Coal India (CIL), MOIL and NMDC, have led to questions in the minds of investors as to which company can provide higher upside from here. We analyzed all the three miners on different factors categorized under the parameters of industry (market share, end-user dependency and mining tax), business (mine life, risk to volume growth, immunity to price declines and staff cost) and valuation (EV/EBITDA). Our analysis points out that NMDC could be a winner amongst the three. On the industry front, we believe CIL is better placed as compared to MOIL and NMDC as the company is dependent on the power sector, which is relatively stable as compared to the steel sector. However, the upcoming 26% mining tax will hurt CIL the most. However, it should be noted that CIL spends ~5% of its net sales (~18% of its net profit) on corporate social responsibility (CSR), which could be reduced to partially mitigate the impact of mining tax. Further, it could take some price hikes to partially offset the impact of mining tax. On the volume growth front, NMDC scores the best, as it is poised for the highest volume growth over FY2011-13 compared to CIL and MOIL. MOIL’s volume growth is at lower risk, as its mines are located in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, which have a relatively well developed infrastructure. However, even if NMDC misses its volume growth target, its volume growth would still be higher than MOIL and CIL as per our estimates. On the pricing front, we believe CIL and NMDC have an advantage, as they sell their products at a significant discount to international benchmarks. Although absence of government intervention in regulating manganese ore prices has given MOIL the leeway to sell its product at market-driven prices, we believe oversupply in the manganese ore market and huge inventory built-up should mute price hikes for MOIL over the coming year. On the valuation parameter front, NMDC scores over CIL and MOIL. While we have seen significant declines in the stock prices of CIL, MOIL and NMDC, we believe NMDC’s better-than-expected 1HFY2012 performance and robust growth prospects do not warrant a steep decline in its stock price. While risks to NMDC’s financial forecasts are limited, CIL could disappoint on the production front and higher-than-expected wage hikes could dent its profitability. In our view, although MOIL’s valuations are attractive, there is a downside risk to its sales volumes targets; also, the stock lacks near-term catalysts. For NMDC, despite robust 1HFY2012 performance, it is currently trading at a significant discount to its historical trading range. Hence, we recommend investors to Buy NMDC at these levels.

NMDC’s operations have also been affected due to Naxal activities. Although coal is a de-regulated commodity, government intervention is likely to restrict CIL’s ability to move towards market-linked price for coal. MOIL has the leeway to increase prices depending on market dynamics. Government Immunity to price We prefer CIL and NMDC as they sell products at a intervention is likely to be least, as manganese declines significant discount to global benchmarks. ore requirement is a very small proportion of overall steel cost. NMDC sells ore at a significant discount to 1) global prices and 2) marginal cost of production of Chinese miners. Hence, it is relatively less affected by the decline in international prices.

CIL has lowered its production guidance for FY2012 recently and lower availability of railway rakes could impact its sales volumes targets in our view. For NMDC, even if it misses volume growth target, its volume growth would still be higher than MOIL and CIL as per our estimates. On the pricing front, we believe CIL and NMDC have an advantage, as they sell their products at a significant discount to international benchmarks.

Wage revision for CIL was due in July 2011; however, it is still under negotiations currently. NMDC’s wage revision is due in January 2012, while MOIL’s wage revision is due in 2017. Considering the risks to financial projections, NMDC looks the least at risk. We believe CIL could disappoint on the earnings front due to lower-than- expected production and sales volumes and higher-than-expected staff costs, while we believe MOIL could disappoint on lower-than-expected sales volumes given the slump in demand.

  • India: Inventory of Estimated Budgetary Support and Tax Expenditures for Fossil-Fuels
    INDIA: INVENTORY OF ESTIMATED BUDGETARY SUPPORT AND TAX EXPENDITURES FOR FOSSIL-FUELS Energy resources and market structure India is one of the fastest growing energy markets in the world. The country is the world’s third largest coal producer owing to its large deposits. Coal is the leading primary fuel in India’s energy mix, accounting for 44% of the country’s total primary energy supply (TPES), with thermal power plants making up the majority of coal consumption. Biomass accounts for 25% of total energy use, followed by oil and natural gas, which account respectively for 22% and 7% of the country’s energy needs. Remaining energy sources, such as nuclear power and hydro-electricity, account for about 1% each. The country’s proven reserves of oil were 5.5 billion barrels as of December 2012; nonetheless, domestic production falls far short of domestic demand and the country depends heavily on imported crude oil. The state-owned coal company, Coal India Limited (CIL), retains a near monopoly of coal extraction, with over 90% of domestic coal extraction attributed to government-controlled mines. Most coal mining occurs in the states of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and West Bengal. Market reforms are being implemented to bring competition and transparency to the coal sector. The government has been grappling to get an effective regulatory framework in place, which includes the loosening of regulations for the coal industry, with the objective of moving some grades of coal closer to international market prices, and allocating additional coal blocks through a transparent open bidding process.

  • Ngo Documents 2013-08-14 00:00:00 Coal India Investor Brief High Risk
    High risk, low return COAL INDIA LTD’s shareholder value is threatened by poor corporate governance, faulty reserve estimations, regulatory risk and macro-economic issues. Introduction Coal India Limited is the world’s largest coal miner, with a production of 435 million metric tons (MT) in 2011 -201 2. There is significant pressure on CIL to deliver annual production growth rates in excess of 7%. The company has a 201 7 production target of 61 5 MT.[1 ] Coal India’s track record raises questions over its ability to deliver this rate of growth. In addition, serious governance issues are likely to impact CIL’s financial performance. These pose a financial and reputational risk to CIL, its shareholders and lenders, while macro- economic issues in the Indian energy economy pose a long term threat to Coal India. • CIL’s attempts to access new mining areas are facing widespread opposition from local communities and environmental groups. With its reliance on open-pit mining, access to new mines are essential for CIL to achieve production targets. G • CIL has grown reliant on shallow, open pit mining for 90% of its production, and has lost in-house expertise on deep mining techniques. N I • CIL has a record of poor corporate governance, manifested in rampant corruption, poor worker safety and repeated legal violations. This has, in the last year alone, led to penalties and F closure notices for over 50 mines, threatening both its financial performance and reputation. E I • CIL’s financial performance has been affected by directives from majority shareholder Government of India to keep coal prices artifically low.[2] According to one estimate, this cost R CIL $1 .75 billion in the 201 2-1 3 financial year alone.[3] The government has also taken away coal blocks allocated to CIL and given them to private players.[4] B • Changing economics of coal power in India; renewable energies are becoming cost- competitive even as coal faces increased regulatory scrutiny and public opposition.
