Key Takeaways
Mumbai distribution business overhang addressed
 MERC has renewed a Reliance Infrastructure (RELI) license to supply power in
Mumbai for 25 years. Consequently, visibility over regulated PAT of INR3.5b a year
has increased.
 MERC has allowed cumulative recovery of INR23b. Under recovery on the books
was due to a tariff stay earlier, cross-subsidy surcharge borne due to migrating
customers (INR3.5b) and cost escalation/fuel cost pass throughs.
 RELI has invited long term bids of 1,000MW of power from April 2016 and has
initiated RFP. For medium term bids, the average cost is expected to be below
INR4.5/unit.
Infrastructure investment INR49b, six projects already operational, six
expected in FY12
 RELI invested INR49b in its infrastructure portfolio and commissioned six infrastructure
projects, comprising four roads, one metro and one transmission project.
 The management said its profits from infrastructure were likely to get a boost in
FY12 with the commissioning of six more projects.
 RELI adopted a strategy of incurring more upfront equity payment in infrastructure
projects to overcome the negative impact of an elevated interest rates scenario.
We understand ECB raised against metro, transmission projects (at 6-6.5%) will
help to lower interest costs.
 RELI sold 20% of its 12,000sq meter property in Delhi for an attractive price of
INR600/sqft/month.
Strong EPC order book of INR280b
 EPC division order book was INR280b (book-to-bill ratio of 8x), providing strong
visibility on EPC revenue over 3-4 years.
 The management guidance is for EBITDA margin of 8-10% for the division and
revenue growth is expected to be 60%+.
 Manpower in the EPC division is 1,600 and RELI has developed in-house competence
to execute power, roads and metros and is adding infrastructure projects such as
airports and ports.
Valuations and view
 We expect RELI to post net profit of INR12b in FY12 (up 11% YoY), and INR14.4b in
FY13 (up 20% YoY).
 At a CMP, the stock quotes at PER of 10x FY12E and 8x FY13E. Buy.
