bn) and
repeat order from Torrent Power Limited for 387.5MW. With the execution cycle of
these projects closer to 24 months, we believe there would be significant revenue
growth for the next two years.

Power transmission capex to pick up in the coming years
With PGCIL's FPO in place, we expect higher capital expenditure by the company,
and hence, an increase in order book of key transmission players. PGCIL, being the
CTU, is responsible for development of inter-regional grid. The incremental capacity
in inter-regional transmission grid is being built for higher voltage of 765KV. There are
only three to four players to address the 765KV transmission equipment size. Siemens
is well-placed with its medium and high-end voltage transmission technology to benefit
from the increasing order flow of PGCIL.
Further, as number of BTG orders have been awarded in the last two years, we expect
an increase in corresponding capital expenditure in transmission assets to handle the
increased load flow. The investment in the transmission systems associated with the
new generation assets and interregional capacity is expected to be tendered in the
near term.
The current inter-regional capacity of ~21,000MW is being upgraded to a capacity
of ~33,000MW by FY12e and would be upgraded to a capacity of ~75,000MW by
FY17e. Further, CEA has identified nine HPTCs to be implemented in XIIth FYP. The
total opportunity stands at INR581bn. Of this cost, 40% would be for Substation,
transformers and reactors, while 60% for Transmission lines.

Entry into Indian renewable energy market

Source: Company, Antique

The increased focus on reducing the carbon footprint and increasing interest in the
renewable market in India augurs well for the investment in renewable energy market
space. Siemens AG, the parent company, is one of the key players in the wind and solar
market In Europe. Siemens AG had 6% market share in supplier of wind turbines in
2009. The company plans to invest overall INR16bn in India over the next three years
and a major part of this will be invested in the renewable energy market and to expand
presence in value priced products. Siemens plans to invest EUR70m (INR4.3bn) in the
first phase for the Baroda project, to set up a 250MW manufacturing capacity for wind
turbines. The Indian wind energy market size is ~1,800-2,000MW (~INR100bn). Further,
this facility will act as a hub for energy-efficient automation and building solutions, a
major business for Siemens. It is in the process of acquiring land for the unit, which will
sell medium to low-end wind turbines globally, mainly to emerging markets like India.
The plant is expected to take off by FY12e.

Idea Cellular Limited
Get ‘idea’

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Well positioned for long-term value creation
Idea Cellular is the fifth largest telecom operator in India, in terms of wireless
subscriber market share, but third in terms of revenues. Thanks to its attractive
2G/3G spectrum footprint, strong brand and execution capabilities, we expect
Idea to further consolidate its position as a Tier-I wireless operator, alongside
Bharti and Vodafone-Essar.
Significant catch up in operational/financial metrics likely
We expect Idea to continue to outperform industry revenue growth, owing to
its 2G footprint expansion and favourable base-effect in terms of total subs as
well as MOU/sub. More importantly, Idea's wireless EBITDA margin (~21%
in 2QFY11) is significantly lower compared to Bharti (37%). We expect the
gap to narrow (to <10pps) over medium to long term, driven by turnaround
in 10 new circles (incl. Karnataka), and higher revenue scale in older circles.

Returns (%)

FCF break-even in FY12e
Idea's net profit would see a sharp drop in FY12e due to 3G-related costs
(amortisation and interest). Nonetheless, it is likely to achieve FCFF-breakeven,
driven by higher operating FCF and moderation in capex. We forecast net
debt of ~INR123bn by end-FY12e (excl. Indus), as against INR93bn presently.

Shareholding pattern

Valuation and outlook
Idea’s stock currently trades at FY12e/13e EV/EBITDA of 7.8x/6.4x. However,
excluding the tower business (INR20/share), the core wireless business is
being valued at 7.4x/6.1x FY12e/13e EV/EBITDA. With prospects of >20%
EBITDA CAGR over the next 2-3 years, we believe Idea's forward EV/EBITDA
valuation is likely to sustain at around 7.5x, implying a share price of INR85
by Dec-11 (>20% absolute upside potential). Key downside risks are: Irrational
competition post introduction of MNP, levy of one-time fee for additional
spectrum held by incumbents.

Idea Cellular

Investment rationale
Potential to outperform

Idea has steadily gained
revenue market share over the
last few years

Idea's operating and financial metrics are significantly lower than those of 'senior'
GSM operators like Bharti and Vodafone-Essar. Prima-facie, this indicates potential
for superior revenue and EBITDA growth relative to the industry and closest peers.
Idea has steadily gained revenue market share over the last few years, thanks to
expansion in geographic footprint, increased capex spend in established circles, and
strong brand/execution. The company should continue to deliver superior revenue
growth in our view, thanks to base-effect (lower market share of net-adds and MOU
per sub versus peers).
More importantly, Idea's wireless EBITDA margin (~21% in 2QFY11) is significantly
below that of market leader Bharti (~37%). We expect this gap to narrow over the
medium-to-long term, driving Idea's out-performance at the EBITDA level versus its
larger rivals. At present, Idea's margins are weighed down by start-up losses in the
nine new circles, poor margins in the Karnataka circle (acquired from Spice), as well
as lower network utilisation and revenue scale in the older circles.

1QFY12e, driven by 3G-related costs (spectrum fee amortization, depreciation and
interest). However, this is well known and already reflected in the share price. For the
next 1-2 years, we believe investors should focus on Idea's EBITDA growth and FCF
generation and not on earnings. We expect the company to turn FCFF positive by end
of FY12e; however, given the high interest burden, Idea's net-debt is unlikely to start
coming down until end-FY13e.

Valuation and outlook
Idea’s stock currently trades at FY12e/13e EV/EBITDA of 7.8x/6.4x. However,
excluding the tower business (INR20/share), the core wireless business is being valued
at 7.4x/6.1x FY12e/13e EV/EBITDA.

We upgrade our
recommendation to BUY on
current levels with a target
price of INR85

With prospects of >20% EBITDA CAGR over the next 2-3 years, we believe Idea's
forward EV/EBITDA valuation is likely to sustain at around 7.5x, implying a share
price of INR85 by Dec-11 (>20% absolute upside potential). We upgrade our
recommendation to BUY on current levels.
Key downside risks are: Irrational competition post introduction of MNP, levy of onetime fee for additional spectrum held by incumbents.

COMPANY UPDATE

Sun TV Network Limited
Shining ‘Bright’ as ever!

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Sustained leadership commanding premium
With sustained dominance in the South regional genre, which seconds
the Hindi GEC genre in terms of viewership, Sun TV Network (Sun) is able
to command premium ad rates in these markets. As a result, Sun TV has
managed to increase its ad rates every year during the month of January.
We expect scale benefits to persist and estimate advertisement revenue
CAGR of 25% over FY10-12e
Growing digitisation and movie portfolio
Sun’s DTH business is growing with a CAGR of 29% over FY10-12e. This,
coupled with a healthy growth in its movie business with a portfolio of 8-10
movie releases per year, are key positives and triggers for Sun’s revenue
growth. Going forward, we estimate a total revenue growth of 28% and 20%
in FY11e and FY12e, respectively.

Investment rationale
Stronger ad revenues in 3Q and 4Q
Historically, the company has always seen a jump in 3Q and 4Q revenues due to
strong ad momentum from festival season and hike in advertisement rates. After posting
a 32% YoY growth in 1HFY11, we expect a stronger 2HFY11 and estimate 28% and
21% growth in FY11e and FY12e.

EBITDA margin to remain strong
Due to the cost structure of the industry wherein a large portion of costs are fixed, we
expect the increase in Sun’s revenues to generate significant operating leverage and
drive EBITDA growth. We have estimated EBITDA CAGR of 30% during FY10-12e.

Strong balance sheet and cash flow
Sun is a zero-debt company with a net cash balance of INR5-6bn as of 2QFY11.
This adds a significant degree of comfort, since the company is free to pursue any
organic/ inorganic growth options, without leveraging. Going forward, we estimate
an RoCE of 38% and 41% for FY11e and FY12e, respectively.

Sun TV Network

Valuation and outlook
Sun’s has successfully maintained its dominance in the South regional genre over
the years and we expect the same to continue going forward. Consequently, we
expect its ability to command premium ad rates in these markets. We feel that
Jan’11 will see a hike in its ad rates, in keeping with its annual practice of increasing
ad rates in January every year. We estimate advertisement revenue CAGR of 25%
over FY10-12e, thereby generating benefits of scale.
We believe that the rapid digitisation of content will result in an increase in viewership
and subscription revenues. Additionally, Sun’s foray into movie production should
serve as an additional stream of revenues. Lastly, turnover should get a fillip from the
new Sun-18 JV, which is targetted at the regional population in non-Hindi speaking
markets.
Sun TV is a net cash company (INR5.6bn as of 2QFY11); with RoCE of 41% and twoyear earnings CAGR of 31% between FY10-12e, making it the most attractive
proposition in the media sector.

We reiterate a BUY with a
target price of INR624

Historically, it has traded at one-year forward average P/E of ~30x and at the current
market price, the company is trading at P/E of 23.3x on FY12e EPS and 11.4x on
FY12e EV/EBITDA basis. We reiterate a BUY with a target price of INR624 based on
average of FY12 P/E of 30x and 12x EV/EBITDA.

Strong focus on branch expansion and CASA to help maintain margins
Management’s focus on branch expansion and investment in technology has
yielding results with the bank gaining market share in CASA deposits. Savings
deposits have averaged 20% over the last five years which should help Union
Bank (UBI) maintain its margins at current levels in a rising interest scenario.

Asset quality pains to ease in 2HFY11e
We believe that slippages for the bank are likely to stabilise in 2HFY11 after
disappointments in 1H, whereby slippages have been at INR17bn.
Management has attributed the higher than expected deterioration in asset
quality due to "one- offs' (INR4.2bn from agriculture debt relief scheme and
INR3.1bn aided by three large accounts); and is guiding slippages to
normalise to INR5-6bn per quarter going ahead. We are building in credit
costs at 85bps in FY11e and 60bps in FY12e.

asset quality and higher pension expenses. However, current valuations at
1.3 FY12e P/BV (25-30% discount to BoB and PNB) more than adequately

backed by strong earnings.

Investment rationale
Strong focus on branch expansion and CASA to help maintain margins
A strong focus to grow its branch network and invest in technology has placed UBI
among few PSU banks, which have been gaining market share in CASA deposits.
Bank’s average CASA deposits have increased from ~27-28% to 32%. Although CASA
ratio at 32% is still lower than industry standards, a faster growth and market share
gains definitely augurs well for sustainability of margins in a higher interest rate
environment. We forecast calculated margins for UBI to be at 2.6% for both FY11e
and FY12e (an improvement of 25bps over FY10) resulting in strong NII growth.

Asset quality pains to ease in 2HFY11e
The bank has made it a bit of a habit of delivering disappointing results with substantial
deterioration in asset quality over the last couple of quarters. 2QFY11 has been no
different with slippages coming in at INR11bn as against market expectations of INR8bn.
Management has attributed the higher than expected deterioration in asset quality due
to "one- offs' (INR4.2bn from agriculture debt relief scheme and INR3.1bn due to three
large accounts); and is guiding slippages to normalise to INR5-6bn per quarter going
ahead. We are estimating credit costs at 85bps in FY11e and 60bps in FY12e.

Cost ratios to trend upwards due to pension liability
We are building in operating costs to increase 34% YoY in FY11e to account for
higher than expected pension liability for the second pension option at INR24bn.
Cost to income ratio for the bank is likely to increase from 40% in FY10 to 46% in
FY12e to account for the higher provisions that the bank will have to make related to
pension liability.

Valuation and outlook
While earnings growth for UBI could be muted in FY11e at 1.6%, we are likely to see
strong rebound in return ratios in FY12e backed by strong earnings. We expect earnings
to grow at 26% in FY12e driven by lower credit costs on account of stabilisation in
asset quality and margins. We are estimating credit cost to peak in FY11e to 85bps
and trend downwards to 60bps in FY12e. Further, the bank has made significant
strides on its liability franchise due to strong branch expansion with savings deposit
growth maintained at ~20% over the last five years - amongst the highest within PSU
banks. This should help UBI maintain its margins at current levels in a rising rate
scenario.

COMPANY UPDATE

Shriram Transport Finance Co Limited
On growth highway

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Shriram Transport Finance Company Limited (STFC) is the largest asset
financing NBFC in India, with an AUM of over INR300bn. Over the years, it
has established its presence and reach via a strong network of origination,
disbursement and collection in many pockets of India and also has developed
a strong brand equity in the CV financing.

Current Reco
Previous Reco
CMP
Target Price
Potential Upside

Strong CV cycle; pre-owned vehicles sales benefitting from supply
constrains in new vehicles

Market data

Demand momentum for STFC continues to be robust. The company believes
that the sporadic shortage of new vehicles, which is largely due to constraints
from ancillary suppliers, offers strong tailwinds for the company as it results in
higher turnover in the used vehicles segment.
Liability franchise: Getting stronger
STFC has managed to alter its borrowing profile for advantageous means
and now around 75% of its borrowings are fixed-rate in nature. Thus, the
possibility of a squeeze on NIMs from any hardening of benchmark rates is
likely to have minimal impact on the company's operations.

We expect STFC’s AUM to reach INR500bn by FY13e, from current to over
INR300bn. This growth is likely to be supported by a sharper focus on scaling
up partnerships developed with private financiers.

Shareholding pattern
FII

Valuation and outlook
The stock is currently trading at 2.9x FY12e BV and 10.6 FY12e EPS - a
premium to other NBFCs, which we believe is justified given the quasimonopolistic nature of its business, robust track record of asset quality across
business cycles and superior return ratios.
We reiterate our BUY recommendation with a target price of INR950/share.
At our target price, the stock would trade at 3.5x its FY12e BV and 13x its
FY12e EPS.

Shriram Transport Finance

Investment rationale
Strong CV cycle; pre-owned vehicles sales benefitting from supply
constrains in new vehicles
Demand momentum for STFC continues to be robust. The company believes that the
sporadic shortage of new vehicles, which is largely due to constraints from ancillary
suppliers, offers strong tailwinds for the company as it results in higher turnover in the
used vehicles segment.
The freight capacity in the system is moving up. This along with gradual hardening of
freights rates (demand aided by pass through of operational costs) and change in
freight carrier movement patterns (to a hub and spoke model) has stoked demand for
pre-owned vehicles. Thus, the demand from rural, semi-urban and urban markets
continues to be on a strong footing.

Liability franchise: Getting stronger
STFC has managed to alter its borrowing profile for advantageous means and now
around 75% of its borrowings are fixed-rate in nature. Thus, the possibility of a squeeze
on NIMs from any hardening of benchmark rates is likely to have minimal impact on
the company's operations. Moreover, the company is also able to re-price incremental
loans quite finely. STFC is also aggressively garnering retail deposits, and we believe
that this move would be beneficial on account of: 1) Mitigating interest rate risk by
locking long term deposits at fixed rates; 2) Raising retail deposits will create stability;
3) Matching the lending and borrowing bucket (Retail borrowing 3, 5 & 7 years),
thereby mitigating ALM mismatch.
Increased securitisation will help minimise the impact of rising
interest rates

Increasing the retail base will help

AUM to touch INR500bn by FY13e
We expect STFC to record a 20% CAGR in pre-owned CV disbursements and a
slightly higher 22% CAGR for new CVs (due to the lower base in FY10). AUM growth
is estimated to be in line with disbursals at 20% through FY13e (balance sheet growth
is likely to be higher owing to a smaller base in FY10 led by substantial securitisation
in 4QFY10). Growth is likely to be supported by a sharper focus on scaling up
partnerships developed with private financiers.
Unorganised moneylenders control ~70-75% of the market in the pre-owned CV financing
space. STFC, currently has tie-ups with more than 500 such private financiers and loans

originated through them constitute ~10% of incremental disbursals and 5% of outstanding

Valuation and outlook
Best in class return ratios support premium valuations
STFC has a unique business model and strong competencies in the CV financing
space. In our view, it would be difficult for any other bank or financial institution to
compete with the company in its niche area in the near to medium term. It is likely to
report an NII and earnings CAGR of 26% and 25% respectively over FY10-FY13e,
driven by strong demand outlook for CVs, improvement in NIMs and stable asset quality.
Niche presence in a high yielding segment and tight control on loan recovery, STFC has
reported one of the best profitability ratios in the banking and financial services space.
Average RoA stood at over 3% over FY05-10 with average RoE of 25%+. We expect
RoA to improve further to ~4.1 over FY11e-13e due to further improvement in NIMs
(driven by higher securitisation). However, owing to lower leverage on the balance
sheet (given the recent capital raising of INR5.8 bn), RoE is likely to remain ~26-28%.

We reiterate a BUY
recommendation with a target
price of INR950/share

The stock is currently trading at 2.9x FY12e BV and 10.6 FY12e EPS - a premium to
other NBFCs, which we believe is justified given the quasi-monopolistic nature of its
business, robust track record of asset quality across business cycles and superior
return ratios. We reiterate a BUY recommendation with a target price of INR950/sh.
At our target price, the stock would trade at 3.5x FY12e BV and 13x FY12e EPS.

27 December, 2010

Valuation and outlook
After adjusting for the value of company's major subsidiaries and stake in
ING (valued at INR9 and INR10 per share, respectively), the CMP of INR164
discounts our FY11e and FY12e earnings of the core battery business by
17.5x and 14.6x respectively. We believe that the company is the best proxy
for the underlying buoyancy in the Indian automobile industry and hence
justifies the premium valuations. This also provides strong earnings visibility we estimate FY10-13e earnings CAGR of 23%. We recommend a BUY with
an SOTP-based target price of INR198, which provides a 21% upside.

The company currently meets 45% of its lead requirement from its two captive
smelters and plans to increase the contribution to 70% within the next two
years. This would not only reduce its exposure on foreign exchange volatility
(20% of lead is still imported) but also entail significant cost benefits as
captive lead is estimated to be almost 10% cheaper.

Over the last eight years, the Indian domestic automobile industry has grown
at a CAGR of 14%. On an average, every vehicle battery is replaced after
three years. This augurs well for EIL since it has a 68% market share in the
organized battery replacement market (which is approximately 50% of total
replacement market). An inherent advantage that EIL enjoys is that
approximately 3/4th of the vehicles on road already have EIL batteries and
when they come up for replacement clients usually prefer the same brand.

EIL is the market leader in the OEM segment with a market share of over 75%, driven
by its strong brand image and product range. It has a range of well established
brands like EXIDE, SF, SONIC and Standard Furukawa that caters to the domestic
clients. In the overseas markets, the products are sold under brand names like DYNEX,
INDEX and SONIC brands. Besides its strong R&D base, EIL has a technical
collaboration with Shin Kobe Denki, Japan and Furukawa Battery Company for
automotive technology. This has enabled EIL to constantly upgrade its product mix
and launch new products which find usage across diverse segments.
Given EIL's dominant market share in the OEM segment and its superior distribution
network in the replacement market, EIL is poised to be the biggest beneficiary of the
uptrend in auto industry volumes. This will also help to sustain its overall revenue
growth as automobile industry accounts for 68% of its total sales.

Antique Stock Broking Limited

Over the last seven years, Indian domestic automobile industry has grown at a CAGR of
11% and in the last two years (FY10 and YTDFY11) it has been over 20%. This trend
augurs well for EIL which benefits from the replacement demand for batteries given that
on an average, every vehicle battery is replaced after three years. Hence, in addition to
the growth accruing from new models through OEMs, demand from the fast growing
higher margin replacement market will provide an impetus to the company's profitability.

With the organised players
strengthening their presence
in rural markets, the
contribution from the
unorganised sector is
gradually reducing

Within the replacement segment passenger vehicles accounts for 65%, two wheelers
for 20% and CVs for the balance 15%. Penetration of the commercial vehicles and
tractors segments are much smaller in the replacement segment since they are largely
dominated by the unorganised market. However, with the organised players
strengthening their presence in rural markets, the contribution from the unorganised
sector (currently 50% of the battery replacement industry) is gradually reducing.

68% market share in
organised auto replacement

Antique Stock Broking Limited

EIL has a 68% market share in the organized battery replacement market (which is
approximately 50% of total replacement market). An inherent advantage that EIL
enjoys is that approximately 75% of the cars already have EIL batteries and when they
come up for replacement clients usually prefer the same brand. We estimate the
revenue contribution from the same to increase from 36% in FY10 to 39% in FY12e as
the company targets the untapped CV and tractor replacement markets currently
dominated by the unorganised players.

Expect auto replacement to
account for 40% of revenues
going ahead

In addition to the strong brand image that the company enjoys, EIL's success in the
replacement segment is further strengthened by its extensive distribution network
christened "Exide Care". There is scope for further penetration into the tractor and CV
battery market as it still remains largely unorganised.
Besides enabling growth in volumes for EIL, the replacement market also augurs well
for the profitability of the company as the segment enjoys higher margins as compared
to the OEM segment.
With a view to further increase its penetration across India, EIL has further expanded
its marketing and distribution set up by increasing the number of marketing offices to
around 200 as compared to 30 earlier. It has undertaken "Project Kissan", which
largely targets the rural customers by increasing the awareness about brand Exide. It
has also entered into arrangements with IOC, HPCL and other OMCs for distribution
of its products through their retail outlets. This will significantly help EIL to extend its
presence across Tier II and Tier III cities, given that the three major OMCs (i.e., IOC,
HPCL & BPCL) combined have over 38,000 petrol pumps across the country.

Captive lead - Helps sustain high margins!
Captive smelters expected to
meet 70% of lead requirement
in FY13e

Lead is the primary raw material for EIL and it meets a significant proportion of its
lead requirements through imports. Lead accounts for 70-75% of the total cost of a
battery. Of the total lead requirements, 60-65% is pure lead and the balance is lead
alloys. Lead is imported from Australia, China, Europe, etc. and 100% of the lead
procurement is on a spot basis. Domestically, the company procures lead from Hindustan
Zinc Ltd., which too is primarily on a spot basis.
The volatility in lead prices in the global markets coupled with the volatility in foreign
currency has a direct bearing on EIL's operating costs. To reduce its exposure on
foreign exchange volatility, EIL has increased its lead off-take through captive sources
which also provides cost benefits in lead sourcing. EIL has two smelting units with a
total capacity of 36,000 tonnes per annum. It acquired 100% in Tandon Metals
(erstwhile Chloride Metals Ltd), Pune in October 2007. It also acquired 51% stake in
Leadage Alloys, Karnataka in June 2008 and recently hiked it to 100%.

Exide Industries Limited
The company currently meets 45% of its lead requirement from its captive smelters and
plans to increase the contribution to 70% within the next 2 years. This would not only
reduce its exposure on foreign exchange volatility (20% of lead is still imported) but
also entail significant cost benefits as captive lead is estimated to be almost 10%
cheaper.

Valuation and outlook
After adjusting for the value of the company's major subsidiaries and stake in ING
(valued at INR9 and INR10 per share, respectively), the CMP of INR160 discounts
our FY11e and FY12e earnings of the core battery business by x and x respectively.
We believe that the company is the best proxy for the underlying buoyancy in the
Indian automobile industry and hence justifies the premium valuations. This also provides
strong earnings visibility - we estimate FY10-13e earnings CAGR of 23%.

Reiterate BUY with SOTP
based target price of INR198

We recommend a BUY with an SOTP-based target price of INR198, which provides a
21% upside from the current levels.

Dish TV Limited (DTV) has consistently maintained its leadership position in
the Indian DTH industry with 32% market share and a strong subscriber base
of 9.2m as on Nov 30, 2010. We estimate Dish TV’s gross subscriber base
to reach ~14.9m by FY13e, whereby the company can leverage on its high
fixed content cost.

After seeing a stable ARPU over the past few quarters, DTH players with
overall market share of ~28% in C&S may witness a surge of 3-6% in ARPUs
during FY12e. Dish TV, which commands leadership in the DTH market, is
likely to witness an increase of ~6% to reach INR150 by FY12e. Growth in
ARPU alongwith a strong subscriber base and spreading of overheads over a
large base will help expand margins.

The company has been able to reduce its SAC consistently over the last few
quarters resulting from increasing subscriber base and rupee appreciation.
We estimate the trend to continue in coming years and thus reduce the capex
requirement per incremental subscriber.

Valuation and outlook
Growth in subscriber base and ARPU followed by declining content cost and
SAC leads to a high growth potential for Company’s revenue and EBITDA.
ARPU has strong sensitivity towards DTH business cash flows; a mere 5%
change in ARPU is likely to result 14% increase in forecasted EBITDA for
FY12e. The upward revision in subscription packs gives strong confidence in
the scale and leadership built by DTV.
At the CMP of INR65, DTV is trading at 14.8x EV/EBITDA on FY12e basis.
We have valued the company at 20x EV/EBITDA on FY12e basis. We
reiterate our BUY recommendation with an increased target price of INR91,
which provides a potential upside of 38%.

Investment rationale
DTV’s leadership position to command premium
The overall increase in subscription charges amidst six players' DTH industry is indicating
the receding concerns of fierce competition and leadership capability of DTV which
warrants significant rerating. We have increased our ARPU from INR140 to INR150 for
FY12e and have increased gross addition in subscriber base by 0.5m for both FY11e
and FY12e. This resulted an overall increase in estimates of EBITDA and EPS by
INR1,088m and INR0.70, respectively for FY12e. Below table shows change in estimates.

Increasing market and incremental market share
The DTH market increased from 23.2m subscribers in 1QFY11 to 29m as on Nov
2010 and Dish TV has been able to achieve an incremental market share of 29%.
After a successful festive season, the Cricket World Cup will drive the next spur and
the DTH market is all set to achieve an average monthly run rate of 1m subs. We have
modeled gross addition of 3.5m and 2.5m subs in FY11e and FY12e, respectively.

Falling subscriber acquisition cost
With increasing subscriber base, the SG&A cost per subscriber acquisition reduces.
This coupled with rupee appreciation has helped the company reduce its SAC cost
over the last few quarters. We expect the trend to continue and with falling CPE
(Customer Premises Equipment) costs in coming years, the capex requirement per
subscriber acquisition will reduce.

Valuation and outlook
ARPU has high sensitivity to earnings
ARPU has strong sensitivity towards DTH business cash flows. Even a 5% change in
ARPU would result in 14% increase in forecasted EBITDA for FY12e. DTV will become
cash positive in FY12e itself with strong subscriber additions.

Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited
Making the right moves

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Revenue growth to be aided by same store growth and space expansion
According to the management, the growth in revenues would be driven equally
by same store sales and expansion of retailing space. According to our
estimates, the retail space would grow by1.6m square feet during FY11 and
1.8m square feet per annum during FY12 and FY13. We expect sales to
grow by 23% CAGR during FY10-13e.
Reduction in inventory to reduce working capital and aid cash flows
Pantaloon's key focus and the game changer going ahead would be the
management of inventory. The company is focusing on reducing its inventory
requirement by primarily focusing on increasing the inventory turns through
increase in contribution of foods and improvement in inventory turns of fashion.

With the ongoing re-structuring initiative primarily aimed towards focusing
on core retail operations, we think that the company is back in business. We
believe that the stock would trade at a one-year forward PE of 20x, implying
FY12e value per share of INR450 for the core retail operations. Further, its
stake in future capital holdings would fetch a value per share of INR23, after
factoring in a holding company discount of 20%. Therefore, we arrive at a
target price of INR473 in a time span of 12-18 months.

Pantaloon Retail India

Investment rationale
Revenue growth to be aided equally by same store growth and space expansion
Pantaloon’s management is targeting a space addition of 2-2.5m square feet per annum
during the next three years. Further, it targets to grow revenues at 25-30% CAGR during
the next three years. According to the management, the growth in revenues would be
driven equally by same store sales and expansion of retailing space. Therefore the
management has been indicating at a 12-15% growth in retailing space and a 12-15%
same store growth. According to our estimates, the retail space would grow by1.6m
square feet per annum during FY11e, while during FY12e and FY13e retail space
would grow by 1.8m square feet. We expect sales to grow by 23% CAGR during
FY10-13e. We estimate a same store growth of 10% in value retailing while same store
growth in lifestyle retailing and value retailing will be to the tune of 12% and 15%
respectively. During FY11, the company has added about 0.4mn square feet in 1QFY11
and plans to add another 0.3-0.4m square feet of retailing space during 2QFY11. For
the full year FY11, the company plans to add close to 1.8-2.0m square feet.
Reduction in inventory to reduce working capital and aid cash flows
Pantaloon's key focus and the game changer for the company going ahead would be
inventory management. It is focusing on reducing its inventory requirement by focusing
on increasing the inventory turns. The company targets to reduce its inventory
outstanding days by about 30% during the next 2-3 years. This strategy in turn would
lead to lower working capital requirement as inventory forms about 60% of Pantaloon's
current assets. This would be primarily through increase in the contribution from foods
and the increase in inventory turnover or reduction in inventory outstanding days of
fashion. Pantaloon plans to increase the contribution of foods from 33-35% of total
sales to 40-45% of sales in the next 3-4 years. The international standard for food's
contribution to retail sales stands at 60%. However with the expansions happening on
a consistent basis, the company at best would increase it to 40-45%. According to
our estimates, foods has a high inventory turnover of about 8-10x which would in turn
would lead to lower inventory outstanding days. The reduction in inventory foods
would be through higher focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, which structurally have
a higher inventory turnover. Further the company wants to improve the inventory turnover
in fashion. Big retailers like Zara have inventory turnover of about 7-8x.
Increase of Private label in foods to aid profitability
Pantaloon is working towards increasing the private label contribution in foods to 20%
from 7% in the next 3-4yrs. We estimate that the average differential gross margins in
foods between private label and branded is to the tune of about 500-700bps. Therefore
the increase in contribution of foods from 33-35% to 40-45% coupled with the
improvement in profitability of the category aided by higher contribution of private
labels, would lead to higher profitability for the core retail operations.
Home Town gaining traction with changing lifestyle
With the improvement in lifestyle and growing awareness of aesthetics, Home Town
and the overall home solution business is gaining traction and is expected to witness
accelerated sales growth in the coming years. We expect Home solutions to break
even by FY12e with strong growth in sales of home town.

Pantaloon Retail India
Hiving off of financial services and insurance would free up cash

Pantaloon plans to hive off its
financial services (FCH) and
insurance business and merge
it into a separate company

Pantaloon plans to hive off its financial services (FCH) and insurance business and
merge it in to a separate company. This would lead to an increased focus on its retail
business apart from freeing-up funds for the core operations as the insurance business
attracts entails an annual investment of ~INR0.8-1bn. According to the company,
restructuring is expected to happen over a period of 12-18 months. Currently, it is
facing regulatory hurdles for hiving off its insurance business and merging it with FCH
as the former business is governed by IRDA while FCH is an NBFC governed by RBI.
Pantaloon will first hive off its financial services venture and will follow it up by demerging
its insurance venture.
FDI in multi-brand would be an added advantage
The DIPP has floated discussion papers to liberalize FDI policy in retail. While the
process of consulting the retailing companies is over, the government is yet to take a
formal call on the issue. Indian retailers, expect that there is a high probability of FDI
in multi-brand to happen in a phased manner going ahead. In the initial phase, the
FDI could be capped at 24-25% and gradually could be increased over the years.
However, we understand the government is facing strong resistance from the states on
the issue and uncertainty looms large over the sector. In a scenario of allowance of
FDI in multi-brand retail, it would be a bigger positive for Pantaloon as it has been in
talks with the French retailer, Carrefour for a while. On account of uncertainty, Pantaloon
is now planning to enter in to a franchisee agreement with the global retailer.
Core business to post a CAGR of 23% in revenues and 47% in PAT during FY10-13e
Pantaloon's Core retail is expected to grow by 23% CAGR to INR165bn during FY1013e. We expect EBITDA to grow by 22% CAGR during the period, however higher
sales coupled with higher inventory turns and lower working capital requirement would
lead to lower interest outgo and hence higher profit after tax. We expect profit after
tax for the core retail to grow by 47% to INR5.3bn during FY10-13e.

Valuation and outlook

We reiterate a BUY on the
stock with a target price of
INR473

Antique Stock Broking Limited

At CMP of INR360, the stock is trading at a PE of 32.5x FY11e and at 23.8x FY12e.
The stock has been consistently de-rated due to the concerns of free cash flow generation
and de-focus on core business, retail. However, with the ongoing re-structuring initiative,
we believe that the company is back in business. We expect the company to be the
biggest beneficiary of the changing demographics and the strong growth expected in
the organised retail sector due to its wide spread retail network and comprehensive
portfolio of formats.
We therefore believe that the stock would trade at a PE of 20x, FY13e earnings,
providing value per share of INR450 for the core retail operations. Further, its stake in
future capital holdings would fetch a value per share of INR23, after factoring in a
holding company discount of 20%. Therefore, we arrive at a target price of INR473
for the company in a time span of 12-18 months.

COMPANY UPDATE

Aurobindo Pharma Limited
Execution mode

27 December, 2010

Aurobindo Pharma (Aurobindo) has over the years emerged as a preferred
supplier to global pharma majors and has entered into long-term supply
contracts with them. It has entered into a 15-year licensing and supply
arrangement with Pfizer for the supply of 40 products in the orals and injectable
segment. As per the agreement, Pfizer will in-license an array of generic pills
and injectable medicines from Aurobindo, as it looks at off-patent medicines
for the growth. We estimate that the deal with Pfizer can boost revenue by
USD200m by FY14e for the company. The current agreements are targeted
towards US and European markets and will continue to explore ways to
further extend this partnership.
Pfizer sales witnessed a pick-up in Europe during 2QFY11 and we expect the
sales to Rest of the World (RoW) to commence during 2HFY11. A major part
of the revenue for Aurobindo is now emerging from this out-licensing and
dossier deals with Pfizer. It has also signed a licensing and supply deal with
AstraZeneca during the quarter for marketing its products in emerging markets.
Deals improve utilisation levels and allow entry into niche segments
Aurobindo is moving up the value chain by entering niche formulation segments
of oral contraceptives, controlled substances as well as injectables. Pfizer
and AstraZeneca deals help increasing presence in the branded generic
segment and improving utilisation levels of existing infrastructure resulting in
better realisation on sales generated in the regulated markets.

Aurobindo Pharma

Investment rationale
Pfizer-like deals improve execution capabilities of Aurobindo

Deals improve utilisation
levels and allow entry into
niche segments

Aurobindo has over the years emerged as a preferred supplier to global pharma
majors and has entered into long-term supply contracts with them. It has entered into
a 15-year licensing and supply arrangement with Pfizer for the supply of 40 products
in the orals and injectable segment. As per the agreement, Pfizer will in-license an
array of generic pills and injectable medicines from Aurobindo, as it looks at offpatent medicines for the growth. We estimate that the deal with Pfizer can boost
revenue by USD200m by FY14e. The current agreements are targeted towards US
and European markets and will continue to explore ways to further extend this
partnership.

Significant ramp up in capacity utilisation

Increased product ramp-up
from the Pfizer and
AstraZeneca deal will further
boost the utilisation levels

The company has commissioned its formulation facility Unit VII in Hyderabad SEZ. It
has invested INR2.2bn for setting up a large manufacturing unit to cater to growing
demand for generic drugs from supply contracts and exports market. The facility would
cater to high value non-betallactum products for regulated markets and will further
enhance Aurobindo's capabilities in providing comprehensive pharma manufacturing,
distribution, services and solutions to its customers including global alliances. This
facility has an annual capacity to manufacture 6bn tablets (which can be increased
up to 18bn tablets with minimum incremental capex). We expect the capacity utilisation
to increase to 45-50% by the end of FY11e from the current levels of 30% (in three
months of operations). Increased product ramp-up from the Pfizer and AstraZeneca
deal will further lead the utilisation levels to increase by FY12e.

Streamlining operations for better performance
The company restructured its European operations and modified the product portfolio
by discontinuing low margin products and entering into licensing agreements with
MNCs. In these, revenues are in the form of milestone payments and supply contracts.
It has tie-ups with approximately 70 other formulators across EU countries and expects
a substantial chunk of revenues to flow in the coming quarters through other formulation
supplies. We expect the EU business to further ramp up in the coming quarters.

Increased allocations to PEPFAR and WHO aids ARV business
Aurobindo has the biggest basket of ARVs (anti-retrovirals) in the world. Given the
association with PEPFAR and the Clinton Foundation, the company is the largest
beneficiary in this segment. US has expanded the budget for PEPFAR from USD19bn
in CY08 by additional quantum of USD16.6bn in CY09 in order to increase the
scope of HIV medication. However, most of the allocated money currently remains
unutilised and thereby resulting in an opportunity for Aurobindo to bid for more
contracts and expand its revenues from the ARV business. The company is presently
scaling up its capacities to supply the ARVs in the developing markets of India, Africa
and Thailand.

Aurobindo Pharma

Vertical integration maintains margins

Aurobindo has a sustainable
competitive advantage
because of its backward
integration and large product
filing

Utilisation of its own APIs for its formulations has been the biggest advantage for
Aurobindo. Approximately 95% of its key intermediates and APIs are sourced captively.
This has helped Aurobindo broaden its product offerings from antibiotics & ARVs to
lifestyle related segments such as CVS, CNS and GI. We expect the company to shift
its focus from SPPs to high margin cephs. On the formulations front, it caters to the
high margin niche segments of oral contraceptives, controlled-release products, sterile
injectable and other lifestyle ailments. In the US, Aurobindo has 148 DMF filings - the
highest among Indian company - and has filed a total of 1,667 DMF filings globally.
We believe Aurobindo has a sustainable competitive advantage because of its
backward integration and large product filing.

Changing business-mix, increased capacities to expand margins
Aurobindo has transformed its business model from being a pure API play to a highend formulations player with presence in the regulated markets of US and EU. Its
inorganic presence in the less-penetrated markets of Europe and US and changing
product mix in formulations segment such as oral contraceptives, controlled substances
and sterile injectables will result higher revenues in FY11e and FY12e. We expect the
company to reduce its focus on APIs as most of the output will be captively utilised.
With improving proportion of high-margin formulations, the gross margins are expected
to expand from 47% in FY09 to 54% in FY11e and 59% in FY12e. However,
manufacturing efficiencies and lower selling costs will result in margin expansion.
Moreover, higher employee cost due to scaling up of US and EU operations and RoW
will impact margins. EBIDTA margins are likely to improve from 16.8% in FY09 to
25% in FY11e.

Strengthening balance sheet
FCCB conversion to deleverage
the balance sheet

With rising contribution to the revenues from regulated markets, venturing into newer
business areas to improve capacity utilisation levels and focus on niche-APIs in the
domestic and international markets, we expect Aurobindo to generate strong operating
cash flow in the coming years. The company has incurred INR6bn in capex over the
past two years and we expect an additional capex of INR3bn over FY11-12. Healthy
operational cash flows should help the company improve its leverage from the present
1.0x to 0.3x in FY12e.

Valuation and outlook

We reiterate a BUY with a
target price of INR1,641 at
current levels

Antique Stock Broking Limited

The ramp-up in the regulated markets on the back of supply tie-ups across geographies
enables Aurobindo to have a better product mix with a transition towards selling highend formulations. Additionally all concerns such as leveraged balance sheet, lower
growth, and profitability and return ratios have been effectively addressed. Aurobindo
has incurred all the required capex that can sustain growth and improve blended
utilisation rates from 65% to ~100% in the next few years.
We are of the view that Aurobindo’s transformation from an API player to formulation
player is almost complete. This would not only have a positive bearing on its growth,
but also improve its earnings quality as well. Hence, we raise our target P/E to 13x
arriving at a target price of INR1,641 and reiterate a BUY at current levels.

COMPANY UPDATE

Petronet LNG Limited
Fuelling India’s gas needs

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Natural Gas availability - The future does not look so bright
Gas demand in India is projected to grow to 305mmcmd by FY14e. However,
MoP&G's projections puts expected gas supply in most optimistic scenario at
201mmcmd by FY16e leaving a huge shortfall, further accentuated by delay
in ramp up of KG-D6 output. Petronet LNG Limited (PLL) stands to benefit from
this natural gas deficit which can be met through increased LNG import
volumes only.
PLL re-gasification capacity expansion coming at the right time
Increase in Dahej re-gasification capacity to 11.5mmtpa in FY10 and further
to 14.5mmtpa along with 2.5-5mmtpa Kochi terminal would increase PLL's
re-gasification capacity to ~20mmtpa by end of FY13E implying a CAGR of
20% over FY10-13e. Kochi expansion plans have also been brought forward
to FY13e from FY14-15e which indicates the potential of LNG demand growth
that PLL is foreseeing.
Concerns of PLL re-gasification charges being too high, are overstated
We believe concerns over PLL charging higher re-gas tariff, are not justified.
Our economic model of setting up a green field 5mmtpa LNG terminal needs
atleast INR55/mmbtu of re-gasification tariff to earn a post tax ROCE of 12%
(~regulated return). Though earning just regulated returns may not justify the
substantial risk in sourcing LNG and managing sales contract. PLL's much
lower Dahej re-gasification charges of INR32/mmbtu, reduces concerns on
the same.

We currently value PLL based on DCF methodology assuming average regas
tariff increase of 4% till FY12e and 1% thereafter, capacity of 19mmtpa by
FY14e, long-term capacity utilisation of 88%, WACC of 11% and terminal
growth rate of 1%. We recommend a BUY with a price target of INR143/
share, providing an upside of 14% from current levels.

Investment rationale
Gas demand in India - strong demand from priority sector
There is a huge gap between demand and supply of gas in India, which has necessitated
the need for new sources of gas. Power and fertilizers are the largest consumers of
natural gas in India, together comprising around 65% of domestic demand.
Demand for natural gas by various priority sectors identified by the EGoM is expected
to grow to 266mmcmd by FY14e from present supplies of 136mmcmd. This results in
18% CAGR growth in demand growth from priority sector over FY10-14e

As opposed to the rising demand conditions, natural gas production is not expected
to rise by much over the next 5-6 years, according to estimates by the petroleum
ministry. Total availability of domestic gas during FY11e has been pegged at
143mmcmd and will go up only to 187mmcmd by FY16e, an increase of just
44mmcmd. Even the most optimistic estimates assume the availability of natural gas
at 202mmcmd by FY16e, an increase of 59mmcmd.

LNG import volumes to plug the gap
This clearly paves way for PLL to meet the deficit through imported LNG volumes. XI-XII
Plan estimated for LNG supply outlook further confirms our optimism. According to
the ministry of Petroleum, LNG supply is going to rise from 32mmcmd in FY08 to
60mmcmd in FY12e and further to 109mmcmd in FY17e implying a CAGR of 15%
for the next 5-6 years. LNG is thus expected to form almost 42% of total gas supply by
FY17e even under most conservative estimates.

PLL re-gasification capacity expansion comes at the right time

PLL’s capital expenditure estimates
for the next three years

17.1
13.9

Dahej re-gasification capacity has been increased from 6.5mmtpa to 10mmtpa (effective
1.5mmtpa) in FY10. PLL is also commissioning a new 2.5mmtpa Kochi terminal which
s expected to be completed in 4QFY12e. Kochi terminal would be further expanded
to 5mmtpa back to back in FY13e, with minimal capex of INR3bn. PLL is also planning
to set up another jetty at Dahej with a capex of INR9.5bn, which would increase the
capacity of Dahej terminal by another 3-4mmtpa and is expected to be commissioned
by mid FY13e. Thus, PLL's re-gasification capacity is slated to rise from 11.5mmtpa
currently to ~20mmtpa by FY13e, implying a CAGR of 20% over FY10-13e. Another
point to note is that the Kochi expansion plan for another 2.5mmtpa capacity addition
was earlier planned for FY14-15e which has now been brought forward to FY13e.
This clearly indicates the potential of LNG demand growth that PLL is foreseeing and
is in a favourable position to capitalise on the same, in our view.

Concerns over PLL’s re-gasification charges being too high, are
overstated

Concerns over higher
re-gasification tariff charged
by PLNG are not justified in
our view

We analysed the economics of setting up of a green-field 5MMtpa LNG terminal with
initial capital costs of INR44bn, similar to the capex budgeted by IOC for its Ennore
LNG terminal. Our analysis reveals that such an LNG terminal needs atleast INR55/
mmbtu of re-gas tariffs to earn post tax RoCE of 12%, i.e regulated returns. We,
however, believe that earning just regulated returns do not justify the substantial risk in
sourcing LNG and managing sales contract. Thus, concerns over higher re-gasification
tariff charged by PLNG are not justified, in our view.
Furthermore, at regulated return, the required charges are significantly higher than
PLNG's re-gas tariff of INR32/mmbtu at Dahej, and hence do not pose any risk of
regulation.

As per management guidance, we expect the gross re-gasification charges on
contracted sales for the Dahej terminal to increase by 4% in FY11e and thereafter by
1% each year. However, management maintains that this is subject to negotiations
with the contracted LNG off-takers.

Lower re-gas charges as
compared to new project
economics would help PLNG to
keep competition away

For the new 2.5mmtpa Kochi terminal, we have assumed gross re-gasification margin
of INR55/mmbtu in FY13 based on management guided post tax equity IRR of 1516%. This is however 15-30% lower than the management guided INR80-82/mmbtu
for the initial 1.5mmt of LNG sales from Kochi terminal and INR64-65/mmbtu as
sales increase to 2.5mmt. Moreover management was confident of securing regasification margins at INR64-65 even for additional 2.5mmt of sales after Kochi
terminal capacity is expanded to 5mmtpa. The lower re-gas charges as compared to
new project economics would help PLNG to keep competition away.

No concerns on regulating re-gasification charges
Re-gasification charges currently do not fall under any government regulations. Our
interaction with the senior MOP&G officials indicated that PNGRB would not bring
regassification charges under purview and this is not even at the thinking levels of
government think tanks. Our analysis also indicates that PLL's re-gasification tariffs will
be significantly lower than that required for green field LNG terminals, going forward
helping it to reduce regulatory concerns.

Petronet LNG Limited

Valuation and outlook
We currently value PLL based on DCF methodology assuming average regassification
tariff increase of 4% for FY12e and 1% thereafter. Key assumptions for our DCF
valuation are: capacity of 19mmtpa by FY14e, long-term capacity utilisation of 88%,
WACC of 11% and terminal growth rate of 1%.

Reiterate a BUY with a price
target of INR143/share

We reiterate a BUY with a price target of INR143/ share, providing an upside of 14%
from current market prices. We are currently not assigning any value to the company's
port and power project, given the limited visibility around the financial returns from
the same.

Shree Renuka Sugars Limited
Brazilian Samba

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Flexible cane price mechanism
Shree Renuka Sugars Limited (SRS) follows a flexible cane price mechanism
where the cane costs are linked to the sugar price, subject to the floor of Fair
and Remunerative Price (FRP), thereby minimising the cyclicality to the profits.

Healthy refining margins
The company has an operational port-based refining capacity of 2,000tpd
at Haldia and is also setting up another 3,000tpd refinery at Mundra. These
refineries will operate on a re-export model in times of surplus sugar situation
in India. The current refining spreads allow it to make healthy margins of
~USD35-40/mt.
Improving fundamentals at Brazil
With global sugar price on a firm trend, the fundamentals at Renuka Sugars
Do Brazil (RDB) and Vale Do Ivai (VDI), have improved substantially as the
companies' source part of their cane from the leased farms, where cane costs
are stable irrespective of sugar price trend.
De-leveraging of balance sheet
With improvement in profitability at RDB and VDI, we expect a considerable
improvement in the balance sheet strength over the next 15-18 months.

Shareholding pattern

Valuation and outlook
At the CMP of INR97, the stock trades at a P/E and EV/EBIDTA of 10.1x and
5.2x discounting its FY11e numbers, respectively.
We believe that the present business model of SRS should result in the company
benefiting from firm global sugar prices coupled with normalised profits from
the domestic operations. Additionally, a steady deleveraging of the balance
sheet should result in a gradual re-rating of the stock considering its scale of
operations and geographical diversification. We reiterate our BUY
recommendation on the stock with a target price of INR119.

Shree Renuka Sugars Ltd

Investment rationale
Background
Shree Renuka Sugars Limited (SRS) is the largest sugar manufacturer in southern India
with an operational capacity of 35,000tcd across seven units in Karnataka and
Maharashtra. It also has a cogen (surplus) and distillery capacity of 135MW and
930KLPD, which minimises the cyclicality to revenues and profits. SRS has followed an
asset light model to scale-up where it has acquired co-operative mills on lease. This
has helped it achieve significant scale in operations at minimal capital costs.

Flexible cane price mechanism
minimises the cyclicality to
profits

The key advantage SRS enjoys over UP-based companies is the flexible cane price
mechanism where price paid to farmers is linked to sugar prices (subject to the floor
of FRP). This enables it to minimise the cyclicality to profits even during down cycles.
Additionally, SRS has the largest sugar refining capacity in India, with an operational
capacity of 6,000tpd and expandable to 9,000tpd by 2QFY11e post commissioning
of the port-based capacity at Mundra. The business model for the port-based refineries
will be raw sugar imports for re-exports during times of surplus in India and for
domestic sales during deficit times. For FY11e, we expect the refinery to operate on a
re-export model as India’s production will match the demand.

Foray into Brazil
Seventh largest sugar
manufacturer in Brazil post
the acquisition of RDB and VDI

SRS has emerged as the seventh largest sugar manufacturer in Brazil post the acquisition
of RDB (earlier known as Equipav) and VDI in FY10. While it acquired 100% stake in
VDI at an EV of USD240m, 50.34% stake in RDB was acquired at an EV of
~USD1.15bn. It has also refinanced the existing high cost loans with USD denominated
loans, which will help reduce interest burden.
While VDI has a cane crushing capacity of 3.1mmt spread across two units in the
state of Parana, RDB has two units with a capacity of 10.5mmt in Sau Paulo. It also
has a cogen capacity of 203MW, of which ~110MW is saleable to the grid.
With the foray, SRS has gained access to four modern facilities with a total cane
crushing capacity of 13.6mmt. All the units source cane from a mix of leased farms
and third party purchase. While cane costs from third party purchases are linked to
sugar prices, cane costs from leased farms follow a steady increase that is linked to
the lease payments. Another advantage of having a presence in Brazil is that the
industry is de-controlled unlike India where the government intervenes to keep prices
at acceptable levels.
As part of the strategy to improvise its business model and increase profitability, SRS
also plans to increase the area under owned cultivation for sourcing cane and also
increase the flexibility for altering its product mix between sugar and ethanol. Thus,
SRS has strengthened its presence in the two largest sugar producing countries viz.
Brazil and India.

Potential for a sharp scale-up
in trading operations

Antique Stock Broking Limited

Furthermore, with increasing volumes coupled with improved product flexibility, SRS
can also capitalise on any price arbitrage between sugar and ethanol prices and
benefit from widening of raw-white sugar spreads. This can potentially also lead to a
sharp scale-up in trading operations.

Shree Renuka Sugars Ltd

Capex
On the domestic operations, the company is setting up a 3,000tpd port-based refinery
at Mundra at a cost of INR3.5bn. Expected to commission by 2QFY11e, the refinery
will operate on a re-export model in FY11e as India’s sugar production will match the
demand of ~23mmt.
At VDI, SRS plans to increase the flexibility for sugar production to 70% at both the
units at a total capex of ~USD85m (Real44m). This should increase the flexibility of
changing the product mix between sugar and ethanol depending on the product
prices. It also has plans to increase the cane crushing capacity at RBI from the present
10.5mmt to 12.5mmt and power capacity from 204MW to 295MW at a total capex
of ~USD129m (Real218m).

Domestic (INR/mt)
Raw (USD/mt, RHS)

Source: Cris Infac

On the domestic scenario, we expect prices to remain stable till March 2011 at
~INR27,000/mt in Karnataka and Maharashtra. Post March 2011, the trend will be
determined by the overall production, which we expect at ~24.5-25mmt. At these
levels of production and factoring for exports of 1.5mmt, the availability will match
the domestic consumption levels.
Globally, production has been impacted by adverse climatic conditions in countries
like Brazil, Russia, Pakistan and Thailand on account of adverse climatic conditions.
Production estimates in India have also been pegged at ~25mmt against the initial
estimates of ~26mmt on account of lower than expected increase in acerage. We
expect prices to stabilise at 25-30cents/lbs against the current price of ~33cents/lbs.

Valuation and outlook
At the CMP of INR97, the stock trades at a P/E and EV/EBIDTA of 10.1x and 5.2x
discounting its FY11e numbers, respectively.
We believe that the present business model of SRS should result in the company
benefiting from firm global sugar prices coupled with normalised profits from the
domestic operations. Additionally, a steady deleveraging of the balance sheet should
result in a gradual re-rating of the stock considering its scale of operations and
geographical diversification. We reiterate our BUY recommendation on the stock with
a target price of INR119.

Long-term business commitment from group companies
The Port and logistics business would be providing services to group
companies like Essar Steel, Essar Power for handling of bulk cargo and
Essar oil for crude import and export of finished products. The scale up in
operation of these group companies also provides strong visibility to
earnings.

At the current market price of INR105, there is a lucrative arbitrage opportunity
considering that the valuation of port business will align with its peers on
account of emerging as a focused entity. With our estimates of port valuation
at INR126/share and SOTP valuation of shipping, logistics and oilfield business
at INR47/share, we arrive at a target price of INR173. Hence, at current
levels, we reiterate our BUY recommendation.

We expect the port to increase average realisation from INR173/mt in FY10
to INR248/mt in FY14 on account of favorable product mix. This, along with
a 31% CAGR increase in volumes, has the potential to propel revenues from
INR4.1bn in FY10 to INR25.4bn in FY14e.

Essar Shipping, Ports and Logistics

Investment rationale
Restructuring plan to unlock value
ESPL had announced plans to separate its shipping, logistics and oilfields businesses
into a separate entity, i.e., Essar Shipping, while the existing entity will be renamed as
Essar Ports (the approval is expected by Feb 2011). As per the proposed demerger
scheme, investors will get two shares of Essar Port and one share of Essar Shipping.
Company's port operations have a capacity to handle 76mtpa currently, which is
planned to increase to 158mtpa by FY13e. A separate entity for port business will
enable it to follow an independent growth path creating better value for stakeholders.
The port business is also expected to get a re-rating in valuation in terms of higher
earnings multiples compared to pure shipping company as its valuations are aligned
with its global and domestic peers.

Essar Ports

Essar Port will hold all port and storage assets for liquid and bulk cargo through separate
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) dedicated to each terminal. The company has 46mtpa
liquid terminal and 30mtpa bulk terminal operations at Vadinar and Hazira, respectively.
ESPL has outlined aggressive plans to emerge as one of the largest private port operators
in India. The company is developing port capacity for liquid and bulk cargoes at four
locations spread on West and East coast of India at an outlay of INR85.2bn After
completion, liquid cargo handling capacity will increase from 46mtpa to 158mtpa and
dry bulk capacity will reach to 100mtpa in FY13e. The Port business is expected to
become number one in terms of cargo handling with a capacity of ~110mt by FY14e
(assuming 8% CAGR growth in major port cargo handling).

Demerged Entity: Shipping, Drilling and Logistics
Shipping, Drilling and Logistics will be demerged into separate listed entity Essar
Shipping. The new entity will have equity share of 210m compared to 610m currently.
Shipping
ESPL owns and operates a fleet of 26 vessels (2 tankers, 18 dry bulk, 6 support vessels)
with a total deadweight tonnage of 1.4m. These cater to captive demand of group and
are employed on long term contracts. ESPL does not have exposure to sport market as its
current fleet is on long term charter, thereby imparting strong visibility to earnings.
Essar Oilfield Services Limited (EOSL)
EOSL owns and operates 13 drilling rigs (1 semi-submersible, 12 onshore). Essar Wildcat,
a 3rd generation semi-submersible offshore rig, is deployed with Vietsovpetro JV. Two
new jack-up rigs on order for ~ USD480m with ABG shipyard are expected in FY12e.

ELL provides logistics, stevedoring and lighterage services and owns material handling,
lighterage and mobile equipments for efficient jetty operations and a fleet of dedicated
trailers and tankers to cater to the movement of steel and petroleum products. It provides
end-to-end logistics services - from ships to ports, lighterage services, intra-plant logistics
and dispatch of finished products. It also operates a fleet of 5,000 trucks (76 of which
are own) to provide inland transportation of steel and petroleum products.

Financials of demerger
The ongoing capex of USD1.16bn in ports for 109mtpa, USD440m in oil drilling and
acquisition of 12 dry bulk ships on lease basis would augment its asset base substantially
and propel its consolidated revenues and profits by a CAGR of 24.3% and 81% to
INR56.8bn and INR7.34bn, respectively, from FY10 to FY13e. Accordingly, we expect
a significant re-rating in valuations once the financial impact of the above capex
becomes discernible and ESPL capitalises on operating leverage. Please refer the
alongside charts for the details of dermerger.

Valuation and outlook
Demerger to provide arbitrage opportunity by re-rating port business
ESPL's asset rich integrated business model is well positioned to capitalize on the industrial
and trade growth in India with its diversified business in shipping, ports and logistics
as it would be grabbing an increasingly large share of the logistical spend of its
clientele. The contractual demand from group companies and third parties gives strong
revenue visibility to its earnings
As the company is in a huge capex phase which is maturing in a staggered manner,
we believe the DCF would be better method to value the company. The shipping
business is valued on earnings basis and not on Net Asset Value basis considering the
long term employment of vessels. As most of its projects are getting completed in FY12e
and FY13e, we have considered FY13e estimates for our valuation of Shipping and
Oilfield. However, for one year target price, we have discounted the estimated value
assuming cost of equity @14%. We expect significant rerating for port business after
expected demerger. The port business has been valued at INR125.2bn (EV) on account
better valuation for separate port business with reference to domestic peers and improved
visibility in earnings.
Our discounted cash flow valuation of port of INR77.7bn translates into INR126 per
share and sum of the parts (SOTP) valuation of shipping, logistics and oilfield business
of INR47 per share and gives a target price of INR173. Hence, at current levels, we
reiterate our BUY recommendation.

While new product launches and improved penetration into foreign markets
will serve as kickers for earnings, the successful monetisation of its two strong
brands are crucial to improved financial metrics. Given its ability to successfully
negotiate challenging situations, we are confident that HIL will accomplish
the same. We recommend a BUY on the stock with a target price of INR495.

With steady cash generation from Indian operations and operational
profitability achieved in Sylvania, we estimate cash flows to improve
substantially from FY11e onwards. Consequently, debt retirement over the
next few years should reflect in an improved EV on the consolidated level.

Havells India Limited

Investment rationale
Havells India Limited (HIL), incorporated in 1983, is promoted by Mr. Q.R. Gupta
and one of India’s premier electrical equipment companies. With a comprehensive
product profile that encompasses cables and wires, switchgears and electrical durables
like CFLs, fans, water geysers, switches, etc., it is one of the most preferred brands in
these product segments.
The company has an international presence through Sylvania, which it acquired in
Apr’07 for a consideration of Euro227m. The primary driver for the same was access
to markets like Europe, L. America and some parts of Asia, where Sylvania’s brand
was well established.

Operational overview

HIL: Trend of revenue composition
70,000

HIL is a dominant player in the domestic electrical durables and lighting and fixtures
segments. Over the years, it has regularly expanded its product profile, with hot water
geysers being the latest addition. Its contemporary product repertoire, coupled with a
strong focus on quality through in-house manufacturing (except lighting fixtures) have
stood the company in good stead. Simultaneously, HIL has consistently marketed its
products as ‘Value-for-Money’ propositions, backing the same with one of the most
extensive distribution networks in the industry. Consequently, HIL is amongst the ‘Top
Five’ consumer electricals brands in India. The same is evident from the growth in HIL’s
operating metrics, wherein revenues and operating profits have registered a CAGR of
17% and 29% over the past four years (FY07-10).

55,000

Sylvania

40,000

HIL’s Euro227m acquisition of Sylvania was effected with the intention to access markets
in Europe, Latin America and Asia with the help of the latter’s brands viz. Sylvania,
Concord:Marlin, Lumiance, SLI Lighting, Zenith and Linolite. However, things turned
sour when Sylvania started bleeding operationally during the economic downturn of
FY09. HIL infused Euro12m as equity and restructured operations by shutting down
some production lines in Europe, outsourcing products from China and India, right
sizing the workforce and renegotiating the terms of credit from suppliers. Consequently,
Sylvania posted an PAT of Euro1.3m (v/s loss of Euro10.2m) in 2QFY11.

Valuation and outlook
Expansion of product profile
and marketing efforts to
continue in India

Sylvania turnaround augurs
well for HIL

HIL’s Indian operations have always been on a firm footing, with the company clocking
consistent improvement in revenues over the past four years. Backed by an aggressive
advertising campaign and new product launches, HIL’s monthly revenues currently
hover between INR2-2.5bn. The increase in volumes and tight controls over costs have
ensured a steady increase in HIL’s OPM from 9% in FY07 to 12.6% in FY10.
Till recently, Sylvania’s operations and financials were proving to be a drag on overall
valuations for HIL. The efficacy of measures like higher focus on sales in emerging
markets in L. America, outsourcing of production and right-sizing of the workforce is
evident from last quarter’s results and we expect these to continue to contribute towards
an improvement in operating metrics going forward. Additionally, we feel that Sylvania’s
brands have yet to be monetised to the fullest and that the foray into L. America and
the Far East will help fetch richer realisations and margins.
Going forward, we expect the HIL’s consolidated revenues at INR60bn, with an EBIDTA
of 10.3% and PAT of INR3.1bn. The crucial factor is the generation of sustainable
cash flows with which HIL will retire Sylvania’s debt. In FY12, we expect the company
to maintain its growth trajectory, with revenues of INR66bn, OPM of 11.7% and PAT
of INR4bn.
At the CMP of INR393, HIL trading at a PER and EV/EBIDTA multiple of 12.3x and
6.5x respectively, discounting its FY12e numbers. We have valued the company using
the ‘Sum-of-Parts’ method and assigning EBIDTA multiples to HIL’s and Sylvania’s profits.

We are optimistic about the overall operations of HIL and believe that the gradual
reduction in Sylvania’s debt over the next few years coupled with the buoyancy in
Indian operations will trigger a re-rating in the stock. We recommend a BUY with a
price target of INR495, which reflects an upside of 26% from current levels.

COMPANY UPDATE

BGR Energy Systems Limited
Graduating

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Large EPC/BTG order tendering expected in the next few months
As the orders for XIIth plan EPC/BTG are underway, a large number of tenders
will be awarded over the next 1-2 years. NTPC bulk tenders I (11*660MW)
and II (9*800MW) are expected to be finalised over the next few quarters.
BGR has put up its bid for the boiler portion of NTPC bulk tender I for which
it would be one of the key contenders. We believe NTPC bulk tender II will be
floated in the next 2-3 quarters and expect finalisation of the EPC players for
the Suratgarh and Chhabra projects by the end of FY11, in which BGR is one
of the final bidders. Furthermore, a number of IPPs are expected to come up
with EPC or BTG orders in the near term.
BTG JV to add value in long term
BGR has entered into a JV (74%) for manufacturing boiler and turbine with
Hitachi (Europe) and Hitachi (Japan). The two JVs will have a capacity of
4,000MW of boilers and turbines. The capital expenditure is expected to be
~INR44bn in the next 2-3 years. We believe the equity requirement for the
same can be met by internal accrual and cash on books presently. As the
company is entering the BTG segment, we believe it will try to win a project
even at a lower margin.

While a large number of BTG orders (70-80%) of XIIth plan have already
been awarded, we believe the BOP orders for a large number of these units
are still awaited. BGR is one of the key players in the BoP space. In the last
few years, the company has been able to win BoPs from APGENCO,
MAHAGENCO and RRVUNL.

BGR systems has over the last few years evolved from a BoP to an EPC (with

the company has moved up the value chain and can now bid for generation
projects of various types. Our FY12e target stands at INR919 assigning a16x

Investment rationale
Large EPC/BTG order tendering expected in the next few months
A large number of EPC/BTG tenders will be awarded over the next 1-2 year for
commissioning of power plants in XIIth FYP. NTPC bulk tender I (11*660MW) and
II(9*800MW) is expected to be finalised over the next three-four quarters. BGR has
submitted bids for supply of NTPC bulk tender I boiler bids of 11*660 MW along
with BHEL and L&T-MHI consortium. We expect NTPC bulk tender I bids for boiler and
turbine to be finalised by the end of FY11. NTPC bulk tender II (9*800MW) will be
floated in the next 2-3 quarters. The company would be in the race to bid for boiler
and turbine for the NTPC bulk tender II.

We estimate 20-25GW of EPC/
BTG tenders to be floated in
the next one to two years

The company is among final bidders for the EPC contracts of the Suratgarh (1,320MW)
and Chhabra (1,320MW) projects being developed by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan
Nigam Limited (RRVUNL). These tenders are expected to be finalised by the end of
FY11 and estimated to be in the range of INR50bn each. Further, a number of IPPs
planned under XIIth FYP are yet to float the bids for EPC and BTG orders .We estimate
20-25 GW of EPC/BTG tenders to be floated in the next one to two years.

Antique Stock Broking Limited

BTG JV to add value in long term
BGR has entered into a JV with Hitachi Japan and Hitachi Europe to manufacture
subcritical/supercritical boiler and turbines of 600/800/1,000MW. The venture would
require a total project cost of about INR44bn to set up the facility. The overall capital
expenditure for setting up the facility of Boiler and Turbine in JV would be ~INR44bn.

BGR Energy Systems
BGR Energy has spent INR1.5bn till date in the JV mainly towards purchase of land.
The equity requirement for BGR is estimated to be INR9.5bn over the next 2-3 years
which the company expects to fund through internal accrual.
The huge opportunity in the BTG space, coupled with BGR JV qualifying for the NTPC
orders while concerns remain over the Chinese players; puts the JV on a strong footing
to garner the incremental orders. Further, the company has transformed itself from a
component manufacturer to BoP player to EPC player. The company has been hitherto
awarding BTG contracts to Chinese players for its EPC orders. Going forward, BGR
intends to source BTG from its manufacturing JV for its EPC orders.

Balance of Plant orders are expected to ramp up in the next few years. Order of BTG
packages for power plant coming up in XIIth FYP has gathered pace in the last few
quarters. The total expected addition in XIIth FYP for thermal power plant is expected
to be 75GW. Out of which, BTG orders of 60GW has been already placed till date.
BoP orders for these power plants will come up for bidding in next couple of years.
The dearth of quality BoP players has been one of the frequent complaints of power
plant developers. In fact, many a times the delay in commissioning of the power
plants has been attributed to failure of BoP players.

BGR with its strong execution track record of developing EPC/BoP of 1,450MW and
an experienced and reputed management is in an enviable position to benefit from
the increased order flow. The strong track record and focused management has resulted
in further inflow of order of 6,600MW. We expect BGR to be one of the frontrunner
for BoP/EPC contracts.
The current order book stands at INR105bn at the end of 2QFY11 and the order

Diversified product profile
MHRIL has a diversified product basket which is customised to various price
points and customer preferences. Its formidable marketing reach helps monetise
this product basket in the form of an increasing member base.
Bolstering of business practices
In order to homogenise its customer base, MHRIL has inititated several steps
like increasing the initial downpayment from 10% to 15% and withdrawing
the 60 month EMI scheme. These will help weed out potential delinquencies
and shorten the cash flow cycle.

Robust business model

Its business model is designed to generate significant cash flows, especially
in the first 12-24 months, giving it adequate head room to expand inventory,
boost marketing efforts or pay out dividend or deploy its float as a treasury
instrument, thereby generating additional income. Lastly, the low capital and
operational outlay for the asset also facilitates high asset sweating.

Despite a tepid performance in 1HFY11, MHRIL’s business model remains
intact and centred on optimisation of cash flows. Our confience in the company
stems from its scale of operations, float generation and comfortable valuations.

Investment rationale
Operational re-organisation

Operational restructuring initiated in
1QFY11

While the company has been clocking impressive growth in its membership base and
balancing out the same with an increase in inventory, it was experiencing a peculiar
problem of bunched up demand at specific times viz. holidays like Diwali, Christmas.
This was due to a combination of reasons like inventory blocked for newer members,
external sales to non-members and mismatch in subscription classifications. As a result,
existing members were unable to access inventory and thereby unable to utilise their
allocation of holidays. Consequently, the management started noticing a drop in
utilisation rates of older members.

With a view to rectify this situation, MHRIL has adopted the following measures:

Pains of operational overhaul
will reflect in FY11 numbers

Antique Stock Broking Limited

„

It has increased the initial down-payment on holiday packages from 10% to 15%
to weed out potential delinquencies. Additionally, it has withdrawn its 60 month
EMI scheme in order to shorten its cash flow.

„

It plans to strengthen its customer mapping in order to develop a homogenous
client base. In the process, it will be developing new product offerings for various
income groups, thereby preserving brand equity.

„

The release of an additional 150keys Tungi in FY11 will give the company the
elbow room to offer more room nights to its existing clientele.

„

Lastly, the company has completely stopped selling inventory to non-members,
freeing up rooms for existing members.

The company has been implementing these measures through 1HFY11 as a result of
which operating metrics have fallen considerably YoY. The slowdown in enrollments
has reflected in MHRIL’s financial performance over the past two quarters, as revenues
have fallen 14% to INR2.2bn while profits have plummeted 45% to INR315m.

118

Mahindra Holidays

Our view
With a member base in excess of 100,000, brand identity and maintenance of service
levels are of prime importance for the future sustainability of MHRIL’s operations, as is
product line segmentation. Any dilution of the brand would jeopardise future cash
flows, by way of low enrollments and utilisations in addition to higher delinquencies.

Tweaking of operations to
prove beneficial in the long
run

Hence, we believe that the rejig in operations in conjunction with a deliberate slow
down in enrollments is timely. The freeing up of existing inventory in favour of current
members should go a long way in beefing up service levels and improving brand
equity. Going forward, diversification of product profile in terms of targeting of various
income segments and the corresponding capex will be critical to cash flows.
Additionally, the control it exercises on its fixed costs and the ensuing effect on
profitability will also be pertinent to the float generating ability of the business.
On the macro level, the penetration of the VO concept in India is abysmally low and
a pickup in the same is imminent, given the brand equity MHRIL has earned over the
past decade. Lastly, customised offerings like ‘Fundays’, ‘Zest’ and ‘Terra’ have enabled
the company to satisfy diverse vacationing needs thus increasing the scope of
addressable markets.
Going foward, we remain confident about MHRIL’s business model and believe that its
financials would take a turn for the positive from 1QFY12. Moreover, the low penetration
of the VO concept in India and the tremendous brand equity earned so far with the
company We believe that the high incidence of fixed costs like sales promotion, marketing
and resort maintenance would generate operating leverage for the company in FY12, as
MHRIL monetises its brand and steps the gas on the pace of enrollments.

Valuation and outlook

Business fundamentals remain
intact

At the CMP of INR412, MHRIL is trading at a PER and EV/EBIDTA of 28.1x and
12.6x, discounting its FY12e numbers. MHRIL’s operations are similar to but do not
replicate that of a hotel’s. Hence, it is difficult to ascribe a peerset valuation to the
company. We have used the DCF method to arrive at the valuation of the company,
considering the cash generating capabilities of its business model. We have arrived
at a DCF based price of INR502 for the company and reiterate coverage with a BUY
recommendation.

COMPANY UPDATE

Phoenix Mills Limited

Real estate play on retail revival

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Stable revenues from rental model
Phoenix Mills Ltd. (Phoenix) is the pioneer of utilising textile mill land in Mumbai
for retail and entertainment purposes. In 1987, the company developed High
Street Phoenix, a first of its kind consumption centre, on its mill land. Phoenix
owns and operates retail-led mixed use projects and its focus on high quality
retail projects with rental income are the key differentiators.
Core value derived from High Street Phoenix
High Street Phoenix is strategically located at Lower Parel and has now become
South/Central Mumbai's leading retail and entertainment destination. This
key property comprises ~3.2m sq ft of development including retail and
entertainment, residential, commercial, parking space and a multiplex.
High visibility on execution of market city projects
Phoenix Mills is developing four market city projects at Kurla (Mumbai), Pune,
Bangalore and Chennai on the lines of High Street Phoenix. Construction is
in advanced stages and pre-leasing activities have been implemented for the
market cities. All four projects are expected to commence operations by end
FY12. Besides retail, Phoenix Mills is also diversifying into hotels. Its first hotel
project, Shangri-La at Lower Parel, is expected to open in the next six months.

Phoenix Mills Limited

Investment rationale
Flagship development - High Street Phoenix
High Street Phoenix is company's key property and is the main source of rental income
currently. In FY10, the property generated revenues of INR1.15bn, which is expected
to increase to nearly INR1.88bn and INR2.01bn by FY11e and FY12e, respectively.
This sharp increase has been primarily on account of higher rental contribution from
Palladium (0.3m sq ft of luxury retail space; ~95% leased and ~90-92% operational)
which commenced operations in September 2009.

Phoenix, one of the first to convert textile mill land into real estate
High Street Phoenix is a pioneering concept of retail-centric mixed use development in
India, which includes retail and entertainment space, residential area, commercial
and parking space, multiplex and a five-star deluxe hotel.
The total area of High Street Phoenix is ~3.2m sq ft spread over 17.3 acres. Development
of the project began in 1987. So far, three phases comprising ~3m sq ft have already
been completed and construction of the fourth phase of ~0.25m sq ft is still to commence.

To be constructed

High Street Phoenix has a weighted average rental of ~INR150/sq.
ft./mth (ex-Palladium)
With the opening of Palladium, weighted average rentals are ~INR157/sq. ft./mth.
Besides, leases of three of the anchor tenants (Big Bazaar, Pantaloon and Lifestyle) are
expected to be renewed from Dec 2010 to Sep 2011; this is expected to further
enhance average rentals. Moreover, once Phase IV of ~0.25m sq ft is completed,
rental income will increase further.

Distinctive market city model
Phoenix Mills plans to replicate the successful High Street Phoenix model across other
locations in the country. The company is currently developing four market city projects at
Kurla (Mumbai), Pune, Bangalore and Chennai. All projects are strategically located
and are in the vicinity of high catchment areas. Funding both debt and equity has been
tied-up for all four market cities and construction of these projects is in advanced stages.

Phoenix Mills Limited
Market City projects are designed to be large scale retail-led real estate developments
in city centre locations. The projects will have a mix of retail and entertainment space,
food & beverage outlets, multiplexes and office/residential space. Such a format is
expected to attract a wide spectrum of tenants and consumers.

In order to strengthen its market city projects, Phoenix Mills is diversifying into hotels. The
company is developing a ~420 key hotel to be operated by Shangri-La at High Street
Phoenix and has acquired 75% stake in Phoenix Hospitality which has equity interest in
hotel properties being developed in Kurla (Mumbai), Pune, Chennai and Agra.

Strong execution
With land in place, funding tied-up and construction and leasing activity in full swing,
there is high visibility on execution of market city projects. Pune, Bangalore, Chennai
and Kurla market cities are 75%, 70%, 60% and 55% leased respectively and all
projects are expected to become operational by end FY12.

Presence in smaller cities through EWDPL and Big Apple
EWDPL focuses on real estate development, primarily retail in Tier II and III cities
under the brand 'Treasure'. The company has a portfolio of ~13m sq ft (EWDPL's
share), of which ~0.8m sq ft comprising three retail projects at Indore and Nanded
are operational. Big Apple Real Estate develops malls under the brand 'Phoenix United'
in north India, particularly Uttar Pradesh. The company's first mall opened recently in
Lucknow while additional projects are planned in Lucknow, Agra and Bareilly.

Reiterate a BUY with a target
price of INR274

Valuation and outlook
We value Phoenix on an SoTP basis and arrive at a target price of INR274 based on the
following assumptions: 1) High Street Phoenix, Market City projects and Shangri-La
hotel are valued on a DCF basis with a terminal growth assumption of 5%. 2) 75% stake
in Phoenix Hospitality is taken at book value i.e., INR1.1bn representing the amount
invested. 3) In EWDPL and BARE, operational malls are valued based on capitalisation
of rentals, while other projects are valued at land cost. 4) WACC is 14.5%.
The following factors provide potential for upside to our target price: 1) Phoenix Mills is
moving to a rental model based on minimum guarantee/revenue share, whichever is
higher. Revenue share could result in higher effective rentals. 2) EWDPL is planning an
IPO which is expected to value the company higher than our estimates.

COMPANY UPDATE

Sterlite Technologies Limited
Spools of growth

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Operational scale and market leadership
Sterlite Technologies Ltd. (STL) is a market leader in the OF, OFC and Power
Conductors segments and is amongst the ‘Top Five’ global manufacturers in
both segments. It has built up strong manufacturing expertise in noth verticals
and is amongst the cheapest global manufacturers in both segments. Its
domestic market share is ~ 25%, with a sizeable portion of the National Grid
(~25%) set up using its conductors. In the OF and OFC segments, STL has
50% market share in India, 7% in China and 4% in CIS.
Comprehensive product profile
Currently, STL has one of the widest possible product ranges in power
conductors and OFC. Thus, it is not only able to compete with smaller players
in the commoditised categories, but also able to derive strong positioning
advantage at the top end of the product range, where it performs the important
function of import substitution.

Favourable macro headwinds
With power generation capacity of 40-50GW set to come on stream over
the next 3 years, infrastructure in the domestic transmission and distribution
sector is set to be beefed up. This is expected to spawn humongous demand
for power conductors. On the telecom side, international demand for OF
and OFC is arising on account of improving ‘Last-Mile’ connectivity and
higher bandwidth requirements while strengthening of existing networks is
the primary driver of domestic demand.

Investment rationale
Operational Recap
Telecom Products and Solutions

Power segment revenues (INRm)

Healthy capex by domestic telecom companies as well as robust exports to countries like
China translated into higher despatches and improved realisations as STL’s revenues in
this segment registered a healthy growth of 20% in 1HFY11 to INR3.3bn. However, EBIT
margins were slightly better at ~23% (vs ~22%) due to the rendering of broadband
integration services, which are high margin offerings.

10,000

Power Conductors

1HFY11 was wholly unremarkable for STL’s power segment. The absence of any tendering
by key domestic customers like PGCIL resulted in static despatches. Revenues stood at
INR6.7bn (+7%), with EBIT margins of 12% (vs 14%). The decline in margins was
largely on account of inventory carrying costs and execution of lower margins orders.

Future Outlook
Telecom Products and Solutions

Telecom segment revenues (INRm)
25,000

Domestic telcos are looking to maximise ARPUs by introducing bandwidth intensive
applications. At current levels, existing networks are incapable of handling the traffic,
with most telecom networks requiring drastic overhaul of their fiber backbones as
well as tower connectivity. Despite infrastructure sharing, new operators will have to
set up basic infrastructure; necessitating fresh demand for OFC.
The defence forces have outlined plans for 60,000kms of OFC, which should result
in crystallisation of 3m Fkms of orders.

20,000

BSNL is scheduled to tender for its ambitious rural connectivity program which should
result in 0.5m Fkm of demand in FY11. This demand is set to crystallise into firm
orders from 2HFY11.

While China currently accounts for the highest consumption of OFC, demand is also
picking up with countries like USA, Australia and U.K. lining up ambitious plans for
the overhaul of existing networks.
Power Conductors
The fructification of ~40-50GW of generating capacity over the next three years
has necessitated addition of 60,000Ckm of transmission network. Of this capacity,
~25,000Ckm is to be devoted to beefing up the inter-regional power transmission
network, since ~28GW of generating capacity is set to come on stream in eastern
India, while the largest load centres are in western and northern India.
Additionally, the existing infrastructure, which is largely 400KV AC and 500KV
HVDC, will not be able to support such heavy evacuation loads unless switched
over to Ultra High Voltage (UHV) networks of 765KV/1200KV AC or 800KV DC.
These will serve the dual purposes of not only reducing current levels of transmission
losses but also entail lower land and RoW (Right of Way) requirements.

Sterlite Technologies Ltd.
Towards this, PGCIL’s proposed expenditure outlay for the XIth plan is ~INR550bn.
The GoI’s game plan is to implement a national grid in the XIth plan and have an
interregional power evacuation capacity of over 37,500MW.

Capacity Expansions
Mindful of the tremendous opportunities in both sectors viz. power transmission and
telecom, STL has outlined the following plans:

Power transmission industry
set for dramatic overhaul

Expansion of its OF capacity from 12m km to ~ 20m km over the next two years at
an outlay of INR2.5bn. Additionally, STL intends to increase its OFC capacity from
3m Fkm to 5m Fkm in the next 12-18 months at a cost of INR400m. The entire
exercise is to be funded through internal accruals.
Capacity addition in its Power Transmission Business of 40,000MT at a cost of
INR800m.
The UMTP project secured by the company (2 X 462km, 400KVA, running through
3 states) is expected to entail an investment of INR10bn, which STL is expected to
fund in a DER of 4:1. We await more details on the same.

Valuation and outlook
Macro indicators provide
robust outlook for offtake

FY12 should mark a return to historical growth rates for STL as the impasse in the
tendering process at PGCIL gets resolved shortly. This should result in improved revenues
in the power vertical. Additionally, we expect the newly installed glass fiber capacity
to stabilise in 1HFY12. Higher output and improved utilisation rates across both
verticals should result in margins settling between 15-16%, with PAT at INR3.5bn.
At the CMP of INR70, STL is currently trading at PER and EV/EBIDTA multiples of 8.1x
and 5.1x, discounting its FY12e numbers. Mindful of its peerset valuations, ongoing
capacity expansion and lucrative opportunities at hand, we recommend a BUY on the
stock with a price target of INR97, which represents an upside of 39%.

COMPANY UPDATE

Escorts Limited

Favourable Tailwinds!

27 December, 2010

Investment rationale
Selling Investments - focusing on business!
Escorts has restructured its entire business by divesting its stake in all its loss
making businesses (telecom, healthcare, etc.) and using the proceeds to repay
the huge debt accumulated for the same. Subsequently, it has now enhanced
its focus on its core businesses (agri-machinery, railway equipment, auto
components and construction equipment). In our opinion this could not have
come at a better time as all its core businesses are at an inflection point with
favourable tailwinds and Escorts is well-positioned to benefit from the same.
Tractor business on strong footing
Escorts, with 13% market share in tractors, has successfully maintained its
number three position despite major consolidation in the tractor industry
(M&M~PTL, TAFE~Eicher). Now, as utilisation levels ramp-up from the current
61% to 70% in FY11e and 78% in FY12e, Escorts is expected to benefit from
operating leverage, which will enable it to show a sharp improvement in
profitability. The minimal capex will also ensure a sharp uptick in cash
generation and return ratios.
Other businesses - small contribution, huge potential!
While tractors will remain the mainstay for the company, the outlook for its
other businesses is positive. The underlying buoyancy in the infrastructure
segment provides huge scope for the construction equipment subsidiary (ECEL).
With its already well-established service and distribution network along with
a strong brand recall, Escorts is well-placed to benefit from the same.

Valuation and outlook
At the CMP of INR170, the stock trades at 9.8x and 7.2x our FY11e and
FY12e consolidated earnings estimates. In our view, the current valuations do
not capture the sharp turnaround and potential earnings growth (FY10-12e
EPS CAGR of 40%). We recommend a BUY with a target price of INR236 (10x
FY12e EPS), which provides an upside potential of 39% from the current levels.

Escorts Limited

Investment rationale
Selling investments - focusing on business!
The company has managed to clean up its balance sheet after previously diversifying
into too many businesses, most of which were totally diverse from its core agri-equipment
and engineering division. Some of these like hospitals and telecom were extremely
capital intensive, which put strain on the company's balance sheet and also diluted
the management's bandwidth (and financial resources) from the company's core
businesses.

Consolidated Debt (LHS)
Debt : Equity (RHS)

However, Escorts has now restructured its entire business by divesting its stake in all its
loss making investments. It hived off its telecom business (Escotel and Cellnext) for a
total consideration of INR2.2bn and hospitality business (Escorts Heart and Research
Institute) for a total consideration of INR5.85bn. It used proceeds to repay the huge
debt accumulated for the same. As a result, its consolidated debt has reduced from
INR15bn in FY03 to INR8.8bn in FY05 to INR4bn in FY10 (year ending September).
Consequently, leverage has reduced from 2x to 0.2x.
Subsequently, it has now enhanced its focus (managerial and financial) on its core
businesses, i.e., agri-machinery, railway equipment, auto components and construction
equipment. Now, without the drain of loss-making businesses and burden of the huge
debt, Escorts is well-positioned to capitalise on the growth potential offered by the core
businesses. This could not have come at a better time as all its core businesses are at an
inflection point with favourable tailwinds. With utilisation levels on an uptrend, it will
benefit from the operating leverage. Furthermore, with capacities in place, the capex
will be minimal, which will ensure a sharp uptick in cash generation and return ratios.

Tractor business on strong footing
The tractor industry witnessed a growth of 14% during FY03-10, led by increase in
disposable incomes on the back of rising MSPs and enhanced focus on increasing
farm credit. Farm mechanisation is on the rise attributable to a low availability of
labour and sharp increase in labour costs ~ a function of various policy measures
including the increase in allocation for NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee
Act), which has made rural labor scarce and expensive. NREGA gives every rural
household the right to a minimum 100 days of guaranteed employment with a minimum
wage of INR100/day paid within 15 days.
With buoyancy in construction activities, work has been aplenty and labour costs
have risen significantly. This has diverted rural labour (mainly unskilled) from agriculture
related activities to more rewarding and secure NREGA led construction/infrastructure
based activities. This is solely responsible for a high proportion of farm mechanisation,
which has led to the recent buoyancy in tractor demand.
Escorts is the third largest player in the tractor segment after M&M and TAFE, with a
current market share of 13%. It has successfully maintained its No. 3 position in the
largest (and probably the most competitive) tractor market, despite major consolidation
in the tractor industry (M&M~PTL, TAFE~Eicher) which is testimony to the strong brand
equity it enjoys amongst the farmers.

The company has a wide product range, but its forte is the more powerful higher hp
tractors. As a result, it is particularly strong in the 41-50hp range, which accounts for
51% of its volumes (as against 23% of industry volumes). The company is a market
leader in that segment along with M&M, with a market share of 29% each. To cement
its position in the 41-50hp range, it has launched a 45hp tractor with a four-cylinder
engine for the northern market as well as exports. In the longer term, it also plans to
launch a new product in the 15hp tractor range in future to compete with the Mahindra
Yuvraj, which targets smaller farmers to upgrade from bullocks. Penetration levels in
these smaller farms are extremely low (at 1 per 1,000 hectares).
Enhanced focus on relatively untapped avenues, i.e. the smaller-medium hp tractor range,
will help the company outperform the industry. Smaller tractors are apt for soft soil
conditions, as conducting agricultural operations on the same require lower-powered
tractors. Typically, northern states have relatively soft soil, and hence, the demand for
small tractors is higher in these regions, whereas in the southern and western regions, the
soil is relatively hard, and hence, the demand for medium and large tractors are higher.

Capacity utilisation (estimates based
on current run-rate)

With a strong ramp-up in volumes, led by aggressive product launches, coupled with
cost cutting initiatives and better working capital management, the company is in a
strong position to improve profitability as well. With annual capacity of 98,940 units,
the utilisation rates are still low at 60%, as against 84% for M&M, 105% for TAFE.
The lower utilisation levels has a visible effect on the margins of the company's tractor
division vis-à-vis that of Mahindra & Mahindra's.

Now, with utilisation levels on an uptrend, the company is expected to benefit from
the operating leverage, enabling it to show a sharp improvement in profitability. In
addition to leveraging of fixed costs, Escorts is undergoing a series of cost-cutting
initiatives like increasing employee productivity, replacing diesel with gas for fuel (as
per the management, this is estimated to reduce their power bill by ~10%) etc.

Other businesses - small contribution, big potential!
While the tractor business will be the mainstay for the company, its other businesses
are also on a favorable footing. The company's earth moving and construction
equipments division is under its 100% subsidiary - Escorts Construction Equipment
Limited (ECEL) which contributes 16% to the company's consolidated revenues and
10% to consolidated EBIT. The outlook for the construction equipment division is
extremely positive given the underlying buoyancy in the industry. We expect the
buoyancy in the sector to continue as infrastructure is still a high focus point for the
government considering its contribution to overall economic development. Investment
in infrastructure (as a % of GDP) is expected to increase from the 7-8% range currently
to almost 11% by FY17. With its already well-established service and distribution
network, coupled with its strong brand recall, there is a lot of scope for Escorts to
ramp-up its presence in the segment.
The company previously had a 40:60 JV with JCB through which it sold backhoe
loaders by the brand of "JCB Escorts". This JV ended in 2003 when JCB bought out
Escorts' 60% stake, post which Escorts had a non-compete clause with JCB till January
2008. Consequent to the expiry of this non-compete agreement, the company has
recently launched a backhoe loader under its own brand name. The backhoe segment
accounts for 26% of the total earth moving segment and is dominated by players like
JCB (70% market share) and L&T. With its already well established service and

distribution network, coupled with its strong brand recall, there is a lot of scope for
Escorts to ramp-up its presence in the same and the company is confident of garnering
~10% market share in this segment by FY11. It currently has capacity in place to
produce 8 backhoe loaders per day (on a three-shift basis).
This division currently has margins of only 3%, but has a lot of potential to scale up as
this business has strong operating leverage. We expect margins to veer towards 810%, over the next two years, once size and scale gets utilised properly and product
mix improves.

Valuation and outlook
At the CMP of INR170, the stock trades at 9.8x and 7.2x our FY11e and FY12e
consolidated earnings estimates. In our view, the current valuations do not capture the
sharp turnaround and potential earnings growth (FY10-FY12e EPS CAGR of 40%).
We recommend a BUY with a target price of INR236 (10x FY12e EPS), which provides
an upside potential of 39% from the current levels.

Tecpro has won three BoP orders in the last two years. The same is expected to
pick up further in the next 1-2 years as a number of BTG (Boiler-Turbine-Generator)
contracts have been awarded or are in the process. The total expected addition
in XIIth FYP (five year plan) for thermal power plant is ~75-85GW. While BTG
orders of 50GW have already been placed, we expect the rest 25-35GW to
be tendered over the next year (incl. NTPC bulk tender I and II).

Returns (%)

Leading player in Coal and Ash handling with high margins
Tecpro is one of the leading suppliers of coal and ash handling plants (CHP
and AHP). As per the CEA monitoring report, the company holds a market
share of ~19% (11 out of total 57 orders - 1st in the category) in CHPs, while
~15% (9 out of 59 orders - 3rd in the category) in AHPs.

Valuation and outlook
Tecpro is poised to capture the huge demand in the Indian power sector
through BoP segment in the coming years. We believe Tecpro is better placed
to capture the BoP orders compared to its competitors on account of its higher
market share in CHPs and AHPs. While the other three players (McNally,
TRF and Elecon) are trading at 10-11x on FY12e, larger players like BGR
Energy are trading at 14-16x. We have assigned a PE of 12x on FY12e EPS
(INR38) and arrived at our target price of INR458. The stock provides 22%
upside from the current levels.

Investment Rationale
Order inflows surge post IPO
Tecpro’s order book stood at INR23bn at the end of July 31, 2010 (disclosed order
book at the time of initial public offer). It has seen a further surge in orders post IPO
and new orders of INR33bn have been bagged in this fiscal till date. The current
order book of the company stands at INR46bn. Tecpro has moved from being a
material and ash handling player to a complete BoP package solution provider. The
recent wins of BoP orders from APGENCO for Rayalseema and Kakatiya of 600MW
has affirmed the capability of Tecpro to bid for BoP package of 600-800MW.
Further, these wins are significant considering the fact that Tecpro received its first BoP
order in Aug 09 from CGPCL (INR9.9bn for 500MW BoP). We consider this as a
positive development and expect it to garner new orders as majority of new power
plants are being set up in the size range of 600-800MW.

Higher order book to sales ratio
The order book to sales ratio of Tecpro stands at 2.7x at the end of 2QFY11. The
orders comprise primarily BoP, CHP and AHP. The execution cycle for these orders is
in the range of 18-30 months. Hence, the visibility of the revenue for the next two
years is very high. The size of the order book and order book to sales ratio are shown

Reaffirming credentials as a BoP player
Tecpro has successfully moved into BoP space with a contract worth INR9,930m by the
Chhattisgarh State Power Generation for a 1x500MW thermal power plant at Korba
West in Aug 2009 in consortium with Gammon India and VA Tech Wabag. Further, it
has won two orders for BoP from APGENCO for Rayalseema and Kakatiya Power Plant.

Number of BoP orders is expected to ramp up in the next few years. Order for the BTG
packages for power plant coming up in XIIth FYP has gathered pace in the last few
quarters. The total expected addition in XIIth FYP for thermal power plant is expected
to be 75GW. Out of which, BTG orders of 50-60GW has been already placed till
date. BoP orders for these power plants will come up for bidding in next couple of
years. We expect Tecpro systems to be one of the largest beneficiaries for these BoP
orders in terms of direct BoP orders or coal handling plant and ash handling plant
orders. Even at a conservative estimate of INR12-15m/MW, the annual market size
for the BoP would be in range of INR180-225bn.

Opportunities in other sectors
There are significant opportunities in steel, cement, port and sugar sectors for material
handling players. 21% of Tecpro’s order book as on July 31, 2010 comprises material
handling orders from sectors other than power. The order book has grown at a CAGR
of 20% from FY07 to FY10 while the revenue from other sectors has grown by ~42%
CAGR from INR969m to INR2,800m.
Tecpro is expected to garner a large portion of material handling orders. There are
only three to four direct competitors to Tecpro in CHP and AHP space. The investment
in power generation, steel and cement would be key driver for the new orders.
