REFINERY SECTOR
COMPLEXITY AND SCALE ADDING PROMINENCEThe oil demand has stagnated in the mature markets specially in the USand Europe owing to global economic meltdown, promotion of fuelsubstitutes, intensive focus on energy efficiency and sustainableenvironment. However, in the long term oil demand led by non-OECDcountries, specifically China and India should compensate for the slackin oil demand from OECD countries. Indian players are adding refiningcapacity to match the robust local demand and improving their complexityfor better refined products to meet the prescribed environmental friendlyspecifications. We are positive on the Indian refining sector and initiatecoverage on it with a BUY on MRPL and an ACCUMULATE on CPCL.
DEMAND DRIVEN BY NON-OECD COUNTRIES: Out of total incremental demandof 5mb/d (CAGR 1.4%) by FY15, non-OECD countries are likely to account for6.2mb/d more than compensating the decline of 1.2mb/d in OECD countries.China and India should be the major driver with contribution of 2.9mb/d.
CAPACITY FOLLOWING DEMAND: With future incremental demand comingfrom non-OECD, ~95% of upcoming capacity of 6.7mb/d to 99.5mb/d by FY15 islocated in the region. China and India lead the group with 3.2mb/d of upcomingcapacity (2.3mb/d and 0.9mb/d respectively).
IMPROVEMENT IN COMPLEXITY: Matching with the rising demand for middledistillate and better auto fuels, Indian companies are revamping their facilitiesalong with capacity addition. Average Nelson complexity index is likely to increasefrom the current levels of 6-7 to 9-10 in next 1-2 years. Higher proportion of gasoilagainst Singapore benchmark makes a case for relative improvement in the future.
SINGAPORE GRM TO MODERATE: We expect Singapore GRM to stabilisebetween USD6.0/bbl to USD7/bbl after trading strong in 9mCY11. However, Gasoilspread is expected to remain strong which should support Indian players’ GRM.
CONCERNS: Current global economic uncertainty remains the major risk asvolatility in crude oil price, international GRM and USD-INR exchange rate mayfalter the performance substantially. Delay in project commissioning can impactthe performance.
VALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
We are positive on the Indian refining sector and we initiate our coverage on purerefining companies, with a 'BUY' rating on MRPL and an 'ACCUMULATE' on CPCL.Essar Oil is also set to benefit with increasing refining capacity and complexityimprovement, however, we are currently not rating the company.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYINDIAN REFINING SECTOR:GAINING IMPORTANCE IN THE ASIAN REFINING SPACEIndia, with a capacity of 193mmtpa, currently accounts for ~13% in refining capacityand ~12% of consumption in Asia. In the last decade, export's proportion hasincreased from ~8% to ~29%. Throughput capacity is set to increase by ~25% to240mmtpa by FY15, making India an important player in the Asian refinery map.
Strong domestic demand: Consumption of petroleum products has shown a CAGR of4.1% despite gloomy environment. Demand is expected to remain robust at ~6% mainlydriven by auto fuels. Strong domestic demand is resulting in ~80% in-house consumption ofupcoming capacities.
Improvement in complexity: Indian players are spending on improving their complexity toincrease their yield, meet the demand of upgraded products and to increase usage of lowcost sour/ heavy crudes. Average Nelson complexity index is set to increase from currentlevel of 6-7 to 9-10 in the next 1-2 years.
Product slate favoured towards middle distillate: To meet the future requirement,companies are increasing their middle distillate proportion and are upgrading auto fuelsquality to Euro III/Euro IV norms. This further puts Indian players in an advantageous positionas their average Diesel proportion in product is ~40% against Singapore benchmark's 16%.Robust Gasoil demand scenario across the globe augurs well for domestic players.
No major under-recovery risk: With rising crude prices and depreciating rupee, IndianOMCs are under risk of increasing under-recovery. In this report we are talking about purerefiners without marketing setup and hence there is no major under-recovery risk.
Increasing refining throughput capacity and higher consumption contribution fromstruggling US and Europe, coupled with gloomy macro environment across globecan result in unfavourable demand-supply scenario in near future. However, robustAsian demand, improving complexity and favourable product mix are some of thepositives for the Indian players. We are positive on the Indian refining sector and weinitiate our coverage on pure refining companies, with a 'BUY' rating on MRPL andan 'ACCUMULATE' rating on CPCL.

Global comparison
VALUATION COMPARISON
In order to compare standalone refineries like MRPL, CPCL and Essar Oil, we have includedIndian Oil refining and marketing companies (OMC's) like HPCL, BPCL, IOCL and RIL (IntergratedOil& Gas Company) in the overall Indian average. For the global average, we have build a diversifiedportfolio which includes refineries across different regions like Asia, US, Japan and Europe. Whatwe can see is that Indian refiners are trading at a premium to global refiners based on EV/ EBITDAmultiple for FY13E and FY14E. We believe that these premium valuations are justified on accountof expectation of higher average ROE for our universe at ~15% vs global average of ~13%. Recentcorrection in stock prices further provides an investment opportunity.

Singapore GRM Crude price
GRM TO STABILISE GOING FORWARDHistorically crude price and refining margins have moved together signifying crude as theproxy for end consumer demand. This has been true over the last few months as well withGRM hovering at highs of USD9-10/bbl inline with high crude prices.
To that extent, one could argue that outside of geopolitics, any demand led correction incrude prices could also have an impact on refining margins.
As we move forward, we expect GRM to moderate to the level of USD6-7/bbl assumingrelatively weaker economic environment. We do not view the run-up in Singapore GRM in9mCY11 as an indication of structural uptrend in refining cycle due to key concerns ofsurplus refining capacity and slowdown in oil demand.
Although Asian refining operating rates have typically been stronger than global averages,rates fell from a peak of ~89% in CY05 to ~82% in CY09. Even though it recovered in CY10/CY11, we expect utilisation rates to gradually slow-down, however, due to upcoming capacitytimeline; it should be at ~85% in CY12/CY13. As we move into CY14, surplus refiningcapacity will cause rates to fall further, which will in turn impact GRM as we expect it tostabilize at USD6/bbl.

BRIEF SNAPSHOT OF GRM DYNAMICS
In future, we expect Singapore GRM to moderate to the level of USD6-7/bbl on the back ofexcess refining capacity. However, strong demand from Asian countries especially Chinaand India, along with capacity rationalisation should provide support to GRM. We believethat diesel cracks should hold its strength as demand for middle distillate remains robusteven after taking into consideration increase in global upgradation capacity. Overall, weexpect India to trade at a premium to Singapore GRM on account of Indian product slatelargely skewed towards diesel and Indian refiners are incurring huge capex to improve theirrefinery complexity standards.

SINGAPORE GRM PEAKED IN CY11GRM driven by transportation fuel demand especially gasolineStrong Singapore GRM in CY11 was mainly led by gasoline cracks (Gasoline constitute32% in GRM), while most Indian refiners produce 30-40% diesel and 12-20% gasoline. Therelative strength in gasoline cracks therefore helps benchmarks more than it helps IndianGRM (with a resultant apparent company margin underperformance).
Spike in cracks in CY11 a function of other one-off eventsLibyan crude cut: With gradual recovery of refineries post the earthquake and Formosafire incident, margins should see some corrections. Also, for Libya, many observers seeexports reaching 0.8mbpd by year-end and full production by end-2012, accordinglySaudi Arabia to adjust production downwards.
Japanese Earthquake: According to IEA assumptions, Japanese Earthquake resultedin loss of 10 GW of nuclear capacity, requiring an average 170kb/d of additional oil-fireddemand. Out of Japan's total refining capacity of 4.6mbpd, around 1.7mbpd had shutdown. However, Refining capacity in Japan has gradually recovered and this should putsome pressure on margins.
Formosa fire: In Taiwan, Formosa's 540kb/d Mailiao plant had been closed since theend of July, when the seventh fire in a year broke out at the facilities. After shutdownsranging from one to four months at various facilities, FPCC restarted all its facilitiesduring August and September.

WHAT LIES AHEADNon-OECD demand to compensate for slack OECD demandOECD demand to remain sluggish
Recently, IEA cut global oil demand estimates by 380 kb/d for 2011 and by 700 kb/d for2012 in last four months, with lower than expected Q311 readings in the US, China andJapan and a downward adjustment to global GDP growth assumptions. In the long term,strong demand from non-OECD provides some offsetting support. Global oil demand isexpected to rise to reach 94.3mb/d (+5.1mb/d, 1.4%CAGR) by 2015 led by non-OECDdemand especially China and India (2.9mb/d).
Non-OECD requirement led by China to provide support
In the last two years, Chinese oil demand has grown strongly led by consumption in diesel,which accounts for 35% of total Chinese demand. We estimate that despite the refinerycapacity additions in China, oil demand growth in the country will continue to outstripincremental product supply growth atleast in near term (2012/13), thereby keeping thedomestic demand-supply balance on the edge, particularly for distillates.

Refinery closures and delays to offset excess capacitySurplus refining capacity to weigh upon demand
China and India are expected to add 3.3mb/d over the next few years to the current capacityof ~14.4mb/d which is much more than incremental demand expected over the forecastperiod of 2.9mb/d. This, we believe, will result in excess capacity in Asian markets andwould exert pressure on margins. However, actual refinery capacity additions have alwaysbeen 20-30% lower than estimates in last three years as slippage in new projects is becomingcommon owing to logistics, delays in acquiring land, obtaining clearances/permits andsome tightness in engineering chain.
Capacity rationalisation and delays to offset excess capacity
Though we anticipate a refining capacity addition of 6.7mb/d over 2011-15e, ~3.5mb/d ofcapacity addition is expected at the end of forecasted period in 2014/15. However, theseprojects are largely big ticket capacity expansion projects announced in Middle East (SaudiArabia's Jubail and UAE's Ruwais refinery slated for 2014), which are currently at very initialstages of expansion and run a high risk of delays even beyond 2015. Weak operatingenvironment and rising costs forced several refiners worldwide to close their refineries duringCY09-10, both temporarily and permanently.

Strong demand to support diesel cracksIn terms of volume, the largest increase in future demand is projected for middle distillate,with an increase of almost 3.6mb/d by 2015, from 2009 levels. This is because diesel isused in a wide range of growth sectors, including the key transport and industry sectors.
More than half of incremental demand is from the middle distillates while theyaccount for only ~30% in the current distillate mix.
Demand patterns point to a further move towards middle distillatesOverall, the medium-term outlook is for a sustained requirement to produce more middledistillates as a large distillate deficit opens up in the Asia-Pacific. However, a continuingsurplus for naphtha/gasoline implies gasoline/naphtha price weakness and a balance forresidual fuels relative to crude oil. This deficit should keep the middle distillate market tightin Asia, lending strength to GRM. However, the relative strength in diesel cracks would helpIndian GRM more than Singapore GRM.

Key drivers determining middle distillate demand1) Robust demand from transportation sector in emerging economies
Diesel accounts for almost 35-40% of consumption in China and India. China's dieselconsumption currently is ~3.2mb/d, more than 60% of which comes from transportationindustry. Oil demand in transportation sector is expected to grow at 6.5% and 7.2% annuallyfor China and South Asia, thus making a case for relative demand strength in emergingeconomies.
2) Demand also driven by construction and industrial activity
Given the multiple usage of gasoil, rising construction and industrial activities driven bystrong GDP growth rate in China will fuel the diesel demand.

3) Shift towards stringent sulphur specifications to drive demand for ULSD
Europe's attempt to reduce sulfur content in its road fuels, and its "dieselisation" of its carfleet, has long marked the region out as a premium place for ULSD (Ultra-low sulphurdiesel). Today, Europe's current road diesel to gasoline consumption ratio is 2x and isforeseen to reach 2.5x by 2015.
In order to meet this requirement, a total increase of 6.2mb/d of desulphurization capacitywill be added globally by the end of 2015. Most of the new capacity is likely to be added inAsia and the Middle East, with 2 mb/d and 1.9 mb/d respectively.
The retail price advantage of diesel over gasoline is likely to continue (diesel is currently~25-30% cheaper) because of sales tax differentials.
Globally, the current aim is to produce fuels with sulphur content below 10ppm, consequently,refiners worldwide are investing heavily to comply with such quality specifications.
4) Stricter marine bunker sulphur specificationsMarine diesel demand to surge owing to change in marine bunker sulphur specifications -International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has proposed a reduction in sulphur content inbunkers from 4.5% to 0.5% gradually by 2020. Realistically, to achieve 0.1% sulphur wouldrequire a move from using fuel oils to using diesel (Bunkers currently make up about 30% ofworld fuel oil market and % of global petroleum consumption)

INDIAN GRM SHOULD TRADE AT A PREMIUM IN FUTUREIndia's product slate captures the growing diesel demand
With demand growth most likely driven by Asian diesel consumption, complex refiners inIndia can continue to see higher margins and high operating rates, which should help Indianrefining stocks (skewed heavily towards diesel production).
Arab light-heavy spread to recover
Currently, the price differential is USD3.8/bbl much below the peak of USD10/bbl in 2008.High demand for middle distillate and low demand for fuel oil in cargo and bunker market willlead to modest recovery in Light-Heavy spreads. As Indian refiners upgrade themselves toprocess heavier crudes, a recovery in Light-Heavy spread will benefit Indian GRM.

Refinery complexity standards have improved
Indian refineries have undertaken massive investments in lieu of the worldwide trend of therequirement of not only capacity expansions/ revamps, but maximization of distillates, theirquality improvement and upgrading the lower value bottom products. As a result, the refineriesin India are incurring capex to improve their Nelson complexity from 6-7x to 9-10x.

INDIA - GAINING PROMINENCE IN ASIAN REFINING SPACEIndia's share in Asian refining industry has been consistently growing post liberalisation in1991 led by share in demand increasing to 12% from 9% and capacity increasing to 13%from 7% in 1995. We expect the trend to continue as more capacities are being added andstrong demand is emerging from transportation sector.
Export as % of production has risen to 29% in 2011 from 8% in 2001. India is running intosurplus (54mmt) of petroleum products like MS, diesel, ATF and Naphtha which are exportedto developed and other Asian markets where emission norms are becoming more stringent.This surplus is expected to increase to only 64mmt by 2015.
Given the product supply growth at 5.7% annually for the next four years, our calculationssuggest that consumption will not be a problem as domestic demand remains strong at6.2% CAGR which means that ~80% of incremental supply (49mmt) will be consumedinternally, thus providing immunity from soft global products market.

Demand for other products expected to remain strong
In India, transport fuels are clearly leading the growth due to the rapid expansion of personalvehicles and increasing volume of freight. LPG is also forecast to rise as we switch fromtraditional fuels and kerosene to LPG. Shift to natural gas has led to decline in naphthademand, however, in the petrochemicals sector, the usage of naphtha is likely to increase,as it offers a higher product yield than natural gas. Natural gas contains only a small proportionof the higher carbon fractions required for producing petrochemicals.
Refinery capacity expansion to cater to increasing demandIndia's installed refinery capacity as of 2011 is around 3.9mbpd (~193mmt) and this isexpected to go up by about 0.9mbpd (46mmt) by 2015.
Capacity utilization in India has been highest and this will continue to be ~95% to 100%considering the domestic demand for transportation fuel and high quality products thatcomply with international emission standards is expected to be robust.

GLOBAL DEMAND SCENARIODemand led by Non-OECDAn incremental 5.1mb/d is expected to add up to current oil consumption of ~89.2mb/d(CAGR - 1.4%) by 2015 which is mainly driven by Non-Oecd (China, India, Africa, ME andS. America) on account of favourable demographics, urbanisation and industrialization inemerging markets. Essentially this means that over two-thirds of this growth will come fromdeveloping regions such as Asia, with China witnessing the largest expansion.
China - a major growth driver
Out of the total incremental demand of 5.1mb/d, it is widely expected that 2.1mb/d iscontributed from China. The share from China has increased to 33% of the total Asiandemand and 10% of the world demand.
Demand for transportation fuels led by huge population and rising per capita income inurban areas, will continue to be the main driver for oil consumption growth.

OECD demand maturesDemand for gasoline is likely to reduce in long-term following high retail prices and the shiftto more efficient, smaller cars. Further, industrial demand for oil is also under threat from 1)high oil prices and 2) large US natural gas supplies
OECD's oil demand averaged ~46mb/d in 2011, up 400kb/d from 2009 levels, but projectedto resume its structural decline to the tune of 1.1mb/d by 2015. OECD oil demand has beenon a structural decline since 2005 and has already lost almost 1.4mb/d in the last four yearsalone. However, the drop was very significant in 2009 due to global economic crisis which isnow gradually shrinking to 44.7mb/d by 2015.
Demand shift towards middle distillateLooking at the product categories as a whole, the future demand trend emphasizes a shifttowards middle distillates and light products. Transportation fuel (2/3rd of incremental oildemand) provide impetus to demand growth primarily road transportation, followed by aviation.
Product-wise demandGasoline Growth rate is low because of the higher share of North America and
Europe in total gasoline demand (56% in 2009). Therefore, demand declinesin these regions have a large impact on the global picture, offsettingincreases in other regions with 1%-4% growth rates.
Diesel for transport Growing most rapidly in emerging markets and tightening qualityspecifications especially in Europe
Gasoil for heating Negatively impacted by the shift towards the increased use of natural gasfor heating and electricity.
Jet fuel for aviation Driven by growth in air travel market mainly in developing countries
Kerosene for heating Will continue to be displaced by alternative fuels in most regions
Naphtha Driven mainly by petrochemicals, volume increases in Asia, albeit from alower base more than compensating for the stagnant demand in OECDregions.

GLOBAL CAPACITY SCENARIOCan the refining capacity addition match with increasing Asiandemand?Global CDU capacity is expected to increase by 6.7mb/d to 99.5mb/d (CAGR - 1.8% and95% of this in the non-OECD), with further additions in upgrading (4.2mb/d) anddesulphurisation (6.2mb/d) by 2015.
Largest increase comes from China followed by other Asian countries (India specifically -0.9mb/d and Middle East - 1.1mb/d).
Middle Eastern capacities is heavily biased towards end of the forecast period, with theexpected commissioning of two mega power projects, namely Jubail in Saudi and Ruwais inUAE, adding some 800kb/d in 2014/15.
Refinery shut-downs in developed markets
Refineries in developed markets are facing tough times as domestic demand is dwindling,from 49.3mb/d in 2007 to 45.8mb/d in 2011 and is further expected to shrink by 1.2mb/d by2015, as energy efficiency and demographics shift continue. Uptill now, these refiners haveremained competitive by exporting surplus products to energy-hungry, developing neighbors,but have since seen steady declines as global recession and slump in oil demand coincidedwith a glut of new regional refining capacity. Thus, refiners had to drastically cut runs tosustain profitability and have announced closures and capacity reductions.
Refinery closures may offset excess capacityOECD North America Total N. American shut-down amount to 330kb/d.
OECD Europe Total 270kb/d has been permanently shut. In Feb 2010, French Oil majorTotal announced it will permanently shut Dunkirk plant. ConocoPhilips refinery(260kb/d) could still be closed due to poor economics.
OECD Pacific Region dominated by Japan where since 2009, nearly 400kb/d of capacityhas either been shut or scheduled to close before 2011, and a further740kb/d reduction has been announced.

Between 2011 and 2015, global oil demand is expected to increase at a CAGR of 1.4%,whereas global refining capacities are likely to increase at a CAGR of 1.8% during the sameperiod. Hence, refinery capacity additions outpace expected demand growth in 2010-2015period and global capacity utilisation rates are expected to fall to ~80%.
Utilisation rates in mature OECD market will remain weak till further capacity is shut, whilenon-OECD, and in particular growth centres of ME, China and Latin America, manage tokeep rates relatively stable.
In Asia, where significant capacities are added, less complex refiners will struggle to sourcecrude resulting in slightly lower utilization rates compared to current excess rates.

ARE THE UPCOMING REFINERIES SUITABLYCONFIGURED?India's refinery configuration has a fairly good share of cracking capacity. In mid-2010, India'sratio of combined cracking to CDU was 43%, much higher than Japan and Asia-Pacific butlower than the share in US (55%). The second characteristic of India's configuration is thatIndia has sharply increased its hydrotreating/ hydrorefining capacity in recent years to addressthe tightening specifications for diesel and to a lesser extent, gasoline.
A total of 4.3 mb/d of new conversion capacity will be added to the existing global refiningbase in the period 2010-2015, driven primarily by expanding diesel demand, most of thiscapacity will come from hydro-cracking units (1.7 mb/d), followed by coking (1.5 mb/d) andFCC units (1 mb/d).
The Asia-Pacific region comprises the largest concentration of existing conversion projects,with some 1.3 mb/d set to be located in the region. This reflects the general demand growthfor light products, including gasoline, and the need to incrementally process mainly mediumsour crude oils.

GLOBAL CRUDE SUPPLY SCENARIOGlobal oil supply is expected to increase from ~89.3 mb/d to ~94.2 mb/d by 2015, a netincrease averaging +1.2 mb/d annually. Incremental supplies are evenly split between OPECcrude (1.7mb/d), OPEC gas liquids (1.4mb/d) and non-OPEC total oil (1.8mb/d).
1. Non-OPEC supply will be mainly from high cost areas, for example, Canada (+1.3MBD), Brazil (+1.0 MBD) and the US (+0.5 MBD). Russian ESPO Blend will be adominant supply of crude oil in Asia, particularly the Northern Asia region after theESPO Phase 2 pipeline completes by 2013.
2. While OPEC crude is subject to quotas NGL production is not. Rapid natural gasdevelopments drive OPEC natural gas liquid (NGL) and condensate supply higher by1.4 mb/d to 7.3 mb/d in 2015, based on major expansion from the UAE, Qatar, Iran andSaudi Arabia.

Global Oil supply should become slightly lighter but sourer by CY15Output will become lighter as weighted average API rises from 33.2 to 33.5 as productionrises in Latin America, Middle-East and FSU combined with production decline in North seaoil. In terms of sulphur content, as more barrels of Canadian bitumen production reach themarket, available feedstock become sourer, reaching 1.14%. (IEA)
India's diversification towards African crudeIn 2011, only 18% of India's crude requirements were met by domestic production. Over 60-70% of the supply is met by Middle-Eastern crude which is mainly heavy and sour in nature.
Africa is also of reasonable importance as a source of crude oil for India, supplying 10-15%of requirements. Nigeria is the main African source, responsible for ~80% of African crudeimports.

CRUDE PRICE OUTLOOKEmerging markets in much better shapeNet oil demand is expected to grow by 5mb/d during 2011-2015 (1.4% annually). Demand ismainly driven by non-OECD countries, with China alone accounting for 39% of the total andother Asia a further 27%. OECD demand contracts by 1.2mb/d (-0.7% annually) led byslowing growth in North America and Europe region.
OPEC remains a driving force of crude supplyWe believe OPEC could support prices should they fall below its desired level (USD90/bb).Saudi's production has risen by nearly 2mb/d since the beginning of 2010 and we believethe kingdom would be willing to cut production by a similar amount to support prices.

Non-OPEC supplyNon-OPEC is the key to increase in supply levels as OPEC is the marginal supplier andtries to adjust the supply to match the requirements in the market. However, increases inNon-OPEC supply (+1.8mb/d by 2015) are likely to lag behind our estimates of 1.2-1.5 mb/d increase in global demand annually.
Seaway reversal leads to a sharp contraction in WTI-Brent spreadThe main reason for this was the sale of ConocoPhillips' Seaway pipeline to Enbridge andthe subsequent decision to reverse it. Seaway could add a potential 0.3-0.4mb/d offtakefrom Cushing by 2013, with the initial 0.15mb/d being shipped by Q2 2012. While this maynot seem to be very huge in terms of quantity, what it does is unlock the perception thatCushing is entirely land locked with no infrastructure to move crude out to the Gulf Coast.
We believe that oil prices will average USD100/bbl in the medium term. However, we alsosee an increased possibility of wide swings of upto USD10/bbl either side of this level as oilinvestors react to political and economic market developments which continue to face muchuncertainty.

GETTING BIGGER AND BETTERMRPL, a Mini-Ratna PSU is undertaking series of projects which shall makeit to the league of complex refineries. Capacity addition of ~30% along with~67% enhancement in complexity index should boost the future profitability.Full impact of ongoing capex should materialise in FY14 with partial benefitcoming in FY13. We initiate our coverage on MRPL with a BUY rating.
Ramp-up in Capacity: MRPL is expanding its throughput capacity from 11.8mmtpato 15.4mmpta with CDU/VDU revamp in phase-I refinery (+0.6mmtpa) andinstallation of new phase-III refinery (+3mmtpa).
Improvement in complexity: Post phase-III refinery, MRPL’s Nelson complexityindex should increase from ~6 currently to ~9. It will improve further to ~10 postcommissioning of ongoing polypropylene project. Distillate yield should increaseto ~78% with reduction in bottom products. HSD, a high demand productinternationally should contribute ~45% in the product.
Multiple incremental capex: MRPL is putting a Polymerization unit to convertthe Propylene produced in PFFC into high margin Polypropylene. With increasingcapacity and to decrease its dependence on Mangalore port, MRPL is setting up aSingle Point Mooring (SPM) facility with an objective to receive crude oil in VLCCtankers. Advantage of economies of scale, access to high acidic cheaper Africancrude and savings in demurrage should provide an advantage.
Concerns: Delay in refinery-III commissioning beyond Mar’12, undiversified crudesourcing portfolio (ME ~90%, Iran ~60%), volatility in crude oil price/ internationalGRM/ USD-INR exchange rate in the current weak global environment may impactthe earnings substantially.
VALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONWe expect EBITDA to clock a CAGR of ~26% from FY11 to FY14 despite ~58%de-growth in FY12 (on accounts of rupee depreciation). PAT is likely to show CAGRof ~18% for the same period due to higher depreciation and interest cost. At theCMP of Rs62, the stock is trading at P/E of 8.7 & 5.7 and EV/EBITDA of 5.9x and3.6x for FY13 and FY14 respectively. We initiate coverage on MRPL with a ‘BUY’rating and a target price of Rs88 based on 7.5x FY13E EV/EBITDA.

RESEARCHRESEARCHRESEARCHRESEARCHRESEARCH Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals
COMPANY BACKGROUNDMangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) was incorporated in 1988 as a JVbetween HPCL and AV Birla Group at Mangalore, Karnataka. Phase-I refinery with capacityof 3.69mmtpa got commissioned in Mar’ 96 and the phase-II came on-stream in Sept’ 99 toincrease the total capacity to 9.69mmtpa. Initial journey of MRPL was thorny as deterioratingfinancials resulted in mounting losses and Debt/Equity climbed closer to ~10 in 2003. Lateron ONGC came as a savior as it bought AV Birla Group’s stake in 2003. Subsequently, withdebt restructuring and capital infusion, MRPL had a turnaround and currently has the Mini-Ratna status. MRPL bagged the Petrofed ‘Refinery of the Year’ Award honoring performancein petroleum refining in India (operational efficiency, along with safety and environmentalnorms) during the year 2009-10.
Currently, ONGC and HPCL hold 71.62% and 17% stake respectively in MRPL. In 2011,through de-bottlenecking, MRPL increased its nameplate capacity to 11.82 mmtpa and hasNelson index of 6.0, which is better than India’s average.
PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
MRPL has operated consistently at higher capacity utilisation for the last six years averagingat ~125%. The refinery is designed to have maximum of middle distillate of ~55% with totaldistillate yield of ~72%. It also exports ~40% of its products mainly Naphtha, FO, MixedXylene and ATF.
CRUDE SOURCING PORTFOLIO
The company has the capability to process light to heavy and sour to sweet Crudes with APIgravity ranging from 24 to 46. However, the current crude souring portfolio is highly dependenton Iran. Around 3/4th of the current portfolio are high Sulphur crude.

STRATEGY IN RIGHT DIRECTION
Robust demand in Asia is resulting in capacity addition of refineries in India and Chinaregion. To remain competitive and to match with future requirements of increasing demandfor Middle (HSD) and light distillate (MS) products, existing facilities are upgrading themselves.Spread between sweet/sour and light/heavy is resulting in spurt of complex refineries. MRPL'scurrent capex is in line with future requirement as there will be an increase in distillate yieldalong with ~30% capacity addition.
MRPL is implementing various projects to increase its capacity and improve its distillateyield. Capacity of phase-I refinery will be increased by ~0.6 mmtpa through de-bottlenecking(under hook-up) and 3 mmtpa of new capacity will be added under phase-III refinery. Thecompany is adding new value added and high demand product like Polypropylene into itsportfolio. Due to under penetration and robust GDP growth, demand for petrochemical productsis expected to remain robust in India. These projects will take total capacity of MRPL to15mmtpa with Nelson index improving from 6 to ~10. Distillate yield is also expected toincrease from ~72% to ~78%. It is also setting up a Single Point Mooring (SPM) facility inthe sea of Mangalore Port area with an objective to receive cheaper high TAN crude oil inVery Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) tankers. Along with GRM advantage, SPM will also helpMRPL in diversifying its crude sourcing basket which is currently highly dependent on Iran.

DETAILS OF UPCOMING PROJECTS
CDU/VDU-I Revamp
Revamp of phase-I refinery to increase efficiency and improvement in yield to match Euro-IVrequirements got commissioned in Oct'11. Modifications should also result in higherthroughput to the extent of ~0.6 mmtpa from phase-I refinery. Total capex incurred in CDU/VDU-I revamp is Rs2.4bn.
Phase III Refinery Project
MRPL is currently implementing Phase III Refinery Project at its Mangalore facility. Theobjective of this project is:
Increasing refining capacity to 15.4mmtpa
To be able to process more of low price high Sulphur/high acid, heavy crude oils
Increasing distillate yield
Producing value added products like Propylene and Paraxylene
Up-gradation of its total diesel pool to superior (Euro III/ IV) grade
Upgrading low value Fuel oils
The project will result in decreased production of products like Naphtha and Fuel oil forwhich demands are steadily declining since Fertiliser and Power sector have reduced theconsumption of these fuels and are moving towards efficient and cost effective Natural gasoptions. The estimated capex for the project is Rs122bn and planned Debt/Equity is 2:1.Around 88% of the total capex will be incurred in INR hence cost over run is not expecteddue to recent rupee depreciation. MRPL will also get tax benefit u/s. 80-IB of the income taxfor the incremental profits coming through phase-III, if they are able to commission theproject before Mar'12.
Along with these units there will also be facilities like Hydrogen generating unit, Captive powerplant, hydrotreating unit and other offsite facilities. Post phase-III refinery, complexity should becloser to 9.0 (current is ~6.0) and after Polypropylene project it should be around 9.9.
The Project has achieved an overall progress of 88.5% as on 15th Oct, 2011. Progress hasbeen expedited keeping in mind the target of commissioning before Mar'12 and themanagement is confident of commissioning of major equipments in time.
Polypropylene project
MRPL is putting Petrochemical FCC unit of 2.2 mmpta capacity under Phase-III expansion.This has been designed to maximize the production of Propylene and should generate 450ktpa of Polymer grade Propylene. The Polypropylene project under implementation will havea Polymerization unit that will convert the Propylene produced in PFFC into Polypropylene(PP). Margins for MRPL will improve as a result of this value added products.

RESEARCHRESEARCHRESEARCHRESEARCHRESEARCH Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals
Robust GDP growth and lower per capita consumption for petrochemicals are expected toresult in strong growth of Polypropylene in India. Its wide range of usage like Molding products,Film & sheet, Fiber, pipes etc ensures demand from national as well as international market.As per various industry reports, global market for PP is expected to grow at 3-4% and Indianmarket is likely to grow at 10-12% in the coming years. Expected capex for PP project is~Rs18bn and is likely to get commissioned by end of FY13.
Single Point Mooring Project
MRPL is setting up a Single Point Mooring (SPM) facility in the sea of Mangalore Port areawith an objective to receive crude oil in Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) tankers. Thisproject will help the company in the following ways:
Lower freight cost due to economies of scale
Access to high acidic cheaper African crude
Lower dependence on the existing Mangalore port which is already congested and willnot be able to handle additional traffic post expansion and hence savings in demurrage
VLCC has capacity of 280-300 TMT against the current Aframax tankers capacity of 80-90TMT.

Current Mix (%) Mix in FY15 (%)
The company has received all necessary clearances from the Ministry of Environment andother Govt. bodies for the Project. Expected capex for SPM project is ~Rs11.5bn and islikely to get commissioned in FY14. Management is confident of saving in the range of~USD0.5/bl at gross profit after implementation of SPM project.
IMPROVEMENT IN PRODUCT SLATE
With implementation of Phase-III refinery project and Polypropylene project the distillateyield for MRPL is expected to increase substantially from ~72% levels to ~78%. Nelsenindex will increase from 6 currently to ~10 after these expansions. Resultantly, substantialincrease in profitability for MRPL is expected.
Proportion of Fuel oil should decrease sharply post capex from ~15% currently to <5% withincreasing proportions of better margin products. Another important feature of future slate isthat HSD should contribute ~45%. We have discussed in our industry section that GRM fornext few years should be driven by high quality Diesel and therefore MRPL is well positionedto take advantage of the situation. In coming years MRPL's GRM should trade at significantpremium to Singapore GRM which has slate skewed towards MS (HSD is ~16% and MS is~32% in slate).

ROBUST PAST PERFORMANCEConsistent higher capacity utilisation
MRPL had a name plate capacity of 9.69 mmtpa till FY10 which they have always operated atan average capacity utilization of ~125%. In FY11, the name plate capacity is increased to11.82 and then also Utilisation level is expected to remain at ~110%. The company is consistentlyworking on improving energy efficiency as can be seen in the declining trend of Refinery EnergyIndex (MBTU/BBL/NRGF). In FY10, MRPL bagged the Petrofed 'Refinery of the Year' Awardhonoring their operational performance among Refineries in India and was ranked 1st in "Mostconsistent safety performer in Refineries" for the year by Oil Industry Safety directorate.
Diversified Product marketing
MRPL exports around 40% (revenue wise 30-35%) of its products mostly Naphtha, MixedXylene, ATF and FO. In domestic market, sales are mostly done through Oil marketing companies(OMC). Company also does direct sales of small quantity in Karnataka and its adjoining states.
MRPL is the sole supplier to State Trading Corporation, Mauritius and supplies 1.1 mmtpa(agreement is upto Jun'13). It has formed a JV with Shell for marketing of ATF. Post decontrolof Petrol in June'10, MRPL has worked out its Retail Business plan to set up 122 outlets.However, in the current environment of high crude prices they follow a cautious approach.Currently, MRPL is operating two retail outlets (branded as HiQ) in Karnataka. The thirdoutlet at Mangalore is under construction.

Location advantage for MRPL- Cushion from future upcoming capacity in IndiaNo distribution network can pose some challenge to MRPL, as all OMCs in India are addingcapacity. However, none of the new capacities are coming in the vicinity of MRPL. So webelieve that in the current scenario of robust demand for auto fuels, OMCs will keep sourcingfrom MRPL as it will be freight advantageous for them. It can be seen from the chart belowthat most of the existing and upcoming facilities are concentrated on eastern coast andCentral & Northern India.
ROBUST FINANCIALS TO SUPPORT AGGRESSIVE CAPEX PLANMRPL is incurring an aggressive capex of ~Rs160bn, which will increase the gross block to3x from ~Rs76bn (in FY11) to ~Rs230bn by FY14. As of Mar'11, the company has Net Debt/equity at around zero, which provides significant leverage to the company. Around 70% ofthe upcoming capex will be funded through debt and even at peak debt levels, Net Debt/Equity for MRPL should be below 1.0.Strong cash flow from operations (CFO) further supportsMRPL's capex plan. In the last five years it has generated CFO of ~Rs100bn.

PERFORMANCE TO IMPROVE POST CAPEX
MRPL should commission the Phase-III Refinery by Mar'12 with which the throughputnameplate capacity will increase to 15.4 mmtpa. Favourable slate and robust demand augurthat company should be able to achieve 100% utilization level in FY14.
After commissioning of all ongoing projects, Nelson index will increase from current levels of~6 to ~10. With increase in value added products we expect GRM to improve substantiallyand achieve level of 9/9.5 by FY14/FY15. However, GRM will also depend on prevailinginternational environment in future years.
GROWTH IN PROFITABILITY
The profitability of the company is expected to surge post implementation of on-going projects.We expect EBITDA to grow at a CAGR of ~26% from FY11 to FY14 despite 35-40% de-growth in FY12 (on accounts of rupee depreciation). PAT is likely to clock a CAGR of ~17%for the same period due to higher depreciation & interest cost and ~37% YoY de-growth inFY12.

IMPROVING RETURNS
Post commissioning of Phase-III refinery (expected by end of FY12) and other two projectsthat is SPM & Polypropylene project (likely to be on-stream from FY14), margins shouldimprove substantially for MRPL. EBITDA margin should see a significant spurt as Nelsonindex for MRPL is increasing from ~6 to ~10. We expect ROCE and ROE to stabilise at~20% post commissioning.
LIKELY BENEFITS - NOT YET FACTORED IN VALUATIONS
Tax benefit u/s 80-IB: If MRPL commission the Phase-III refinery before Mar'12 they willget tax benefit under section 80-IB of the income tax. As a result there will be a tax holidayfor seven years for the incremental earnings coming from the incurred capex. There will bea capacity addition of 3mmtpa (+25%) and improvement in GRM for the complete facility. Alltogether effective tax rate should come to around ~24% and there may be substantialincrease of 12-14% in PAT.
Sales Tax deferment benefit: MRPL is in talks with Karnataka State Govt. for benefitsrelated sales tax deferment, concession on CST and concession on entry tax. If thesebenefits come in, there may be boost to GRM.
We have not factored benefits due to above mentioned factors; however, management isconfident of commissioning of CDU/VDU of Phase-III refinery by Mar'12. For other benefitswe are awaiting for the clarity from the state government.

VALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Phase-III refinery is likely to get commissioned by Mar'12 and other two projects (Polypropyleneand SPM) should come on-stream by end of FY13. Hence full impact of all ongoing projectsis expected only by FY14. We expect EBITDA to clock a CAGR of 27% from FY11 to FY14despite 58% de-growth in FY12 on accounts of rupee depreciation. PAT is likely to show aCAGR of ~18% for the same period due to higher depreciation and interest cost.
At the CMP of Rs62, the stock is trading at P/E of 8.7x & 5.7x, EV/EBITDA of 5.9x and3.6x and P/B of 1.4x and 1.2x respectively for FY13 and FY14.
We initiate coverage on MRPL with 'BUY' rating and a target price of Rs88 based on7.5x FY13E EV/EBITDA multiple. We have given slight premium to multiple (average1-yr forward EV/EBITDA for last 5 years is 7.4x) as full benefits are coming in FY14.At our target price, EV/EBITDA for FY14 will be 4.8x and P/E will be 12.3x and 8.1xfor FY13E and FY14E respectively.
Even on DCF, with cost of equity of 13.7% and terminal growth rate of 0%, fair value for FY13stands at Rs92/ share.

RISK AND CONCERNS
Delay in project: Project costs have already increased due to delay in execution. Anyfurther delays will severely impact the returns. Missing the income tax benefits u/s 80-IB willbe a major drag.
Un-diversified crude sourcing portfolio: Currently, MRPL sources most of its cruderequirements from Middle-East (~90%) with major dependency on Iran (to the extent of~60%). Any issue in sourcing from these regions may impact their throughput.
No supporting marketing setup: MRPL sells ~65% of products in domestic market mostlythrough OMCs. In the current scenario when all OMCs are adding capacity over the next2-3 years there can be increased competition. However, high demand for auto fuels and thelocation advantage which MRPL has provide some cushion against the risk.
Macro uncertainties may deter the performance: Uncertainties over global economy maycause volatility in crude oil price, international GRM and USD-INR exchange rate, whichmay impact the earnings substantially. H2FY12 results are likely to be muted on account ofdepreciating rupee.

AGGRESIVE PLANS, AWAITING APPROVALSCPCL has capacity of 11.5mmtpa and is one of the most complex refineriesin India with Fuel, Lube, Wax and Petrochemical feed stocks productionfacilities. The company is raising its capacity through revamp and lookingforward for residual up-gradation project to increase its distillate yield.Full impact of planned capex should materialise in FY16. We initiate ourcoverage on CPCL with an 'ACCUMULATE' rating.
Euro-IV upgradation: To meet the auto fuels Euro-IV specifications in metros(Chennai and Bangalore) and Euro-III specifications in other cities, CPCL is upgradingits Manali facility with a capex of Rs26bn. NHDT/ISOM units for MS (Jan'11) andthe DHDT unit for Diesel (May'11) has already got commissioned. Other utilitiesand offsite facilities should get commissioned by May'12.CDU/VDU-I Revamp: The company is enhancing its Manali capacity by 0.6mmtpato 4.3 MMTP by revamping the CDU/VDU. Project is expected to get commissionedin Q2FY13.Aggressive capex plans- awaiting approvals: CPCL is looking for Resid up-gradation project to increase the distillate yield of the Manali refinery from thepresent value of ~69 % to ~77%. Along with the distillate yield improvement, thisproject should also result in higher usage of low cost High Sulphur crude from thepresent level of 67% to 83%. This project should result in GRM expansion ofUSD2/bl. This project should be completed within 33 months from the zero date.Environmental clearance is yet awaited; however, management is confident of gettingit soon. Capex envisaged for the project is ~Rs32bn.Strong dividend history: CPCL has strong dividend payout ratio in the range of35-40% for the last six years (except FY09, when they had loss and dividend waszero). We expect similar strong trend to continue with some exception in FY12.Concerns: Delay in environmental approvals, volatility in crude oil price/ internationalGRM/ USD-INR exchange rate in the current weak global environment may impactthe earnings substantially.VALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONWe expect EBITDA to clock a CAGR of 4.4% from FY11 to FY14 due to 70% de-growth in FY12 due to rupee depreciation. PAT is likely to remain flat for the sameperiod due to higher depreciation and interest cost. At the CMP of Rs185, thestock is trading at P/E of 5.7x & 5.4x and EV/EBITDA of 6.4x & 6.0x for FY13Eand FY14E respectively. We initiate coverage on CPCL with an 'ACCUMULATE'rating and a target price of Rs215 based on 6.7x FY13E EV/ EBITDA.

DETAILS OF ONGOING PROJECTSEuro-IV upgradation: To meet the auto fuels Euro-IV specifications in metros and Euro-IIIspecification in other cities, CPCL is incurring a capex of Rs26bn at its Manali facility. Thecompany commissioned Naphtha Hydro-treater / Isomerisation (NHDT/ISOM) units for MSproduction in Jan'11 and the Diesel Hydro-treater (DHDT) unit for Diesel quality Upgradationin May'11. Other utilities and offsite facilities along with a new Hydrogen generation unit isexpected to be completed by Dec'11 and will be commissioned in May'12 shutdown.CDU/VDU-I Revamp: CPCL is increasing its Manali facility capacity by 0.6mmtpa by revampingthe Crude Distillation Unit/ Vacuum Distillation Unit (CDU/VDU) in the refinery to raise thecapacity from 3.7 to 4.3 MMTP. Total capex planned for the project is Rs3.3bn and was earlierscheduled to be commissioned in May'12. However, as per EIL's latest project monitoringreport, the project is running behind schedule and there may be a delay of 3-4 months.DETAILS OF UPCOMING PROJECTSResidue upgradation: CPCL is looking to increase the distillate yield of the Manali refineryfrom the present value of ~69% to ~77%. Capex envisaged for the project is ~Rs32bn. Alongwith the distillate improvement, project should also result is higher usage of low cost HighSulphur crude from the 67% to 83%. As per the management, the project should result inGRM expansion of USD2/bbl. Project should get completed within 33 months from the zerodate. Environmental clearance is yet awaited; however, the management is confident ofgetting it soon.42" crude pipeline: CPCL is planning to implement a new 42" Crude oil pipeline project tomitigate the risk associated with transportation of Crude Oil through the existing 30" Crude OilPipeline from Chennai Port to Manali Refinery. Expected capex for the project is ~Rs1.3bn andshould be completed within 18 months from the zero date (Environment clearance is awaited).New Brown-field capacity: The company has further plans to put a brown-field expansionat Manali Refinery. Pre-Feasibility Report is under preperation. The configuration for thenew refinery will be chosen in such a manner that the new units along with the existingrefinery should yield best output.STABLE HISTORICAL PERFORMANCEConsistent higher capacity utilisation: CPCL has two facilities at Manali (10.5mmtpa) andCauvery (1.0mmtpa). Manali capacity was increased by 1mmtpa in FY10. Manali facility isoperating consistently above 100% capacity utilization and is one of the most complex andintegrated refineries with three crude distillation units, Diesel Hydro De-sulphurisation unit,Fluid Catalytic Cracking unit, Furfural Extraction unit, Lube Hydrofinishing unit, NMP Extractionunit, Hydro-Cracker unit, Propylene unit and Petrochemical Feedstock unit. Distillate yield forCPCL is around 69% and the company has consistently improved on energy parameter.

Strong marketing network through parent company: IOC is the major shareholder ofCPCL with ~52% stake. MRPL exports around 40% (revenue wise 30-35%) of its productsmostly Naphtha, Mixed Xylene, ATF and FO. In domestic market, sales are mostly donethrough Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). The company also does direct sales of smallquantity in Karnataka and its adjoining states.
NEAR TERM PRESSURE DUE TO PLANNED CAPEX
CPPL has a capex plan of ~Rs51bn in five years period from FY12 to FY16, which willincrease the gross block to 1.8x from ~Rs62bn (in FY11) to ~Rs115bn by FY16. As ofMar'11, the company has Net Debt/ equity at around 1.1. Poor performance in H1FY12 andwith problems lying ahead, cash flow from operations is likely to be disappointing in FY12and should result in net debt/ equity increasing to ~1.5. Planned capex should increasecapacity by 0.6mmtpa (Q2FY13) and GRM improvement due to residue up-gradation shouldbe visible only from FY15/FY16. Hence the net debt/ equity ratio should remain higher at~1.2 till FY15. We have not yet factored planned brown-field expansion.

PERFORMANCE TO IMPROVE POST ALL ONGOING CAPEX
CPCL is increasing its Manali refinery capacity by 0.6mmtpa resulting in total capacity of12.1mmtpa (11.1 mmtpa, Manali + 1.0 mmtpa, Cauvery). Incremental capacity should comeon-stream from Q2FY13. With strong domestic demand, we expect throughput to increasesteadily and GRM should also improve post FY15 due to residual up-gradation project.
After commissioning of all ongoing projects, Nelson index will increase from the currentlevels of ~7.3 to ~8.5. With increase in distillate and higher usage of sour crude, CPCLGRM should trade at a premium to Singapore GRM from FY15. However, GRM will alsodepend on prevailing international environment going ahead.
PRESSURE ON PROFITABILITY
We expect profitability to remain under pressure in FY12 due to increasing interest rate,sharp depreciation in rupee and ongoing constraints at Madras port. EBITDA is expected tode-grew by ~70% YoY in FY12, however, there should be a steady growth in EBITDA fromFY13. We expect situation to be slightly different for PAT. After de-growth of ~67% in FY12,there will be recovery in PAT, however, it will remain under pressure due to increasingdepreciation and interest burden.

MUTED RETURNS IN NEAR FUTURE
Major portion of Euro-IV project (capex Rs26bn) has been commissioned in CY12 andremaining will come on-stream in CY13. However, along with increasing depreciation andinterest cost there has not been significant improvement in margins due to upgraded autofuels. This should result in CPCL's bottom-line to be under pressure. We expect ROE toincrease to ~15% level only by FY15/FY16 post commissioning of residue up-gradationproject.
FAVOURABLE VALUATION PARAMETERS
CPCL has a strong dividend paying history with payout ratio in the range of 35-40% for thelast six years (except FY09, when they had loss and dividend was zero). We expect similarstrong trend to continue with some exception in FY12. Strong dividend yield makes CPCL asafe investment avenue.
With correction of ~10% in stock prices in last three months has resulted in CPCL tradingat a discount to its book value. Currently the stock is trading at ~0.8x its book value onFY12 and ~0.7x its book value on FY13 earnings.

VALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Sharp weakening in INR against USD (~15% YTD) has resulted in heavy losses for refineryplayers in H1FY12. Oct/ Nov'11 development signals continuing problems. Adding to thewoes, none of the on-going or planned capex may add to profitability for CPCL in the nearfuture. Part implementation of Euro IV up-gradation has also not added to GRM. This maylead to problems in managing cash flows.
We expect EBITDA to clock a CAGR of mere 4.4% from FY11 to FY14 due to ~70% de-growth in FY12 (on account of rupee depreciation). PAT is likely to remain flat over the sameperiod due to higher depreciation and interest charges.
At the CMP of Rs185, the stock is trading at P/E of 5.7x & 5.4x, EV/EBITDA of 6.4x and6.0x and P/B of 0.7x and 0.6x respectively for FY13E and FY14E.
We initiate coverage on CPCL with 'ACCUMULATE' rating and a price target ofRs215 based on 6.7x FY13E EV/EBITDA (median 1-yr forward EV/EBITDA for last 5years is 7.4x). At our target price, EV/EBITDA for FY14 will be 6.3x and P/E will be6.6x and 6.3x respectively for FY13E and FY14E.
Even on DCF, with cost of equity of 12.5% and terminal growth rate of 0%, fair value for FY13stands at Rs214/ share.

RISK AND CONCERNS
Delay in Environmental clearances: Further delay in environmental clearances for Residualup-gradation and pipeline project may result in increase in Project costs.
Competition due to new refinery in Tamil Nadu: Nagarjuna Oil Corporation Ltd. with aninitial capacity of 6mmtpa is planned to get commissioned by Mar'12. This facility is locatedat Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu and is planned to expand to 15mmtpa in future. The competitionmay intensify for CPCL as ~80% of its products are sold in ~200km radius.
Macro parameters may falter the performance: Volatility in crude oil price, internationalGRM and sharp movement in USD-INR exchange rate may impact the earnings substantially.

INCREASING SCALE AND COMPLEXITYEssar Oil (EOL), an integrated oil & gas company is undergoing an expansionto increase its refining capacity by 45% to 20mmtpa. Along with expansion,it is almost doubling its nelson complexity which would substantially improvemargins and hence profitability. Foray into niche business of Coal bedmethane (CBM) provides an upside potential.
Capacity expansion
EOL is expanding its throughput capacity from 14 to 20mmpta with CDU expansionin phase-I refinery (+4mmtpa) and optimisation through de-bottlenecking (+2mmtpa).
Enhancement in product and crude slate
Post optimisation, EOL's Nelson complexity index should increase from ~6.1currently to ~11.8 which would lead to delivery of better margin products. Also, thecrude slate for EOL is expected to improve from 72% of heavy/ ultra-heavy to 87%of ultra-heavy crude oil.
Foray into niche Coal Bed Methane business
EOL has exposure to upstream sector through 100% ownership in two CBM (CoalBed Methane) blocks - Raniganj and Rajmahal. Test production and supply to endcustomer has commenced in Raniganj East (0.22mmscmd) with a peak productionof 3.5mmscmd expected over the next few years.
Concerns
Volatility in crude oil price/ international GRM/ USD-INR exchange rate in thecurrent weak global environment may impact the earnings substantially. Any adverseregulatory change with respect to taxation may affect profitability. Delays incommissioning of the projects holds a downside risk.
VALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Essar Oil is also set to benefit with increasing refining capacity and complexityimprovement, however, we are currently not rating the company.

COMPANY BACKGROUNDEssar Oil Limited (EOL) is an integrated oil company currently operating a 14mtpa Vadinarrefinery on West Coast of India. Although to a lesser extent, EOL captures the entire valuechain via backward integration (Oil & Gas exploration) and forward integration (network of1,376 retail outlets). The company has exposure to upstream sector through 100% ownershipin two CBM (Coal Bed Methane) blocks - Raniganj and Rajmahal. Test production hascommenced in Raniganj with a peak production of 3.5mmscmd expected over the next fewyears. It also has presence in other blocks (Mumbai high fields and Nigerian blocks) whichare still in exploratory phases and monetisation is not expected in near term.Essar Energy along with its subsidiary holds 87.09% of the total share capital of EOL. Themajority of the shareholding (~74%) is in the form of GDR (Global depository receipts) heldby Essar Energy's subsidiaries.
PRODUCT PORTFOLIOEOL had a capacity utilisation of ~105% (Crude throughput of 14.76mmt) and distillate yieldof 73% for FY11. Their main focus is sales in domestic market due to better price realisations,export products include fuel oil and gasoline. Keeping in mind the long term policy shifttowards de-regulation, they have a network of retail outlets across the country. However,they continue to have limited exposure to retail segment because of fuel subsidies involved.
CRUDE SOURCING PORTFOLIOIt can process more than 20 types of crudes including ultra heavy and tough crudesAvg. API (Density) -32.7, Avg. Sulphur -1.62% and Avg. TAN -0.27

Capacity expansion plans
EOL is currently undergoing an expansion plan to increase its refinery capacity by 6mmtpato 20mmtpa by 2HFY13 in two phases (Phase-I expansion to 18mmtpa and Optimisation to20mmtpa).
Post-expansion to 20mmtpa, NCI (Nelson complexity) is expected to increase to 11.8 fromcurrent 6.1.
As part of first phase of refinery expansion, EOL is planning to expand it's current crudedistillation (CDU) capacity from 14mmtpa to 18mmtpa and addition of addition of secondaryunits like Delayed coker (DCU), Isomerisation unit (ISOM), VGO Hydro-treater (VGOHT),Sulphur recovery (SRU) and Diesel Hydro-treater (DHDS). Most of Units & Facilities underExpansion Project achieved mechanical completion, except of DCU, VGOHT, SRU whichare expected to be complete Q3FY12. Finally, Ramp up of throughput expected duringQ4FY12.
As part of optimization process, CDU capacity is further expanded to 20mmtpa through de-bottlenecking (Conversion of VBU into CDU) and revamping of FCCU unit. OptimizationProject is on schedule (Progress - 63.7%) & expected to complete by Sept, 2012.

Improvement in crude slate and distillate yieldWith implementation of Phase-I refinery project the crude slate for EOL is expected toimprove from 72% of heavy/ ultra-heavy to 87% of ultra-heavy crude oil. Nelsen index willincrease from 6.1 currently to ~11.8 after these expansions which should result in delivery ofhigh margin products (Light/middle distillate)
Change in product mixProportion of fuel oil should decrease sharply post-optimisation with higher proportion ofvalue added products. It would also provide EOL flexibility to switch to light and middledistillates. As per management, Euro IV and Euro V grade will contribute 55% and 50%respectively in gasoline and diesel pool.

Foray into upstream business holds upside potentialEOL has exposure to upstream sector through 100% ownership in two CBM (Coal BedMethane) blocks - Raniganj and Rajmahal. It also has presence in other blocks (Mumbaihigh fields and Nigerian blocks) which are still in exploratory phases and monetisation is notexpected in near term.
Details of Raniganj projectTest production and supply to end customer has commenced in Raniganj East (0.22mmscmd)with a peak production of 3.5mmscmd expected over the next few years. Gas Sales Priceof $ 5.25/mmbtu + $1.00/mmbtu for marketing & transportation charges has been approvedby MOP&G for test sales.CBM IN INDIACommercial CBM production has commenced only from 1 block i.e. GEECL's Raniganj(South) since 14th July 2007. The total CBM production figure is expected to be around 7.4mmscmd by the year 2014-15.
Tax benefits supporting EOL GRMTax benefit u/s 80-IB: If EOL commission the Phase-I refinery before Mar'12 they will get taxbenefit under section 80-IB of the income tax. As a result, there will be a tax holiday forseven years on the incremental earnings from the incurred capex. There will be a capacityaddition of 4mmtpa (+30%) and improvement in GRM for the complete facility.Sales Tax deferment benefit: EOL also benefits from a sales tax deferral scheme by theGujarat government, under which, any refinery constructed in the state during the period1995-2000 is eligible for sales tax deferment over a 12-year period from their commissioning,after which the tax collected becomes liable for payment in six equal tranches. EOL hadalready availed itself of Rs48bn of this benefit by FY11 as it adds USD2/bbl to it's GRM.However, due to delayed commissioning of the refinery in FY08-09, the State of Gujarat hascontested the validity of the sales tax benefit. The Gujarat High Court has, however, ruled infavor of Essar Oil, and the case is now pending a decision by the Supreme Court. Nevertheless,the company remains confident of its entitlement to the tax benefit.
