Investors Rationale
The Indian Navy has huge acquisition plans with requirements of more
than 100 ships of different types including submarines in the next two decades. The Indian Coast Guard would also need about 160 ships over next seven years. The company has been declared as the successful bidder for construction of five Offshore Patrol vessels for Indian Navy with order value of approx. `29.75 billion.
engineering sector which has huge potential through extending its product range with use of its engineering infrastructure. It is also in talks with some reputed players in this segment.
PDOECL has a robust order book of around $1.5 billion, which offers
good revenue visibility. Around half the order book comprises export orders, 42% comes from defence and the remaining are offshore orders. With the continuous inflow of high value orders across all the geographies in both defence and offshore space, we expect the total order book of PDOECL to grow more than four- fold to ~$6-7billion by the end of FY12.

Shareholding Pattern
Joins hands with Airbus SAS of France, marking its foray into the aviation business
PDOECL has joined hands with Airbus SAS of France to jointly develop aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) unit in India, with an initial investment of `4900 million ($100 million). PDOECL will hold a 51% in the Joint venture while EADS will pick up 26% equity in the project and may further increase its stake to 49%. The MRO facilities and associated infrastructure, the first of its kind in the country, is likely to be used for civilian and military applications. The company also intends to add a spare parts and logistics unit to the MRO facility and induct a technical partner for effective operations. Though PDOECL is yet to decide the location for the MRO unit, it has shortlisted five places for the purpose, viz Cochin International Airport in Kerala, old Bangalore international airport, a small airport site in Maharashtra and two other sites near private airports The deal will help PDOECL to position itself in the aerospace sector as it expects $500 million a year in revenue from the business, over the next five-six years. With rapid growth in the Indias aviation sector, the MRO market in the country is expected to generate ~$1.06 billion revenues by 2015. MRO service requirements in the country are expected to grow annually at a compounded rate of 13.5% in the same period. Low labour costs in India at around $30-35 per man hour, compared with $55-60 in South-East Asia and the Middle East and even higher in the US and Europe also makes India a lucrative destination among its peers for MRO service.

PDOECL to see additional revenue booking with its Oct delivery of a break bulk carrier
Indias largest shipyard at the Gulf of Cambay in Gujarat on the West coast, PDOECL has a robust order book, having signed many million dollar contracts with overseas ship owners, Indian state run organizations as well as the Indian Navy. With its developed Comprehensive and holistic heavy engineering and integrated defence infrastructure base, the company is all set to make a series of ship deliveries. The first ship, a 75,000 tonner break bulk carrier, built for Norwegian ship owners is ready for delivery by the end of October 2011. Another vessel is also getting ready for delivery and should be handed over soon thereafter. The company has also signed a contract with the Indian Defence Ministry to the tune of $ 660 million for the design and construction of naval gunboats for the Indian Navy. In addition, PDOECL is in the process of adding another dry dock adjacent to the existing facility on the south western coast of Gujarat, at a cost of around $230 million.
Growth Strategy
With well-built infrastructure, developed global standards in capabilities, technology and size, PDOECL is expected to mark the progress from FY12 onwards after the establishment of all the growth pillars. After the successful accomplishment of the delivery of two Panamax bulk carriers for the Golden Ocean group in June this year, the company is on the verge of delivering another vessel in October, sharpening its competitive edge in the execution front. Going further, the order book is expected to grow multi-fold on the back of increasing defence demand, greater demand for offshore assets, and the significant need for repair for vessels visiting/ passing through Indian waters. The company is also well-poised with modern heavy engineering facilities to undertake both civil and non-civil heavy engineering projects, whether be the construction of civil nuclear reactors or land based heavy defence machinery such as tanks. With offshore activities shifting to deeper waters and increasing demand from the naval sector, Indian industry will undergo a dynamic change in the coming years. Having invested in state of the art facilities and having developed a world-class heavy engineering infrastructure with attached dry dock, PDOECL stands at the forefront of private sector companies ready to capitalize on increased opportunities provided in the defence and offshore oil and gas assets space and is set to experience robust growth and profitability going forward.
Defence
Global repair market will continue to increase substantially. Segment will capture demand from Indian ships that depends on
domestic shipyards India is likely grow to be major hub for ship repair by 2020.
One of the largest dry docks in the world Can accomodate vessels of up to 4,00,000 DWT
Advanced shipbuilding technology aided by international expertise coupled with a competitive cost structure Associated with reputed strategic partners across the globe, including Europe, in South Korea and Singapore
Risk factors Though in recent times, PDOECL has turned around to make profits in the last couple of quarters, increasing debt and tardiness in
launching ships could put pressure on profitability.
Despite a robust order book and world-class infrastructure to boast of, PDOECL is yet to prove itself on the execution front given the
companys limited track record in the space.
Though PDOECL has emerged as the first private sector company to get a license from Government of India to build submarines and
warships, the company confronts several macro-economic hurdles like rising input cost, lack of transparent policy and uncertainty in approvals etc.
Global Scenario
While the global shipbuilding outlook until 2011 looked subdued, it is expected that the commercial shipbuilding industry will turnaround by FY 2012-13. Global trends show a demand for larger vessels as the pursuit of economies of scale drives businesses to demand both bigger and fuel efficient ships. Since ships that can carry larger cargoes translate into lower cost of transport, companies that are able to deliver large vessels will benefit. There is also a demand in niche sectors. For example, increased requirements for dredging have translated into demand for dredgers. Similarly the emergence of LNG as a substitute for coal is resulting in a demand for LNG Carriers. Increased spending on infrastructure and subsea pipelines is resulting in greater demand for Heavy Lift Vessels. Companies like yours capable of manufacturing these specialised vessels would gain from this demand.
Outlook
The Indian Government has encouraged indigenization of defence hardware with introduction of the Make Indian and Buy Indian category in its Defence Procurement Policy. It is aimed at promoting production of defence equipment by capable Indian companies. In view of global aspirations of economically strong India, ever increasing geo-political challenges and the need for antipiracy operations in the Indian Ocean, the Indian Navy and Coast Guard are being modernized for safeguarding Indias maritime interests. Moreover, the scope of naval defence is further widened by providing support to maritime neighbours during natural disasters. This will require a massive as well as rapid expansion of Indias Naval and Coast Guard fleet. There is a huge replacement/ refurbishment demand for defence vessels. About 40% of the commercial fleet is more than 20 years old and Indian ship owners are expected to spend approx. $4 billion to replace these during FY 2010-2015. In India, the demand for high-end offshore facilities such as drill ships and floating production storage platforms amounts to approximately $20-40 billion. With the oil prices on a rise, the importance of this sector is building up.
