Investment Rationale
Power generation capacity addition target of 178 GW in XIth and XIIth Plans
Attractive growth opportunities for power equipment Power demand in India, measured by peak load, has grown at 5.4%
manufacturers in India due to the aggressive power CAGR in FY04-09 to 109.8 GW driven by the robust economic growth
generation capacity addition targets set by the (GDP grew at an 8.8% CAGR) and rapid industrial development in the
government for the XIth and XIIth Plans country. However, power supply has lagged demand due to the structural
deficits in the economy and the historic underachievement of power
generation capacity addition targets (50% underachievement over the last
three five year plans). Consequently, peak load deficit in India has been in
the range of 12-16% since the beginning of the last decade.

With the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) forecasting robust growth of


power demand in India (15% CAGR in FY09-FY17E to 331 GW), the
government has set aggressive capacity addition targets for the XIth
(FY07-12) and XIIth (FY07-12) Plans of nearly 178 GW (vs. 21 GW added in
the Xth Plan), providing attractive growth opportunities for power plant
equipment suppliers in India. Aggressive expansion targets have
translated to robust order inflows for power equipment manufacturers,
with the domestic industry leader Bhel enjoying a nearly 54% share in
both the XIth and XIIth Plan ordering to date. Chinese manufacturers, on
the other hand, follow Bhel with a share of 20% in the XIth Plan orders
and 29% in XIIth Plan orders.

book (Rs 1,43,800 crore in FY10) and expanded the key beneficiary due to its strong market position (estimated power
manufacturing capacity sector order book size of Rs 120,792 crore in FY10), strong relationship
with government agencies and capacity expansion plans. Bhel enjoys a
54% share in the capacity ordered for the XIth Plan (~80 GW) providing it
strong sales visibility over the next two or three years, with revenues
estimated to grow at 22% CAGR in FY10-12E to Rs 49,873 crore (average
execution period of 3.5 years in FY12E vs. four years in FY09). Topline will
be supported by robust growth expected for the industrial segment (33%
CAGR in FY10-12E to Rs 13,701 crore) fuelled by its large order book (~Rs
15,818 crore in FY10), pick-up of industrial capex in India and initiatives by
Bhel to diversify earnings (transmission & distribution, railways and
nuclear power businesses).

In FY10, Bhel’s gross sales grew 21% YoY to Rs 34,050 crore driven by
the strong performance of the power segment. However, new order
inflows marginally declined by 1% YoY to Rs 59,031 crore contributed by
the lower orders secured from the power segment (down 11% YoY to Rs
41,976 crore).

addition for the XIIth Plan (~100 GW), equipment orders have already
been placed for 47.2 GW capacity, with Bhel capturing a 54% share.
Assuming Bhel captures a 54% share in the remaining XIIth Plan orders,
we estimate new order inflows of 29 GW for the company during FY11E-

Private sector surprises in FY10


Of the nearly 16.5 GW new orders secured by Bhel in FY10, the private
sector accounted for ~14.7 GW. In our view, this is a positive
development given that nearly 50% of the power capacity addition for the
XIIth Plan will come from the private sector (vs. 14% in the XIth Plan).
Historically, Bhel’s market share in the private sector has been low due to
the long execution period associated with the company and intense
JVs with SEBs expected to contribute to order inflows in competition from Chinese players (quicker delivery period and more price
FY11E competitive).

We expect Bhel’s share in the private sector to increase in the XIIth Plan
due to the high share of private sector orders in the XIIth Plan and limited
competition from foreign equipment suppliers in ultra mega power
projects (UMPPs).

Well placed to secure supercritical orders


According to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), nearly 60% of the
power capacity addition for the XIIth Plan will be based on supercritical
technology (vs. 10% share in the XIth Plan) due to its higher efficiency
(and higher PLFs) and lower emission levels. Bhel upgraded its
Well placed to secure large supercritical orders in NTPC- technology to supercritical levels following its technological
DVC bid in H1 FY10 collaborations with Alstom and Siemens and currently has four orders for
supercritical sets worth nearly Rs 22,000 crore.

The company has also entered into joint ventures (JVs) with state
electricity boards (SEBs) for setting up supercritical power plants in
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Recently, Bhel
secured an order from the Karnataka JV for setting-up a 1,600 MW
(2x800MW) supercritical plant in Yeramarus, Karnataka. We expect Bhel to
finalise orders for supercritical sets from the remaining JVs during FY11E.

Bhel protected from competition in NTPC-DVC bid


In the recently floated bulk equipment tender by NTPC and Damodar
Valley Corporation (DVC), there were only two bidders in the boiler
segment (Bhel and L&T) and five bidders in the turbine segment (Bhel,
L&T-MHI, Bharat Forge-Alstom, JSW-Toshiba and Power Machines).
Chinese and Korean players were left out due to the requirements of an
indigenous domestic manufacturing facility and partnership with a local
player.

The tender is for the supply of 11 turbines and 11 boilers of 660 MW each
(worth Rs 40,000-45,000 crore) to be awarded by July 2010, with Bhel
assured of winning orders for at least five boilers and four turbines (6+5
in case it is the L1 bidder). Nevertheless, we expect strong price
competition in the bidding process, especially from new players as they
will look to establish themselves in the market through this bid.

With Bhel enjoying a strong position in the NTPC-DVC bid and expected
orders from SEBs, we expect the government sector to contribute a
majority of the new orders in FY11E, driving power orders to 13.8 GW (vs.
16.5 GW in FY10). A majority of these are expected to come in H1FY11.
We expect private sector ordering to remain subdued this year as majority
of private sector clients have already placed orders.

L&T: strongest domestic threat to Bhel at present


With a 20 GW annual target of power capacity addition till FY17,
significant shortfall exists on the supply side. Bhel leads the pack with a
manufacturing capacity of 15 GW by the end of March 2010. Attracted by
the growth opportunities, domestic players have entered into
technological JVs with foreign players, including L&T-Mitsubishi, Bharat
Forge-Alstom, JSW-Toshiba, GB Engineering-Ansaldo, etc. As a result,
domestic manufacturing capacity is expected to rise by ~20 GW over the
next two or three years, led by Bhel (capacity to be raised by a further 5
GW by FY12E).

However, we believe L&T, with an installed production capacity of 4 GW,


is the only serious threat to Bhel among domestic competitors at present,
with the former aggressively bidding for projects against the latter in
recent months. Furthermore, we expect increased price competitiveness
in the future as L&T plans to ramp up production capacity to 6 GW and its
lower target EBITDA margins of 13% (vs. ~18% of Bhel in FY10).

On the other hand, manufacturing capacity of other players is expected to


come on stream after at least three to four years. Furthermore, several
competitors, including Bharat Forge and JSW, do not have any
experience in manufacturing power equipment, thus further reducing the
threat to Bhel. In our view, Bhel is well-positioned to face the increased
competition due to:

ƒ Its strong experience of executing power projects for the last 40-45
years; share of 64% in India’s total installed capacity of 138 GW in
FY09
ƒ Wide product portfolio covering the entire range of equipment
required to build power plants
ƒ Plans to increase installed production capacity to 20 GW by March
2012 (vs. 15 GW in FY10)
ƒ Strong service network

Significant threat still from low cost Chinese manufacturers


Although Chinese manufacturers are barred from bidding for government
Total 29% share of Chinese players in XIIth Plan
projects and UMPPs, they present a substantial threat to Bhel given their
orders to date
low cost nature (10-15% cheaper than Bhel), superior project
management capabilities (timely deliveries) and nearly 29% share of
private sector ordering to date in the XIIth plan. Furthermore, the
government’s decision to not levy a 14% import duty on Chinese power
equipment imports adds to their competitiveness, in addition to the recent
thumbs-up given by the CEA on quality of Chinese equipment.

Already, large private sector power producers such as Reliance Power,


Adani Power, JSW Energy, Sterlite Energy and Lanco are sourcing power
equipment from Chinese manufacturers as Shanghai Electric, Sichuan
Machinery & Equipment Corporation and Shandong Electric Power
Construction Corporation.

In our view, the prerequisite for private sector power producers to place
low bids for UMPPs made Chinese equipment suppliers the natural
choice. Consequently, Chinese players secured orders for supplying
equipment for the four UMPPs (Mundra in Gujarat, Sasan in Madhya
Pradesh, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Tilaiya in Jharkhand).
However, with the government’s recent decision to bar foreign equipment
manufacturers from supplying equipment for UMPPs, we expect Bhel to
be the primary beneficiary due to expected bidding for new UMPPs
(Cheyyur in Tamil Nadu, Sundergarh in Orissa and Akaltara in
Chhattisgarh) over the next few months.

Positive outlook for Industrial segment


Positive outlook for Bhel’s Industrial segment due to pick-

Given the rising competition in the power plant equipment manufacturing
India
business and limited prospects for growing the power segment order
book in the next two or three years, the management plans to increase
focus on other businesses (transmission, transport, and renewable and
nuclear energy). We estimate revenues of Bhel’s Industrial segment to
grow at 33% CAGR in FY10-12E to Rs 13,701 crore (vs. 14% CAGR in
FY08-10).

With the Indian economy gaining momentum (GDP to grow at 8.5% per
annum in FY11E-12E) and pick-up of industrial capex, we believe Bhel’s
Industrial segment will enjoy strong growth over the next two or three
years. Order inflow grew by 40% YoY to Rs 14,366 crore in FY10 driven
by the metallurgical and petrochemical sectors, especially for building of
CPPs (due to the significant power shortfall in the country). With demand
for cement and steel expected to rise in the backdrop of infrastructure
focused budget and stability of international crude oil prices, we expect
major industrial houses to go ahead with their capacity expansion plans,
fuelling increased demand for CPPs.

Furthermore, the economies associated with captive power production


adds to the appeal of CPPs. Based on our analysis, cost of captive power
is computed at Rs 2,530/MW (vs. Rs 3,450/MW for grid power) assuming a

…and large order wins in T&D and transportation businesses YTD FY10
Bhel is already the market leader in the supply of transmission equipment
up to 400 KV and has recently signed a memorandum of understanding
(MoU) to form a JV with Toshiba for the transmission & distribution
business, including manufacturing 765 KV and above category
transmission systems and gas insulated switchgears, for which significant
demand exists in India.

We are positive on the growth prospects of the transportation business,


with Bhel being the leading supplier of traction equipment and electric
locomotives to Indian Railways and to the latter’s capacity enhancement

We expect EBITDA margins to decline to 17% in FY11E (vs.
17.7% in FY10) primarily due to higher commodity prices
and higher import component for supercritical orders Margin expansion a challenge
In our view, Bhel will find it tough to expand margins considering the
increased competition (L&T bidding aggressively for power projects in
recent months) and rising commodity prices. Further, the higher share of
supercritical orders executed by the company (10-20% of operations in
the initial years) is likely to contribute to margin pressures (due to higher
input content). Consequently, we expect Bhel’s EBITDA margins to
decline to 17% in FY11E (estimated at 17.7% in FY10), despite the recent
wage settlement by the company.

Despite the margin pressure, Bhel will continue to enjoy higher EBITDA
margins vis-à-vis domestic and international peers due to the continuance
of its leadership position in the power sector. The management
recognises that being cost competitive is integral for Bhel to maintain its
leadership status, thus focusing on initiatives as design to cost, lean
manufacturing, and purchase and supply management. Supply chain
initiatives include leveraging IT (negotiations through reverse auctions, e-
procurement), long-term rate contracts (steel, copper, transformer oil,
etc), vendor base expansion for BOPs (40 new vendors in FY09 and 38 in
FY10 – up to November 2009), outsourcing (low technology/low core
manufacturing), etc.

Risks and Concerns


Slow execution rate by Bhel may result in lower new order growth
With Bhel securing several private sector orders in YTDFY10 and strong
backlog of public sector orders, slow project execution by the company
may lead to lower new orders in the future. Historically, Bhel has been
criticised for its slow execution rate owing to its limited manufacturing
capacity and delays caused by its vendors. Consequently, a delay in
capacity expansion (20 GW expected by FY12E) could result in a lower
execution rate, with customers’ preference shifting in favour of private
equipment manufacturers (with better project management capabilities).

Market share loss due to increased domestic competition


Bhel’s dominant position in the domestic market is threatened by the
increasing competition, with domestic players (L&T, JSW, GB
Engineering, Bharat Forge, Thermax, etc.) entering the market in
collaboration with foreign technology partners. As a result, industry
capacity is estimated to increase to 35 GW over the next two or three
years vs. 15 GW by the end of March 2010. With the higher contribution
of the private sector orders in the XIth Plan (~50%), we believe Bhel
could lose market share in an open market scenario.

Deregulation may lead to lower order flows


Although foreign equipment manufacturers are limited from bidding for
government projects (requirement for domestic manufacturing facility and
transfer of technology to local partner), any relaxation of the above norms
may result in increased competition, particularly from China and Korea,
resulting in reduced order flows for Bhel.

Margin contraction due to higher commodity prices


With the economy gaining steam, prices of key commodities (including
steel and crude oil) have increased during the last few months. We expect
commodity prices to continue rising fuelled by the robust demand from
the infrastructure sector and pick-up of industrial activity, which could
result in contraction of Bhel’s margins.

Currency appreciation may lead to preference for imported equipment


Bhel’s competitive position could be adversely impacted by appreciation
of the rupee (availability of imported equipment at a lower price).

Provisional Results - FY10


Performance beats management targets comfortably
In FY10, Bhel reported a 21% growth in turnover to Rs 34,050 crore,
beating management guidance comfortably (Rs 32,000 crore). The
performance was on the back of strong growth of turnover in Q4FY10
(+26% to Rs 13,948 crore) fuelled by an enhanced execution capabilities.
PBT and PAT grew by 31% and 37%, respectively. Our ability to further
analyse the performance is constrained by the limited details available in
the provisional results.

For FY11E, the management has announced a normal turnover target of


Rs 38,000 crore (and stretch target of Rs 39,500 crore). We believe the
targets are conservative given Bhel’s large order book and enhanced
execution capabilities. Consequently, we expect Bhel to comfortably beat
its turnover targets in FY11E (+28% vs. 11.6% management target).

Revenues to grow at a 22% CAGR in FY10-12E
With a total order book size of Rs 1,43,800 crore in FY10 and average
execution period of four years, we estimate Bhel’s revenues will grow at
22% CAGR in FY10-12E to Rs 49,873 crore. We expect revenues of the
power segment to grow strongly in FY10-12E (19% CAGR to Rs 38,244
crore) as Bhel enjoys a 54% share of XI plan power equipment orders.
Growth of this segment will be supported by Bhel’s expanded
manufacturing capacity (15 GW by end of FY10), leading to a faster
execution rate in FY11E-12E (3.5 years vs. four years in FY09). We believe
the power segment will continue to dominate with a 74% share of
revenues in FY12E (vs. 78% in FY10).

Limited scope to expand margins in FY11E-12E


In the first nine months of FY10, EBITDA margins expanded to 17.5% (vs.
16.1% in FY09) fuelled by lower commodity prices and cost saving
initiatives by the company. For FY11E, we expect EBITDA margins to be
lower at 17% due to higher commodity prices and higher proportion of
supercritical projects executed by Bhel.

In our view, margins will come under pressure despite the recent wage
settlement by the company. The wage settlement, covering all categories
of employees wef January 2007, was finalised in FY10 and the payment
arising were made; provisioning of Rs 1,113 crore in nine months of
FY10.

Return ratios to improve in FY10


Bhel will continue to enjoy high return ratios due to its dominant industry
status. For FY10, we estimate RoCE and RoNW to improve fuelled by the
higher profitability. However, they are likely to decline in FY11E-12E due
to the margin contraction (increased competition, higher share of
supercritical projects, higher raw material costs, etc).

We believe key downside risks emanate from a slower-than-expected


execution rate by Bhel and higher raw material costs. According to our
sensitivity analysis, a 10% lower execution rate will result in an EPS
decline by 8% and 6.1% in FY11E and FY12E, respectively, vis-à-vis our
estimates. Similarly a 100 bps increase in raw materials/sales will result in
an EPS decline by 5.5% each in FY11E and FY12E, respectively.
