Price objective basis & risk
Reliance Infrastructure (RCTDF)
Our PO of Rs1081 is based on SOTP valuation. The parent business is valued at
Rs271/share based on DCF. We value the stake of 29-51pct in power projects of
Reliance Power at Rs475/share at 15% discount to DCF valuation, while we value the
stake of 49pct in Power distribution business at Rs72/share. Its 74-100pct stake in
Power Transmission business is valued at Rs22/share at 1.2x book value and stakes
of 69pct in the Mumbai Metro project, 95pct in Delhi Metro Airport Express line and
100pct in road projects are valued based on DCF at Rs145/share. A stake of 66pct in
real estate business is valued at Rs25/share on DCF basis. Other investments are
valued at Rs75/per share on book value. Based on this, we arrive at an SOTP value
of Rs1086/share. Our PO translates into 1.6x FY12E P/BV (Parent), which is below
the utility sector leaders such as NTPC 2x.
Risks to our PO are: ability to source quality power, viable gas supply,
discontinuity/delay of power  sector reforms, delay in project execution, nonavailability of fuel, currency and freight risks, potential  matching of demandsupply of power in India leading fall in power rates.
