A Play on Volume Growth… Size of capacity increase to be the benchmark for determining incremental volume share for players – Invest in players who have well‐defined capex plans and growth oriented strategy!!!
• Elections will sooner or later result in a spurt in demand • Industry cannot afford to break the price discipline • Current profitability is not sufficient enough for a smooth execution of planned capacities • Realistically, utilisations will improve as delays in execution of few capacities are inevitable • Industry remains and will remain focused on minimum required EBITDA/tonne • Valuations will be largely dependent on volume growth potential of cement manufacturers • “Average” profit margins of Tier I and Other cement manufacturers do not always differ very
significantly, though Tier I players command significant and consistent brand premium
“Capacity additions remains in favor of mid‐caps, barring aggressive major UltraTech Cement” Vaibhav Agarwal

Demand surprise on the cards, given the election era… • It is often argued that elections can trigger the demand substantially. To
verify this theory, we have analysed the demand trends across various states and regions during the pre‐election era / election era.
• The results indicate that this theory is true and on an average, elections can trigger ~15% demand growth.
• Given the upcoming elections across various states of India, we strongly believe, cement demand can surprise us positively in 4QFY13E and FY14E. Over FY13E‐17E, we believe cement demand has the potential to grow by a CAGR of minimum of 7%, even in a worst case scenario. In a best case scenario, demand has a potential to grow at CAGR of +10% over FY13E‐17E.
Cement pricing to remain strong; realistically utilisations will improve • We strongly believe cement prices will remain strong on pan‐India basis.
Going as per the book schedule of capacity additions, utilisations may remain low. However, given the delays / deferrals of new capacities (as cash flows are not strong enough for a smooth execution of all planned additions); realistically we believe utilisations will show signs of improvement hereon.
• Penalty levied by Competition Commission of India (CCI) on eleven cement manufacturers of the Indian cement industry believing these players are forming a cartel to increase prices is keeping and likely to continue to keep cement manufacturers indifferent towards pricing.
• In most cases we have factored in a marginal 5% price hike on an annual basis. Weighted average cement realisations have grown at CAGR of 9.6% between FY04‐12 as against a cost CAGR of 9.0%. Hence, in our opinion a 5% annual price hike is the least we can expect from the industry.
• Strong cement prices is a necessity for the industry to execute smooth capex. In our thesis we will also evaluate a need for a healthy pricing environment and put forward some strong arguments why we expect pricing to remain favorable.
Timely execution of capacity additions will be far lower than actually planned • Industry has created 141 mn tonnes p.a. of new capacity over the last five
years (Since FY07) and another 135 mn tonnes is in pipeline for the next 3 years. If it goes through on time, effectively industry will be adding ~280mn tonnes of capacity over a 10 year time line.
• It is to be noted that the said 135 mn tonnes of new capacity addition is the possible and planned additions by the industry. Actual additions are likely to be materially lower than planned additions on account of the current surplus capacity available and lack of sufficient cash flows to support these additions, as per schedule (Discussed in detail in later sections of this report). Voluntary deferrals will also lead to delayed capex.
• Industry players have now understood the importance of behaving maturely and we will highlight the strong discipline of the industry in various sections of this report. Focused and dedicated cement manufacturers will continue to grow with strong capex while players lacking vision of capacity additions will remain at a clear disadvantage and may ultimately seek an exit.

Demand: Positive surprise seems very likely Do Elections Really Impact Demand Growth? Spurt in cement demand is often correlated to the pre‐election / election spending by the state / political parties / various governments. We have therefore highlighted the historical variation in cement demand across various states of India during pre‐election / election phase. The same can be elaborated in the table below: State Region Historical average Demand Growth during Pre‐
Election / Election Phase

It is clear from the above table that elections do have a significant impact on cement demand growth. Given the upcoming elections in various states of India and based on the historical trends, we will now evaluate the potential of demand growth in the country and the various regions in various scenarios (Optimistic / Realistic / Pessimistic Scenario) over the next five years.
On an average, results indicate thehistorical average demand growthduring pre‐election / election phase is @~15%.
2013 and 2014 will see 17 statesentering election phase (10 states in2013 and 7 states in 2014).
East India has seen the maximumincrease in demand during electionsphase @ 20.1% while South India hasseen the minimal impact @8.5%.

To summarize, the range of FY13E‐17E CAGR for all‐India demand is likely between 7.2% ‐ 10.4%. The expected CAGRs (FY13E‐17E) for pan‐India and all regions interestingly remains the same at 10.4% in an optimistic scenario. In a realistic scenario, the all‐India CAGR (FY13E‐17E) is expected at 8.6% with East India’s growth being the highest at 9.6% and South India’s growth lowest at 7.3%. In a pessimistic scenario, the all‐India CAGR (FY13E‐17E) is expected at 7.2% with East India’s growth being the highest at 8.2% and South India’s growth lowest at 5.9%. In other words, we can expect the all‐India demand CAGR (FY13E‐17E) to be at a minimum of 7.2% and can trigger upto 10.4%. As far as demand is concerned, East India is likely to remain the most favorable, followed by North, Central, West and South.
Across all three scenarios we haveanalysed, East India seems to remainmost promising region (as far asdemand is concerned). At pan‐Indialevel, even in a worst case scenario,demand is likely to grow at a CAGR ofminimum of 7.2% over FY13E‐17E
In order of preference as far as demandgrowth is concerned, the most preferredregion is East India, followed by NorthIndia, Central India, West India andSouth India

FY14E and FY15E very likely to restorethe aberration in Cement Consumption/ GDP ratio with a reasonably highconsumption growth multiple.
CAGRs (FY05‐12) of GDP growth rateand cement consumption growth overFY05‐12 stands @ 8.3% and 8.8%,respectively. Demand recovery seemsvery likely in near term given thesematerially high CAGR’s than the currentgrowth rates.

Overcapacity will remain a long‐term reality Indian cement industry, in our opinion will continue to be bothered by overcapacity for the next few years and increasing average pan‐India capacity utilisations materially for the industry will remain a challenging task. Existing players and few maiden entrants such as Reliance Cement remain ambitious of adding new capacities, given an opportunity. Consolidation moves by larger players such as UltraTech Cement will be structurally “a very positive move” for the sector. Regional scenarios will differ significantly. Over the next three years, we expect North India capacity utilisations to remain most favorable (~90%) followed by Central and Western regions. South will continue to remain most impacted by overcapacity and utilisations in South India are likely to remain at more or less 60% levels for the next few years. Capacity utilisations in East may drop significantly post FY13E on back of capacity additions. However many of the capacities likely to be added in this region remain questionable with regards to their execution. Overall, we believe there is no complete relief to the industry from over‐capacity in the near term or foreseeable longer term. North, West and Central regions are likely to perform relatively better than other regions of the country.

Overcapacity scenario will not change inforeseeable future. Industry will need tocontinue to operate at controlledcapacity utilisations (though utilisationswill be better than current) to ensure astable and healthy pricing environment.
Andhra Pradesh constitutes the largeststate capacity. States of Rajasthan andTamil Nadu follows. These three statesconstitute ~42% of all‐India cementcapacity. Other states with largecapacity chunks include states ofGujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka,Maharashtra & Chhattisgarh.

It is to be noted, capacity addition in the above table includes all possible capacities (including probable capacities) which may or may not be executed as per timeline or schedule. It also includes capacities which have a probability of being rolled back or not being executed at all. The table above is an exhaustive possible list of expansions and at best industry will add ~135 mn tonnes of capacity by the end of FY15E. We strongly believe Industry will not execute more than 50% of the capacities above as per schedule. We will discuss the reasons for the same in the forthcoming sections of this report.
Significant delays cannot be ruled out inthe capacity additions mentionedabove. We expect that not more than50% of capacities mentioned above willcommission on time.

From the above table following are our key observations (observations based on Weighted Average calculations): • Net Realisations and Total Operating Expenses FY04‐12 CAGRs (at 9.6% and 9.0%,
respectively) of the industry have grown largely in‐line with each other. Hence, we believe, it will be unfair to hold the industry responsible for cement price escalation.
• EBITDA has grown at a CAGR of 12.4% from Rs327/tonne to Rs836/tonne. • EBITDA margins peaked out in FY08 at ~33%. Current EBITDA margins are ~12% lower
than peak EBITDA margin in FY08. • Raw material costs have seen the highest escalation with a CAGR of 12.7%. Stores and
spares show the least escalation with a CAGR of 2.7%. All other expense heads viz. Employee Cost, Power & Fuel Cost, Freight Cost and Other Expenses have registered CAGR’s in the range of ~8%‐9.5%.
Similar CAGR’s of Net Realisations andOpex suggests it is ‘unfair’ to hold theindustry responsible for cement priceincrease. Raw materials have seen themaximum increase at a CAGR of 12.7%.Also, current EBITDA marginssignificantly lower than the peakmargins for the industry registered inFY08 (@33%).

Key observations • Leaders such as ACC Limited, Ambuja Cements and UltraTech Cement clearly command a
premium in realisations as compared to all other cement manufacturers. The premium can be as high as Rs20/bag.
• Realisations of Jaypee Cement have not been favorable to the overall average realisations of top cement manufacturers. The impact of Jaypee Cement to the overall average net realisation of top cement manufacturers has been to the tune of negative ~Rs4‐10/bag.
• We can infer from this that strong branding and advertising does really make a material impact on realisations of cement manufacturers. We strongly believe that companies which intend to create a premium brand value for themselves and which remains focused on its brand premium, will continue to enjoy premium in realisations vis‐à‐vis others. Unified brand identity and having thrust on continuous improvements in supply‐chain management systems are some of the add‐ons which can help cement manufacturers garner better premium.
• Opex/tonne of cement majors is generally a higher (Rs7‐14/bag) than that of the smaller cement manufacturers and this seems higher largely on other expenses front (marketing, advertising, commissions etc.). Freight cost of majors (upto Rs6/bag) also tends to be higher which is indicative of the larger lead distances and market reach for them. On all other expenses front, the expense pattern of the industry is largely similar (Some marginal variations can be observed in other spend heads which does not seem to be very material). The pie below indicates the operating cost structure of the industry in FY12.
• Interesting, no consistent trend can be established in EBITDA/tonne of the top cement manufacturers and the regional leaders / smaller players. This probably, is indicative of the fact that players adopt strategies based on their inherent strengths of location advantage, market reach, local distribution network etc. This is also an indication that majority of the players target a similar EBITDA/tonne. Players having competitive advantage to others generally pass‐on the cost benefits to consumers to ensure a firm market grip in their markets. EBITDA/tonne, in our view remains the base to derive the ultimate cement price. The variation in average EBITDA/tonne does not seem to be higher than Rs7/bag between majors and other players.

Tier I brands clearly command apremium in cement realisation to theextent of ~Rs20/bag. Realisations ofJaypee Cement have not been favorableto sustain the premium of Top Cementmanufacturers. The impact has beennegative to the tune of Rs4‐10/bag.
Expense pattern of the industry playersseems largely similar. Majors tend tospend more on advertising andmarketing activities which increasestheir overall opex.
Power & Fuel is the biggest costfollowed by Freight Cost, Raw Materialsand Other Expenses.

Why cement pricing will remain strong? We strongly believe that cement prices in the country will continue to hold strong. Industry is expected to behave in a much more disciplined and matured fashion given the pipeline of capex for the industry. Though utilisations will improve, it will be kept at relatively low and favorable levels to ensure a healthy pricing scenario. Here we will analyse in detail the behavioral pattern of the industry and its players. We will highlight the reasons for a favorable cement pricing environment largely on the following grounds: • Behavioral patterns of various players of the industry (largely in terms of despatches and
relative movement in despatches). • Absolute cement prices Vs. absolute cement volumes (Historical trends and key
observations from these trends). • High capex commitment will mean healthy cement prices or shelving off of new
capacities. In this section, we will plot the behavioral patterns of Top Players Vs. Other Players on all‐India and Regional basis to understand the sync in overall industry’s despatch pattern which will ultimately support cement prices. In our regional study, we have also highlighted the behavioral pattern in the key states of the region. We can clearly see that, in most cases the behavior of cement companies have been favorable to a healthy pricing environment. The sync in behavioral pattern will be more visible post Oct‐09 in most cases. It is also to be noted that Cement Manufacturers’ Association (CMA) which was the representative body of the Indian Cement Industry has stopped publishing monthly production/despatch and related data from June 2012 onwards. Also many of the top cement producers of the country have opted to stop publishing monthly cement production and despatch data. Hence in all our analysis, the data considered has been until the period ending May 2012 (till the time CMA published such data). Though, the decision to not publish monthly data will make research analysis a cumbersome process, the industry is likely to remain in a safe position avoiding any allegations of cartelisation.

Industry is expected to continue tobehave maturely keeping utilisations atfavorable levels and thereby ensuring ahealthy pricing scenario. Behavioralstudy of the industry suggests industryis well capable of showcasing such anintelligent and mature behavior.
No monthly data publication fromCement Manufacturers’ Association ofIndia (CMA) and majority of the othercement manufacturers makes dataanalysis a practically impossible processthereby avoiding any allegations ofcartelisation.
The adjoining graph highlights therelative despatch movement of Top 15and other players of the industry. Thegap between the two lines indicates therelative behavior of these twocategories of players. Clearly, in orderto avoid price wars with low capacityutilisation, the sync between these twocategories of players has seen amaterial improvement which makes ussurer of a healthy pricing environment.

As demand‐supply matrix remainedfavorable in the state (till FY10), therewas no need for a sync in behaviors ofTop and Other players in the region.However, the players have showcasedtremendous sync to ensure pricingstability post FY10 as seen in theadjoining graph.
A very closely knit region as we canhardly identify lapse in behavior of theTop and the smaller players. Pricing hastherefore always remained largelystable in this region. Any unprecedenteddrop in pricing has seen an immediaterecovery.
More than proportionate increase inproduction / despatches by otherplayers led to price corrections in SouthIndia in FY10. Players have since thenshowcased phenomenal discipline toensure a stable pricing environment inthe region.

Indiscipline and deviation from sync inour opinion is the key for the price crashthis region has witnessed. The constantoverlap of despatch patterns of Top 15and Other players post this bloodbathsuggests these players have nowlearned a lesson, though the hard way.Capacity‐demand matrix in AndhraPradesh continues to remain the coreproblem of South India.
Tamil Nadu has been a relatively stablestate in terms of pricing. Looking at thesurplus scenario in Andhra Pradesh,there was no other option but to dropcapacity utilisations. The graphindicates that players are moving intandem and thereby risk of a price‐correction seems unlikely.
Karnataka is a much more consolidatedstate of South India with only 6operational players. To accommodateother regional capacities, this state hasalso seen a drop in capacity utilisations.The Top and Other players in the stateare making serious attempts to remainin tandem to ensure a risk‐free pricingenvironment.

Smaller and Other Players have beenslowly spoiling the regional discipline inthis region. We cannot see any majordeviation in the despatch pattern of theTop players here. However, we believethe smaller players will sooner or laterfall in sync with the larger players andconsolidation will also play a vital rolehere. As we can see the overalldespatch size of smaller players is nowpretty much the same as the despatchesof larger players.
The most well behaved state in EastIndia. We can hardly point out anymaterial deviations in the despatchpattern of the Top and Other players inthis state.
A fairly consolidated state with onlythree cement manufacturers (allregional / national leaders) makesbehavioral sync much easier. Hence, arisk of price war in this state remainsminimal. The Top player in Orissa (OCLIndia) has significantly increased itsmarket share supported by a four‐foldcapacity increase.

Relatively unorganized and unmatchedsync between the Top and Otherplayers, though this state also has onlythree active cement producers. Lafargeis the largest capacity in this state.
A state with a erratic behavioral syncamongst the Top and Other players. Allthe players in this state are renownedcement manufacturers. Though we cansense some serious attempts by theseplayers to fall in sync, larger players ofthe state will need to demonstrate morematurity here.
A region very similar to North India asfar as behavioral discipline is concerned.This is despite the fact that manycement channel partners and cementmanufacturers believe that all theexcess production of adjoining regions isdumped here. The sync we see in thisregion is simply commendable! Weforesee minimal price risk in this regionbased on the conduct depicted by theproducers of this region.

Though behavior of the Top players inthe state remained aggressive till midFY10, during tough times, players havenot disappointed. We can see howplayers have chosen to fall in sync witheach other, since latter half of FY10.
The adjoining graph suggests that smallplayers here move out of sync at regularintervals. We believe this is a key reasonwhy cement pricing in Central India hasremained erratic and unstable at mosttimes. Also, given the locationdisadvantage of this region (as internaltransfers may happen from acrossIndia), pricing risk is something whichcannot be avoided completely. Howeverwe believe, sooner or later the syncpattern in this region will improve.
West India is supposed to be one of themost stable markets for cement in India,as far as pricing is concerned. Playershave shown tremendous maturity intough times and whenever necessary.Like in Gujarat, in the adjoining graphwe can never see a consistent deviationin relative behavior of players.Corrective action is taken immediatelywhenever necessary.

Smaller players very clearly need todepict more discipline in this region inorder to minimize risks of pricefluctuations. The adjoining graph alsosuggests that these smaller playershave lately understood the importanceof such sync as we can see theirdespatches contracting to largermanufacturers.
Much more disciplined and well‐behaved state (as compared to MadhyaPradesh). The adjoining graph clearlysuggests that the players here are muchmore mature in their behavior andunderstand the pricing risk on deviatingfrom their sync.

Absolute Prices V/s. Absolute Volumes In order to ensure reasonable returns on investments and a healthy pricing scenario, it is important that the despatch pattern of the industry supports such an environment. As highlighted in our previous sector report, cement volumes continue to move in a manner which supports a healthy pricing environment. Although average capacity utilisation is a very important factor / indicator and prices (in a longer term) tend to move in tandem with average capacity utilisations, we have plotted the movement of average prices as against the absolute despatch volumes to figure out if the supply can be supervised in order to maintain prices: We have bifurcated the recent past into two different periods, as under: Period I (period of capacity constraint): April ’05 ‐ February ’08: This was the period when industry faced a capacity constraint and hence, production remained curtailed to the extent of maximum possible output from the available capacity. This is highlighted in Period I below. We can clearly see that average prices kept on increasing as the industry kept on producing to the best possible capacity utilisations. Period II (period of over capacity): March ’08 – May ’12 (CMA stopped publishing data post May’ 12): This period analyses the behavior of the industry as and when capacity started building up, which happened from March ‘08 onwards. It is very interesting to note and study the Period II graph below. The following are the key observations which one can make out very clearly. • Most times, whenever the prices are on a spurt, the despatch volumes were curtailed
initially in order to support the upward movement. • As and when the prices increased further, the volumes increased and the industry has
tried at most times to maximize the despatches at higher cement prices. • Most times, when the industry saw prices correcting, the volumes were also curtailed in
order to minimize its impact on profitability and put a check on the falling prices.

We observe that our examination in Period II holds significance and is largely true for all the different regions of the industry as depicted in the following graphs. Hence we remain confident of a healthy pricing scenario in the industry in the long run. However, short term and marginal blips cannot be completely ruled out as few new large players are yet to make their presence felt.

High capex makes healthy cement prices a necessity Cement manufacturers still have huge capex lined up for the next three years. Our check also makes us believe that major chunk of the said capex of 135 mn tonnes over the next three years is already committed and equipment order has also been placed for many of these upcoming capacities. The table below highlights the minimum amount of operating cash flow/tonne required by the industry to sustain the said capacity addition. Committed Capex for the Industry till FY15 Committed Capex for the Industry till FY15 FY13E FY14E FY15E

Source: PhillipCapital India Research Estimates
Weighted average EBITDA/tonne for the industry in FY12 was at Rs836 which is much lower than the required operating cash flow/tonne of Rs1,397. Hence it is obvious that more than usual delays in capacity additions, ramp‐up or even shelving off of new projects seems very likely and cannot be completely ruled out. To look it at the other way, assuming a minimum of 15% expected Return on Equity, the following table summarises the current status of the industry. We have evaluated the possible increase/decrease in cement realisation in the table below in two different scenarios. Scenario I evaluates the status of the industry as it is currently. In Scenario II, we have assumed a 15% savings in operating cost of the industry. This is based on the assumption that the new capacities of the industry are much more efficient than the old capacities.
Minimum EBITDA required by the industry Scenario – I (Current)
Scenario II ‐ Assuming 15% Saving
in Operating Cost
Minimum expected RoE 15% 15%PAT 358 358Interest Cost 477 477Depreciation 358 358EBITDA 1,192 1,192Operating Cost as in FY12 (Adjusted for CAGR of FY04‐12) 3,521 2,993Net Realisation 4,712 4,184Current Realisation 4,065 4,065Potential Upside in Realisation 16% 3%
Source: PhillipCapital India Research Estimates
From both of the above scenarios above, it comes out that the industry is not in a position to cut down on cement prices. As on date the minimum expected range for cement price hikes for the industry comes at 3‐16% YoY. In most of our estimates we have factored in a mere 5% YoY increase in cement prices.
Industry cannot afford low cementprices as its capex commitment is stillhuge. Healthy pricing is therefore anundisputed necessity.
Industry’s weighted average EBITDA(FY12) at Rs836 is much lower than theminimum required EBITDA of Rs1,397 tosustain committed capacity additions.Though capacities are committed delaysand deferrals are bound to be muchlonger / prolonged than expected. Spillover on FY14E and FY15E will result in asimilar scenario in these years therebymaking price corrections very unlikely
If the minimum RoE expectations are15% for the industry, given the currentcost structure, a 16% upside inrealisation is quite possible. Also, takingaccount of technology benefits andassuming the same RoE, price cuts areruled out.

Cement Prices Vs. Average Capacity Utilisations Traditionally capacity utilisations have always been looked upon to derive the strength of the pricing scenario. Though this argument holds true in the longer term, cement pricing in the recent past few years has not really been dependent on capacity utilisations.

Theoretically prices should move intandem with utilisations. Though thiswill hold true over the longer term, wehave seen that cement prices in shortterm are really not a function ofutilisations. Rather cement pricingbecomes more dependent on behavioralaspects of cement manufacturers.

South India Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Pondicherry, Andaman and Nicobar and Goa together comprise the South Indian Region. This region has about 55 cement plants (22 cement players) and accounts for 36% of all‐India capacity. South India will continue to remain the most uncertain, unpredictable and unfavorable region as surplus capacity remains abundant (especially Andhra Pradesh) and everything largely depends only on price discipline.

Utilisations in South India have been amatter of great concern since the lastfew years and is likely to remain so.South India is surviving today purely ona very mature player discipline. Thoughin good times this region has seen peakutilisations as high as 112% bututilisations in tough times have droppedto as low as 50%. Utilisations in thisregion are expected to remain at lowlevels for few more years and thisregion will continue to remain a bet onbehavior of players.
South India market has also seen fairamount of consolidation. Averagecapacity per player has moved up from2.09 mn tonnes p.a. to 4.81 mn tonnesp.a. while average capacity per planthas increased from 0.83 mn tonnes p.a.to 1.93 mn tonnes p.a.
Tamil Nadu is the largest consumptioncentre of South (37%) followed byAndhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala,Pondicherry & Andaman & Nicobar.

The transfers from this particular statehave remained cyclical in nature.Though at most times transfers havehappened externally (at maximum of0.45 mn tonnes p.m.), recently the statehas even accepted intakes of marginalquantities of cement. In our opinion,this state has played a role of abalancing factor as far as transfers areconcerned.
Transfers to Kerala have increased by2.3x. Kerala has been a cement deficientstate and the state has only seen inflowsof cement. However, given the size ofconsumption of this state, the size ofgrowth is not really material.
Karnataka has been a fairly self sufficientstate. Though the state has taken intakeof marginal quantities at times, the statehas remained a supplier at most times.The state supplies almost 0.5mn tonnes ofcement p.m. (at peak).

Reflecting the regional’s immaturebehavior, utilisations in East India haveremained cyclical in nature. The peakand minimum utilisations of this regionhas been at 112% and 66%, respectively.Utilisations may correct further in thisregion given the pipeline of capacityadditions. However, as players becomemore mature with consolidation in theregion, pricing risk remains fairly low.
Like other regions, this region has alsowitnessed reasonable amount ofconsolidation. Average capacity perplayer has doubled from 1.56mn tonnesp.a. to currently 3.12mn tonnes p.a.Average capacity per plant has alsoseen similar movement from 0.64mntonnes p.a. to 1.28 mn tonnes p.a.
West Bengal is the largest consumptioncentre of the region followed by Bihar,Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Assamand Meghalaya.

Inflows to state of Bihar has also seen asimilar growth of 4x from baseminimum from 0.21 mn tonnes p.m. to 0.84 mn tonnes p.m.
Inflows to state of Orissa have seen amulti‐fold growth from almost Nil (Baseminimum) to 0.32 mn tonnes p.m.
Chhattisgarh has been one of thesupplying states in East India. Supplieshave grown ~2x from 0.36 mn tonnesp.m. to ~0.79 mn tonnes p.m. Thoughthe base may be different, aninteresting point to be noted here isthat the growth in the major supplyingstate is just 2x as compared to multifoldgrowth in states taking intake.

Utilisations have remained fairly cyclicalin this region. The lowest recordedutilisation was at 61% while the peakwas at 113%. Utilisations are expectedto remain fairly favorable in this region.Thus pricing risk in this region seems tobe minimal. Infact, North and West arethe only two fundamentally very strongregions for the next couple of years.
This region is already fairlyconsolidated. Average capacity perplayer has increased from 2.4 mntonnes p.a. to 3.81 mn tonnes p.a. whileaverage per plant has moved from 1.31mn tonnes p.a. to 2.08 mn tonnes p.a.
Consumption pattern of the region isalmost the reverse of the capacity pattern.Maharashtra is ahead of Gujarat in termsof consumption by ~16%.

Consumption growth rates haveremained robust in West India and arelikely to remain so. This region hasnever suffered from consumptionproblem. Infact some of our dealerchecks suggests that West India hasbeen a dump yard for other regions.Interestingly, prices have remainedbuoyant as well at most times.
From being a almost self‐sufficientregion in 2005 the region is nowdependent on other region to the extentof almost 1.4mn tonnes p.m. This isindicative of the robust growth thisregion has seen in the past few years.
Maharashtra has always been deficientof cement. From base minimum intakeof 0.3 mn tonnes p.m., the intake hasnow increased to almost 1.3mn tonnesp.m.

Contradictorily, Gujarat being excess oncapacity has been a supplier of cementat most times. Being a coastal region, alarge chunk of export is also handledfrom Gujarat ports, though the quantityis negligible when compared to all‐Indiaconsumption. However, externaltransfers from state of Gujarat areseeing a sharp decline from 0.57mntonnes (at peak) to almost Nil (Infact attimes even Gujarat has importedcement). There can be no betterargument to support the robust growthof Gujarat.
~21 mn tonnes of new capacities areplanned in this region which is ~46% ofcurrent capacity. However, few largecapacity additions are running slow onexecution and this will be a relief to theregional capacity utilisations.Consolidation moves by cement majorsalso seems likely in this region.

Central India Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh together comprise the Central Indian Region. This region has about 21 cement plants (8 cement players) and accounts for 12% of all‐India capacity. Central India has been a relatively unstable region on pricing front despite high capacity utilisations. This is largely on account of its geographical disadvantage. Consolidation in adjoining markets is something that will help Central India getting more stable. Given the growing maturity of cement manufacturers, we do not foresee any major reason for worry for this region. In this section we will analyse various parameters of the Central India including a state wise analysis of the region. Players in Central India Markets –Capacity Share

Capacity utilisations have alwaysremained very healthy in Central Indiaas we can see in the adjoining graph.The minimum this region has touched is75% and the maximum is of 122%. Thisregion is a classic example to elaboratethe fact that though utilisations areimportant for cement pricing, it is notthe only driving force. More importantlypricing also depends on marketdynamics, behavior of cementmanufacturers and the maturity shownby them in the environment in whichthey operate. We expect more stabilityin cement pricing as players becomemore big and mature. Utilisations arelikely to remain high in this region.
Elaborating on the growingconsolidation in the Central Indiamarkets, average capacity per playershas increased from 2.75mn tonnes p.a.to 4.65 mn tonnes p.a. while averagecapacity per plant has increased from1.05mn tonnes p.a. to 1.77 mn tonnesp.a. It is to be noted exiting players inthis market have brought in morequantum of consolidation, as can beseen from the adjoining graph.
Consumption pattern of Central India isquite similar to that of the capacitydistribution. Uttar Pradesh accounts for2/3rd of the cement consumption andthe rest is consumed by MadhyaPradesh.

Consumption growth in Central Indiahas remained quite robust. This againelaborates the importance of playerdiscipline to ensure stable pricingenvironment. Prices in Central Indiahave seen fair amount of fluctuationsdespite a robust growth rate andhealthy utilisation. Consumption growthhere is likely to remain reasonably high.
Madhya Pradesh has always been onthe supplying end. Supplies haveremained almost stagnant from thisregion at ~0.7‐0.9mn tonnes p.m. Thisstagnancy is also indicative ofopportunity loss and disadvantage ofCentral India, as players, in otherregions have never really allowedplayers here to grow outside theirterritory.
This region pays the price of itsgeographic disadvantage as playersfrom all over India have the likelihoodof dumping excess production here.Central India has been a suppliersometimes while on other occasions ithas been the receiver of cement fromother regions. In other words, CentralIndia has played the role of a balancingfactor many times for its adjoiningregions and the same can be easily seenin the adjoining graph.

Contrarian to Madhya Pradesh, UttarPradesh has been always on thereceiving end. However, peak inflows toUttar Pradesh have grown by 2x (frombase minimum) from 0.6mn tonnes p.m.to 1.2mn tonnes p.m. which is indicativeof the advantage taken by players ofother regions to increase despatches tothis region. Though Central India’sgeographic disadvantage will always bea matter of concern, the growing size ofcapacities is what that brings in moreconfidence in evolving maturity of theplayers.
~45% capacity addition is likely andpossible in Central India. New entrantslike Reliance Cement are about to maketheir presence felt soon. However wefeel confident of rational behavior asthese large size new entrants are awareof the pricing gimmick. It is verydifficult, rather practically impossible tomove to Tier I pricing once a brand islaunched in Tier II category. Largeplayers and new entrants of this marketare well aware of this and it is veryunlikely that they will play the pricinggame to ensure market share. Weforesee lot of changes for better in thedynamics of the Central India markets.

ACC Ltd. Bound to lose ground – “Structural de‐rating” on the cards
CEMENT: Company Update 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
ACC Ltd. (ACC) remains fundamentally overvalued in our view and is our Top Sell in the large cap cement space. Lack of capacity additions will make it difficult for ACC to deliver any significant and material volume growth CY12E onwards. 9MCY12, ACC delivered a volume growth of mere 2.2% YoY. We have factored in a volume growth of 5.6% YoY in CY13E. Low volume growth in our view is a clear and visible barrier to ACC’s earnings potential, atleast for the next couple of years. Any delays in Jamul project will further suppress volume growth potential. We rate ACC as a Sell, as we believe there is a clear lack of visibility / strategy on the roadmap of ACC’s next phase of capacity expansion and the company is bound to consistently lose ground to other cement majors / regional leaders.
Investment Rationale • Though ACC’s despatch mix is fairly balanced across various regions of the
country (except West India), ACC’s capacity ratio in South India (to its total capacity) is the highest. South India continues to remain the most unpredictable region on account of the huge capacity surplus.
• Capacity utilisation of ACC at 83% is already way ahead of industry’s average utilisation at ~76%. No further capacity addition leaves very limited room for ACC to increase its utilisation to trigger volume growth.
• Slowly and steadily shrinking gap in premium in cement realisations to the consistently growing major UltraTech Cement. No capacity creation will ultimately lead to loss of bargaining power of ACC to its peers. We strongly believe, in a couple of years, UltraTech Cement should command the maximum premium in cement realisations vis‐à‐vis any other cement major. With lack of capacity addition, it also seems very likely that ACC will start losing its market share to its peers.
• Lack of strategy to add capacities and increased royalty payments to Holcim with idle cash on books clearly indicates limited longer term growth potential. Stock de‐rating inevitable with losing market share and muted volume growth.
Risks • Delays in announced refurbishment of Jamul plant. Our checks suggest a
considerable delay in execution of this project cannot be ruled out. The project is scheduled to take off by 1QCY15.
• Shift of focus from pricing to volumes can further deteriorate ACC’s margins and earnings.
Valuation • We believe ACC is fundamentally overvalued at CMP of Rs1,331. We have
valued ACC at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.0x on CY13E earnings. • At current market price of Rs1,331, the stock of ACC trades at 16.2x & 14.3x
P/E; 10.1x & 8.4x EV/EBITDA; 148 & 145 US$ EV/tonne on CY12E and CY13E earnings, respectively. We have assigned a mid cycle valuation multiple (7.0x EV/EBITDA on CY13E earnings) for ACC Ltd, given the low potential of ACC’s volume growth. At our price target of Rs1,142, the stock of ACC will trade at 13.9x & 12.3x P/E; 8.5x & 7.0x EV/EBITDA; 125 & 121 US$ EV/tonne on CY12E and CY13E earnings, respectively.

Low capacity creation bound to de‐rate valuations “ACC” used to be a name synonymous with cement in India and to some extent, even today it is. However, we believe this synonymy is now losing its importance as the consistently growing major – “UltraTech Cement” is a name which is over‐ruling ACC’s brand power. ACC accounts for ~10% capacity share of the country. ACC’s capacity and despatch mix on a regional basis is elaborated below: Capacity Share of ACC
North, 19%
South, 33%East, 20%
West, 13%
Central, 15%
Despatch Share of ACC
Central, 22%
Eastern, 21%
Northern, 26%
Southern, 26%
Western, 5%

ACC is at a clear risk of losing market share to its peers in the near term as the company does not seem to be in a hurry to add any new capacities. The only project announced by ACC is the refurbishment of its plant in Jamul in Chhattisgarh, East India. The project involves phasing out of the existing clinkering and grinding lines at Jamul and setting up of a new clinker line of 2.79 mn tonnes per annum and a grinding facility of +4mn tonnes per annum (includes split grinding units). The project is scheduled to be implemented in a phased manner by 1QCY2015. ACC’s peers viz. UltraTech Cement, we believe is far more aggressive in its capacity expansion plan and has a set road‐map for its next phase of expansion. Our sources also suggest us that there may be delays in refurbishment of the Jamul unit. We believe, this is clearly a material risk for ACC and if the company has to fall in line with the production discipline of the industry it cannot afford to increase its capacity utilisation significantly from current levels, unless the industry’s utilisation improve at a consolidated level.
Capacity share remains highest in southIndia; largely balanced across all otherregions of the country. Lack of strategyin capex execution will mean ACC’scapacity mix is unlikely to changematerially in foreseeable future.
Barring West India, despatch mixremains fairly balanced across all otherregions of the country. However, withno capacity expansions, overall marketshare of ACC is very likely to beimpacted negatively. Also, it is to benoted that since ACC’s despatches arefairly distributed across parts of India,the company cannot afford to goagainst the industry discipline as anysuch move is likely to have a reasonableimpact on its profitability.
“ACC” losing its synonymy to “Cement”to UltraTech Cement – A clear dangersignal to ACC!

A very well‐disciplined player on pan‐India basis as can be seen fromadjoining graph. Hence, any significantramp‐up in its overall capacityutilisation seems unlikely, unlessindustry’s overall utilisation improves.
Moving in‐line with discipline of NorthIndia by toning down its despatches tomatch with industry pattern in toughtimes.
Attempting rigorously to ensure ahealthy and disciplined behavior inSouth India. This also indicates thatthere is no scope available to ACC toramp up capacity utilisations in thisregion (ahead of the region).

Toned down to match the regionalpattern and now moving in‐line.
Though it has the lowest mix of its totaldespatches in West India, themovement of ACC’s despatches here isexactly in‐line with the regionaldiscipline. This highlights theimportance of West India to ACC,though West India may form a smallportion of ACC’s overall despatches.
ACC’s despatches in Central India havebeen aggressive. However, in times ofnecessity, it can be clearly seen that thedespatches have been toned down tomatch the regional pattern.

Our concerns are that in order to fall in line with the discipline of the industry, ACC will not be able to push its capacity utilisations materially beyond current levels. As we can clearly see from the all‐India and regional graphs above, ACC has done its best to deliver performance in line with the industry trends. Except for some variations in its despatches in South and Central India, in all the other regions (including industry as a whole), despatches of ACC have been in line with that of the industry trend. We expect ACC’s volume growth to remain lower than growth of its key peer – “UltraTech Cement” at 2.1% & 5.6% for CY12E and CY13E, respectively. Rating & Price Target Rating SELL

Valued at 7.0x EV/EBITDA. We havevalued ACC at mid cycle valuationstaking into consideration the lowvolume growth potential of thecompany. Implied target EV/tonnevaluation is at ~US$121 which is ~10‐15% discount to current replacementcost. It is also to be noted that ACC’scapacities are much older thancapacities of its peers and hence to thatextent the resources are moreexhausted at ACC Ltd.

PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Ambuja Cements Ltd. (Ambuja), another Holcim‐controlled major is fairly better placed than its sister concern – ACC Limited. With a relatively better operating structure and reasonable potential to increase volumes upto 13% YoY in CY13E, we believe Ambuja remains an attractive pick. We upgrade Ambuja to Buy with a revised price target of Rs255/‐. However, on a longer term basis, even volumes of Ambuja are at a risk of muted growth unless and until new capacities are put into operation. Ambuja is working on certain Brownfield capacity expansions apart from a Greenfield project at Marwar Mundwa, Rajasthan, North India to increase capacity by +4mn tonnes p.a. Though CY13E seems to be a smooth journey for Ambuja, volume growth for CY14E and CY15E will remain questionable.
Investment Rationale • Ambuja Cements had recently commissioned (CY11) new capacities of
~2.4mn tonnes. This provides a larger cushion for Ambuja to post a volume growth better than that of its sister concern – ACC Limited. Over 9MCY12, Ambuja has posted a volume growth of ~6% YoY (Vs. ACC’s ~2% growth).
• Ambuja’s volume growth for CY12E is likely to be in‐line with the industry trend. Greenfield planned expansion of Ambuja at Marwar‐Mundwa (District – Nagaur, Rajasthan) of +4mn tonnes p.a. (as it happens) will provide further cushion to Ambuja to increase its volume (execution likely to be faster).
• Ambuja’s regional exposure is skewed in favor of North and West India. Utilisations in North India are expected to remain +90% levels for the next few coming years. In West India, though utilisations may remain in–line with industry, prices in West India are very unlikely to see major fluctuations. West India has been one of the most stable and a firm region as far as cement pricing is concerned.
Risks • Delays in announcement of new capacities may risk Ambuja’s volume growth
in the longer term. Ambuja’s only competitive advantage Vs. ACC in near term is that – Ambuja’s capacity are newer and hence it is yet to take the full advantage of its new capacity creation.
• Losing focus to create further more capacities (post current planned expansions) will also put Ambuja Cements at similar risk of loss of market share to peers, in the longer term.
Valuation • Ambuja continues to remain attractive on CY13E earnings. We upgrade
Ambuja Cements to a BUY with a price target of Rs255/‐. • We have valued Ambuja at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 10x on CY13E earnings. • At the current market price of Rs199, the stock of Ambuja trades at 15.6x &
13.5x P/E; 9.5x & 7.5x EV/EBITDA; 182 & 165 US$ EV/tonne on CY12E and CY13E earnings, respectively. Assigned multiple is better than ACC taking into account Ambuja’s better profit margins, volume growth potential & vision / strategy at Ambuja Cements (as compared to ACC Ltd.). At our price target of Rs255, the stock will trade at 20.0x & 17.2x P/E; 12.6x & 10.0x EV/EBITDA; 241 & 220 US$ EV/tonne on CY12E and CY13E earnings, respectively.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / AMBUJA CEMENT / COMPANY UPDATE
Volume growth likely to be a positive surprise Ambuja seems to be fairly better placed than its sister concern ACC Limited. Ambuja has recently commissioned new capacities of ~2.4 mn tonnes. In a scenario of volume and price discipline, volume growth of a cement company is directly linked to the new capacity creation by the company. Moreover, capacities and despatches of Ambuja cements are more skewed towards West and North. While North India is a region with most favorable utilisations; West India is known for its rational behavior towards cement pricing and utilisations. In our view Ambuja possesses minimal threat of any set back to its earnings growth, atleast till the end of CY13E. Capacity Share of Ambuja
North, 33%
East, 21%
West, 41%
Central, 5%
Despatch Share of Ambuja
Central, 6%
Eastern, 20%
Northern, 34%
Western, 41%
Source: PhillipCapital India Research
Largely skewed capacity share in Westand North India (Two of the mostpreferred regions in the country andlikely to remain so, atleast for a coupleyears). No presence in South.
Similar despatch mix in all regions ofthe country. ~75% of despacthes inNorth & West India (Regions which arevery likely to post favorable outcomesin foreseeable future).
Volume growth upto 13% in CY13E islikely to be a positive surprise withAmbuja Cements.

Ambuja enjoys the highest brand premium Vs. peers and the same can be seen from graph above. Though, UltraTech is inching closer to ACC and Ambuja in price realisations, brand premium will help Ambuja deliver better operating margin Vs. peers, atleast in near term.

At most times, Ambuja has commanded/ continues to command the maximumpremium in cement realisations. In ourview, this along with a superior coststructure is one of the key reasons forthe valuation premium the companyhas consistently enjoyed.
A very well‐disciplined player on pan‐India basis at all given times; Moveshave been marginally higher(sometimes) than industry which webelieve, is largely on account of itsbrand premium.

Taking advantage of being amongregional leaders with strong brand;though despatches have not alwaysbeen in‐line, we can see a seriousattempt to tone down to match industrybehavior since mid 2010.
In sync with regional discipline of WestIndia at all times, West India is ofsignificant importance to Ambuja asthis company is the second largestplayer in the region; dispatching +40%of its production to this region.
East India is another region of significantimportance to Ambuja (erstwhile AmbujaCement Eastern merged with Ambuja inearly May 2006). This is one of the bestsync patterns one can observe in anyregion.

Central India has been a fairly newterritory for Ambuja, where alsoAmbuja is making serious attempts tofall in‐line with regional discipline.
We have valued Ambuja Cements at10.0x EV/EBITDA multiple on CY13Eearnings. We believe, Ambuja Cementsdeserves a much better multiple thanACC, given Ambuja’s favorable capacitymix across regions and better profitmargins. No exposure to South India isthe biggest advantage to AmbujaCements. At our price target the stockwill trade at US$ 220/tonne.

UltraTech Cement Entering a league where none of the peers will possibly reach
CEMENT: Company Update 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
UltraTech Cement (UltraTech), pan‐India cement major is our top large cap pick in the sector. UltraTech’s aggression in capacity creation (highest in sector) and vision to strengthen its footprint across markets is clearly visible and will be the key reason to trigger its growth. Realisation gap between UltraTech and price leaders (ACC and Ambuja) has also seen a diminishing trend. We strongly believe UltraTech’s emergence as a sector leader will distinctly surpass all other majors, thereby further re‐rating stock valuations. Investment Rationale • UltraTech is the only cement major with a defined road map to increase its
capacity share and has planned the largest quantum of expansion amongst all cement players (~12% of total expansions from FY12‐15E), with a clear vision to increase market share across regions. Resultantly, UltraTech’s volume growth is bound to be higher than peers. With an aim to protect market share (rather grow market share consistently), UltraTech has laid a clear vision of adding a minimum of 5mn tonnes p.a. of capacities every year. This vision is clearly lacking in other cement majors
• White cement business, putty and RMX business will remain additional strengths on the overall product offering. UltraTech is equally focused on all of its other business segments to enable it to emerge as the business leader across all segments of its product offering.
• Capacity creation is becoming a more tedious task with bottlenecks of clearances, land acquisitions and lack of mining leases. Capacities are bound to re‐rate further as capital costs turn expensive with scarce resources. Being the largest capacity in the cement industry with a significant gap to second in size (~30mn tonnes), UltraTech is bound to consistently command highest premium in valuations.
Risks • Delays in capex execution. • Deployment of funds in expensive acquisitions, if any. UltraTech has clearly
indicated that it will continue to evaluate rational inorganic acquisition opportunities, if any. Complete management control is one of the key considerations for UltraTech to pursue any inorganic growth opportunities.
Valuation • We have valued UltraTech at 12x EV/EBITDA on FY14E earnings (~20%
premium to nearest growing competitor – Ambuja Cement). • It is to be noted that UltraTech’s capacities are newer as compared to
capacities of other cement majors (oldest capacity of UltraTech was commissioned in 1982). This also means that the resources required to support the capacity are relatively far less unexplored as compared to others.
• At the current market price of Rs1,918, the stock trades at 18.2x & 14.8x P/E; 11.8x & 8.7x EV/EBITDA; 208 & 176 US$ EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively. At target price of Rs2,727, the stock will trade at 25.9x & 21.1x P/E; 16.1x & 12.0x EV/EBITDA; 285 & 243 US$ EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively.

No stoppage in capacity creation; clear market leader UltraTech Cement (UltraTech) is the largest capacity of grey cement in the country with an installed capacity of 48.8 mn tonnes p.a. (16% of Pan‐India Capacity). It is the only cement major with a clear and defined roadmap towards its next phase of capacity expansion, capitalizing on every possible opportunity. Of the total planned expansions of ~135mn tonnes in the country, 12% is by UltraTech (highest in the sector). While all the other majors are bound to lose market share with low capacity expansions, UltraTech is the only major whose vision to grow in‐line with market will help it maintain its capacity share despite all of the 134 mn tonnes of expansions coming in force. In other words, in the longer, UltraTech remains the only potential cement major to deliver a long term average growth in tandem with the industry growth and lack of capacity is not likely to be a concern for the company at any given point of time. Diminishing gap in Grey Cement realisation of UltraTech Vs. ACC and Ambuja:

UltraTech Ambuja Cement ACC

Ambuja Cements and ACC Limited have consistently commanded and still command a premium in cement realisation vis‐à‐vis other players in the industry. However, in the recent past, the gap between realisations of Ambuja Cements, ACC Limited and UltraTech has seen a diminishing trend as seen in the graph above. While ACC Limited and Ambuja Cements are at a risk of limited volume growth on account of capacity constraints, the same is not likely to be the case with UltraTech. With realisation gap diminishing and volumes increasing, UltraTech is very likely to deliver relatively much higher growth than its peers on a sustainable basis in the longer term. Volume growth of UltraTech is expected to be at ~11% for FY14E and this growth rate is unlikely to slow down given the pipeline of capacity creation at UltraTech.
Realisations of UltraTech are movingcloser to that of its closest peers (viz.ACC ltd. and Ambuja Cements Ltd). Westrongly believe with increasingcapacity and strong footholds acrossthe country, very soon UltraTech maycommand a premium in realisations tomost of its peers.
UltraTech’s Vision: Add minimum of5mn tonnes p.a. of new capacity everyyear; 12% of new capacity creation inthe country is going to be by UltraTechCement.
Volumes likely to grow by ~11% inFY14E. Volume growth is unlikely totone down given the pipeline ofcapacities to be added.

Like peers (ACC Ltd. and AmbujaCements), a very well‐disciplined playeron pan‐India basis, largely moving insync with industry.
Aggressively increasing despatches inNorth India and also making sure itmoves in sync with the regional trend intimes of need.
Outstandingly following the regionalsync since the time South India hasrecovered from the bloodbath. Largeplayers like UltraTech play thebalancing force to ensure that pricingdiscipline remains intact as they havemuch larger investments at stake.

Moving completely in sync with theregional pattern in West India.UltraTech is the leading manufacturerin this region (28% share) and hencealso the trendsetter.

We have valued UltraTech Cement at anEV/EBITDA multiple of 12.0x on FY12earnings. We strongly believe,UltraTech Cement’s set roadmap forcapacity growth will result incontinuous re‐rating of its valuationmultiples. Our target multiple impliesan EV/tonne of US$243/tonne.UltraTech Cement in our opinion is setto enter a league which will bepractically impossible to catch up withfor any of its closest peer. Further re‐rating of stock valuations remainsinevitable with a minimum of 5mntonnes capacity addition (~10% oncurrent base) every year.

Shree Cement Hungry North Indian
CEMENT: Company Update 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Shree Cement Limited (SCL) is the leading cement producer of North India with an installed capacity of ~13.5mn tonnes p.a. (1/5th capacity share). They have now also diversified into power with ~400MWs of power capacity available for merchant sale. SCL remains amongst the most effective cost producer of cement with a consistently high EBITDA/tonne (Rs1,087 in cement business since FY05). This company has seen the most aggressive capacity expansion in entire North India region. Installed capacity has grown at a CAGR of ~27% between FY04‐FY11 at existing operations. SCL’s cement plant at Ras is the only cement plant globally to have six clinker lines at the same location, adding two further lines to take the count to eight. SCL is very likely to continue to maintain its leadership position comfortably in North India. SCL remains a preferred North‐Indian pick. Investment Rationale • Most cost effective producer of cement in North India with an average
EBITDA margin of 33% since FY05 (EBITDA/tonne of Rs1,087). • Business model still largely dependent on cement. Power likely to contribute
only 8‐10% of EBITDA in FY14E earnings. • Further strengthening its footprints in North India with two more clinker lines
at its existing site at Ras of 2mn tonnes each. We expect these clinker capacities to be operational by end of 2QFY14.
• SCL will address the risk of concentration of capacities at one location very shortly. SCL is in final stages of completing its pre‐project activities and will shortly announce its firm plans of an integrated Greenfield expansion in Chhattisgarh and grinding unit in state of Bihar. Karnataka is another state where SCL may go ahead with a Greenfield expansion and make an entry in South India.
Risks • Large concentration of capacities at single location in North India (distance
between Beawar and Ras units being insignificant). SCL’s regional exposure is skewed to North currently and is likely to remain so for next couple of years.
• Though, power sale volumes are likely to grow by ~65% at ~2.2bn units in FY13E, no major volume growth can be expected in power segment in FY14E. With increasing availability of power, EBITDA/unit in this segment remains at a risk of contraction. We expect SCL to deliver an EBITDA/unit of ~0.71 paise and 0.75 paise in FY13E and FY14E, respectively.
• Delays in capex announcement in East & South India will be a potential threat to the overall volume growth of SCL, in the longer term.
Valuation • We have valued SCL at EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.0x and 6.0x on FY14E cement
and power earnings, respectively. Considering the leadership position of SCL in North India and favorable outlook for capacity utilisations of the region, we believe this multiple is fair.
• At CMP the stock of Shree Cement trades at 19.9x & 13.5x P/E, 11.0x & 8.1x EV/EBITDA and US$ 214 & 196 EV/tonne on FY13E & FY14E earnings, respectively. Our target price implies target valuation of US$204 FY14E.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / SHREE CEMENT / COMPANY UPDATE
The master of capex execution has not finished yet… Shree Cement Limited (SCL) is the largest capacity in North India with a capacity of 13.5 mn tonnes p.a. (~20% of North India). SCL remains a master of execution and a leader in technology improvements in manufacturing process of cement. SCL has also ventured into power segment by installing two mega power plants at Shree Mega Power of 150 MWs each. They are now setting up two more clinker lines with the existing six lines at the Ras unit. This unit of SCL stands up for its unique identity of six clinker lines in one location, one of its kinds in the world. Going forward, SCL is expected to set up a grinding unit in Bihar and an integrated plant in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. Though, no formal announcements have yet been made on the Karnataka plans of SCL, they are in final stages of completing their pre‐project activities at these sites. We believe, these capacities may pop up in the next 3‐4 years of time span. The two new clinker lines at Ras (Unit No. 9 and 10) totaling to 4 mn tonnes p.a. of clinker capacities is likely to be operational by 2QFY14. Revenue Contribution from Cement & Power

Except for FY11 when Shree Cement’scement volume remained flat YoY, thiscompany has never recorded lower thandouble digit YoY volume growth (SinceFY04, time when it started itsaggressive and consistent capex plans).Volumes are likely to continue to recorddouble digit growth rates in FY13E andFY14E. A classic example of howconsistent capex can trigger volumegrowth.
Shree Cement has clearly followed adespatch pattern in‐line with thedespatches of North India. ShreeCement is amongst the largest capacityof North India and largely all of itsproduce is sold in this region. ShreeCement therefore cannot afford to goagainst the regional discipline of Northand the same is clearly visible in theadjoining graph.
All of the clinker production and majorchunk of the cement capacities arelocated in Rajasthan itself. At any givenpoint of time, Shree Cement has notincreased its productiondisproportionate to the production byother players in the state. Shree Cementhas been a clear discipline follower inthis state. Infact in tough times, ShreeCement has played a crucial role bykeeping its production under check toensure a healthy and disciplinedregional scenario.

The India Cements A very patient South Indian!
CEMENT: Company Update 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
The India Cements Limited (ICL) is the largest cement manufacturer in South India with ~12% capacity share. The company had recently forayed in the North Indian markets with setup of a 1.8mn tonne capacity in Rajasthan. ICL is also the owner of the Chennai Super Kings Team in The Indian Premier League. In our view, ICL has inherent strengths of delivering outstanding operating performances and we believe the stock is grossly undervalued currently, given the size of its capacity. Investment Rationale • Largest capacity in South India with a very well disciplined approach to
regional equilibrium. • Exploring and evaluating Brownfield expansion opportunities. Though
expansions will not make much sense immediately, but will certainly help as and when demand moves closer to capacity in South India. ICL is also looking forward to expansions in East India and a second production line at its existing plant in Rajasthan, as well.
• Commissioning of both captive power plants of ~50MWs each along with the existing tied up power supplies will make ICL largely self dependent for power requirements. ICL will have a consolidated power capacity close to 170Mws post commissioning of its 50MW power plant in Andhra Pradesh by end of FY13E (Tamil Nadu 50MW already commissioned).
• Mining operations at Indonesia have been commenced and shipments are likely 4QFY13E onwards. ICL had earlier indicated a savings of US$15‐20/tonne of coal, the Indonesian operations begin full swing production.
• Given no further incremental capex is announced, ICL debt levels are likely to start correcting from FY14E onwards. Net Debt:Equity likely to correct from 0.63x in FY13E to 0.44x by end of FY14E.
Risks • No immediate trigger for volume growth in ICL. Earnings growth will remain
largely dependent on cement prices and cost savings. Volume growth is unlikely to be more than 6% YoY for FY13E and FY14E.
• Delays in commissioning of power plants / coal shipment arrival from Indonesia.
• No further capex announcement at an appropriate time may hamper the volume growth in longer term, especially when South India turns favorable.
Valuations • We have valued ICL at 5.5x EV/EBITDA. Given the fact that ICL is the largest
capacity of South India and taking into account the current disciplined approach of South Indian players, we believe this is a fair target multiple.
• At CMP of Rs88, the stock of ICL trades at 8.6x and 6.1x P/E, 5.6x and 4.3x EV/EBITDA and US$ 62 & 57 on FY13E and FY14E, respectively. At our price target of Rs 131, the stock of ICL will trade at 12.7x & 9.0x P/E, 7.0x & 5.5x EV/EBITDA and US$ 78 and 74 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively. Our target valuations still imply a 50% discount to replacement cost. ICL is likely to gain the maximum, as and when South India recovers.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / THE INDIA CEMENTS / COMPANY UPDATE
Awaiting good times… The India Cements Ltd. (ICL) is the largest capacity in South India (12% of South India’s total capacity). Recently, ICL also forayed in North Indian markets with a 1.8mn tonne p.a. capacity in Rajasthan (~3% of North India’s total capacity). ICL is also the owner of the Chennai Super Kings Team in The Indian Premier League. ICL has been consistently operating at low capacity utilisations as demand growth in South India remains subdued. Being the largest capacity in South India, ICL cannot afford to go against the regional capacity utilisations at it can significantly hamper the overall pricing discipline. Expecting good times to return back to South India in a couple of years, ICL is in the process of exploring further capacity additions with Brownfield expansion at its existing plants in South. Though it is very unlikely that ICL will increase volumes by going against the regional discipline of the region, ICL does not want to miss out on any volume growth opportunities as and when the utilisation in this region improves. Resultantly, it is exploring Brownfield expansion opportunities in South India. ICL is also putting efforts to get approvals / acquire land to expand its Rajasthan capacity with a similar second line. Behavior of India Cements All India

Largest capacity of South Indiaaccounting for 12% share of this region.
Currently exploring Brownfieldopportunities in South India. Efforts arealso in place for an expansion of secondline at Rajasthan plant.
India Cements has clearly made seriousefforts to ensure a healthy pricingscenario in South India. We can clearlymake out the disproportionate cut indespatches of India Cements vis‐à‐visindustry’s despatches in the adjoininggraph. Though this has impactednegatively to India Cements in nearterm, we strongly believe ICL will get itscompensation as and when thesituation improves in South.
India Cements capacities are largelyskewed in South India. Though pan‐India comparison Vs. India Cementsmay not make much sense, still we canclearly make out that the company haslargely followed the industry’s overallvolume discipline.

Andhra Pradesh has been the biggestdisappointment for India with the smallplayers distorting the market stabilityat regular intervals. India Cements hasshown tremendous maturity with itsrational behavior as can be seen fromthe adjoining graph. This to a largeextent ensured minimization of pricingdistortion. Scope for improvement inutilisations here remains multifold asand when the scenario turns around.
In North India, India Cements has notbeen able to establish sync with theoverall despatches yet. It is to be notedthat capacity of India Cements isrelatively new and very small ascompared to the overall capacity baseof North India (~2.7% of North Indiancapacity). However, we do believe indue course of time despatches of IndiaCements in this region will also fall in‐line with the overall despatches.
Like other states, India Cement’sdespatches in Tamil Nadu have also notseen moving disproportionate to thedespatches of the state. India Cementshas clearly maintained a muchdisciplined pattern of despatches andeven sacrificed market share to otherplayers in order to ensure a healthydemand‐supply matrix.

Comparing only Rajasthan todespatches of India Cements in NorthIndia will also not make muchdifference. The despatch patterns ofIndia Cements vs. Rajasthan and NorthIndia are almost similar and so are thearguments. It is to be noted thatRajasthan is the largest capacity ofNorth India accounting for 66% of NorthIndia’s capacity (~15% of All IndiaCapacity).
We have valued India Cements at 5.5xEV/EBITDA multiple on FY14E earnings.We believe, the multiple is quitereasonable given the size of capacity ofIndia Cements and its adherence toregional discipline of South India.

Mangalam Cement Changing gears to deliver performance!
CEMENT: Company Update 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Mangalam Cement (MGC) is one of the small cement capacities (2mn tonnes p.a.; ~3% of North India’s capacity) based out of Rajasthan, North India. The company is set to increase its capacity by ~63% by end of 1HFY14E. With this expansion in place, double digit volume growth becomes obvious in FY14E and FY15E. MGC, in our view remains an attractive buy opportunity in small cap cement. There is also a bright possibility of re‐rating in stock valuations with capacity increase. Investment Rationale • Volume growth to trigger from FY13E onwards. FY13E and FY14E volumes
likely to grow by 14% YoY, each year. Volume trigger can be much higher in FY15E, as capex of MGC is likely to be completed by mid FY14E.
• Usage of pet coke in kiln operations of MGC has significantly reduced the consumption of high grade limestone from 16% to ~8‐9% thereby resulting in significant cost savings. Raw material cost/tonne for MGC has seen a reduction of 18% YoY in FY12.
• Usage of pet coke in its fuel mix (Since October 2011) has also enable MGC to improve the quality of its clinker production. Resultantly, MGC has been able to blend higher quantity of fly‐ash and increase its overall volumes. Blending ratio for MGC increased dramatically in FY12 to 1.33x (1.18x in FY11). We expect blending for MGC to slowly stabilize at +1.26x.
• MGC is relatively calm and a considerably conservative player compared to other cement manufacturers. MGC has been scouting for sites and evaluating capacity expansions for long duration of time (nearly 2‐3 years) before it finally announced the expansion at its existing site. Being a small capacity MGC is very unlikely to compromise on volumes to ensure a healthy regional pricing environment.
Risks • Pet coke has been a new fuel to the kilns of MGC. Though, MGC has been
largely successful in usage of pet coke as a fuel input, the sustainability and long term success of this business model is yet to be seen and felt with MGC.
• Any delays in capacity expansion / project execution will eventually hamper the volume growth of MGC.
• Conservative approach to capacity expansion may be a longer term risk to the existing market share of MGC in its current markets.
Valuations • We have valued MGC at 4.0x EV/EBITDA on FY14E earnings. We believe,
given the size of capacity of MGC and low risks in its business profile, the target valuation multiple is justified. We also believe, as and when MGC’s expansion stabilizes a marginal re‐rating of stock valuations is very likely. Depending on operational performance of MGC and its consistency (post expansion), further re‐rating of stock valuations cannot be ruled out.
• At the current price of Rs155, MGC trades at 4.5x and 3.8x P/E, 3.8x and 3.3x EV/EBITDA and US$ 60 & 48 on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively. At our price target of Rs217, MGC will trade at 6.3x and 5.4x P/E, 4.7x and 4.0x EV/EBITDA and US$ 75 & 58 on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / MANGALAM CEMENT / COMPANY UPDATE
Addressing bottlenecks… Mangalam Cement (MGC) is a small capacity in Rajasthan (2 mn tonnes p.a.; ~3% of North India capacity) and is all set to increase its capacity by 63% by mid FY14E. Double digit volume growth with this capacity expansion becomes inevitable with MGC and we expect, MGC will comfortably post a volume growth of +14% in FY13E and FY14E, each. MGC is currently undergoing a clinker capacity expansion by 0.5mn tonnes in its existing clinker lines (expansion of 1500TPD across two lines) and is also setting up a new grinding unit of 1.2mn tonnes p.a. at its existing site. This project is being executed at a capex of Rs4.75bn (Targeted Debt at Rs3bn). FY13E estimated spend is at Rs3bn and rest over FY14E. The expanded capacity of MGC will be at 3.2 mn tonnes p.a. Since October 2011, MGC has started using pet coke in kiln operations. This had an immediate impact of reduction of fuel consumption in kiln operations (pet coke consumption reduced from 17.5% to 10% in Unit I and from 14.9% to 9% in Unit II) and also reduced the consumption of high grade limestone which is used as a sweetener to raw meal (Consumption reduced from 15% to 5% in Unit I and from 15.33% to 7.39% in Unit II). This is clearly also evident in the reducing raw material cost of MGC in FY12 (raw material cost/tonne declined by 18% YoY). Moreover this also helped MGC to increase their fly ash blending which ultimately helped volumes. Increase in blending at MGC

We strongly believe, these steps taken by MGC will help address its inherent bottlenecks and significantly improve and stabilize its cost structure. We expect MGC to post an EBITDA of Rs1,020/tonne in FY14E. MGC has already registered an EBITDA of Rs792/tonne in 1HFY13E. With volume growth and improvement in efficiencies, we believe, MGC is surely capable of crossing the Rs1,000/tonne EBITDA mark in FY14E.
Double digit volume growth on thecards, expect an easy growth of +14% involumes in FY13E and FY14E,respectively.
Substitution of fuel from coal to petcoke has resulted in significantimprovement of operational efficienciesas well the blending ratio.
Blending ratio has shot up to industryaverage levels of +1.30x; this issomething which Mangalam Cementwas looking forward to since very long.
EBITDA/tonne likely to touch theRs1,000/tonne mark as operationalefficiencies improve coupled withvolume growth.

Small capacities like Mangalam Cementlargely remain independent of theregional despatch pattern. As seen inthe adjoining graph, it seems verydifficult to establish a sync patternbetween despatches of MangalamCement and the North Indian industry.
Similarly in Rajasthan, sync betweenMangalam Cement’s despatch and theoverall despatch is not clearly visible.This is to reiterate that smallercompanies like MGC have the liberty tofunction independent of the industry.
We have valued Mangalam Cement at4.0x EV/EBITDA. We believe thismultiple is quite fair given the size of itscapacity, reasonably low risk profile ofmarkets to which it caters, itsindifferent approach towards industry’sdiscipline and potential of robustvolume growth.

Dalmia Bharat Limited A mid‐cap gem!
CEMENT: Company Update 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Dalmia Bharat Ltd. (DBL), in our opinion is a mid‐cap visionary moving courageously, growing organically and inorganically to ensure a growth rate faster than the industry and emerge as one of the leading cement manufacturers of the country. Though, the exposure of the group is largely skewed to slow growing markets of the country (South and East India), strong and firm cement prices coupled with aggressive volume growth will trigger earnings in the next couple of years very strongly. Investment Rationale • Executing four distinct ventures simultaneously ‐ Inorganic growth in North
East India and Greenfield expansion in Karnataka (apart from a Grinding project undertaken by OCL) clearly is an indication of the aggression with which the group wants to increase its market share. The group has climbed the ladder from 17th position in FY06 to 5th position currently. Going forward, the next aspiration of DBL is to be “pan‐India cement major”.
• Significant scope available for volume growth which can ultimately trigger the earnings. Capacities of DBL (including OCL) operated at less than 60% capacity utilisations in FY12.
• Being the oldest cement manufacturer in the country, DBL enjoys a very strong brand recall in most of the regions it caters to (especially Tamil Nadu). This ultimately leads to a strong brand premium for DBL vis‐à‐vis other brands. DBL is also evaluating a brand repositioning strategy and is geared up to create a unified brand identity across markets of the country. This will certainly help DBL in garnering premium in their cement realisations.
• DBL’s expansions seems to be more well defined structured expansions Vs. peers, as most of the incremental capacities of DBL will cater to markets where DBL is already present (directly or indirectly).
• We believe, DBL is clearly following a road‐map resembling to a road‐map which UltraTech Cement has adopted to ensure an undisputed growth. Re‐rating in DBL’s valuations seems inevitable given that the execution of its growth strategy is met with perfection.
Risks • DBL has its capacity skewed in South and East India. Both these regions are at
a risk of lower utilisations in FY13E & FY14E. Hence, DBL has to be very cautious while it increases its capacity utilisations to ensure price stability.
• Delays in project execution. Valuation • We have valued DBL at 5.0x EV/EBITDA on FY14E earnings. We believe, the
assigned multiple is reasonable considering DBL’s current regional exposure, potential of volume growth in longer term and its steady aggression and hunger for new capacities.
• At CMP the stock trades at 5.1x & 3.3x P/E, 5.5x& 4.0x EV/EVITDA and US$ 52 & 53 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively. At our price target of Rs294, the stock will trade at 8.2x & 5.4x P/E, 6.9x & 5.0x EV/EBITDA & US$64 & 65 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / DALMIA BHARAT / COMPANY UPDATE
The next emerging major & “Committed to capex” Dalmia Bharat Limited (DBEL) is all set to emerge as the next cement major with acquisitions of Calcom and Adhunik Cement in North‐East India and execution of organic growth options in Karnataka and West Bengal (by its associate OCL India Ltd. (OCL)) DBL is the holding company of the cement division (Dalmia Cement Bharat Limited (DCBL)) of Dalmia Group. The group enjoys the legacy of being the oldest cement manufacturer in the country. DCBL owns 45% stake in another group company viz. OCL – a leading cement manufacturer in East India. Dalmia Power Ltd. – power venture of Dalmia Group catering to power requirement of South Indian cement plants of the group is a 100% subsidiary of DBL Inorganic growth Since January 2012 DCBL has announced two major acquisitions. In January 2012, DCBL agreed to enter in a joint venture and buy a 50% stake in North East based Calcom Cement for a consideration of Rs2.38bn. This was the first significant inorganic growth initiative by DCBL. Calcom is a manufacturer of both OPC and PPC and is catering to the North East markets. It has a current installed capacity of 1.3mn tonne p.a. grinding and another grinding of unit of 0.85mn tonnes p.a. is under execution. The clinker unit of the company to support the current and additional grinding is likely to be commissioned in the next 18 months. The expanded installed capacity of the company will stand at 2.1mn tonnes p.a. DCBL has recently increased its stake in Calcom to a controlling stake (~76%) resulting in complete management control in Calcom Cement In October 2012, DCBL agreed to acquire 100% stake in Meghalaya based Adhunik Cement Ltd. (ACL) for an Enterprise Value of Rs10.85bn (Equity Value – Rs5.6bn; Debt – Rs5.25bn). ACL enjoys 10% market share in North East India. It has an integrated cement capacity of 1.5mn tonnes p.a. supported by 25MW Captive Power Plant (Commissioned in August 2010; ACL was conceptualized as a strategic partnership between Kolkata based Adhunik and MSP group). Organic Growth DCBL through its 100% subsidiary Dalmia Cement Ventures Limited (DCVL) has plans to execute Greenfield projects. DCVL has already announced a Greenfield project of 2.5mn tonnes p.a. at Belgaum, Karnataka. The estimated capex for the project is at ~Rs13bn and is likely to be executed by end of 1HFY15. In its associate company OCL (45% stake), a East India cement major producing Slag based cement, a grinding unit of 1.35 mn tonnes p.a. is being set up at Medinipur, West Bengal. This project is likely to be completed by January 2014 and is being setup at an estimated capex of ~Rs5.5bn (including infrastructure support facilities).
All set to emerge as the next cementmajor and awaiting its entry to the TierI league of cement manufacturers.
Two inorganic acquisitions in North EastIndia will firm up Dalmia Bharat’s EastIndia footprints. DBL is all set to be thelargest capacity in North East India withlaunch of Dalmia Brand.
Dalmia Bharat remains equally focusedand committed towards organicgrowth. Three distinct expansionprojects (including expansion at Calcom)are being executed simultaneously.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / DALMIA BHARAT / COMPANY UPDATE
Volume growth to trigger DBL’s earnings DBL’s South India production volumes have seen a growth of 15% in FY12 with less than 60% capacity utilisation. We believe, with inorganic acquisitions in North East India, DBL is all set to a strong volume growth in excess of 25% YoY. DBL increased its capacity from 4mntpa to 9mntpa in FY10 in South India. Since FY10, DBL has delivered 15% for two consecutive years (an incremental of 1.31 mn tonnes over FY10‐12). With North East acquisitions and marginal improvement in capacity utilisations in South India, volume growth much higher than industry will be a cakewalk for DBL. DBL currently has three cement plants in South India. Out of these three plants, two plants are based in Tamil Nadu (Dalmiapuram (4.0mn tonnes p.a.) and Ariyalur (2.5mn tonnes p.a.)) and one in Andhra Pradesh (Kadapa (2.5mn tonnes)). Dalmiapuram remains the oldest plant of Dalmia Cement, rather the oldest plant in the country. Both of the other plants (Ariyalur and Kadapa) have been commissioned in early 2009. In South India, where major portion of DBL’s current operations are located, the core markets include states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, AP, and Karnataka. In most of these core markets, DBL has delivered higher than market growth in FY12 as illustrated below: Growth Rates: Dalmia Bharat Vs. Key States in South India / Region

Robust growth (+25%) for DalmiaBharat’s cement volumes is certaingiven the aggressive organic andinorganic growth initiatives.
DBL has proven record of being capableto deliver volume growth higher thanthe market demand growth.
From very robust utilisations in FY06,DBL has toned down its utilisations tostate average of Tamil Nadu. Since FY10when new capex in Tamil Nadu wascommissioned utilisations of DBL haveimproved by mere ~9%. Though scopefor improvement in this state remainslimited (considering the average stateutilisations), it is likely that DBL willfurther increase utilisations in this stateby ~5% in phased manner in FY14E andFY15E, each.
Dalmia Bharat’s Dalmiapuram plantenjoys the legacy of being the oldestcement plant in the country.

Gap in capacity utilisations of DBL andaverage state utilisations in AndhraPradesh suggest significant scope ofimprovement of capacity utilisation forDBL in this state. For DBL as a whole(excluding OCL), our estimates factor ina 10% increase in clinker capacityutilisation and 7% increase in cementcapacity utilisation in FY14E, and webelieve, its easily achievable.
Dalmia Bharat has been a muchdisciplined player in the South Indiancement industry. The recent more thanproportionate increase in despatches ofDalmia Bharat has been largely onaccount of multifold capacity increase(~3x) since FY08.
Tamil Nadu is a State where DalmiaCement has the strongest recallamongst its consumers. Resultantly thisregion becomes of utmost importanceto Dalmia Bharat and hence in ouropinion Dalmia Bharat cannot afford togo against the regional discipline of thestate at any time.

Dalmia Bharat made its capacity debutin Andhra Pradesh only in FY10. Thoughthe despatch pattern has not been in acomplete sync yet, we can sense thatthe company has been making rigorousattempts to not to increase itsdespatches more than proportionate todespatches of peers in the region.
We have valued Dalmia Bharat at 5.0xEV/EBITDA on FY14E earnings. Westrongly believe, given the company’sstrong commitment of creatingcapacities will make it enter the Tier Ileague of cement manufacturers. Wefirmly believe valuation re‐rating isimminent for the stock with growingcapacity base. Brand repositioningstrategy will be an added advantage toDBL earnings and resultantly a supportto stock valuation multiples.

OCL India Volume growth to re‐define company potential
CEMENT: Initiating Coverage 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
OCL India Limited (OCL) is an East Indian leader and an associate company (~45% stake) of Dalmia Cement Bharat Limited (DCBL; ~85% stake of DCBL held by Dalmia Bharat Limited (DBL)). OCL is largely a slag based cement producer with a total production capacity of 5.35mn tonnes p.a. of cement (~12% of East India capacity). Investment Rationale • Restoration of normal mining operations in OCL will rationalize the cost
structure. On back of fairly strong cement pricing, EBITDA/tonne is likely to improve by +70% YoY in FY13E.
• A very high blending ratio on account of largely slag cement production gives competitive advantage to OCL vs. peers. Average blending ratio of OCL since FY06 works out at ~2.20. OCL sources its slag requirements from SAIL’s Rourkela steel plant, Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited’s Vizag steel plant and JSW’s steel plant in South India.
• Grinding expansion at Medinipur of 1.35 mn tonnes p.a. (Scheduled to be operational by June 2014; actual commissioning might be much earlier than that), West Bengal will provide a volume trigger to OCL. OCL currently has a clinker capacity of ~2.9mn tonnes p.a. Even at 2.0x blending ratio and full clinker capacity utilisation, OCL can comfortably produce ~5.8mn tonnes of cement p.a. (a potential volume growth of 84% vs. volumes delivered in FY12).
• DBL has recently made two significant acquisitions in North‐East India (~2.5mn tonnes p.a. of current capacity; being expanded by further 0.9mn tonnes p.a.). These acquisitions are likely to further strengthen the group’s overall footage in East India and thereby the bargaining power of OCL.
• Commissioning of 54MWs of power capacities in OCL makes OCL self‐sufficient for its power requirements. Though no significant savings may be expected on per unit basis, it will make OCL more confident of scaling up its volume smoothly and efficiently.
Risks • Any barrier reinforced for mining activities / inability to mine adequate
limestone to support volume growth. • Delays in commissioning of grinding expansion. • Lack of integration with DBL’s operation in East India (Distribution network /
marketing / branding etc.). Valuation • We have valued OCL at 4.0x EV/EBITDA on FY14E earnings. Given OCL’s large
chunk of capacity share in East India (5th largest on standalone basis), high blending ratio and its potential for a high volume growth, OCL’s valuation are very likely to trigger to better levels.
• At CMP, the stock trades at 5.3x & 3.4x P/E, 3.2x & 2.6x EV/EBITDA & US$ 44 & 43 EV/tonne on FY13E & FY14E earnings, respectively. At our price target of Rs283, the stock will trade at 10.1x & 6.5x P/E, 5.0x & 4.0x EV/EBITDA & US$ 69 & 64 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively.

Poised for volume growth with improving efficiencies OCL India is poised for an aggressive volume growth FY14E onwards. Volumes took a hit in latter half of FY12E on account of regulatory restrictions imposed by the State Government of Odisha. These restrictions are now withdrawn and the company is all set for an aggressive volume growth FY14E onwards. Except for FY12, since the time OCL increased its capacity in FY09, OCL has delivered volume growth of ~12‐13% for two consecutive years (FY10 & FY11). We have factored in volume growth of ~14% and 12% in FY13E and FY14E, respectively (Absolute volumes of 3.58 and 4.03 mn tonnes in FY13E and FY14, respectively). Volumes (Mn Tonnes) & Volume Growth

OCL India’s blending ratio is on a very high side (~2.0x Clinker), as it is a largely slag based cement producer. OCL India has its long term slag procurement contracts in place. Infact, the grinding expansion at Medinipur in West Bengal is also a slag based grinding unit with a capacity of 1.35mn tonnes p.a. and expected to go operational before end of June 2014. OCL currently has a clinker capacity of 2.91 mn tonnes p.a. At 2.0x blending, the clinker volumes can easily support volumes upto 5.8mn tonnes p.a. At 5.8mn tonnes of cement production in FY16E, OCL volumes will report a CAGR of 16% p.a. which will undoubtedbly be signifcantly higher than the industry’s volume CAGR. Blending Ratio of OCL

Being a slag based cementmanufacturer, OCL’s blending ratio ismuch higher than industry standrd of~1.3x. Average blending of OCL is at~2.2x (FY06‐11) and this gives OCL aclear competitive advantage over peers.
Volume CAGR of OCL will remaindistinctly robust at ~16% between FY12‐16E and much higher than Industry’sCAGR. This is one of the key reasonswhy we believe OCL deserves betterstock valuations.
Restoration of mining operationsaddresses volume concerns. Volumegrowth expected to remain robust inFY13E and FY14E. OCL remainsconfident of delivering volumes of +4mntonnes in FY14E.
Except for FY12, since the time OCLincreased its capacity in FY09, OCL hasdelivered volume growth of ~13% for twoconsecutive years. Our estimates factor ina volume growth of 14% and 12% in FY13Eand FY14E, respectively.

OCL’s EBITDA/tonne is bound to improve significantly FY13E onwards. We expect OCL’s EBITDA/tonne to post an improvement of 73% and 26% at Rs1,139 and Rs1,437 in FY13E and FY14E, respectively. OCL’s EBITDA/tonne improvement in 1HFY13 is much higher at 111% Vs. FY12 at Rs1,388. Market trends are likely to be weak 3QFY13E. However, we believe our EBITDA/tonne expectations for OCL’s EBITDA growth in FY13E and FY14E is fairly reasonable and achievable. OCL’s EBITDA/tonne

1HFY13 EBITDA/tonne improvement was at 111% Vs. FY12.
We expect EBITDA/tonne to improve substantially by 73% and 26% YoY in FY13E and FY14E, respectively.
OCL has been able to take the volumeadvantage in East India, though OCL’sdiscipline has been in fairly good syncwith East India. OCL accounts for ~19%of East India capacity and is completelydependent on this region only for sale ofits produce. The blip and recoverytowards January‐April ’12 is on accountof the mining ban imposed on OCL andother players took this opportunity tocapture the market for time beingwhich was serviced by OCL.

OCL has clearly pressed the volumeaccelerator since the time it hasincreased its capacity in FY09 from 2 to5.35mn tonnes p.a. Currently, if wecompare only Odisha, OCL is incomplete sync with the discipline of thisstate and is clearly visible from theadjoining graph.
We have valued OCL at a targetmultiple of 4.0x EV/EBITDA on FY14Eearnings. Considering volume growthpotential of OCL and taking intoaccount OCL’s skewed regionalexposure to East India only, we believethis multiple is fair.

JK Cement Getting in the “Aggression” Mode – Cautiously!
CEMENT: Company Update 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
JK Cement Ltd. (JKC) is an aspiring cement manufacturer, currently having a capacity of 7.5mn tonnes p.a. of Grey Cement (North+South India) and 0.4mn tonnes p.a. of White Cement capacity. It is a rare mid‐tier cement player, who has announced two major expansions simultaneously (including an overseas expansion in Fujairah, UAE). Investment Rationale • Volume growth to trigger in from Karnataka plant, FY13E onwards. JKC
operated its Karnataka capacity at 14% lower utilisations than regional utilisation in Karnataka in FY12E. JKC has guided for a 33% increase in Karnataka production from 1.53mn tonnes in FY12.
• Capacity expansions in white cement and putty segment to further strengthen and stabilize overall profitability of JKC in longer term, white cement segment being a much more stable business segment vs. grey cement. Operating margins in white cement business remains firm and consistent between 25‐30%. Flexibility to produce both grey cement/white cement as per market scenarios is a competitive advantage for JKC to trigger volume growth further (especially for white cement).
• Brownfield expansion in North India and Greenfield project at Fujairah to help JKC maintain consistency with volume growth trends. JKC expects volume growth to remain at +12‐15% YoY for the next couple of years. Our estimates factor in volume growth of ~10‐11% for FY13E and FY14E.
• Overseas expansion will help JKC save its white cement capacity in India for domestic use, as demand for export markets will then be serviced by this plant. This may materially increase grey cement volumes in North India as Nihon Nirman plant can then remain dedicated to grey cement production.
• JKC has recently taken a Board approval for a QIB placement of Rs2bn. The management has clarified that QIB placement is only with a view to enable the company to smoothly increase its capacity further. The management has indicated a Greenfield project in Central India.
Risks • Delays in capex execution at Mangrol and UAE. • Rising debt levels. Net Debt:Equity likely to rise to 1.13x in FY14E from 0.62x
in FY12. Hence, price wars, if any may prove fatal. Valuation • We have valued JKC at 6.0x EV/EBITDA in White Cement segment and 7.0x
EV/EBITDA in Grey Cement segment on FY14E earnings. JKC is moving smartly with two simultaneous expansions, effectively in two different business segments (Grey and white cement). Volume triggers for JKC will continue to emerge in both these segments one after the other, as these expansions commission. Stock is bound to re‐rate upwards as it moves closer to the 10mn tonnes p.a. capacity mark.
• At current market price of Rs 331 stock of JKC trades at 8.3x and 8.0x PER; 5.5x and 5.9x EV/EBITDA and US$ 78 and 99 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively. At our price target of Rs485, stock of JKC will trade at 12.2x and 11.7x PER; 7.2x and 7.3x EV/EBITDA and US$101 and 123 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / JK CEMENT / COMPANY UPDATE
Accelerating cautiously… JK Cement’s (JKC) operations came into existence with the acquisition of the cement division of JK Synthetics in November 2004. These assets included grey cement plants at Nimbahera and Mangrol, captive power plant at Bamania and a white cement plant at Gotan, all in the State of Rajasthan. These assets were acquired “as going concern” on 4th November 2004 through slump purchase in terms of One Time Settlement Scheme from JK Synthetics Limited for a purchase consideration of Rs4.68bn. JK Cement subsequently made a public offering and got listed on exchanges. JKC today is a ~7.5mn tonnes p.a. of grey cement and 0.4mn tonnes p.a. of white cement capacity. Grey cement operations are located in Rajasthan (North India ‐ 4.5mn tonnes p.a.) and Karnataka (South India ‐ 3.0mn tonnes p.a.). White cement operations includes 0.4mn tonnes p.a. of white cement capacity and 0.3mn tonnes p.a. of white putty capacity located at Gotan, Rajasthan in North India. Stock Re‐rating likely as capacity crosses 10mn tonnes p.a. mark JKC has announced aggressive capacity expansions in both grey cement and white cement segments (including an expansion overseas) which will increase installed capacity by ~50% and 100% in these segments. JKC plans to execute a Brownfield expansion of a grey cement plant at its existing site in Mangrol and Greenfield project of grey‐cum‐white cement at Fujariah, UAE. The company has very recently also taken an approval in it Board Meeting for a QIB placement of Rs2bn. JKC is planning yet another +3mn tonne capacity in Central India and this QIB placement, is with a view to enable the company to smoothly execute further expansions to grow its capacity size in‐line with market size. North India Expansion At Mangrol (Rajasthan), JKC has announced a grey cement expansion with integrated plant of 1.5mn tonnes p.a. (Kiln capacity: 5000TPD) and a split grinding unit of 1.5mn tonnes p.a. in Jhajhar, Haryana. The project will include 25MW Thermal Captive Power Plant, 5MW Waste Heat Recovery Plant and Railway Sidings at both sites. Total estimated project cost is at Rs17bn with a targeted Debt:Equity funding of 2:1. JKC is confident of executing the project in 24 months of times starting October 2012. A cushion in grinding capacity is intentionally created with this expansion, in order to play safe taking in into account maintenance shutdowns of cement mills, surge in demand etc. Obviously, purchase of clinker to support additional volumes with surplus grinding capacity will always remain a possible option to evaluate to trigger volume growth. UAE Expansion JKC has also made an ambitious foray in the middle‐east region with a Greenfield project of grey‐cum‐white cement plant. This project is likely to be on stream by March 2014 with a capacity of 0.6m tonne p.a. of White Cement or 1 mn tonnes p.a. of Grey Cement or a combination of both. JKC is confident of the shift from Grey Cement to White Cement and vice‐versa, as the company is already doing the same in India at its Nihon Nirman Plant. The shift from White Cement to Grey Cement can be done immediately with no gaps; however, a shift from Grey Cement to White Cement will mean a production gap of ~3 days. This is to ensure that the White Clinker is completely free from any impurities, which may be present in the raw meal of Grey Cement. The technology has been provided by Taiheiyo Cement Corporation and JKC is the only player in India who is doing so.
JKC came into existence with theacquisition of cement division of JKSynthetics in November 2004. Capacityhas almost been double since thecompany came into inception. Thepresent capacity of the company is~8mn tonnes p.a. (Grey + WhiteCement)
JKC is now slowly and steadily getting more focused on expansions. Capacity isset to increase by ~50% and 100% byend of 1HFY15E. QIB placement ofRs2bn is with a view to expand furtherin Central India.
3 mn tonne p.a. expansion in NorthIndia will be on track by October 2014.
Overseas expansion in the Middle Eastof a grey‐cum‐white cement plant willbe on track by March 2014. Onceoperational, the entire export marketserviced from India by JKC will then beserviced by this plant. JKC currentlyexports +5000 tonnes per month ofwhite cement which will then beavailable in India and accelerate localvolumes. It is to be noted domesticmargins are in most cases better thanthe export margin.

28 January 2013 / INDIA EQUITY RESEARCH / JK CEMENT / COMPANY UPDATE
Project cost for UAE expansion has been firmed up at 150mn USD and JKC does not expect any cost escalation. JKC will hold 90% equity stake of the UAE plant (10% being with the Government of Fujairah for extending facilities to JKC for setting up of the plant). JKC will contribute 50mn towards equity (10mn Equity and 40mn Preference Capital). Preference Capital is being infused with intent of bringing the money back to the parent as and when the operations in Fujairah become profitable and the redemption is viable. Of the 50mn USD contribution of JKC (~Rs2.5bn); 3/5th is likely to be funded through debt and balance through internal accruals. Financial Closure for this debt of Rs1.5bn is also in place.

JKC has a material scope ofimprovement of 14% in Karnataka.Average JKC’s utilisation in Karnataka inFY12 was at 51% while Karnataka aswhole operated at 65%. This will meana volume increase of ~0.4mn tonnes justby syncing its utilisations to stateaverage in South India.
Not much scope of improving capacityutilisations in Rajasthan for JKC with thecurrent capacity. This highlights theimportance and need of a new capacityfor JKC in Rajasthan / North India.

Capacity has always been the biggestconstraint for JKC in North India. NorthIndia has really not felt the pinch ofexcess capacity yet. As we can see in theadjoining graph, JKC’s production inNorth India has always been rangedbound. It has never misbehaved inNorth India by increasing its productionto more than proportionate vs. industry.Infact, in relatively tough times we canclearly sense a production cut in orderto ensure a healthy regional scenario.
All of the JKC’s current capacity in NorthIndia is located in Rajasthan itself andas we know Rajasthan is the biggestchunk of capacity in North India(~2/3rd). Hence JKC’s behavior vis‐à‐visRajasthan is almost the same and notmaterially different from what it is tothe region as a whole.
JKC has been a new entrant to SouthIndia. JKC’s behavior in South India haslargely followed the regional pattern ofSouth India. JKC is surely one of thewell‐behaved mid‐caps in North andSouth India. If we closely observe JKC ‘sbehavior in North and South India, itwill not be incorrect to term JKC as‘accommodative’ by nature. Hence therisk to pricing / realisations for JKCremains fairly minimal, in our view.

JKC’s capacity in South India is locatedin Karnataka only. As seen in theadjoining graph, in a very short span oftime, JKC has well‐synced with theregional despatch pattern of Karnataka.
We have valued JKC’s grey cementbusiness and white cement business at8.0x and 6.0x FY14E, respectively. GivenJKC’s regional exposure and pipeline ofcapacities, we believe these multiplesare fair. At our price target of Rs485/‐the stock will trade at an EV/tonne of~123 on FY14E earnings, which is still adiscount of ~20% to currentreplacement cost.

JK Lakshmi Cement Executing “Intelligent” capex opportunities
CEMENT: Initiating Coverage 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
JK Lakshmi Cement (JKLC) is another leading cement manufacturer with total capacity of 5.3mn tonnes spread across North and West India. JKLC also rides high aspirations to nearly double its capacity by end of FY15E. JKLC is working on two distinct projects simultaneously in order to increase its capacity base in the country which will ultimately result in volume trigger for JKLC. Installed capacity of JKLC will see an increase of 88% by end of FY15E. Investment Rationale • Greenfield expansion in East India (including grinding expansions) to add 50%
incremental capacity by end of FY14E. Brownfield refurbishment of JK Udaipur Udyog and additional grinding expansion in West India (Surat, Gujarat) to further add ~1.7mn tonnes to total capacity taking it near to 10mn tonnes p.a.
• Capital cost of Udaipur Udyog plant to be lower by ~33% despite refurbishment of all key equipments thereby resulting in a materially higher return on investments than a regular capex project. It is also to be noted that JKLC has adequate amount of resources at its Udaipur site to undergo an expansion of equivalent or even higher capacity.
• Like other mid‐tier cement companies, JKLC has also kept its focus to creation of capacities in order to support a strong volume growth. However, it is to be noted that JKLC’s East India expansion is going to be amongst the first few ones by mid‐tier cement companies in India and thus a competitive advantage for JKLC.
• Capacity increase will help JKLC to boost its volume growth significantly higher than peers, especially in established markets. We expect JKLC to post a volume growth of ~12% in FY14E. Moreover, capacity expansion at Udaipur will further trigger volume growth in FY15E. Volume growth expected in FY15E is as high as 31%.
• Expansions in Chhattisgarh with grinding units in West Bengal and Odisha will also expand the overall geographical reach of JKLC. Valuation multiples are bound to get re‐rated with capacity nearing 10mn tonne mark and business model getting de‐risked to multiple regions/states.
Risks • Delays in capacity expansion and execution. • Prolonged time span for establishment of brands and markets in East India. Valuation • We have valued JKLC at a target multiple of 8.0x EV/EBITDA on FY14E
earnings. We strongly believe, with the potential volume growth of JKLC in FY14E and FY15E, valuations will re‐rate.
• At a CMP of Rs 146, the stock of JKLC trades at 7.8x & 6.8x EV/EBITDA, 10.8x & 10.5x P/E and US$ 91 & 71 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively. At our price target of Rs 211, the stock of JKLC will trade at 9.5x & 8.0x EV/EBITDA, 15.6x & 15.2x P/E and US$ 142 & 107 EV/tonne on FY13E and FY14E earnings, respectively.

Volumes are very likely to shoot up with JKLC’s East India expansion. Though FY13E volumes are likely to remain flattish, JKLC’s volume growth is likely to shoot up FY14E onwards. We expect JKLC to report volume growth of 12% and 31% in FY14E and FY15E, respectively.
Capacity set to increase by 88% by end of FY15E.
JKLC is amongst the most aggressivemid‐tier companies in terms of organiccapacity expansions.
Volume growth of JKLC will remainrobust at 12% and 31% in FY14E andFY15E, respectively.

JKLC is an aggressive North major whohas successfully pushed volumes infavorable times and toned down itsaggression in tough times to fall in‐linewith the market discipline.
JKLC’s capacities are largelyconcentrated in Rajasthan. JKLC’sbehavior in Rajasthan is thereforelargely similar as to what behaviorpattern has been observed vis‐à‐vis North India. An aggressive approach infavorable times and cautious and toneddown approach in tough times.
JKLC has been a recent entrant to WestIndia. As seen from the adjoining graph,JKLC has made successful attempts tosync its despatches to the overallregional despatches of West India. JKLC,in our view is not a concern to thediscipline of West India, in total.

The only capacity of JKLC in West Indiais located in state of Gujarat. Thoughthe sync of despatches of JKLC is fairlysimilar, a better sync pattern can besensed for JKLC in West India, if wecompare it to the state of Gujarat only.
We have assigned a target multiple of8.0x to JKLC on FY14E earnings. Webelieve, given the aggressive capacitygrowth (at relatively low capex) and theresultant potential volume growth ofthe company, this target multiple isquite fair.

HeidelbergCement India Improvement in efficiencies to re‐define valuation multiples
CEMENT: Initiating Coverage 28 January 2013
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
HeidelbergCement India Limited (HCIL) is a group company of the global major HeidelbergCement. In India, HCIL enjoys presence in Central India, Western India and Southern India markets. HeidelbergCement entered Indian markets through inorganic route by acquiring Mysore Cements Ltd. in August 2006. HCIL is amongst one of the most attractive buying opportunities in the near term in Indian cement sector given its attractive valuations at US$50/tonne. Investment Rationale • HCIL remains one of the few mid cap cement companies which is all set to
double its capacity base from 3mn tonnes p.a. to more than 6 mn tonnes p.a. Infact the company has already commissioned commercial production at its grinding expansion at Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) on 16th January 2013 while the commercial production of clinker unit is likely very shortly (before March 2013). Valuation re‐rating is very likely with doubling of capacity.
• Volume growth likely to be very robust for CY13E. We expect HCL to deliver volumes of +5mn tonnes in CY13E from ~3mn tonnes in CY12E. It is to be noted that HCIL is a 100% blended cement producer and hence volume increase of 65‐70% with doubling of capacity is not an impossible task for HCIL. In other words, HCIL targets a ramp up of upto +85% of its capacity expansion, once it begins commercial production in 1QCY13E.
• The major concern for HCIL has always been its low operational efficiency and unviable cost structure. However, with the expansion coming in operation, a lot of these concerns will be addressed. Improvement in operational efficiencies is likely to be a significant contributor to EBITDA growth. EBITDA/tonne is expected to improve from Rs208/tonne in CY11 to Rs661/tonne in CY13E. Behavioral analysis suggests though the size of capacity of HCIL is relatively small, its sync with despatches of respective regions and states is probably one of the best in small / mid‐tier companies.
• Ambitious expansion plans / inorganic acquisitions (if any) can trigger further re‐rating to valuation multiples. Earlier, HCIL had set in an ambitious target of being a 15mn tonne p.a. capacity by end of CY15E. It is quite obvious; HCIL will have to adopt the inorganic route, if at all it still has the mindset to reach this benchmark by end of CY15E.
Risks • Failure to deliver operational efficiencies with expanded capacity / deliver
aggressive volumes in CY13E and any delays in execution of expansion plans. • Inorganic expansion which may not be economically viable or may not be in
synergy with the existing operations of HCIL. No thrust on further capacity expansions, may result in loss of re‐rating trigger.
Valuation • We have valued HCIL at a target multiple of 7.0x EV/EBITDA CY13E earnings.
At our target multiple HCIL will trade at an EV/tonne of US$ 72 on FY14E earnings as against US$50 currently. Given the potential of a robust volume growth at HCIL in the next 12‐15 months and improving efficiencies of its plant operations, HCIL clearly deserves better stock valuations.

Capex to reduce inefficiencies, trigger volumes HeidelbergCement India Ltd. (HCIL) is all set to double its capacity base from 3mn tonnes p.a. to +6mn tonnes p.a. HCIL made a dual entry in India in 2006, with a 50:50 joint venture with Indorama Cement (in Raigad District, Maharashtra) and majority acquisition of Mysore Cements Limited (S.K. Birla Group Company incorporated in 1960s). The Raigad unit is a grinding unit where HCIL buys slag from JSW Ispat (Imports Clinker or buys it from competitors) and sells cement to Mumbai and Pune markets (Primary markets for this plant). The other units were mainly located in Central India with a small unit in Southern India (in Karnataka in Ammasandra (110kms away from Bengaluru), this plant can produce ~0.4mn tonnes of cement p.a.). In 2008, both these entities were merged to form HCIL. Resultantly, HCIL currently has 4 plants spread across regions of Central, West and South India. HCIL has very recently executed and commissioned a large expansion in Central India which has helped HCIL doubled its capacity base. It has increased its clinker capacity from 1.2 mn tonnes p.a. to 3.1 mn tonnes p.a. (trial runs underway) at its unit in Damoh (Madhya Pradesh)) and its cement grinding capacity to 6 mn tonnes p.a., (at Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh) thereby doubling the existing capacity (Grinding unit has commissioned commercial production on 16th January 2013 while the clinker unit is likely to commence its commercial production very shortly). Capacity exposure to Central India has increased from 50% to 75%. Capacity Mix of HCIL post expansion in Central India

The major concern with HCIL historically has been its unviable and inefficient cost structure which is largely on account of location disadvantages. In central India distance between mines and plant is ~20kms and another 20kms from clinker unit to 1st grinding unit and 300 kms to the second one. To address these legacy issues partially, HCIL has commissioned an Over Land Conveyor Belt (OLBC) to transport limestone from mines (~20 kms away) to the clinker unit and should help the company in saving ~30% of the limestone extraction costs. Previously, HCIL used to large use Trucks and Tippers to transport limestone which is a relatively expensive mode of transportation. Also for the recently commissioned new units, power and fuel consumption parameters will be much better than the older plants which will further help in cost savings. Overall, on back of all these initiatives, we expect HCIL’s EBITDA/tonne to improve from Rs208 in CY11 to Rs368 and Rs661 in CY12E and CY13E, respectively (an improvement of more than 77‐79% YoY for two consecutive calendar years). HCIL’s 9MCY12 EBITDA/tonne has been at Rs359. EBITDA margins are seen improving from 6.2% in CY11 to 16.5% in CY13E.
HCIL made a dual entry in India with50:50 JV with Indorama Cement andmajority acquisition of Mysore Cement.
All set to increase volumes with robustvolume growth of ~67% (about 5mntonnes in CY13E as against 3mn tonnesin CY12) for CY13E with doubling ofcapacity from 3mn tonnes p.a. to +6mntonnes p.a.
HCIL’s capacity share in Central Indiawill increase from 50% to 75% withcommissioning of expansions.
Inefficiencies to get partially addressedwith new technology plants, OLBC’s etc.Resultantly, we see EBITDA/tonneimproving by 77‐79% YoY for CY12E andCY13E. EBITDA margin to jump by morethan 1000bps from 6.2% to 16.5% inCY13E.

HCIL made its entry in India since 2006.In favorable time, we can clearly seethat HCIL despatches wereproportionately higher than industryand in tough times, at no point has HCILbreached the market discipline byincreasing its despatches more thanproportionate to the region as a whole.Though, it can be otherwise as well,that as other participants increasedcapacity, they were given share ofadditional despacthes in the region.However, we need to note that HCIL hasbeen a much disciplined player inCentral India and the same can beclearly seen in the adjoining graph.
EBITDA/tonne will be seen at an all timehigh for HCIL since its entry in Indiasince CY06. Potential of furtherimprovement cannot be ruled out asHCIL expands further with newcapacities.
Despatches have always been in tandemwith the overall sate despatches inMadhya Pradesh and HCIL has never beenseen breaching the market discipline.

In Uttar Pradesh, where HCIL opeates agrinding unit of 0.5mn tonnes p.a.HCIL’s despatches have beenconsistently higher than that of peers.However with capacity bottleneck atHCIL, other players took the advantageand increased their despatches tomatch HCIL. HCIL’s grinding unit herehas now increased its capacity to 2.7mntonnes p.a. and we will see HCIL dervingthe benefits of this capacity addition inCY13E. Recently in tough times, the syncin Uttar Pradesh has been prettyfavorable, however, one needs to waitand watch as to how these otherplayers react as HCIL’s despatches willnow increase more than proportionate.
Though HCIL operates a very smallcapacity (~2%) as compared to theoverall capacity size of West India, it isamazing to see the sync in the despatchpattern of HCIL and West India region.This clearly brings out the importance ofmarket discipline to HCIL and highlightsHCIL maturity despite being a vey smallplayer currently in this market.
HCIL has only one grinding unit locatedin West India which is in Maharashtra(~5% capacity share in Maharashtra).The well behaved nature of HCIL is astrue vis‐à‐vis Maharashtra as comparedto region as a whole. Discipline patternof HCIL in this region is truly remarkableand hence HCIL faces minimal risk ofloss in realisation in this market. It is tobe noted HCIL operates a slag basedfacility here.

HCIL’s behavior comparison in SouthIndia does not make much sense as itaccounts for less than 1% of theregional capacity in South. However, itis interesting to note that since Jan’11when HCIL increased its despatchesagain in South India, the despatchpattern has been identical to that of thewhole of South India.
HCIL’s only capacity in South India is inKarnataka and accounts for ~3% of thestate capacity. Like we saw in theprevious graph, recovery of HCIL’sdespatches since Jan’11 is also incomplete sync with the overall despatchpattern of the state of Karnataka. In allregions where HCIL operates maturityof HCIL despite being a marginal playerstands out distinctly.
We have valued HCIL at 7.0x EV/EBITDAon CY13E earnings. This multiple webelieve is fair given the near termrobust volume growth of HCIL thoughthe capacity size will remain relativelysmall to the industry. Clearly HCIL willneed to fast track its next phase ofexpansions for stock valuations tosustain these valuations.
