The Story
Over the last six years, the power transmission towers sector has been delivering pretty good returns and strong growth, driven primarily by inter-regional capacity additions, distribution reforms, rural electrification and a robust growth in power generation. The Government of Indias (GoI) Eleventh Plan has envisaged a We believe that companies capital expenditure of over Rs.6,665 bn for the countrys power possessing financial strength and project execution skills sector in order to ensure Power for All. The GoIs Common will enjoy an edge over their Minimum Program is focusing on achieving 100% village competitors and will be better electrification by the year 2009 and 100% household positioned to capitalize on the electrification by 2012. It plans to add 78,700 MW of power opportunities arising in the generation capacity in the XIth Five Year Plan, which, coupled power transmission sector with, its decision to set up transmission lines with generation capacity for effective power evacuation, has opened ample business opportunities for transmission lines companies. The planning commission has allocated a budget of Rs.3,773 bn towards power generation, Rs.1,404 bn for power transmission and Rs.1,487 bn for sub-transmission and power distribution system, in order to tackle the power deficit situation prevailing in the country. We believe that companies possessing financial strength and project execution skills will enjoy an edge over their competitors and will be better positioned to capitalize on the opportunities arising in the power transmission sector.

plans to add 3,253,773 ckt km of line length and 214,000 MVA of substation capacity to the countrys distribution system, for which it plans to invest Rs.1,404 bn in the transmission sector and Rs.1,487 bn in the sub-transmission & power distribution system in the XI Five Year Plan. This will keep the order books of the players in the transmission sector robust for the next few years.
Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL), the main source of equipment orders in India
PGCIL is the dominant player in the Indian power transmission market and undertakes a majority of the transmission projects, thereby acting as the key source for equipment orders. The companys projects include high voltage lines of 400-800 kV, 1,200 kV, 500kV Dc and 800kV DC, as well as expansion of the existing transmission line network. PGCIL has planned a capex of Rs.550 bn for XIth FYP and targeted an interregional transmission capacity of 37,700 MW by the end of the XIth FYP, which will create a significant opportunity for companies in the transmission sector. The Mundra, Sasan, Krishnapatnam and Tilaiya UMPPs have been awarded to project developers and each UMPP will entail an investment of Rs.45-50 bn for setting up a transmission system. In order to evacuate power from the Mundra UMPP, PGCIL has allocated a budget of Rs.48.24 bn for building transmission infrastructure. PGCIL has planned a capex of Rs.120 bn for FY10, out of which a major portion will be used for setting up 765kV transmission lines in order to evacuate power from the four upcoming UMPPs. Hence, the UMPPs will benefit players in the transmission sector.
Upgradation of system to reduce T&D losses provides ample opportunities for transmission companies
According to industry sources, Indias AT&C losses stand at around 32%, which the government is targeting to reduce to 15% by 2012, by consistently strengthening and improving the countrys interstate and interregional networks through the use of new technologies. However, the orders from state electricity boards (SEB) and international geographies are likely to slow down due to the uncertain global macro environment.
The key growth driver for the Indian transmission tower sector has been the move to integrate the countrys transmission network through a national grid i.e., increasing the interregional transmission network to 37,700MW by 2012 from the current capacity of 20,800MW.

The dynamics of the power market is changing with a shift towards national transmission of power, as compared to the earlier region centric generation and consumption pattern. Earlier, the surplus available in one region was not being fully utilized in other deficit regions, as the previous plans were not for bulk inter-regional transfer. In line with the shift, new power generating capacities will be set up in locations based on their proximity to raw material sources and will distribute power to regions depending on their requirements.
Overseas market
The players in the transmission tower sector are also set to benefit from the emerging export markets, such as the Middle East and Africa, where transmission tower infrastructure is being ramped up. Africa and the Middle East continue to offer immense opportunities, on account of their need for a better power The players in the transmission transmission network, funding support from multilateral tower sector are also set to benefit agencies, huge power generation plans, and increased from the emerging export markets, spending by oil producing countries. For instance, KEC such as the Middle East and Africa, International derives about 60% of its revenues from where transmission tower exports, mainly from the Middle East and Gulf region, infrastructure is being ramped up while Africa is in the development stage and the availability of electricity in some parts of the region is in the range of 45%.

Interest rates
The transmission line industry is working capital intensive in nature. We expect an increase in the interest rates in the near future, which could adversely impact the performance of the players in the transmission companies. Due to high interest rates, the players in this space could find it difficult to meet their working capital requirements.

Margin Analysis
Over the period FY06-09, JSL and KEC recorded a CAGR of 35% and 25.7% respectively in revenues. In FY09, the margins of all the three players declined due to high raw material prices and forex losses. KPTLs margins declined from 17% in FY07, which was the highest among the three companies, to 10% in FY09. For FY10E, we expect JSLs margins to decline, though we estimate the margins of KEC and KPTL to improve to 8.9% and 10.8% respectively.

www.firstglobal.in The working capital cycle for both, KEC and KPTL, increased in FY09. Since most of JSLs working capital requirement is to be funded by debt, the company is more vulnerable to an increase in working capital than KEC, which will have a direct impact on its interest costs.
Return on Equity
The RoE of the three companies has been on a declining trend on account of an increase in raw material prices. In FY09, JSLs RoE declined 240 bps to 20.9%, while that of KEC and KPTL fell sharply from 44.6% and 22.8% to 21.7% and 13.3% respectively. We expect the RoE of KEC, KPTIL and JSL to improve by around 2% in FY10E.

Interest cost
We expect JSL to fund a large part of its working capital requirement through debt. As a result, higher debt and high borrowing costs could pull down JSLs PBT margin, on account of the increase in the companys interest cost.

In order to benefit from the growth in the T&D space in Africa, where the availability of electricity in some parts of the country is in the range of 5-6%, the company has formed a joint venture, Jyoti Structures Africa (Pty.) Ltd. and signed a contract with the Republic of South Africa for 765 kv transmission line worth Rands 184 mn (Rs.930 mn). Over the period 2004-09, the companys production capacity recorded a CAGR of 16%, while production recorded a CAGR of 32%. The company recently increased its capacity from 95,800MT to 110,000MT and is expected to witness a robust order flow in the next two-three years, due to spending on the national grid by PGCIL and the governments thrust on rural electrification programmes. The companys capacity utilization increased from 41% in FY04 to 77.6% in FY09 on the increased capacity of 110,000MT and we expect the capacity utilization to be in the 80-83% range on the back of higher order intake in the coming years. The companys capacity expansion, coupled with higher capacity utilization, will result in better order intake.

Financial Highlights
Around 65% of JSLs orders come from transmission projects, 15% from substations, and the rest 20% from rural electrification related distribution projects. Almost 85% of JSLs orders are from the domestic market. With a rich experience of over three decades, the company boasts of executing projects across 36 countries worldwide.
Margins
JSLs order book currently stands at Rs.40 bn, or 2.3x its FY09 revenues, and is executable in 18-24 months. We expect the companys order book execution to drive a CAGR of 30% in its total revenues from FY09 to FY11E. The companys EBIDTA margin declined from 12.9% in FY07 to 11.4% in FY09, primarily on account of an increase in Other expenses (conversion expenses and freight charges), as well as fixed price international orders.
