Equipment ordering for the 11th Plan completed; focus turns to execution We examine the status of current projects; firms with operating experience and financial stability emerge as winners Reiterate OW(V) on CESC and Tata Power, N(V) on Lanco; downgrade NTPC to UW(V) from N(V)
Focus to shift on execution. Equipment ordering is now complete for the 11th Plan, achieving a critical milestone in project execution. Now, the focus will shift towards project developers in terms of project completion. We have looked at the status of projects under construction for stocks we cover. We prefer developers with operating experience, financial stability and projects that have achieved financial closure. CESC: OW(V), TP = INR345. We like CESC primarily because of its gradual capacity addition plan, which prevents it from spreading itself too thin. We ascribe no value to the real estate and retail businesses and retain our estimates, target price, and rating. Tata Power: OW(V), TP = INR1,000. Its 5.6GW of capacity addition is supported by fuel sourcing and funding strategy. We reduce our FY10e profit estimates by 21% to incorporate lower coal realisation; we lower our target price to INR1,000. Lanco Infratech: N(V), TP = INR132. 3.9GW of power projects are in advanced stages of execution, with 600MW to be operational by FY10e. However, real estate and infrastructure development continue to drag. We reduce our FY10e estimates by 18% and lower the target price to INR132. NTPC: UW(V), TP = INR142. NTPC enjoys the best positioning in terms of access to funds and fuels, but the market is ignoring delays in project execution (HSBC estimates 11.9GW vs companys guidance of 22GW). Maintain our estimates and target, but downgade to UW(V).

Central utilities to dominate capacity addition
We remain positive in terms of capacity addition by central utilities. We expect central utilities to dominate capacity addition with c21.7GW (45% of total capacity). Central utilities like NTPC and Damodar Valley Corporation should be frontrunners in terms of this capacity addition.

BHELs success in term of maintaining its leadership position has put to rest concerns of global competition. In the recent past, BHEL has been able to gain some of its lost ground in private-sector utilities. It has been able to secure equipment orders from developers like Jindal Power (2,400MW, INR50bn) and Jaiprakash Power (500MW, INR11.75bn).

We do not think there is concern regarding funding at NTPC, which has cINR170bn in cash on its balance sheet and a cINR150bn line of credit. Its debt-to-equity ratio of c0.5:1 provides scope for future domestic bond issuances, or even raising ECBs after a few months, once the global credit scenario improves.

Despite all these efforts, we expect NTPCs capacity addition to fall short of the plan. We expect NTPCs capacity addition to lag behind its

plan and expect it to add c11.9GW of new capacity between FY08 and FY13e. We have extended the project execution timeline for c10 GW projects and expect these to be operational during the 12th Plan. We believe there is a significant risk in terms of NTPC achieving its capacity target, given the fact that 63% of expected capacity is scheduled for commissioning in FY11-12.
Funding tie-up
Tata Power has completed financing for two of its largest power plants under construction i.e., the 1050MW Maithon project, for which the debt component of cINR30bn is being funded by a consortium led by the State Bank of India. For its Mundra project, the company has tied up to raise USD1.8bn in foreign exchange loans and USD1.4bn in INR loans with several multilateral and domestic financial institutions. With these two big projects, most of the groups funding for plants under construction has been tied up. Funding for remaining smaller projects, such as captive projects at Jojbera and Jamshedpur, is at advanced stages of reaching financial closure. Of the total funding requirement of INR240bn during the next four years, Tata Power proposes to raise the amount through its own contribution and debt (INR180bn), a large portion of which is already tied up (INR60bn).

However, we expect the projects in the pipeline to be delayed, given the equity fund constraints. Hence, we believe this will put projects under pipeline at risk. Hence, there can be uncertainty around 5.7GW of power capacity addition plan. The NPV of these five projects (Dehrand, Naraj IPP, Naraj CPP, Tubed IPP, Jharkhand CPP) based on Tata Powers ownership is cINR15.6bn, translating into INR71 per share. We assign no value to these projects, as against 50% earlier.

c1.85GW capacity by FY12-13e and an additional 2.3GW by FY14-15e, thus increasing its existing capacity by 5x. It has already secured fuel for the new 1.8GW power generation capacity and has achieved financial closure for 50% of the new projects, thus providing good visibility and reducing execution risk. However, we have not factored into our valuation the 2.3GW of capacity to come by FY14-15e, as not much action has been taken yet. The status of the 1.85GW capacity under development is as follows: 250MW Budge Budge expansion under construction; to be operational by FY10 600MW Haldia phase I: Land acquisition in progress. Received coal linkage from Mahanadi coal mine, looking at awarding the equipment contract; project cost cINR26bn 1000MW Dumka, Jharkhand to be a merchant power plant. Received coal linkage from Mahugadi coal block; land acquisition in progress We have extended project execution timelines for CESCs Haldia and Dumka projects. We expect Haldia to be commissioned in FY13. We have not considered Dumka for valuation purposes.
Lanco Infratech
Lanco has undertaken an aggressive capacity addition plan. It has a pipeline of c4GW of capacity under construction and another c4GW in the pipeline. Financial closure has been achieved for projects under construction, and execution activity started. It has incurred INR50bn capex on these projects so far, including INR22bn equity contribution. We expect 600MW of Amarkantak I and II thermal power plants to be operational by 1HFY10. In terms of other capacity, 1015MW Nagarjuna Power project and Anpara C are major contributors and we expect them to be operational by April 2012 and January 2012 respectively. Hence, we believe the risk to these capacity additions is not significant. However, we expect delay in capacity addition of 3.9GW projects in the pipeline (2.64GW Babandh and 1.3GW Amarkantak). We expect them to be extended beyond FY12e and hence have not factored in these in our estimates.

The Budge Budge plant, with a PLF of 100.4%, had the second highest thermal power plant PLF in India during FY08. It has also received INR115m of carbon credit this year, for the last four years performance. The steady performance of all the generation units helped the company achieve a combined PLF of 93.4% for FY08, which was better than the national average of 78.6% and the private-sector average of 90.8%. In the T&D division, it has considerably reduced losses through reduction of pilferage and better collection efficiency.

Funding will be an issue for these projects (2.8GW) which are at an initial stage of development e.g., Dhenkanal and others. We havent considered any of these projects into our valuation, given uncertainty attached to these projects.

CESC has already tied up the fuel requirement for these projects. It has achieved financial closure for the 250MW Budge Budge expansion and is looking at financial closure for its projects at Haldia (West Bengal) and Dumka (Jharkhand). We expect financial closure for Haldia soon because (a) land acquisition is at an advanced stage, (b) fuel supply has been assured, and (c) Haldia is based on a regulated model, thus ensuring its ROE. We expect CESC to fund the equity contribution (cINR21.2bn) through (a) INR10bn cash and cash equivalents, including INR5.8bn in qualified institutional placement (QIP) money, and (b) internal accrual of INR10bn.

Valuation
We maintain our CESC estimates and our 12month target price to INR345, an average of the following three methods.
Under our research model, for stocks with a volatility indicator, the Neutral band is 10 percentage points above and below the hurdle rate for Indian stocks of 11%. For CESC, this translates into a Neutral band of 1-21% around the current share price. Our target price of INR345 for CESC shares implies a total return (including dividend yield) of 44.7%, which is above the Neutral band; thus, we have an Overweight (V) rating on CESC stock.
Risks
Downside risks, we believe, include deeper-thanexpected losses in the retail business and cost overruns from delayed execution.

debt of cINR11bn. The equity contribution of INR61bn, including INR35bn of equity investment for projects in its pipeline, is an issue. However, we do not expect any significant issue in terms of equity investment of INR26.4bn for projects under execution. Internal accruals over the next five years should address the shortfall. We have not factored in any capacity addition from project under development (Babanth and Amarkantak III and IV).

Valuation
Based on this, we have reduced our FY09e profit estimates by 6%, driven by 3% decline in revenue and lower EPC margin. We have also extended execution time frame for EPC business, given the delays in power projects.
We have value the real estate separately and used a discount rate of 15%. We have assumed the entire Hyderabad real estate to be developed in the next eight years. Based on this, we derive an NAV of INR10.3bn. However, we have also removed the value of real estate (INR37 per share earlier) from our valuation, given the current slowdown in the real estate sector. We expect that any upturn in the real estate business to provide an upside to the stock.

Lanco has one of the highest engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) margins among Indian peers, despite undertaking in-house projects. These margins are higher than peers including Larsen & Toubro, Punj Lloyd or other EPC players. Also, the order backlog includes the project equipment for which it can generate only a trading margin. However, as Lanco shifts towards merchant power business, where project cost is likely to be a deciding factor, margin could come under pressure. Rising commodity prices could affect margin.
Spreading itself too thin
Under our research model, for stocks with a volatility indicator, the Neutral band is 10 percentage points above and below the hurdle rate for Indian stocks of 11%. For Lanco, this translates into a Neutral band of 1-21% around the current share price. Our target price of INR132 for Lanco shares implies a total return of 19.1%, which is within the Neutral band; thus, we have a Neutral (V) rating on Lanco.
The company aims to excel in a wide spectrum of businesses electricity (hydro), ports, real estate, and infrastructure in a short span of time, entailing significant regulatory, financial and project execution risks. These projects typically involve long gestation periods and are fairly capital- and labour-intensive. The inability of management to closely monitor the progress of each of these businesses could result significant delays. Alternatively, any adverse development in one of the projects could take up significant management bandwidth, resulting in lack of attention to other businesses.
Real estate downturn
Risks
Funding constraints, rising interest rate risk
We believe the real estate slowdown may affect Lancos internal generation capabilities. Of the 4m sq ft of the residential area sold, c1m sq ft has been cancelled. Also, we believe there could be delays in non-SEZ development and that the development of Chennai may be put on hold.
Delay in project execution
Lanco has undertaken aggressive expansion plan with projects worth INR161.2bn under construction and another INR175bn under development. Apart from these power projects, it has been looking at real estate development as well as the infrastructure development. Any delay in terms of achieving funding for the project will affect the companys project execution capability.
Like in case of most power developers, one of the key risks relates to project execution, which depends on various regulatory, environment, and commercial clearances. Delays in obtaining clearances or any accident at the construction site may postpone execution. If cost overruns are not allowed by regulators, revenue as well as profitability is affected.

In addition to the seven mines, NTPC has entered into a JV with Coal India for the development and operation of two coal mines with reserves of 2.2bn tonnes. NTPC plans to commence coal production of c2.34mtpa by FY10e (vs. earlier target of FY08e) and increase it to c14mtpa by FY12. According to our analysis, this should enable NTPC to secure c9.4% of its total coal requirement in FY12 and c15% by FY17.

Valuation
We take cognisance of the fact that NTPC will continue to trade at a premium to its peers. However, we believe its current valuation considers the best case scenario in term of capacity addition. Based on our replacement cost analysis, the current market capitalisation of cUSD30bn indicates an installed base of 33GW by 2010 as against installed base of c27GW in FY08.

We have used the average of three different approaches to value NTPC shares and, based on this, derive a target share price of INR142.
22
abc
Under our research model, for stocks with a volatility indicator, the Neutral band is 10 percentage points above and below the hurdle rate for Indian stocks of 11%. For NTPC, this translates into a Neutral band of 1-21% around the current share price. Our target price of INR142 for NTPC shares implies a total return (including dividend yield) of -14.6%, which is below the Neutral band; thus, we have an Underweight (V) rating on the NTPC stock.
Risks
Business risks includes fuel supply concerns, delays in project execution, and an impact from higher costs on merchant power. Also, regulatory risks include a reduction in RoE due to higher efficiency norms to be set by the regulator. Upside risks to our rating include faster execution, higher efficiency norms, and the ability to raise funds at lower cost and to address the fuel issue.
Price to book
We have valued NTPC using a multiple of 1.8x FY10e book value. Based on this, we derive a fair value of INR138 per share.

Within alternative energy sources, Tata Power plans to expand its wind capacity from 78MW now to 200MW over the next year. It has plans to further explore opportunities in the wind energy space, which we believe will help the company to manage its obligation under the renewable energy target imposed on distributors in Maharashtra. We believe Tata Powers ability to create a welldiversified power plant portfolio, i.e., selling in both the regulated and the free markets will enable it to mitigate fuel and offtake risks.
allocation or through fuel offtake agreement for coal supply from Indonesia. For example, it has been allocated two coal mines for its projects. It received allocation of the 189mt coal block in Jharkhand in JV with Hindalco and the 290mt Mandakini coal block in Orissa along with Jindal Photo and Monnet Ispat. It has picked up a 30% stake in KPC and Arutmin from PT Bumi Resources in Indonesia, which allows it to draw 10mt of coal supplies over the long term, which is capable of fuelling almost the entire Mundra plant. For Maithon projects, Tata Power has tied up fuel from Bharat Coking Coal mines, which reflects its ability to obtain fuel linkages for large projects.

1050MW Maithon project, for which the debt component of cINR30bn is being funded by a consortium led by State Bank of India. For its Mundra project, the company has tied up to raise USD1.8bn in foreign exchange loans and USD1.4bn in INR loans with several multilateral and domestic financial institutions. With these two big projects, most of the groups funding for plants under construction has been tied up. Funding for remaining smaller projects, such as captive projects at Jojobera and Jamshedpur, are at advanced stages of reaching financial closure. Tata Power proposes to raise the total funding requirement of INR240bn during the next four years through its own contribution (INR60bn) and through debt (INR180bn), a large portion of which is already tied up.

We value Tata Power using the methods below and derive a target price of INR1,000.
Change in forecasts
We have reduced our contribution from the coal mine business, given the declining coal prices. We expect average realisation of coal to fall to cUSD48 per tonne, a decrease of 30% from the previous year in contrast to our earlier estimate of 10% decline. Also we have decreased the coal production forecast now to 4% annual increase from earlier estimates of 7% for FY09 and 5% thereafter. Also in our estimates, we now provide for 20% provision for taxation from earlier estimates of 12.4%.

Under our research model, for stocks with a volatility indicator, the Neutral band is 10 percentage points above and below the hurdle rate for Indian stocks of 11%. For Tata Power, this translates into a Neutral band of 1-21% around the current share price. Our target price of INR1,000 for Tata Power shares implies a total return (including dividend yield) of 40.7%, which is above the Neutral band; thus, we have an Overweight (V) rating on the Tata Power stock.
Risks
Business risks include equity funding for the 5.6GW under pipeline, delays in project execution, interest rate risk, and regulatory risk.

To mitigate the delays due to equipment shortage, developers have already placed equipment orders on vendors, providing sufficient time for project execution this time around. With equipment now ordered, we expect focus to shift towards execution, over the next three years.

However, we still expect delays to hamper the capacity addition plan and expect c48GW of capacity addition over 2007-12e.

We expect the major reasons for slippage in capacity addition will be delays from equipment vendors, failure to receive regulatory clearances for hydro projects, and the fact that most capacity addition is back-ended (36% capacity to be commissioned in FY12, as per recent CEA publications).

Stock ratings and basis for financial analysis
HSBC believes that investors utilise various disciplines and investment horizons when making investment decisions, which depend largely on individual circumstances such as the investors existing holdings, risk tolerance and other considerations. Given these differences, HSBC has two principal aims in its equity research: (1) to identify long-term investment opportunities based on particular themes or ideas that may affect the future earnings or cash flows of companies on a 12 month time horizon; and (2) from time to time to identify short-term investment opportunities that are derived from fundamental, quantitative, technical or event-driven techniques on a 0-3 month time horizon and which may differ from our long-term investment rating. HSBC has assigned ratings for its long-term investment opportunities as described below. This report addresses only the long-term investment opportunities of the companies referred to in the report. As and when HSBC publishes a short-term trading idea the stocks to which these relate are identified on the website at www.hsbcnet.com/research. Details of these short-term investment opportunities can be found under the Reports section of this website. HSBC believes an investors decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances such as the investors existing holdings and other considerations. Different securities firms use a variety of ratings terms as well as different rating systems to describe their recommendations. Investors should carefully read the definitions of the ratings used in each research report. In addition, because research reports contain more complete information concerning the analysts views, investors should carefully read the entire research report and should not infer its contents from the rating. In any case, ratings should not be used or relied on in isolation as investment advice.
HSBC assigns ratings to its stocks in this sector on the following basis: For each stock we set a required rate of return calculated from the risk free rate for that stocks domestic, or as appropriate, regional market and the relevant equity risk premium established by our strategy team. The price target for a stock represents the value the analyst expects the stock to reach over our performance horizon. The performance horizon is 12 months. For a stock to be classified as Overweight, the implied return must exceed the required return by at least 5 percentage points over the next 12 months (or 10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). For a stock to be classified as Underweight, the stock must be expected to underperform its required return by at least 5 percentage points over the next 12 months (or 10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). Stocks between these bands are classified as Neutral. Our ratings are re-calibrated against these bands at the time of any material change (initiation of coverage, change of volatility status or change in price target). Notwithstanding this, and although ratings are subject to ongoing management review, expected returns will be permitted to move outside the bands as a result of normal share price fluctuations without necessarily triggering a rating change. *A stock will be classified as volatile if its historical volatility has exceeded 40%, if the stock has been listed for less than 12 months (unless it is in an industry or sector where volatility is low) or if the analyst expects significant volatility. However,
32
abc
stocks which we do not consider volatile may in fact also behave in such a way. Historical volatility is defined as the past months average of the daily 365-day moving average volatilities. In order to avoid misleadingly frequent changes in rating, however, volatility has to move 2.5 percentage points past the 40% benchmark in either direction for a stocks status to change. Prior to this, from 7 June 2005 HSBC applied a ratings structure which ranked the stocks according to their notional target price vs current market price and then categorised (approximately) the top 40% as Overweight, the next 40% as Neutral and the last 20% as Underweight. The performance horizon is 2 years. The notional target price was defined as the mid-point of the analysts valuation for a stock. From 15 November 2004 to 7 June 2005, HSBC carried no ratings and concentrated on long-term thematic reports which identified themes and trends in industries, but did not make a conclusion as to the investment action that potential investors should take. Prior to 15 November 2004, HSBCs ratings system was based upon a two-stage recommendation structure: a combination of the analysts view on the stock relative to its sector and the sector call relative to the market, together giving a view on the stock relative to the market. The sector call was the responsibility of the strategy team, set in co-operation with the analysts. For other companies, HSBC showed a recommendation relative to the market. The performance horizon was 6-12 months. The target price was the level the stock should have traded at if the market accepted the analysts view of the stock.
