Key Takeaways
ASBL EPC business revenue to grow 30-35%
 The Ashoka Buildcon (ASBL) management expects EPC revenue to grow 30-35% in
FY12, driven by a robust order book of INR43b. On the toll revenue front it expects
revenue of INR3.5b against INR1.9b in FY11.
 ASBL's YTDFY12 order book is INR43b, including 94% from the roads and 6% from
the power segments. In FY12 it aims at order intake of INR25b-30b.
Strong traction expected in FY12 toll business, opportunity looks promising
 On the bidding front, on a standalone basis ASBL qualified for projects worth about
INR20b as on 31 March 2011.
 Out of 24 projects, it is collecting toll on 18 and expects to start toll on two more
projects (Durg and Dhankuni) in FY12.
 NHAI plans to award 7,300km of roads over FY11-12, which will offer significant
growth opportunities to established players like ASBL.
 A portfolio of 18 operational projects covering ~3,000 lane kms with average traffic
growth of 5-7% will ensure steady revenue growth.
 The management said that in most cases, traffic growth was in line with its
expectations, except for the Bhandara project, where traffic was 10-12% less than
estimated.
Progress on projects under construction
 Construction work on the Durg and Jaora-Nayagaon projects has been substantially
completed. Toll collection is expected to start for the Durg project in 3QFY12. For
the Jaora-Nayagaon project, toll collection has begun on two of three sections. Toll
collection on the third section will start in 3QFY12.
 Other projects under construction are Sambalpur-Baragarh and Belgaum-Dharwad.
ASBL has started mobilization on the Sambalpur-Baragarh project, and construction
activity has begun on the Belgaum-Dharwad road.
Equity requirement of INR9b over the next 2-3 years
 The management said it would meet the fund requirement of INR9b through internal
accruals and from the toll projects.
Valuation and view
 The stock trades at a PER of 11x and 9x on FY12E and FY13E basis (Bloomberg
