Key Takeaways
Asset quality takes center stage
 Health of state utilities (~82% of the outstanding loan book) is an area of concern.
RECL now refrains from funding loss making SEBs such as TNEB and MPEB by
declining short-term loan proposals to state utilities.
 The management is optimistic regarding policy action on this front, given the proposed
reforms announced by the Ministry of Power recently.
 The management does not expect a spike in NPAs, though there is a possibility in
some accounts of delay in payments.
 No restructuring proposal has been received yet, but RECL does not expect loss of
interest in case accounts get restructured.
Disbursement growth likely to remain healthy
 The outstanding sanctions pipeline was INR1.75t. Consequently the management
expects disbursements growth to be 20% YoY.
 However, RECL has turned cautious over funding gaps for state utilities through
short-term loan, which would have otherwise boosted company's growth.
Borrowing plan for FY12
 Of the total INR280b-300b planned to be raised in FY12, RECL raised INR80b in
1QFY12. Of the balance, the company plans to raise
 USD750m in 2QFY12, for which regulatory approvals are in place;
 USD750m (second tranche) by March 2012, for which RECL will take RBI's
approval;
 USD1b through FCCBs subject to RBI and Ministry of Finance approval.
 Cost of foreign currency borrowing (on a fully hedged basis) is likely to be lower
by at least 200bp compared with the domestic cost of borrowing.
RECL to sustain margins at ~4.4%
 Higher foreign currency borrowing at a lower rate augur well from margin perspective.
 In 1QFY12 margins were steady at ~4.3%. The management guidance is to maintain
margins at ~4.4%.
Valuation and view
 With a strong sanctions pipeline (INR1.75t), we expect loan growth to be healthy at
22% CAGR over FY11-13. However, in the current macro-economic environment
asset quality is a bigger concern against fears of slow growth.
 The stock trades at P/E of 5x FY13E EPS and 1x FY13E BV. Maintain Buy.
