Later, the company also with interests in Construction forayed into the Cement business by setting up a 1mtpa capacity cement plant at Rewa in and EPC, Cement and Real Madhya Pradesh. Currently, the Jaypee Group is the third largest cement producer in the Estate country with an installed capacity of 18mtpa. In the Central region, the Jaypee Group leads with 26% market share followed by ACC 14%, Grasim 12%, Century Textiles 12% and Birla Corporation 8%. Whereas others account for the balance 28% of the market share.

Leveraging on its construction skills, JAL also forayed into the Power and Real Estate Sector. In fact, JAL is one of the largest private independent Hydro Power producers in India with an attributable capacity of 514MW (installed and operational capacity of 700MW). Thus, JAL is a diversified infrastructure conglomerate with interests in Construction and EPC, Cement and Real Estate, which contributed 51.5%, 39.7% and 7.3% of its FY2009E Revenues.

The states of MP and UP The states of MP and UP (Central India) account for 15.5% of the all-India installed cement account for 15.5% of the capacity of 175.7mtpa. JAL is a prominent player in Central India with a cement capacity of all-India installed cement 13.5mtpa. JAL plans to further augment its capacity in this region by 10.4mtpa, which is capacity of 175.7mtpa. expected to go on-stream by FY2010. JAL has a strategically located clinker capacity in Uttar Pradesh (UP, limestone hub) and grinding capacity in Madhya Pradesh (MP, one of the largest cement markets) on account of which its transportation costs are lower.

We believe major demand drivers for the Cement Sector in this region going ahead are immense with infrastructure developments including the Harsi Main Canal project in Gwalior, SEZs coming up in Noida and the 1,047km Ganga Expressway (to be developed by JAL) which are expected to boost cement consumption in this region. However, we expect cement capacity to get cluttered particularly in this region over the next couple of years.

Power: Hydro and Thermal Power Plants

JAL is the market leader in In view of the vast latent hydro power potential of India, JAL ventured into private hydro power private hydro power plants generation on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. JAL is the market leader in private hydro power with an installed and plants with an installed and operational capacity of 700MW (Baspa II and Vishnuprayag hydro operational capacity of power plants).

JAL has also ventured into thermal power generation and has plans to set up a thermal power plant of 1,320MW (2X660MW) at Nigrie in MP by 2012. We believe that the company's initiative of foraying into thermal power generation is sound as it has access to the rich coal resources of MP. JAL has entered into a joint venture (JV) with the Madhya Pradesh State Mining Corporation (MPSMCL) to undertake coal production and sale of coal from two coal blocks - Amelia - North (around 2.5mt annual supply) and Dongri Tal - II (around 2.6mt annual coal supply) to ensure coal linkages for the plant.

We have not factored in the same in our estimates as we believe that there might be delays on account of liquidity crunch, slowing demand and normal delays of setting up cement plants. We estimate JAL to ramp up capacity to 19.4mtpa by FY2010E from 13.5mtpa in FY2009.

Our house view is that the Post the proposed capacity expansions, we expect JAL to register a CAGR of 27.1% and Cement industry would face a 32.8% in its Cement Sales and Volumes over FY2009-11E, respectively. We believe that JAL's demand-supply mismatch internal projects, viz. the prestigious Yamuna Expressway project, the proposed Ganga over the next two years Expressway and its internal Real Estate projects would aid its volume growth, but not in a leading to falling capacity significant way. JAL has also been constantly augmenting its captive power capacity and is utilisation and correction in expected to continue to do so (from 89MW to 309MW over FY2008-11E) in line with its cement cement prices capacity to ensure uninterrupted supply of power and register higher Margins.

Our house view is that the Cement industry would face a demand-supply mismatch over the next two years leading to falling capacity utilisation and correction in cement prices (refer Annexure). Hence, in line with this we expect JAL's proposed huge capacity expansions to result in capacity utilisation levels declining from 70.3% in FY2009 to 66.3% in FY2011E. We also estimate realisations to decline by 4-5% during the mentioned period. In this backdrop we have assigned 7x EV/EBITDA multiple to JAL’s cement segment and valued it at Rs7,863cr (Rs66.2/share) at an implied EV/Ton of US $85.

Cement - Problem of Plenty

Top-line of cement India’s per capita consumption of cement is one of the lowest in the World. In this backdrop the companies is a function of recent attention that the Infrastructure Sector has garnered has resulted in the positive overall economic growth and whip-effect being felt in sectors like Cement, Steel, etc. However, this attention has not come to demand-supply dynamics, fore all of a sudden and is an effect of pronounced negligence towards physical infrastructure. whereas operating level Therefore, Top-line of cement companies is a function of overall economic growth (elasticity profitability is more a function factor of 1.2-1.5x) and demand-supply dynamics, whereas operating level profitability is more a of the raw material prices function of the raw material prices (read coal). Though overall outlook for the Indian economy, as a whole, continues to be robust in the medium to long term, the demand-supply dynamics would play a critical role in the near term. In case of cement for instance, even if the per capita consumption at 148kgs is low compared to the World average of around 370kgs, the sudden bunching up of cement capacities would lead to excessive supplies exerting downward pressure on realisations. Further, although coal (a primary raw material) prices are on a downturn, the Rupee depreciation vis-à-vis the US Dollar nullifies any effects as almost 60% of the coal used is imported. Thus, in such conditions it becomes all the more important to understand the demand-supply function (refer Annexure).

For JAL, of its total scheduled In case of performance of JAL's Cement Segment, it is indicative of the Central Region cement capacity expansions, the dynamics in India as JAL has a sizeable market share there. As of 2007-08, Jaypee Group had Central and Western regions a marketshare of 26% (Source: Cris-Infac, Cement Outlook.) The cement capacity in Central each would account for 31% India is expected to increase at a CAGR of 10% over the next five years. This cement capacity (8.7MTPA) of expansions addition should be looked at against the backdrop of cement consumption, which has risen at a CAGR of 5.2% over the last five years. This highlights the excess cement capacity that is coming up in Central India. For JAL, of its total scheduled capacity expansions, the Central and Western regions each would account for 31% (8.7MTPA) of expansions. The balance would be accounted for by the regions of Jharkhand and . This huge difference between the rate of growth of capacity expansion and consumption only highlights the drop in capacity utilisation and hence in the realisations per tonne. Thus, substantial bunching up of capacities in the near term and declining capacity utilisations have been factored in by us valuing its Cement Segment at lower than the Replacement Costs.

We estimate JAL to become a We estimate JAL to become a pan-India player going ahead and to be on par with the other pan-India player going ahead cement players in the country like ACC, Ambuja owing to which it would deserve the same and to be on par with the other multiple that these players command. Hence, we have assigned similar multiple for JAL's cement players in the country Cement Division considering that it is achieving pan-India presence. Further, in spite of the like ACC, Ambuja owing to strong medium-to-long-term outlook for Infrastructure Sector and in turn for cement, in line with which it would deserve the our house view we remain cautious on cement in the near-to-medium-term and have valued same multiple that these JAL's Cement business at an EV/EBITDA of 7.0x on FY2010 basis at an implied EV/Ton of US players command $85 which is at Discount to Replacement costs.

Real Estate - Bottom not yet

The Real Estate Segment is JAL's Real Estate business portfolio comprises two key projects: 1) Jaypee Greens and 2) The vying to be one of the major Yamuna Expressway Project (erstwhile Taj Expressway). We believe that JAL's expertise in contributors to JAL's overall infrastructure projects will help it to excel in its Real Estate Business. In fact, the Real Estate Revenue pie owing to its Segment is vying to be one of the major contributors to JAL's overall Revenue pie owing to its substantial pipeline of projects substantial pipeline of projects. However, we believe that on account of the ongoing slowdown in the economy, which has resulted in tight liquidity conditions in turn impacting the Real Estate Sector, it would be a herculean task for the company to achieve the same.

Currently, we are negative on the Real Estate Sector as we believe that there has been a complete shift in the business dynamics which would affect the growth going ahead. We see that Indian developers' business models will get more capital-intensive over the medium term, as end-users remain cautious and risk averse, forcing developers to fund increasing proportion of the project life cycle through internal funds. This would put brakes to the growth and expansion plans. Furthermore we believe that for the sector to do well, the macro environment needs to improve. For instance, Interest rates in 2002-03 were in the range of 7-8% and were lower than the current rates of 8-9%. Confidence level of end users has also taken a hit due to the uncertain job market scenario. Moreover, the IT/ITES Sector, which played a pivotal role in the earlier Real Estate boom, is facing a major slowdown.

We see that Indian developers' Historically property-market downturns in Asia generally last two-to-three years on an average, business models will get more and we see no reason why this downturn should be any different. Indian Real Estate market has capital-intensive over the faced a downturn for mere 12-15months and we expect a soft market to remain for at least medium term, as end-users another 4-6 quarters. remain cautious and risk In perspective, we believe that the current price correction is inadequate to revive the Real averse Estate market, and that it has just begun and would likely see further correction over the next few months. We also believe that a time correction will take place thereafter, before a revival is seen in the Realty Sector.

We have conservatively valued JAL's Real Estate business on NAV basis and ascribed an NAV of Rs7,794.1cr. It should be noted that we have applied a 40% discount to arrive at the NAV of

Rs1,078.9cr (Rs9.1/share) and Rs6,715.2cr (Rs56.5/share) for Jaypee Greens and Real Estate component of Yamuna Expressway Project (98% held by JAL), respectively. This discount to NAV is in line with most of the listed companies, which are trading in the range of 30-40% to their respective NAVs mainly on account of the prevailing weak macro-economic environment. Then we have deducted the negative NPV of Rs2,502.5cr of the Taj Expressway Project and the cost of land of Rs749.7cr.

The shift from being an project is integrating exclusive homes with a golf course, landscaped parks and emerald greens. investor- driven market to that The 18-hole Greg Norman signature championship golf course, which is also India's longest driven by end users course at 7,347 yards, 88 bunkers and 14 water bodies, makes it one of the premium and one of its kind projects in India. The project also offers 60-acres of nature reserves with theme parks. A 200-room Boutique Spa Hotel in collaboration with SIX SENSES is also expected to be started by FY2011.

We have factored in the total saleable area of the project of 8mn sq.ft., to be developed and sold over FY2008-14E in our estimates. We have taken the selling price at Rs5,873/sq.ft for FY2009-11 and a 5% increase in realisations thereon. We have not factored in any dip in the prices as the company has been able to launch and sell the project at decent realisations since its launch. Notably, the company has already achieved sales of 2.75mn sq.ft. at an average realisation of Rs5,873/sq.ft.

However, the Residential segment of NCR has witnessed a gradual shift from being an investor- driven market to that driven by end users. In line with this, the capital values registered a dip towards the latter half of 2008 by 7-18%. Hence, we have conservatively valued the project and applied a 40% discount to arrive at the NAV of Rs1,078.9cr (Rs9.1/share).

The Yamuna Expressway - BOT Project - A Wealth Destroyer

√ Project description: The Yamuna Expressway (erstwhile Taj Expressway) is a UP government project initiated in 2001 under the Taj Expressway Industrial Development Authority (TEIDA). The Yamuna Expressway will be a 165km long 6 lane Expressway (extendable to 8 lanes) connecting Noida to Agra undertaken by Jaypee Infratech, a SPV floated by JAL. The Yamuna Expressway is a BOT (Toll) project entailing a cost of approximately Rs6,000cr with a concession period of 36 years. The company has also secured rights for development of 25mn sq meters of land along the Expressway at five places on a land bank totaling 6,250acres.

√ Project status: Management has stated that 20% of the total work is complete and that the project would be fully operational prior to the commencement of the Commonwealth Games. We have accordingly estimated completion of the project by September 2010.

Key Assumptions

(a) We have factored the base case traffic of 20,000 Passenger Car Units (PCU) in FY2008 and assumed a traffic growth of 5% over FY2009-19E. For the balance concession period, that is, post FY2019, we have assumed 4% traffic growth.

(b) The toll rates per PCU per km are Rs0.65 and they have been assumed to be increasing at 5% for the toll revenue calculations.

Based on our FCFE model, we have arrived at a negative NPV of Rs2,553.6cr for the company's BOT project on a Standalone basis, which is in line with management's guidance. However, the company has bagged the land development rights of the area alongside the road, and expects to earn profits from the same.

Real Estate development - Bright spot

Development rights of the Development rights of the 6,250 acres of land at the five locations along the Expressway for a 6,250 acres of land at the five 90-year lease period is expected to cushion the Profits of the Yamuna Expressway Project. The locations along the land parcels are spread across five locations at -Noida (1,250 acres), Dhankaur (1,250 acres, a Expressway for a 90-year lease place just outside Greater Noida), Mirzapur (1,250 acres, near the airport), Tappa (1,250 acres, period is expected to cushion near the airport) and Agra (1,250 acres). Of this, the company has already the Profits of the Yamuna acquired 1,100 acres at an average price of Rs35-37 lakh per acre. The company intends to Expressway Project acquire the remaining land at an average price of around Rs20 lakh per acre. Management has guided that the total developable area would be in the range of 400Mn sq.ft over the next few years. However, we have conservatively valued the same pending land acquisition. We have factored in development of the land acquired in Noida (1,100 acres, 75mn sq.ft.) and the balance land at a 35-50% discount to the prevailing market price. The Noida land development is expected to be completed and sold over FY2010-23 for which we have factored in realisations of Rs3,000/sq.ft and Rs2,850/sq.ft in FY2010 and FY2011, respectively. Thereon, we expect a 5% increase in realisations.

However, we do not expect revival in the Real Estate Sector in the near future. Hence, we have conservatively valued the project at a 40% discount and arrived at an NAV of Rs6,715.2cr (Rs56.5/share).

We expect the various In conclusion, we expect the various headwinds to have a cascading effect on JAL's well headwinds to have a inter-connected business model. The Real Estate Segment is expected to garner increasing cascading effect on JAL's well share in the company's overall Revenue pie. However, the dismal state of affairs of the Real inter-connected business Estate Sector would constrain such growth apart from having a direct impact on the company's model Cement Segment, which derives almost 60-65% demand from the Housing and Real Estate Segments. Further, JAL's prestigious Yamuna Expressway project also has a substantial Real Estate component, realisations from which are crucial to make it a viable BOT project, as on a Standalone basis it is expected to incur losses. Moreover, an indirect effect would also be felt in the in-house construction orders as JAL's Construction Segment derives almost 72% of its share from in-house projects.

Construction and EPC (C&EPC) - Internally driven

JAL has vast experience in hydro power plants related construction work, having been involved in projects of about 7,880MW that have already been commissioned. Moreover, JAL is also one of the few players in the Construction industry with the ability to execute hydro power projects on an EPC basis. JAL has to its credit almost 52% of the total hydro power related construction work done in the space.

JAL's C&EPC Order book stands at a high of Rs11,000cr projects excluding projects that are yet to achieve financial closure. Importantly, a substantial 72% of the Orders are captive as they are generated internally from the company's Cement, Real Estate and Power Divisions. Thus, the Segment is highly dependent on the performance of its other Divisions. In line with this, with the company's Cement and Real Estate Divisions unlikely to register impressive performance owing to the ongoing slowdown, we expect performance of the C&EPC Division also to get impacted going ahead.

Power - A ‘Clean Power packed' Vertical

JAL is the largest private JAL is the largest private hydro power operator in the country, with Baspa-II (300MW) and hydro power operator in the Vishnuprayag (400MW) having an attributable capacity of 514MW. Going ahead, JAL plans to country augment its Power Portfolio to 5,945MW including both Hydro and Thermal power projects. However, we believe that the company has set for itself an aggressive target and the expansion is expected to come on stream beyond FY2015-16.

Power plants in the pipeline - the latent potential

Most of the power plants in JAL has plans to develop well-diversified PPAs and merchant-based power plants. The the pipeline are yet to achieve merchant-based power plants clock high Return Ratios especially when demand outstrips financial closure and hence supply, which is currently being witnessed in India. Hence, as a strategy, JAL is setting up we have not factored the same merchant-based power plants to capture the market upside. Of the company's total 5,945MW power plants (operational, under construction and under financial closure), the ratio between PPA and merchant-based power plants is 31:69. We believe that JAL will have a good mix of power capacity to reap the benefits of a favourable environment in the long run. However, most of these power plants in the pipeline are yet to achieve financial closure and hence we have not factored the same.

Capacity Expansion+ Stretched Balance Sheet+ Slowing Demand = Ominous Signs

JAL has been in businesses (C&EPC+Cement+Power), which generated consistent cash flows. However, in recent times, it has ventured into Sectors (Real Estate + BOT), which are cash guzzlers and stretched its Balance Sheet. The company has also substantially expanded in the Cement Sector, which we expect will face an excess supply scenario thus affecting the company's overall profitability. Hence, we expect JAL's Debt/ Equity ratio to be 1.9x in FY2011E. Increased capacity, stretched Balance Sheet and the ongoing slowdown in the mentioned Sectors are some of the challenges that JAL would have to combat going ahead.

JAL has ventured into projects with long gestation periods with no near-term Revenue visibility and which are expected to eat into the Cash flows of its other divisions. We see street factoring/ valuing in the substantial pipeline of projects beyond FY2011. We have however, been conservative and factored in only projects that have achieved financial closure/are under construction. Thus, we see the positives already factored into the current valuations.

Amalgamation not factored in

The Amalgamation rationale and share swap ratio

The Jaypee Group has proposed amalgamation of Jaypee Cement (JCL), Gujarat Anjan Cement (GACL), Jaypee Hotels (JHL) and Jaiprakash Enterprises (JEL) with JAL effective April 1, 2009. Post the merger, 21.8cr new equity shares would be added. Following this scheme of amalgamation, promoters' stake would reduce to 39% from current levels of 45%. The company's Earnings would also get diluted post the merger scheme as it is planning to transfer the cross-holding to a trust instead of cancelling it. This scheme though approved by individual group firm shareholders awaits approval from the High Court. Hence, we have not factored in the increased equity base in our estimates and its effect on EPS.

We believe this is an opportunity that purpose of FCCB buyback JAL proposes to seize. Hence, JAL has raised ECBs to the tune of US $100mn for the FCCB buyback.These funds have been raised at rate of Libor+450bp. JAL recently bought back bonds of US $37mn from the third tranche of FCCBs, representing 9.25% of the FCCB amount. Though the buyback is of a small quantum compared to the total outstanding FCCBs, we believe that this is a step in the right direction in de-leveraging its Balance Sheet. However, we have not factored in any further buyback of FCCBs as it would difficult to gauge the quantum and price for the same, but we believe that any move in this direction would benefit JAL.

Margins have also being an integrated player been on the higher side as the Hydro Power projects executed by JAL in the C&EPC space and development of virgin lands enjoys higher margins. We expect the company to continue to enjoy higher Margins than industry going ahead, albeit post a marginal decline to 28.6% levels in FY2011E, mainly on account of the expected dip in realisations for the Cement Division. We estimate JAL to post 31.9% CAGR in Operating Profits to Rs3,222.8cr in FY2011E from Rs1,852.9cr in FY2009.

Upside risks to our recommendation

Revival in Real Estate market

We estimate the Real Estate We estimate the Real Estate Segment to contribute a mere 14.3% of Total Revenues in FY2011E Segment to contribute a mere in spite of JAL having one of the largest land banks in the country. This is because the Segment 14.3% of Total Revenues in is bearing the brunt of a weak macroeconomic scenario and we do not expect any near-term FY2011E in spite of JAL revival in the Segment. It should also be noted most of JAL's upcoming projects are in the having one of the largest land Premium Segment where we see a major slow down going ahead compared to the Mid-income banks in the country Housing Segment. In line with this, we have assumed volumes to be on the lower side and have also not factored in projects where construction work is yet to commence. As a result, our estimates for the Segment are much lower than street estimates for this Segment. If the Real Estate market improves or JAL is able to get the better of the current slowdown, it could fetch better valuation posing an upside risk to our recommendation.

Additional Cement supply getting absorbed

We estimate JAL's overall JAL has big time expansion plans lined up for its Cement Division to cater to the major markets cement capacity to increase in India. We estimate JAL's overall cement capacity to increase from 13.5mtpa to 25.2mtpa from 13.5mtpa to 25.5mtpa over FY2009-11E as against management's guidance of 32.8mtpa. Cement consumption over FY2008-10E as against depends on the off-take by the Real Estate Segment, which is evident from the 60-65% of total management's guidance of supplies to the Segment. Prior-than-expected revival in the Real Estate market would tend to 25.0mtpa overcome our apprehension of Excess Supply over Demand (Cement Sector) and would lead to higher capacity utilisation along with stable/higher realisations as against our expectation of lower capacity utilisation and decline in realisations. This scenario would augur well for the enhanced cement capacity of JAL.

Promoters subscribing to balance warrants - deleveraging the Balance Sheet

In case the promoters JAL has issued five crore equity warrants to its promoter group company - Jaypee Ventures subscribe to the remaining Private Limited. The warrants would be converted at Rs397. The promoter group has already warrants, it would result in converted 1cr warrants. However, we have assumed that remaining warrants will not be Equity infusion of Rs1,270.4cr, converted being widely out of money. In case the promoters subscribe to the remaining reduction in debt and better warrants, it would result in Equity infusion of Rs1,270.4cr, reduction in debt and better debt/ debt/equity ratio. and would equity ratio. This would also save on Interest costs by Rs120-130cr. It would also lend a boost also lend a boost to sentiment to sentiment and trigger positive movement for the stock on the bourses. and trigger positive movement for the stock on the bourses

However, continued efforts are required to create an environment of the government and private enabling and sustainable growth. For that to happen, as the Asian tigers and China have ably players is expected to be demonstrated, concentrated focus on infrastructure is necessary. We believe that it is the only major drivers of growth for the way India can address the concerns of domestic and international interested parties without Infrastructure players in India losing any of the momentum that its economy has acquired in recent years. going ahead High growth opportunities in the Indian Infrastructure Sector

Increasing levels of investment in the Infrastructure Sector by both the government and private players is expected to be major drivers of growth for the Infrastructure players in India going ahead. The government has taken various steps to encourage huge investments in the Infrastructure space including plans to set up SEZs at various locations in India and providing economic benefits to Private Sector players for projects executed on BOT or Annuity basis.

India v/s China: Compared to neighbouring China, India is a laggard in infrastructure spending. China spends seven times more than India on infrastructure, in absolute terms. In FY2008, China spent US $201bn (9% of GDP) compared to US $65bn spent by India (5.8% of GDP). Overall, with estimated investments of over $500bn in the Indian Infrastructure Sector over the next 4-5 years, we expect opportunities in the Sector to increase. Infrastructure players like JAL stand to benefit from the growing opportunities in infrastructure development in India by leveraging its expertise in the Power, Construction and Real Estate Sectors along with identifying new prospects for growth.

We have valued JAL's Power projects - operational - by discounting the free cash to equity to arrive at the project value. For plants under construction and those that have achieved financial closure, we have valued them on P/BV basis. The power projects that are at the planning stage and yet to achieve financial closure have not been factored in by us. Considering that these projects are at a nascent stage, according to us the FCFE/P/BV methodology will unnecessarily shore up valuations of the projects. We would upgrade our SPV valuation on getting better clarity. Hence, we have not valued projects of 4,245MW, which have still to achieve financial closure. The operational power projects have been valued at Rs13.8/share, while the power projects under construction fetch Rs13.3/share.

We have valued JAL's Real Estate initiative at Rs34.1/share, which is much below consensus.

The Hospitality Segment essentially comprises listed entity, Jaypee Hotels in which JAL holds 72% stake. JAL's Hospitality Segment has been valued based on Market Capitalisation. The Segment contributes Rs3.5 to our Target Price.

We have not considered the Ganga Expressway Project in our valuations, as it has not achieved financial closure. However, we believe that timely progress on this front will significantly add to the company's overall valuations.

The growth of the Cement Cement by its very nature is a low-value high-volume business, which makes it nothing less companies is closely linked to than a Commodity business. The industry derives its demand from sectors like Housing and GDP growth and how well the Real Estate and Infrastructure Development which in turn rely on the overall economic activity. economy is fairing These sectors contribute 60-65% and 20-22% respectively, to the overall Cement demand in the country. Thus, growth of the Cement companies is closely linked to GDP growth and how well the economy is fairing. Historically, cement demand to GDP has an elasticity factor in the range of 1.1-1.5x.

We believe bunching up of A huge untapped market, cheap labour and the governments renewed focus on domestic capacities over FY2008-11E infrastructure development to pump prime the slowing economy serves as a trigger for Cement will result in gross capacity demand in the long run. However, we believe bunching up of capacities over FY2008-11E will exceeding incremental result in gross capacity exceeding incremental demand. demand We estimate capacities of 69.2mtpa to be in place in FY2009E and FY2010E taking the total installed capacity to 245mtpa levels from current levels of 175.7mtpa. It may be noted here that our capacity addition estimates are on the lower side compared to street estimates and is post factoring in contemporary issues relating to the prevailing global financial crisis.

Excess installed capacity Against this backdrop, it is of vital importance to study the supply-side factors as with a slowing continues to serve as a drag economy capacities cannot be shutdown overnight to make good of the new Excess till the time demand in the Supply- shortened Demand equation. Also, excess installed capacity continues to serve as a underlying sectors (read Real drag till the time demand in the underlying sectors (read Real estate) picks up, which we don't estate) picks up expect to happen in the near future.

Besides, factors concerning demand and decreasing realisations, higher Operating expenses took their toll on the Operating Profitability of the Cement industry in FY2009. Power & Fuel and Freight are the major cost drivers in the Cement industry accounting for 23% and 20% of the total production cost. Power costs of a company depends on the proportion of bought out and captive power whereas transportation cost is a function of proximity to the market and spread of clinker and grinding facilities. We believe that JAL would do well on these fronts as it has captive power plants on most of its cement facilities and has strategically located clinker and grinding facilities.

The pain is expected to be To conclude: Amidst the prevailing downturn in the economy, we expect cement demand to be acute and prolonged affected. In fact, the pain is expected to be acute and prolonged considering that nearly all the considering that nearly all the players in the industry have carried out huge capacity expansions. Therefore, we estimate the players in the industry have same to have a negative impact on capacity utilisations even as overall volumes grow. We carried out huge capacity believe that such expected over capacity would lead to lower capacity utilisation, stiff expansions competition and hence under cutting. For JAL however, we have factored in a mere 4-5% drop in realisations as we believe that the company has set up most of its capacities in Tax free zones, which would allow it to stay competitive and achieve volume growth.

However, considering that demand in the Cement Sector is in the form of derived demand and the major underlying sectors (read Real Estate) are experiencing strong headwinds, we are conservative on the Cement Sector's contribution to the company's overall valuation.

Power Industry

India has the fifth largest 'Power', the lifeline of an economy forms an integral part of the infrastructure development plan power generation volume in of any country. India has the fifth largest power generation volume in the World and has an the world and has an installed installed power capacity of 1,47,715MW or 147GW (as of February 28, 2009). Here it is vital to power capacity of 147GW guage the quantum of population that this Power base supports. Thus, it is in this context that the metrics of per capita power consumption is helpful along with the average and peak power deficit that the country experiences.

India has a peak power deficit of 13.8% and average power deficit of 11.0%. This is in spite of per capita consumption (631units) being at 1/4th the world's average (2,490units). Peak demand for power is expected to post a CAGR of 7.8% in the Eleventh Five-year Plan. This is suggestive of the real dearth that exists in the Power space.

The GoI plans to bridge this power deficit by setting up Power capacities of 68,869MW over the Eleventh Five-year Plan. The proposed source through which this power target is expected to be achieved shows increasing share of Hydro Power in the entire scheme of things to 22.6%.

'Hydro Power' - En-cashing the free flowing energy

Hydro Power plants have Hydroelectric power plants rely on natural water flow to generate electricity, there are no relatively long gestation specific raw material costs and therefore they are not exposed to market fluctuations in raw periods and are hence material prices (read coal). Hydroelectric projects also have lower operation and maintenance associated with project delays expenditure compared to other power projects. The only caveat here is that Hydro-Power plants due to unforeseen natural/ have relatively long gestation periods and are hence associated with project delays due to geological calamities unforeseen natural/geological calamities. Moreover, with hydro power generation the company also gets to trade in Carbon credits that serve as an additional source of income for companies in this space.

NCR market

We expect prices to correct We are bearish on the NCR property market as it is expected to witness acute oversupply of across segments by 30-40% in Residential and Commercial space over FY2009-11E. Hence, we expect prices to correct across CY2009 itself segments by 30-40% in CY2009 itself. Most ongoing projects in the NCR are skewed towards big ticket-size premium housing, while maximum demand is in the sub-Rs4mn segment. Hence, most listed developers such as DLF, Unitech and India bulls Real Estate have launched new smaller ticket sizes projects and at reduced rates.

Owing to slackening investor Residential Segment: We expect the NCR Residential property market to correct by 30-40% interest and speculators due to oversupply. We believe a 30-40% fall in the residential prices in the NCR region, exiting the market, developers especially in Gurgaon, Noida and Greater Noida, will bring back affordability and boost demand. across the region have Historically, the residential market in NCR mainly comprised houses where ticket sizes were in forayed into affordable the Rs5mn+ bracket while the premium projects ranged between Rs10-20mn. According to a housing in an effort to boost survey conducted by the Real Estate portal, makaan.com, in Oct-Dec 2008, maximum demand transaction volumes and cash for houses in the NCR was in the sub-Rs4mn category. Around 78% of the home buyers fell in flows this bracket and only 35% of the existing supply is available in this price category. Thus, owing to slackening investor interest and speculators exiting the market, developers across the region, including listed players like DLF, Unitech, Indiabulls Real Estate and Parsvnath, have forayed into affordable housing in an effort to boost transaction volumes and cash flows.

Assuming that around 50% of Commercial Segment: The NCR Commercial market has been one of the most affected post the balance expected supply the recent boom as it is saddled with oversupply of 7-8x the annual absorption rate. The of 114mn sq. ft. would come supply-absorption gap was apparent in CY2008 when only 8.5mn sq. ft. of the fresh office through in CY2009-10E, even supply of 14mn sq. ft. got absorbed. Moreover, as against the estimated supply of 29mn sq.ft. at a historic peak absorption in CY2008, only around 50% actually came into the market. Assuming that around 50% of the rate of 8-9mn sq. ft. annually, balance expected supply of 114mn sq. ft. would come through in CY2009-10E (which works out it would take at least another to around 55mn sq ft) even at a historic peak absorption rate of 8-9mn sq. ft. annually, it would 7-8 years for this entire take at least another 7-8 years for this entire supply to be absorbed. This clearly portends a supply to be absorbed further drop in occupancy levels of office space across the NCR region to 60-70% with

commercial rentals seeing further downward pressure. Also, it should be noted that the IT industry, which is the primary demand driver for office space in India, is currently witnessing a slowdown with companies either reducing staff or scaling back expansion plans. The NCR office market, which is heavily dependent on the IT/ITES Sector (the Sector accounted for two-thirds of absorption in CY2008) is also expected to suffer following the decline in demand. Additionally, existing tenants may also consider re-negotiating rentals and leasing periods or shifting their offices to more cost-effective locations. Amidst this backdrop, we estimate rentals in the NCR region to see a correction of 15-20% over and above the 15-20% correction already witnessed across the micro-markets in the region.

The downturn in the Retail Retail Segment: The downturn in the Retail Segment can be gauged from the slowdown in Segment can be gauged from construction of retail projects by major developers. It may be noted that although CY2008 saw the slowdown in construction supply of 9.6mn sq.ft. of mall space in India (Source: Cushman & Wakefield), an increase of of retail projects by major 17% yoy, it was over 60% below the projected supply of over 25mn sq. ft. at the beginning of developers CY2008 . On the other hand, the average vacancy rate in malls across India was around 9% in 4QCY2008 with the NCR market suffering the highest vacancy rate of around 25%. We believe that the high vacancy rates along with the expected oversupply would ensure that the prices would be under pressure in this market.
