Jaiprakash Associates Initiating Coverage REDUCE Risky Association Jaiprakash Associates (JAL) is one of the largest Infrastructure conglomerates in India Price Rs139 with a presence in varied sectors like Cement, Real Estate, Power and Construction and Target Price Rs112 EPC (C&EPC). JAL targets to become one of the Top-3 cement companies, be one of the largest Real Estate developers in India, have a Power portfolio of 5,945MW, and have Investment Period 12 months 1,212km of Expressways with tolling rights. Our estimates suggest that JAL would require Rs50,000cr of funding (particularly for the Yamuna and Ganga Expressway projects), which Stock Info we believe would be a herculean task to achieve. Further, achieving financial closure for all Sector Infrastructure its power projects would also be difficult. Moreover, considering the poor demand outlook for the Real Estate Sector and the challenges emerging in the Cement Sector in terms of an Market Cap (Rs cr) 16,437 oversupply situation getting created, we believe the going may be tough for the Beta 1.5 company. This makes us apprehensive of the returns from JAL's expansion plans and thus Initiate Coverage on the stock with a Reduce rating and SOTP Target Price of 52 Week High / Low 297/47 Rs112/share, implying a downside of 20% from current levels. Avg Daily Volume 5,149,225 Major Segments face strong Headwinds: JAL has interests in the Cement and Real Face Value (Rs) 2 Estate Sectors. We believe that JAL will have to tackle the strong headwinds that these Sectors are facing as demand continues to dwindle and credit availability remains weak. BSE Sensex 11,403 Capacity Expansion+ Stretched Balance Sheet+ Slowing Demand = Ominous Signs: Nifty 3,474 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. JAL has substantially BSE Code 532532 expanded in the Cement Sector, which we expect will face an excess supply scenario and NSE Code JPASSOCIAT affect JAL's overall profitability. Increased capacity, stretched Balance Sheet and the Reuters Code JAIA.BO ongoing slowdown are some of the challenges that JAL would have to combat going ahead. Street factoring in projects with long gestation: JAL is in projects with long Bloomberg Code JPA@IN gestation periods with no near-term Revenue visibility and which are expected to impact Cash flows of its other divisions. We see street factoring in the substantial pipeline Shareholding Pattern (%) of projects beyond FY2011. We have however, been conservative and factored in only projects that have achieved financial closure/are under construction. Thus, we believe current Promoters 45.3 valuations factor in all the positives. However, any under deliverance by JAL could weigh MF / Banks / Indian FIs 16.4 heavily on the stock price going ahead.

The company has a total Order book of Rs11,000cr, of which valley and hydro power 72% is accounted by captive orders, while the balance is accounted by external orders. projects on a turnkey basis Cement- Central Play 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.
