Infrastructure
A tale of two states INDIA | INFRASTRUCTURE | Sector Update
12 January 2016
Read this report for: • Details of potential order awards in Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Maharashtra • Companies that provide a direct play on the infrastructure activity in these regions As the market grapples with global uncertainties (USD‐INR, crude, China), we find solace back home with strong momentum continuing in core infrastructure order awards and execution activity. While NHAI seems to be well on track for awarding 5,500km of projects in FY16 (additional 2,500km by MoRTH also seem to be on track), it has also unveiled a series of reforms to revive stuck projects. However, what is more heartening is escalated infrastructure activity by state governments – especially UP and Maharashtra. Uttar Pradesh (UP) – the state is buzzing with activity With state assembly elections almost round the corner in 2017, the UP state government has upped the ante. Large number of projects are being executed, deadlines for many have been preponed to before the elections, and a slew of projects are expected to be announced in the next six‐eight months (before aachar sanhita (model code of conduct) kicks in). While UP State Highway Authority and UP Expressway Industrial Development Authority are expediting upgradation and construction of state highways and expressways across the state, Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation is making rapid progress in Lucknow metro and four other metro projects in the state (Kanpur, Varanasi, Agra, Meerut). We expect over Rs 800bn of road and metro projects to be awarded in UP (by state and central government bodies) – a mammoth opportunity for local players such as PNC Infratech. Maharashtra – stepping it up, finally The impetus provided to infrastructure activity by the general assembly elections (May 2014) and the subsequent state assembly elections (Oct‐2014) gave rise to sustainable momentum, which the new state government has taken forward well. While the MMRDA recently awarded the much‐awaited Mumbai Metro 3 EPC packages, significant progress has happened on Mumbai coastal road, Trans‐Harbour Link, and other metro projects (Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune). We expect projects worth Rs 1trn in Mahrashtra (Rs 900bn in Mumbai alone) to be awarded over the next three years, culminating into a huge opportunity for local players such as JKumar Infraprojects. Telagana and/or Andhra Pradesh (AP) – in a nascent stage Telangana and AP present a huge infrastructure opportunity in terms of irrigation and road projects in Telangana and building of a new state capital in AP. However, most of the projects are still on the drawing board and will take at least 12‐18 months, in our opinion, to crystallise into concrete orders. Comparable valuations Almost all of our preferred picks in the EPC space (NCC, JKIL, KNR, PNC) are trading at comparable valuations, which perhaps reflects that the market realises their similar stature and upside potential. In this scenario, we recommend that investors choose stocks that provide them exposure to certain segments (roads, metros, ports) or geographies (UP, Maharashtra, pan‐India). In line with this thinking, we recommend PNC Infratech as a pure play on the opportunity in UP, and JKumar Infraprojects as a direct beneficiary of the opportunity in Maharashtra. NCC and KNR, with their pan‐India presence, would also benefit from order award activity in both these regions.

INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR UPDATE
Pockets of infrastructure opportunities Looking at the pipeline of infrastructure projects across the country (announced and considered by the centre and state governments), we believe UP and Maharashtra are likely to see maximum action. Uttar Pradesh (UP) – the state of buzzing activity With state assembly elections almost round the corner in 2017, the state government has upped the ante. Large number of projects are being executed, deadlines for many have been preponed to before the elections, and a slew of projects are expected to be announced in the next six months (before aachar sanhita (model code of conduct) kicks in). While UP State Highway Authority (UPSHA) and UP Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) are expediting upgradation and construction of state highways and expressways across the state, Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC) is making rapid progress in Lucknow metro and four other metro projects in the state (Kanpur, Varanasi, Agra, Meerut). A large share of projects that the NHAI is likely to award are in UP and Bihar. It has already awarded major road projects in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka over the last five years. We expect over Rs 800bn of road and metro projects in UP (awarded by state and central govt bodies), which should present a mammoth opportunity for local players (PNC Infratech) and players with pan‐India presence (L&T, NCC, KNR). Maharashtra – stepping it up, finally Driven by years of neglect by various state governments, infrastructure in Maharashtra, especially Mumbai, is in shambles. While central bodies (NHAI, AAI, IPA) have done their bit, state government projects have seen tepid process over the last decade. However, the impetus provided to the infrastructure activity by general assembly elections (May 2014) and subsequent state assembly elections (Oct‐2014), has given rise to a sustainable momentum, which the new state government has taken forward well. MMRDA recently awarded the much‐awaited Mumbai Metro 3 EPC packages. Significant progress has also been made on Mumbai coastal road, trans‐harbour link and other metro projects (Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune). We expect projects worth Rs 1trn in Mahrashtra (Rs 900bn in Mumbai alone) to be awarded over the next three years, culminating into huge opportunity for local players (JKumar) and players with pan‐India presence (L&T, NCC, KNR). Telagana and/or Andhra Pradesh (AP) – in nascent stage Telangana and AP also present a huge infrastructure opportunity in terms of irrigation and road projects in Telangana and building of a new state capital in AP. While the opportunity promises to be mammoth, most of it is still on the drawing board and will take at least 12‐18 months, in our opinion, to convert into concrete orders. Hence, benefits from these states are likely to be more back‐ended, with little details about segments and size. Likely beneficiaries in these states will be NCC, KNR Construction, and L&T. With clarity yet to emerge on the size and break‐up of the potential opportunity in AP/Telangana, we see the two states of UP and Maharashtra offering the largest potential in terms of order award opportunity. We recommend investors position themselves accordingly and invest in stocks that provide exposure to these states. We recommend PNC Infratech as a pure play on the opportunity in UP – and JKumar as a direct beneficiary of the opportunity in Maharashtra. NCC and KNR, with their pan‐India presence will also benefit from order activity in both these regions.

Uttar Pradesh – the state of buzzing activity Uttar Pradesh seems to be poised for mammoth infrastructure spending over the next two years. With the next state assembly elections (March 2017) in UP, the state government (headed by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party) has expedited its efforts in showcasing its ‘development’ efforts. Demonstrative or not, a lot of activity is already happening on the ground.
Lucknow Lucknow is the core of infrastructure activity in UP. While many roads have been upgraded, it was still a shock to see an extensive network of cycling lanes across the city. Some of the key projects currently being executed in the city are:

Gomti River Waterfront The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is developing a 12km riverfront on the river Gomti. The Rs 30bn project, for which Gammon India has secured the civil contract, is in full swing. The riverbed is being cleansed and construction activity is ongoing on the banks on either side. The project is expected to be complete by March 2017. Activity on the Gomti riverfront project
State highways / Expressways in UP The UP State Highway Authority (UPSHA) and UP Expressway Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) are implementing multiple projects to build greenfield expressways and upgrade the existing state highways. Key projects under execution / to be awarded are: 1) Agra‐Lucknow expressway: The 302km expressway, to be built at a cost of ~Rs
105bn, was awarded to five EPC players (PNC Infratech, AFCONS Infra ‐ two packages, NCC and L&T) last year. While 70% of the earthing work on the project is already done, execution is expected to be over by December 2016. The expressway will reduce the travel time from Agra to Lucknow to 3.5 hours from current +6 hours. It will also provide seamless travel between Lucknow and NCR via the already functional Delhi‐Agra‐Yamuna Expressway.

3) Seven more expressway projects: UPEIDA is planning to develop seven more expressways to decongest the traffic on state and national highways in the state and provide for faster movement of goods. The authority estimates an expenditure of ~Rs 500bn on these projects, spread over the next 4‐5 years.
4) Upgradation of state highways: UPSHA is planning to award upgradation contracts for 15 state highways across the state over the next 8‐12 months. Expenditure on these projects is expected to total ~Rs 500bn.

Metro projects in other cities in UP Apart from Lucknow, plans are being drawn to bring the metro network to four more cities in UP – Kanpur, Varanasi, Agra, and Merut. Kanpur: Phase‐1 of the metro is being planned to be 26km – from IIT Kanpur to Naubasta (via railway station). The DPR has already been prepared and EPC bids for the project are expected to be called in mid‐2016. Varanasi: Phase 1 is being planned to be 12.5km – from Sarnath to BHU (via Kotwali). Currently, DPR is in late stages of completion. Work on the project has been expedited on request from the PMO (Varanasi being PM’s constituency). Ordering is expected to begin towards 2016 end. Agra: Phase‐1 is planned to be 16km – from Cantt Railways Station to TYC‐Phase‐2. Currently, DPR is being prepared. Merrut: Phase‐1 is planned to be 13.5km – from Partapur to Merrut Cantt (via railways station road). Currently, DPR is being prepared.

Mammoth opportunity from NHAI in UP Over the last five years, most of the projects awarded by NHAI have been in the western belt of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. Accordingly, the current bidding pipeline for NHAI (to be awarded over next six months) is mainly concentrated in UP, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. We see huge opportunity in the infrastructure space in UP and Bihar. Both states have neglected their infrastructure needs for long and have fallen significantly behind other states in terms of development. However, of late, the focus of governments in UP (led by CM Akhilesh Yadav) and Bihar (led by CM Nitish Kumar) has been on infrastructure development. While Bihar has seen its roads network upgraded significantly over the last five years, UP has recently awarded significant projects such as the Agra‐Lucknow expressway and Lucknow Metro. With a new government set to take charge in Bihar (December 2015) and state assembly elections due in UP (April 2017) – we see the focus on infrastructure development continuing in these states. Large part of NHAI’s order pipeline is from the Northern and Eastern states

Maharashtra – stepping it up, finally For long, the state of Maharashtra (especially its Mumbai region) has been dormant in terms of infrastructure activity and order awards. While central government bodies (NHAI, AAI and IPA) have been forthcoming in developing the infrastructure in the state (as it is a centre of economic activity), little has been done by successive state governments.
Mumbai Mumbai has especially borne the brunt of state government apathy, with literally no infrastructure project of significant import commissioned over the FY03‐13. However, whether it was an effort to gain brownie points before the 2014 central/state elections or a happy coincidence, the city saw multiple mega projects (Eastern Freeway, Metro, Monorail, SantaCruz‐Chembur link road, and Integrated International airport terminal T2) commissioned in FY14. The new BJP‐led state government seems determined to continue the momentum and has been making rapid progress on some key projects that have the potential to transform the city’s landscape.

After the EPC packages were awarded in Dec‐2015, the MMRDA has not yet signed the finals LoAs. The awarding body is re‐evaluating the financing plan of the project, in the wake of the recent INR depreciation and other cost escalation. The order awards are hence, expected to be delayed, and execution is now expected to start on the project, only in FY17. Mumbai Metro Phase 2 (MM2) In October 2015, the PM inaugurated work for two metro projects – which have been merged to form MM2 – Dahisar‐Andheri (16.5km) and Dahisar‐Charkop‐DN Nagar (18.6km). The two form part of the new MM2 package (earlier awarded to Reliance Infra on BOT basis and subsequently scrapped), which will run along Dahisar‐Charkop‐Bandra‐Mankhurd. The total project cost is expected to be Rs 265bn, and the two stretches are targeted to be completed by 2019.

Mumbai Trans harbour link (MTHL) The much hyped Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, linking Sewri to Nhava‐Sheva, may finally see some action. The project, having already received the nod from the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) and the State Wildlife Board, was recently awarded the Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) clearance and forest clearance. The state government and MMRDA are now trying to secure funding from JICA, for which they already have an in‐principle approval. For final clearance, MMRDA has to make a fresh application for tribal rehabilitation in the forest area that will be impacted by the project as per the Forests Rights Act. This is to certify that the project will not impact any tribal life in the forest areas that it will pass. The MMRDA has already communicated to the environment ministry there is no tribal life along the alignment of the project, but will now have to follow due procedure. The Rs 120bn, 32km link, will include a 16.5km‐long sea link and 5.5km‐long viaduct on land. This link – consisting of a 6‐lane (3+3) carriageway – will have interchanges at Sewri in Mumbai and near Chirle village at NH‐4B. Once complete, the MTHL is expected to reduce the current travel time of 90 minutes to less than 30 minutes. The state expects to float tenders by March 2016 and complete the project by 2019. Coastal road Last month, the central government cleared the final hurdle for the Rs 120bn, 34.5km coastal road by allowing the BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation) to reclaim seafront and mangroves. The project had already MoEF and CRZ clearance. With the notification being issued, the civic body can now invite tenders for the work and it can also begin work to reclaim land. The project intends to connect Nariman Point to Kandivali via reclaimed land, bridges, and tunnels, on the western coast of Mumbai. Of the 34.5km road, almost 12km will be constructed on reclaimed land over 168 hectares. Over 90 hectares of land needs to be reclaimed from the sea for the project. The Maharashtra government has set an ambitious deadline of 2019 for the project to be completed. Navi Mumbai airport In June 2015, all four consortiums who submitted RFQs for the Navi Mumbai airport, were declared as qualified by CIDCO. The four consortiums are – GMR, GVK, Zurich Airport (with Hiranandani developers), and MIA Infrastructure (with Tata Realty). The bidding process is expected to begin by March 2016 and the deadline for completion of Phase 1 (10mn passengers) has been set at 2019.

Metro projects in other cities in Maharashtra Nagpur Metro The Nagpur Metro Rail Project is envisaged to be 38.2km long with two corridors – North‐South (19.6km, 17 stations) and East‐West (18.5km, 19 stations). The total project cost of the 100% elevated project is estimated at almost Rs 87bn. More than 80% of the project land is already in possession and construction work has begun for car depots and a 12km rail section. The state government has approached JICA to fund upto 40% of the project. A number of multilateral funding agencies, including KFW of Germany and AFD of France, have also shown interest in funding the project.

underground • Line 2 – 14.9km long – from Vanaz to Ramwadi – completely elevated. Last year, the Centre had also given its approval for the project. However, due to opposition from local residents and political parties, for the line 2 being elevated, the DPR is now being revised to realign the line 2 – which is expected to further delay the project.

Valuations and recommendation Almost all of our preferred picks in the EPC space (NCC, JKIL, KNR, PNC) are trading at comparable valuations – perhaps reflecting that the market realises their similar stature and upside potential. In this scenario, what we recommend is that investors choose stocks that provide them exposure to certain segments (roads, metros, ports) or geographies (UP, Maharashtra, pan‐India).
Different stocks provide exposure to different segments and states Company CMP Mrkt Cap Segment State Investment argument Rs Rs bn

In line, we recommend PNC Infratech as a pure play on the opportunity in UP and JKumar as a direct beneficiary of the opportunity in Maharashtra. NCC and KNR, with their pan‐India presence, will also benefit from order award activity in both regions.

PNC Infratech Ltd (PNCL IN) Right place, right time INDIA | Infrastructure | Company Update
12 January 2016
Strong execution track record aided by strong balance sheet and WC PNC has a strong execution track record in roads and airport runway projects across various states (UP, Rajasthan, MP, Haryana, and Punjab). It reported 20% CAGR in topline over the last five years with 12‐14% EBITDA margins – much superior to most of its peers due to timely completion, with minimum time and cost overruns. PNC has also maintained tight control on its balance sheet – FY15 debtor/inventory days were 83/38, which translated into low leverage. In FY15, its gross debt was Rs 3.5bn, a D/E of 0.5x. We expect (1) the company to report robust topline CAGR of 25%, stable margins, and earnings CAGR of 33% over FY14‐17, (2) leverage to come down to 0.1x in FY17, and (3) ROEs and ROCEs to be stable in the range of 12‐15%. Order book focused on roads and UP – the sector and state of maximum action PNC’s current orderbook is Rs 30.3bn – a decent 2.2x book‐to‐sales. We believe this orderbook and huge opportunity in roads (both central state) will lead to robust topline growth. NHAI has plans to award ~Rs 2tn of projects over the next two years, with 70% of them under the EPC mode.
We see huge opportunity in the infrastructure space in UP and Bihar – evident from NHAI’s current bidding pipeline (to be awarded over the next six months). With a new government set to take charge in Bihar in December 2015 and state assembly elections due in UP in early 2017, we see the respective state governments’ focus on infrastructure development to continue. Fully funded and largely operational BOT portfolio PNC has a fully funded BOT portfolio of seven projects – six of which are operational. The equity requirement for the portfolio is also well taken care of. We do not see the portfolio needing any major parent support to fulfil DSCR requirements. Leverage to remain under control Using the QIP proceeds to repay debt, PNC’s gross debt has already come down to Rs 910mn in 1QFY16 from Rs 3.5bn in 4QFY15. Over the next three years, we expect PNC’s leverage to come down to 0.1x D/E from 0.5x in FY15. The company is likely to maintain a tight control on its working capital, as it restricts itself to bidding projects in its catchment area (UP and neighbouring states). Significant rerating potential for non‐leveraged companies in the sector Our analysis of the average and peak multiples of infrastructure stocks in the last cycle (2007‐11) shows that current valuations are at significant discounts to ones in the last cycle. Also, it is evident from the stock returns of last 12‐15 months that the market is only willing to reward companies with lean balance sheets this time. We see PNC being one of the ‘rewardees’ as it actively deleverages its balance sheet. Topline and earnings CAGR of 25% and 33% over FY14‐17; comparable valuations On our numbers, PNC is currently trading at 16.7x FY17 P/E – in line with peers NJCC, KNRC, and JKIL. As with the entire EPC sector, we expect PNC to be rerated on robust topline and earnings growth, driven by the huge order award opportunity in the infrastructure space. We maintain our estimates and continue to value PNC using SoTP – EPC business at 16x FY17 P/E (in line with our multiple for other EPC companies) and BOT at 1.0x P/BV. Our price target of Rs 610 (unchanged) offers 14% upside from current levels. We maintain BUY rating.

JKumar Infra (JKIL IN) A perfect growth story INDIA | INFRASTRUCTURE | Company Update
12 January 2016
JKumar remains our top ‘growth pick’ in the sector. Its expertise in the MRTS segment (having worked on Delhi Metro and Ahmedabad Metro projects) and huge pipeline in the MRTS segment is likely to lead to a strong topline growth over the next three years. It has seen a topline CAGR of 13% over the last four years and we expect this at 27% over FY15‐17.
Strong order book: JKumar is all set to spread its wings. It has a strong order book of Rs 40.2bn (including L1) – a handsome 2.9x book‐to‐sales, which provides high revenue visibility. Including the two contiguous stretches of the Mumbai Metro phase‐3 (MM3) projects that it has been awarded (Rs 52bn of orders), the orderbook would stand at Rs 93bn – an exceptionally strong 6.6x book‐to‐sales.
JKumar should be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the slew of large projects to be awarded in Mumbai (read our detailed report here). Apart from Maharashtra, it has also expanded its geographic presence to Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi.
Entry into MRTS: JKIL has bought four tunnel‐boring machines in anticipation of a surge in orders as more cities are expected to join the MRTS bandwagon. We expect it to benefit from its early entry and preparedness for orders from this relatively new segment. Apart from MM3, the company expects Phase‐2 of Ahmedabad’s metro project to be called for bidding soon. The pre‐bid meeting for Nagpur metro is also expected to take place in February 2016.
Focus on Maharashtra, Delhi and neighbouring states: The management continues to state that it is content to focus on orders from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Delhi. It does not intend to bid for MRTS projects in Kochi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, and Jaipur. It expects healthy order pipeline from Mumbai itself, where Rs 600bn of metro projects (Phase 2, 3, 4) are expected to be awarded over the next three years.
QIP to be EPS dilutive near term; value accretive long term: Having emerged as L1 in two packages for MM3 project, JKIL raised Rs 4.1bn through a QIP in November 2015 (for capex and WC) for executing its Rs 93bn orderbook. At the issue price of Rs 730 (pre‐split), the QIP translates into 17% dilution for existing shareholders, but would lead to strong topline and earnings growth in the longer term. We see the fund‐raising exercise as a positive for its long‐term growth prospects.
Outlook and valuation: We expect the surge of order awards in urban infrastructure (roads, flyovers, and MRTS) to catapult JKIL into becoming one of the leading EPC players in the next three years. Its strong balance sheet and superior margin profile should translate into robust earnings growth and superior returns for investors.
JKIL currently trades at 14x FY17 earnings, a significant premium to its historical average (7x). However, we see major rerating potential from current levels, as the company is likely to break into the top bracket of infrastructure companies and command a multiple similar to them.
We have revised our estimates for FY16‐17, on QIP proceeds (cash accrual and increase in number of shares) and slight moderation of topline growth in FY16. We also adjust our estimates for the 2:1 stock‐split. While the QIP leads to a 15% ‘optical’ cut in estimates, we maintain that JKIL will benefit in the long‐term. We now value JKIL at 17x FY17 P/E (earlier 16x) – a premium to other EPC companies (16x) due to its strong orderbook that provides high revenue visibility. Our price target of Rs 450 (Rs 480 earlier, adjusted for split) represents 20% upside from current levels. We maintain BUY.
