Key Takeaways
Hopeful on policy reforms to reduce under-recoveries
 The management indicated that it has the back-end ready for the government's
recently announced policy to limit the number of domestic LPG cylinders per household.
 However, it ruled out dual pricing in diesel due to practical difficulties in
implementation.
Bhatinda refinery commercial production likely by end-2011
 The management indicated that its new 9mmtpa Bhatinda refinery (JV with Mittal
Energy Investments, HPCL stake at 50%) with Nelson Complexity of 12+ is mechanically
complete and expects commercial production to commence by December 2011.
 The final capex of the refinery stands at ~INR190b. HPCL expects refining margins
to higher by ~USD6/bbl over the regional benchmark Singapore margins.
New greenfield refinery planned in Maharashtra
 HPCL is planning to set up a 9-18mmtpa greenfield refinery in Ratnagiri district in
Maharashtra.
 While it has already received some land allocation, the management indicated that
it will require additional land for the project.
To expand Visakh refinery to 15mmta (currently 8.5mmtpa)
 As against the earlier trend of annual capex of ~INR350b per year, HPCL is planning
to spend ~INR400b-450b per year in the next two years.
 It also plans to expand the Visakh refinery capacity from the current ~8.5mmtpa to
15mmtpa, with a capex of INR80b by FY15/16 (currently, detailed feasibility report
is being prepared).

INR10.3b

September 2011; estimated cost: INR70b
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 attractive valuations of 9.6x FY12E EPS of INR39.3 and 1x FY12E
BV. Buy.
