Key Takeaways
New government initiatives to reduce subsidy in medium term
 The management expects the recently announced government initiatives on PDS
kerosene and domestic LPG to help reduced subsidy over the medium term.
 The LPG initiative will be implemented in two phases; phase-1 (internal systems are
ready) will limit the number of cylinders per household while phase-2 (post UID
scheme implementation) will involve selling LPG cylinders at market price and
transferring subsidy in cash directly to the eligible LPG customers' bank accounts.
E&P reserves to be published by end-2013
 The reserve estimates for BPCL's successful E&P discoveries in Brazil (2) and
Mozambique (4) are likely to be announced by end-2013, post appraisal by thirdparty
consultants.
 BPCL plans to spend INR100b (USD250m each in FY12/13, INR24b spent till date) on
E&P (BPCL share) over the next five years and expects production to commence in
2017/18, first in Mozambique.
 Gas production at Mozambique is likely to be evacuated through LNG route.
To spend INR400b in next five years v/s INR250b in last five
 As against INR250b spent in the last five-year plan, BPCL expects to spend ~INR400b
in the next five-year plan, driven by refinery expansion and E&P spends.
 Capex includes planned capacity expansion of Kochi refinery from 9.5mmtpa to
15mmtpa and petrochem complex with an investment of INR60b. Kochi refinery
complexity will increase from the current 5 to 9.
Bina refinery utilization rate to reach 80% by 4QFY12
 Most of the processing and support facilities like SPM, crude oil terminal, and 935km
crude pipeline have already been commissioned.
 Despite some power plant related delays, the management expects utilization to
reach 80% in 4QFY12 at its new 6mmpta, INR122b Bina refinery (JV with Bharat
Oman, BPCL stake 49%).
 Once the Bina refinery stabilizes and operates for a full year, the management plans
to further increase capacity from 6mmtpa to 8.5mmtpa by FY15/16.
Valuation and view
 In the event of subsidy rationalization and decontrol of retail fuel prices, marketing
profits would improve and the stock could see a re-rating.
 The stock trades at 13.1x FY12E EPS of INR52.6 and 1.4x FY12E BV. E&P business
could provide upside potential. Buy.
