expense impact. RBS est was Rs.200mn.

The main increase in profitability came from lower fixed cost at Barge mounted power plant.

Management call highlights: Airports- Impressive cost cutting measures
􀀟 Management said that the sharp reduction in expesnes at Delhi and Hydarabad airports was
due to ongoing cost cutting programs and it expects it to be sustainable. The decrease in
expenditure was sharper than expected and thus indicates a sharper turnaround than our
expectations.
􀀟 The Airport development fee (ADF) collection is expected to start by next month start while
company is expecting to get the additional ADF within next 2-3months.
􀀟 Management plans bridge loan (Rs.5.5bn @10-11% interest rate) at Delhi airport to repay
once it gets additional ADF, which would result in substantial interest savings.
􀀟 Management expects tarrif increase discussion at Delhi airport to be over by December,2011.
􀀟 Management expects turkey airport to acheive break even in next 4-6 quarters.
􀀟 The additional duty at Male will be around US$25/ departing international passenger to be
started from January,2012 is expected to increase revenue by US$1mn, according to
management.
Management call highlights: Power- Gas availability is not a concern
􀀟 The current PLF at Vemagiri is around at 1Q rate of 88% and at Barge mounted plant is at
74% (higher than 66% in 1Q). Management said that it expects gas availability to remain at
the current levels for rest of the year and thus should be able to maintain the PLF also.
􀀟 Management said that government had assured it that gas availability would be worked out
for upcoming 768mw Rajahmundry power project by the time it would be ready in 4QFY12.
􀀟 For Singapore power plant, the financial closure has been acheived and the management
expects it to be commissioned by FY14 with 25% merchant power sale.

Management call highlights: Roads- Expects good toll tariff increase
􀀟 The company is expecting a toll rate increase in the range of 12-14% for its toll projects
starting from next month. The high increase is due to higher inflationary environment.
􀀟 The company is yet to receive LOA for Ahemdabad- Kishangarh Road project (36years:
concession period). However, it said that IRR for the project is expected to be higher than its
threshold limit of 18% for toll projects.
Faster than expected turnaround on cards; we maintain Buy
􀀟 The 1QFY12 net loss was well below our expectations and indicates a faster than expected
turnaround at its airport assets on the back of cost cutting programs. Management also
highlighted that it intended to repay the bridge loan of Rs.5.5bn through additional ADF (once
received), further decreasing the interest costs. With three big power projects coming on line
in next 4-5 quarters, we maintain Buy.
