Reliance Infrastructure’s EPC division has a strong order backlog of cINR196bn and we expect robust order inflow from R-Power and other nonpower sources. We also expect lower commodity prices to drive a 90bp EBITDA margin improvement (earlier 40bp) in FY10. The profit contribution from distribution and transmission should grow on the back of additional capex in Mumbai and increasing its stake in the Delhi distribution business to 49% from 26%.
Reliance Power Holding Value – R-Infra’s 45% stake in R-Power is valued at INR695 per share, or 65% of the company’s market cap. This comes to INR556 when we factor in our 20% discount to the current market value, this has been done only due to due to improved visibility on a number of R-Power’s projects. There will be increased profit contribution from Mumbai and Delhi power businesses.
Reliance Infrastructure (RELI) has secured two road project contracts: 1) upgradation and maintenance of Gandhivaram – Mundra port stretch (71 km, US$220 mn); and 2) six-laning and maintenance of Pune-Satara section (140 km, US$380 mn), over the past two weeks through the Build-Own-Transfer route. RELI plans to complete both these projects by end-FY13E. R-Infra is the second largest Roads Developer in India after IRB Infra.
