PGCIL order inflow analysis and a comparative study on Transmission EPC players
Ordering activity broadly on par with last year; substation ordering stays firm; Techno Electric
remains our top pick
Ordering activity stays flat y-o-y till Mid-March – Ordering activity by Power Grid (PGCIL) in FY16 (till mid-march, Rs.155bn)
has been broadly on par with FY15. This is inspite of weaker ordering in 2HFY16 which witnessed a decline of ~50% y-o-y.
Ordering pace in the transmission line segment registered a decline of 40% y-o-y. Substation and transformers ordering
remained healthy at Rs.40bn (flat yoy) and Rs. 7.4bn (15% yoy increase) respectively
TLT ordering see decline y-o-y, KECI, KPP win sizeable market share – Transmission line tower (TLT) ordering had
witnesses a y-o-y decline of 40% to Rs. 46bn in FY16 (till mid-march). Core TLT contractors – KEC (KECI), Kalpataru Power
(KPP)- secured a healthy share of ~40% of the overall TLT ordering during the period. We believe recent weakness in TLT
ordering to be only a near term concern (timing issue) and should pick-up as Rs. 40bn worth of PGCIL TLT tenders are in the
immediate pipeline. Competitive intensity has stabilized at ~6 bidders per TLT contract over the past 3-4 quarters. We expect
EBITDA margin for TLT contractors to be ~9-10% going forward.
Substation ordering momentum continues, Chinese/Korean players dominate GIS, TEEC wins sizeable share in AIS –
Substation orders remained healthy at Rs. 40bn in FY16 (vs. Rs. 44bn in FY15 and Rs. 26bn in FY14). Chinese/Korean players
continued to dominate the Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) segment by bidding for/winning majority of the GIS orders inspite of
competition from MNC players (ABB, ATD and SIEM). In Air insulated substation (AIS) orders, Techno Electric (TEEC) had
registered sizeable orders Rs. 4.2bn (22% market share). It has also won a STATCOM order with Rongxin (Rs. 4.8bn order).
Robust substation ordering by PGCIL, improved ordering by SEBs and new STATCOM orders (2-3 orders in the next 12
months) should improve the order inflow prospects for TEEC
International opportunity large, KECI,KPP to benefit given their presence – Transmission and distribution (T&D) spend by
international regions is expected to be strong inspite of global headwinds. Latest reports suggest MENA region is likely to spend
~USD 50bn in T&D spend over the next five years. Already ~$8bn has been spent in 2015 in the region. Similarly, top five
African countries are expected to spend ~USD 30bn over the next 4-5 years. Given KECI and KPP’s sizeable presence (~50%
of TLT order book in international markets), we expect ordering momentum to sustain.
Comparative Analysis: Prefer Techno among the trio followed by KECI and KPP – We remain positive on KECI, KPP and
TEEC given the increasing transmission spend in both domestic and international markets. We prefer TEEC given the high
quality management, conservative approach, strong order book position (2x book-to-bill) and possible triggers from wind power
asset sale. Assign 16x FY18E earnings and Rs. 131/share for other assets to arrive at a TP of Rs. 585. Maintain ‘Buy’
KECI should register strong order inflow growth (17% CAGR) driven by increased traction from international transmission
orders (EPC orders from Brazil for SAE towers), ordering from substation and railway segments. Turnaround in SAE Towers
should lead to higher margins. Assign 12x FY18E multiple to arrive at a TP of Rs. 150. Maintain ‘Buy’
KPP should register healthy growth (13% yoy growth) driven by healthy order inflow in FY16E and a low base. EBITDA margin
(standalone) should sustain at ~10.7% as the margin in infrastructure segment improves. Improvement in operational
performance in JMC projects and sale of real estate projects in Thane and Indore should lead to improved overall performance.
Assign 12x FY18E earnings multiple to arrive at a TP of Rs. 257. Maintain “Buy”

KECI, KPP wins sizeable orders from PGCIL, SEBs
In the 13th plan sizeable portion of the transmission spend should
come from the SEBs
Source: Ministry of Power, Spark Capital Research
Overall PGCIL ordering in FY16 (till mid-March) has been at a similar run-
rate as FY15. Ordering for substations has continued to remain high at ~Rs.
40bn worth of orders. Orders in the transmission line towers (TLT) segment
witnessed a decline of 40% y-o-y which, we believe is due to the shift in
focus of PGCIL towards execution of existing projects already awarded vis-a-
vis award of new orders. Order inflow momentum in TLT segment should
pick up from FY17E onwards given ~Rs. 40bn worth of orders are in pipeline.
Competitive intensity in TLT ordering has remained low at a historical level
due to the stringent pre-qualification norms insisted by PGCIL.We believe the
elimination of fringe players in the TLT market has improved the margin
profile of orders in the segment.
KECI (~27% market share) and KPP (13% market share) have continued to
win sizeable portion of the TLT orders. KPP has secured sizeable contracts
from SEBs also. We believe KECI and KPP would benefit from any pick up in
TLT ordering from both PGCIL and SEBs from FY17E
KPP has won sizeable SEB orders

International transmission spend likely to be robust
Ordering activity in the MENA region is likely to remain high inspite of the
recent fall in crude oil prices. The governments have continued to focus on
basis infrastructure spend which includes transmission related expenditure.
About ~USD 50bn worth of transmission spend is expected over the next 5
years. Already ~8bn worth of expenditure was incurred in 2015 in this region
Similarly, key African countries are also having sizeable plans to increase
their spend on transmission and distribution over the next 4-5 years. About
~USD 25-30bn is expected to be spent by the top five countries in this
region. Both, KECI and KPP have sizable presence in Africa.
For KECI, ordering opportunity is expanding in the Latin American countries.
It has started to secure EPC orders in Brazil (so far they have been
executing only tower supply contracts). EPC contracts are thrice the size of
pure supply contracts.
Sizeable opportunity in the international markets should sustain growth in
international segment and mitigate geographical concentration risks for both
KECI and KPP
MENA region spend should remain firm inspite of fall in crude prices

PGCIL order inflow analysis and a comparative study on Transmission EPC players
Expanding substation market to accommodate increased competition
Ordering activity in the substation market has remained strong from
PGCIL. ~Rs. 40bn worth of orders have been tendered out of which Rs.
21bn is for Gas Insulated Substation (GIS)
Chinese players have continued to dominate the GIS and Extra high
voltage (EHV) market. Among air insulated substation (AIS) orders,
TEEC and Alstom have secured sizeable orders. STATCOM order has
been secured by Rongxin (in a tie-up with TEEC).
While we acknowledge the increased competition in the substation
market – Hyosung setting up manufacturing facility in India, TLT players
foraying into substation EPC and domestic MNC players getting
aggressive - we believe an expanding market should provide comfortable
opportunity for TEEC.
GIS continues to command high share in overall ordering

KECI – Bid pipeline strong, turnaround in SAE, new segments to improve margins
Order inflow momentum for KECI should sustain given the strong bid
pipeline across geographies, verticals and foray into EPC contracts in
Brazil (through SAE Towers). We expect order inflow to grow by 17%
CAGR in FY16E-FY18E
KECI margins in the new segments (substation, railways) have improved
as a few low margin orders are completed. We expect EBITDA margin
should sustain at higher levels driven by turnaround in SAE Towers
operations (especially Mexico) and improved margin in the new
segments (substations, railways)
KECI has reduced its interest cost from 3.7% of FY15 sales to ~3.5% in
9MFY16 through monetization of assets (land and telecom assets).
Interest cost should decrease further to ~3% of FY17E revenue on the
back of improved credit rating (improved to A1+ from A1 in Nov’15) and
better mix of relatively low cost debt vs. high interest cost bearing
acceptances
…should lead to strong order inflow over the next 1-2 years

KPP – Strong order inflow momentum to lead to growth recovery
KPP has registered strong order inflow in FY16E (~Rs. 61bn so far vs.
Rs. 31bn in FY15). This has been largely due to two large orders from
Tamil Nadu and Karnataka SEBs (~Rs. 11bn worth of orders) and EPC
contracts worth Rs. 8.5bn for the transmission BOT project KPP had
secured in West Bengal
EBITDA margin for KPP has seen an increase to 10.7% in FY16E (vs.
9.6% in FY15) driven by benefits from fall in commodity prices (for fixed
price contracts) and turnaround in the infrastructure segment. We expect
margin to stabilize at these levels over the next two years
JMC Projects margin should sustain higher at ~8.4% (vs. 6.8% in FY15)
as higher share of the order book carry price variation clause. Stabilizing
operations in infrastructure segment, staggered sale of real estate
investments should be additional triggers.
…driven by large orders from SEBs

TEEC – Strong order book position to drive growth, further wind asset sale to act as near term trigger
TEEC’s order inflow in FY16E should be on-par with FY15 (Rs. 14bn) on
the back of better ordering traction in Jan-Mar’16. Current order book of
~Rs. 20bn (2x FY16E book-to-bill) provides sufficient revenue visibility
and should lead to 17-18% revenue CAGR over the next two years
We expect order inflow momentum to continue in the medium term driven
by robust substation ordering sustained by PGCIL and increased by
SEBs. Further STATCOM orders in the pipeline (2-3 orders expected in
the next12 months) should drive order inflow
Possible sale of remaining wind power assets (162MW) should reduce
the current net debt of Rs. 2bn and lead to net cash scenario. TEEC is
expected to invest in substation BOT based projects going forward. We
believe TEEC is likely to have a cautious approach towards solar EPC
projects given the volatility in this segment
…should be driven by a strong order book (~2x FY16E book-to-bill)

TEEC carries better EBITDA margin due to
its asset light business model and low cost
of operations. KECI and KPP carry
relatively lower margin due to higher fixed
costs
KECI has the highest leverage with a debt-
to-equity ratio of 1.6x and interest cost of
~3.3% FY16E. Scope for interest cost
reduction is high given recent improved
credit rating and stable debt position
Order inflow growth scope is high for both
KECI and TEEC given their expanding
addressable markets (for KECI – Brazil
EPC projects and substations). Order
inflow for KPP should moderate due to a
high base (doubling of order inflow yoy in
FY16E)
Execution growth should remain healthy
for all the players given – low base, strong
order inflow visibility and stabilization of
commodity prices (for KECI and KPP).
TEEC should grow by ~20% CAGR given
strong order book position

Parameter KECI KPP TEEC Comments
Order Inflow
Momentum 1 3 2
Order inflow traction for KECI should remain strong given sustained ordering in Middle East, EPC orders in Brazil and Railways, Substation
contracts. Ordering for KPP should be flat over the next two years given the high base created in FY16E
Execution Pace 3 2 1 Execution pace for TEEC should remain strong given the strong order book (book to bill of ~2x)
Scope for margin
Expansion 1 3 2 For KECI, Turnaround in SAE Towers, and improving margins in new segments (railways, water,etc) should lead to margin expansion
Working Capital 1 2 3 KECI continues to have a relatively lower working capital requirement. KPP has maintained working capital position over the past few
years.TEEC’s working capital has deteriorated the most
Management Quality 2 3 1 We believe TEEC’s management has a more prudent and conservative approach in picking orders with strong execution
Overall Ranking 2 3 1 We prefer TEEC due to its focused, selective approach towards picking orders, asset light operations and a strong balance sheet
position (with low leverage ~0.2x debt-to-equity)
