Though the markets witnessed odd days of marginal correction, the Nifty managed to sustain above the 10400 mark.
This smart resilience against profit-booking and selling pressure was due to the fluid fund flow situation viz SIP money
and FIIs turning buyers in the cash segment. It is important that the Nifty consolidates above the 10400 level for follow-
up buying support to emerge and in order to test the 10500 mark or move higher. Intermediate bouts of profit-booking
and selling pressure are likely due to overbought conditions.
On the downside, 10124 remains an important support level
followed by 9955, which is also a crucial support level.
In the meanwhile, the markets will take cues from the
earnings season, global markets, Dollar-Rupee exchange rate
and crude oil prices.
Technically on the upside, the Sensex faces resistance at the
33750, 34000 and 34500 levels while it seeks support at the
33300, 33000, 32325, 32000, 31610, 30921, 30680 and
29365 levels. The resistance levels for the Nifty are placed at
10462, 10500 and 10575 while its support levels are placed
at 10400, 10325, 10270, 10200, 10138, 10100, 10000, and
9955.

The consolidation of the market even at these levels is ample proof of the large appetite the DIIs and retail investors

Last week, we had raised questions whether the current rally will last the Gujarat/Haryana test. The market dismissed
this hesitancy in its moves in the last eight sessions. The market moved up selectively and the demand for select stocks

Official sources say that traditionally, pre-election Union Budgets are populist where fiscal prudence goes for a toss. But
the government also has to do the balancing act to ensure that the growth momentum is retained in the economy after it
fell to 5.7% in the April-June 2017 quarter. This has to be done in tandem with mobilising adequate funds to finance
schemes that affect a large section of the vote bank and help the government get a positive pro-welfare image.
To balance the additional expenditures, the government is working out ways to raise non-tax revenues like dividends,
PSU profits, revenue receipts and spectrum auction receipts to keep the next years fiscal deficit within the target of 3%
even on higher expenditure, sources said. The increase in infrastructure spending by the government is another vital cog
in the next budgets wheel.

Broad market indices dominate


By Hitendra Vasudeo
Sensex Daily Trend DRV Weekly Trend WRV Monthly Trend MRV
Last Close 33685 Up 33023 Up 31606 Up 29878
Last week, the Sensex provided the follow-up rise to the breakout witnessed two weeks back above 32700. The expected
level of 33600 was tested last week. The Sensex opened at 33260.10, attained a low at 33164.28 and moved to a high at
33733.71 before it closed the week at 33685.55 and thereby showed a net rise of 528 points on a week-to-week basis.
Daily Chart
The daily chart shows the uptrend, which becomes clear if one observes the line chart. The candle at times provides
more quality information of the price behavior but volatility could disturb the mind. The candle shows the Hanging Man,
which suggests that immediate support is at 33527. A fall below 33527 can bring about minor intra-week correction to
weekly support levels.
Overall, the uptrend is expected to continue with intra-day
or intra-week corrections to show strong candles overall on
the weekly chart.
Weekly Chart:
The higher range for the week could be 33891-34460.
Support during the week will be at 33527-33321-33164.
The 161.8% retracment of the fall from 32686 to 31081
was tested and therefore, intra-week correction could
happen.
On a further sustained rise and close above 33733, expect
the rise to test the weeks higher range. But the objective
could be to move towards the 261.8% retracement of the
fall from 32686 to 31081.
The 261.8% retracement level is at 35215.

Yearly Chart:
In the January and February 2017 issues, we had forecast the yearly levels for the Sensex. The levels indicated were
29637 and 36220. Currently, the Sensex is at 33685 and is now chasing 36220 by December 2017.
The years 2016 and 2015 were indecisive candles after the bull run in 2014. The year 2017 is the continuity of the same
bull run as a breakout above 30024 as seen on the yearly chart.
On the monthly chart, the October 2017 is a breakout above its higher top of 32686, which suggests continuation of the
momentum of the higher top and higher bottom formation from 22494.
The Sensex is potentially looking to test 36220Yearly Level 4 by December 2017.
Assuming the year end now, the year 2018-First level, which is Yearly Level 3, will be at 36130. Yearly Level 4 by
December 2018 is 43417. During the year 2018, if a correction is witnessed, then the Yearly Center point is at 31288 and
Yearly Level 2 is 28843. The focus is more on the higher levels. Expect the Yearly 2018 to show higher low and higher
high at the end of 2018 with a positive yearly candle.

From the year 2007 to 2013 broadly, we can see that the Sensex had outperformed. From 2014 to 2017, the Mid-Cap and
Small-Cap indices improved their performance relatively. The Mid-Cap and Small-Cap indices are on par with little to
separate. The role of Mid-Cap and Small-Cap indices is getting dominant and is likely to continue unless a catastrophic
fall is witnessed, which looks unlikely till Yearly Level 4 of 2017 (36220) on the Sensex is not attained.
Strategy for the week
Traders long can revise the stop loss to 33100. Expect the higher range of 33891-34460 to be tested. Intra-week support
point of 33527-33321 can be used for buying if the lower levels are attained first. Maintain the stop loss of 33100.

Domestic ad revenue grew 6% YoY (ex-sports, RBNL and IWPL) to Rs.9.3 bn, impacted by the GST. Overall ad growth
was a meagre 3% YoY to Rs.9.9 bn due to 34% fall in international ad revenues on currency appreciation and region-

With the onset of the festive season, domestic ad growth rebounded strongly to the normal level with broad-based

We broadly maintain our ex-sports revenue growth of 11%/16% for FY18/19E. High original content, launch of OTT
app Z5 and rebranding Zee TV should reduce the room for operating leverage. Thus, we cut EBITDA margin by ~300

Ambuja Cements Ltd


(BSE Code: 500425) (CMP: Rs.282.25) (FV: Rs.2) (TGT: Rs.345+)
Ambuja Cements Ltd (ACL) is a holding company engaged in the manufacture of clinkers, cement and related products. It
offers a range of products to the business to business (B2B) and retail markets. Its product, Ambuja plus Roof Special, is
suited for constructing roofs and slabs. It also offers to install rooftop rainwater harvesting technology. Its products also
include Ambuja Powercem, which caters the ready-mix (RMX) sector; Ambuja Railcem, which is designed for railways;
and Ambuja Buildcem, which serves the requirements of the mass housing segment. It also co-owns two brands in the
micro materials category i) Alccofine, which includes a range of micro slag materials; and ii) Dirk Pozzocrete, which
includes superfine fly ash. Alccofine Micro Materials are used in construction projects such as metro rail, dams, roads,
flyovers, bridges and tunnels.
ACLs EBITDA grew 15% YoY to Rs.3.54 bn translating into a margin of 15.3% (-7.5 pp QoQ, flat YoY). EBITDA/tonne
rose 5% YoY to Rs.706, but fell by Rs.367 QoQ due to a 43% QoQ rise in raw material cost/tonne due to higher prices of
flyash and the kiln shutdown of the Bhattapara unit. Power and fuel cost/tonne rose 4% QoQ due to higher prices of
petcoke and fuel. Other expenses declined 6% YoY due to the reversal of DMF charges of Rs.446 mn in the quarter. PAT
grew 10% YoY to Rs.2.7 bn.
ACL plans to add 1.7 MMT of clinker capacity by end CY19. The associated grinding capacity is likely to be added beyond
CY20, which will keep its volume growth under check in the medium-term. Volumes grew 10% YoY to 5.02 MMT led by a
favorable base. Q3CY17 standalone revenue of Rs.23.2 bn (+15% YoY) marginally exceeded our estimate of Rs.22.9 bn,
led by realizations of Rs.4621, which were up 5% YoY, but lower by 2% QoQ on weak pricing in the northern markets.
Also, realizations were lower upto Rs.75/tonne in Q3CY17, as VAT incentive of Rs.380 mn was not recognized.
ACLs RoE/RoCE profile is likely to remain subdued at sub 10% even after factoring in the benefits from an improvement
in industry pricing. We expect ACL to lose market share due to capacity constraints over the next 2-3 years as peers like
Ultratech and Shree Cement are adding capacity by over 25% by way of organic growth or acquisitions.
Technical Outlook: The ACL stock looks very good on the daily chart for medium-term investment. The stock is moving
in the trading range of Rs.260-290. A close above Rs.300 with volumes will lead the rally to Rs.350 on the daily chart.

trade deficit, too, narrowed in September by 0.95% to $8.98 bn as the import growth rate was slightly lower than the
export growth with gold imports declining 5%.
The government's surgical strike on black money is also bearing results with an enlarged tax payer base and higher tax
collections. Personal tax collections grew 21.4% in 2016-17, the highest in the last 9 years, while overall tax collections
grew 14.5% touching Rs.8.49 lakh crore-the highest in the last 7 years!
To further fuel the growth and reduce the impact of GST and demonetisation, the FM announced Rs.2.11 lakh crore of
recapitalization for PSU banks to help them lend more. This is a real growth booster for the economy and for the banking
sector. The markets gave a big thumbs up to this announcement last week as the Sensex and the Nifty touched record
highs the next day. The earlier announced Rs.70K crore recapitalization package was felt to be inadequate by many,
which is why the government allocated a sufficiently large recapitalization package this time. While the common man
might feel that this is a good money chasing bad money kind of phenomena, this was a long awaited reform for the
Indian banking sector and the economy, the effect of which will be seen only after a couple of years. This will enable PSU
banks to lend more, which will lead to industry growth and job creation. While everybody is concerned about its impact
on fiscal deficit, FM indicated that 64% of the recapitalization amount i.e. Rs.1.35 lakh crore will be in the form of
recapitalization bonds and the balance through budgetary allocation and the market. The government made a smart
move by using the recapitalization bonds route whereby it will issue additional equity of the banks that can help them
raise more capital from the market as well. To curb the impact on fiscal deficit, the government may use another set of
PSUs to issue these bonds instead to avoid any shelling out of money directly without putting the fiscal deficit target in
jeopardy. This is probably one of the best moves by the government to put the Indian economy back on the growth
trajectory. However, it is important to note that such a bailout will not be appropriate as an on-going basis and the
government must take stringent steps to curb such hefty stimulus in future. Recognizing this fact, the FM also
announced that this move will be followed up by reforms in the banking sector.

Indian household savings have witnessed some massive structural shifts of late. Demonetisation seems to have boosted
household savings. Households in India have historically been quite risk-averse and wary of investing their savings into
risky assets. Traditionally, Gold was always a preferable asset class for the Indian middle class. However, this trend
seems to have changed in the last few months especially post demonetisation. Earlier, the Indian stock markets were
heavily dependent on FII inflows. But since the last one year, the Indian markets have inched higher despite lower FII
inflows. The Nifty advanced from the 7900 level in November 2016 to 10300 in October 2017. The primary reason for
this 30% appreciation is the change in peoples mindset as mentioned above. DIIs were net buyers over this period and
Mutual Funds witnessed record inflows from investors on a monthly basis. This clearly indicates the rising interest and
awareness about the equity markets and Mutual Funds. The key reasons for this shift in mindset are the contained
inflation which helped the RBI to lower the interest rates (resulting in lower rates on bank deposits) and the downturn
in the real estate market, which in turn pushed investors to look for other asset classes like the equity markets for better
returns. And the markets have rewarded investors significantly.
Assets under Management (AUM) by Mutual Funds recorded an all-time high of over Rs.17.5 trillion by end-March 2017,
which further increased to Rs.20 trillion by end-July 2017. Gross savings grew to 11.8% (provisional) of GNDI (gross

MARKET REVIEW

Market scales record high


By Devendra A Singh
The Sensex advanced 528.34 points to settle at 33685.56 while the Nifty gained 129.45 points to close at 10452.50 for
the week ending Friday, 3 November 2017.
On the macro-economic data, Indias fiscal deficit was at Rs.4.99 lakh crore for April-September 2017 or 91.3% of the
budgeted target for the current fiscal year that ends on 31 March 2018. Net tax receipts in the first six months of FY18
were Rs.5.42 lakh crore.
India's annual infrastructure output in September 2017 surged 5.2% from a year ago, driven by higher production of
coal and refinery products. During April-September 2017, the annual output growth was 3.3%.
Coal production grew 10.6% in September 2017 from a year ago while refinery products output grew 8.1%. India's eight
infrastructure sectors include coal, crude oil, natural gas, refinery products, electricity, steel, cement and fertiliser,
accounting for ~40% weight in the index of industrial production.
India is likely to stick to its fiscal deficit target of 3.2% of GDP and may accelerate sales of government stakes in lenders
and other companies as part of its effort to recapitalise banks, an adviser to the India's PM stated.

A Time Communications Publication 12


The government has already used up nearly all of its budget for the current fiscal year and tax revenues are expected to
fall far short of initial expectations. At the same time, economic growth has slowed, sparking calls for more stimulus.
Mr. Surjit Bhalla, a member of the Prime Ministers Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC), stated that the government had
stuck to its fiscal deficit targets over the past three years and is expected to do so this year as well.
The central bank has warned that missing the fiscal deficit target could lead to a spike in inflation, hurting the macro-
economic stability.
Indian stocks slid last month on reports that a stimulus package of up to Rs.500 bn ($7.7 billion) might be in the works -
one that would widen the deficit to 3.7% of GDP.
Economic growth slipped to its lowest level in three years in the first quarter, logging an annual rate of 5.7%. But Bhalla
said that there were signs of recovery. I am more optimistic on the economy than I was two weeks ago, adding that last
week's industrial output and export data suggested that the fears about a slowdown were exaggerated.
He also said that the GDP growth could be close to 6.5% for the fiscal year although the forecast is lower than the central
bank's latest estimate of 6.7%.
Last week, new estimates were released by SBIs Economic Research Department. While there could be a shortfall of
Rs.1.1 lakh crore in the revenue receipts, disinvestments receipts worth Rs.72500 crore and expenditure cuts are likely
to offset the impact.
We estimate that the government may cut about Rs.70000 crore from the capital expenditure, the report said.
However, it noted that budgeted disinvestment receipts are on track to realizing Rs.72500 crore.
Further, the report observed that the government has accumulated Rs.40491 crore in the National Small Savings Fund
during the first five months of this fiscal. It could thus receive Rs.1 lakh crore in small savings in FY18 and would be able
to do a buyback of Rs.75000 crore, which was contingent upon that. This in turn implies that the government would be
able to meet its net borrowing target of Rs.3.48 lakh crore, it added.
Out of the total estimated shortfall of Rs.1.1 lakh crore in revenue receipts, around Rs.77,000 crore shortfall may be from
tax revenue on account of reduction in excise duty on petroleum products, tax refunds under GST and revenue
compensation to states for GST implementation. The non-tax revenue may decline by Rs.38000 crore because of lower
spectrum proceeds among others, the SBI report
said.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Nifty in decisive range 10400-10500


Rohan Nalavade
Last week, the Nifty moved in a tight range of 10350-10450 with volatility. It got strong support at 10400 and faced
strong resistance at 10500. Only a close above 10500 will take the Nifty to 10700 in the November series. On a close
below 10400, the Nifty could slip to 10200 in the November series contract.
An important W.D. Gann date (7 November 2017) lies in the next week and therefore, the markets will witness big
moves next week, which will set the trend till the end of the series. The US Federal meet indicated a rate hike in
December. On the domestic front, Gujarat elections will be held in December. So, the outcome of the elections will have a
huge impact on the markets for the short-term. If the BJP loses, a 1000-2000 point movement can be seen on the
downside but if it wins, a strong upside movement is likely as the Gujarat elections will set the stage for 2019 election.
Among stocks,
Tata Motors is a Buy at Rs.447 for upside levels of Rs.453-456 (SL: Rs.440)
Vedanta is a Sell below Rs.338 for downside levels of Rs.333-328 (SL: Rs.345)
Nifty Index At spot price - Buy above Rs.10470 for upside levels of Rs.10500-10550; Sell below Rs.10440 for
downside levels of Rs.10400-10350-10300.

I G Petrochemicals Ltd
(BSE Code: 500199) (CMP: Rs.710.40) (FV: Rs.10)
By Dildar Singh Makani
Company background: Incorporated in 1988 and promoted by the renowned Dhanuka group, Mumbai-based I G
Petrochemicals Ltd (IGPL) is an established market leader and the lowest cost producer of Phthalic Anhydride (PAN)
with strong recognition and plant facilities of international standards. Equipped with one of the largest capacities at a
single location, IGPL caters to the local as well as international markets.
Product: PAN is used in the manufacture of plasticizers, which are most essential in making PVC products, shoe soles,
cables, pipes and hoses, leather cloth, films for packaging and other products. It is also used to manufacture alkyd resins
used in paints and in the production of unsaturated polyester resins for building materials, plastic products, textile
industries and printing ink.
Plants: IGPL has three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in technical collaboration with Germany-based Lurgi. Its
plants are located at MIDC, Taloja in Maharashtra.
Financial Parameters: For FY17, IGPLs achieved a turnover of Rs.1040.29 crore with PAT of Rs.101.56 crore fetching
an EPS of Rs.32.98 v/s Rs.19.6 in FY16 and Rs.2.89 in FY15. The figures for the first two quarters also look very exciting
and point towards much higher earnings.
With increasing cash liquidity (due to rising profits), interest expenses have fallen from Rs.38.17 crore in FY15 to
Rs.22.67 crore in FY16 and further to Rs.18.05 crore in FY17. This indicates IGPLs financial strength and is indicative of
the lesser use of debt.
With an equity capital of Rs.30.79 crore and reserves of Rs.362.58 crore, IGPLs share book value works out to Rs.127.74.
Credit Ratings: IGPL continues to get better credit ratings of A+ and A1+ for its long-term and short-term financial
requirements, which reflects a stable outlook. These high ratings enable it to access debt at lower interest rates, as and
when the need arises.
Current year working: The demand for PAN in the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow at ~7% for the next 2-3
years. During Q1FY18, it posted PAT of Rs.38.86 crore and an EPS of Rs.12.69. During Q2FY18, it posted PAT of Rs.33.41
crore v/s Rs.20.23 crore in Q2FY17. Its profitability improved despite the fact that one of its plants remained shut due to
debottlenecking process and change of catalyst. The EPS for H1FY18 works out to Rs.23.61. We expect H2FY18 earnings
to improve significantly and in all probability IGPL is likely to notch an EPS of ~Rs.55 for FY18.
Recent Acquisition: IGPL recently acquired the Maleic Anhydride (MA) business of Mysore Petro Chemicals Ltd (MPCL)
on a slump sale basis for Rs.74.48 crore payable over 5 years. MA is a chemical intermediary used in every field of

A Time Communications Publication 15


industrial chemistry. MPCL is the only manufacturer of MA in India while IGPL is a leading manufacturer of its raw
material - wash water. Both the plants of IGPL and MPCL are at a common location in Taloja. Therefore, this acquisition
is likely to yield greater synergy benefits for IGPL along with enhanced presence in the domestic market. The benefits of
this acquisition will be reflected during the current financial year.
On-going expansion: In 2015, IGPL had entered into a JV with Dubai Natural Oil Company to set up 45,000 TPA MA
unit, which is likely to be operational in FY19. This integration will boost IGPLs top-line as well as bottom-line. The
management recently approved the expansion of its 53,000 TPA PA plant and to foray into downstream products. The
expanded capacities will be
commissioned in FY19. MID-CAP TWINS

The size of the Indian PAN market is ~3.5 lakh tonnes, of which ~85,000 tonnes of domestic requirements are met

Shareholding pattern: The promoters hold 72.22% of the equity capital, which leaves 27.78% stake with the investing
public. None of the promoter holding is pledged, which is a positive. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), Mutual Funds
(MFs) and banks collectively hold ~1.33% stake while ~2.22% stake is held by bodies corporate and ~1.7% stake by
NRIs. This effectively means that the floating stock is limited to 22.53%. Currently, there is no warrant pending, which
implies that there wont be any dilution in the near future.

A Time Communications Publication 16


Dividend and Bonus: IGPL has consistently increased its dividend pay-out over the last three years. For FY17, it paid
30% dividend. IGPL is at an inflection point. Its equity is small compared to its sales and profitability. The management
is quite liberal. It is a sellers market as far as IGPL is concerned. With the huge on-going expansion plans, IGPLs future
looks bright and its profitability is set to take a big jump. Also, there is a distinct possibility of a healthy rise in dividend
rate.
If the profits of the current year are added to the already bulging reserves, IGPLs share book value at the end of this year
may hover around Rs.182-184. Therefore, chances of a Bonus issue in future cannot be ruled out.
Price Projections: Commodity prices are on the rise and IGPLs volumes are growing on account of the rising demand.
The industry enjoys a P/E of ~27x. On a conservative FY18E EPS of Rs.55, the stock could touch Rs.1320 within a year. If
the forward earnings for FY19 are visualised, we certainly see greener pastures.
While making these projections, the expected income from the ongoing expansions has been ignored as the
commissioning of such projects will materialize only in the next financial year. Therefore, this stock is a screaming buy.
More so, because the companys working in the next 2-3 years is expected to be exemplary.

Bhagyanagar India Ltd: Underpriced metal stock


(BSE Code: 512296) (CMP: Rs.33.15) (FV: Re.2)
Incorporated in 1985 and controlled by the Surana group, Bhagyanagar India Ltd (BIL) manufactures non-ferrous metal
products like copper rods and lead sleeves. It forayed into wind power generation in 2007. It started its copper division
through a takeover of two units - India Extrusion and Gangappa Industries. Its product profile includes enamelled and
paper-covered copper strips used by Lucas, Bosch India, TVS, BHEL, Crompton Greaves and Sahney Paris. It embarked
on forward integration of its copper division to manufacture jelly-filled telephone cables and later enhanced its capacity
to meet the rising demand. It also set up a unit to manufacture field coils. During the 1990s, it commissioned a new unit
to manufacture jelly filled cable with a capacity of 6 LCKM at IDA Nacharam. Currently, its total capacity for Jelly Filled
Telephone Cable stands at 49 LCKM. In the metal-copper division, it manufactures copper rods, copper foils, copper
pipes, copper sheets, annealed bare copper strips, paper insulated copper conductors and insulated copper coils (Field
Coils). Its products find extensive applications in the OEM segments of Telecommunications, Power & Distribution
Transformers, Heat Exchangers, Switchgears, Solar Panels and Auto Ancillaries.
Bhagyanagar Metals is a 100% subsidiary whereas BIL holds 72.4% in Solar Dynamics Pvt Ltd (SDPL). Its associate
companies include Globecom infra Ventures India Pvt Ltd (50% stake), GMS Realtors Pvt Ltd (50% stake), Bhagyanagar
Entertainment & Infra Devel Co Pvt Ltd (47% stake), Bhagyanagar Infrastructure Ltd (22% stake), Surana Solar Ltd
(SSL) (24% stake) and Bhagyanagar Cables Pvt Ltd (26% stake).
BIL currently has an installed capacity of 9 MW comprising 7 wind turbines in Karnataka and 6.4 MW comprising 5 wind
turbines in Tamil Nadu through its subsidiary viz. Solar Dynamics Pvt Ltd. It recently demerged its solar and real estate
divisions into separate listed entities. BIL holds investments in SDPL and SSL. Since both the companies are engaged in
the Solar industry, these investments are also being transferred to SDPL.
BIL holds interest in the real estate segment through three subsidiaries - Bhagyanagar Properties Pvt Ltd (BPPL),
Scientia Infocom Pvt Ltd and Metropolitan Ventures Pvt Ltd. Its subsidiaries hold 25 acre land at Gachibowly in
Hyderabad. Huge funds are required to develop such a large property and hence, it plans to identify a strategic investing
partner for joint development. Debt for this project will be taken exclusively by its subsidiary so that BILs existing cash
flow is not affected.
BIL has invested in the equity capital of these companies and given them unsecured loans as well. These investments
and loans are being demerged to BPPL, which shall be a listed company with mirror image share-holding as that of BIL.
Since BIL supplies major copper and allied products to the auto ancillary industry, it now plans to foray into the
manufacture of automotive components as OEM products.
For FY17, BILs net profit zoomed 108% to Rs.5.2 crore (Rs.10.8 crore before exceptional expenses) on marginally
higher sales of Rs.326.8 crore fetching an EPS (without exceptional expenses) of Rs.3.6. During Q1FY18, net profit
jumped 27% to Rs.1.4 crore on 13% higher sales of Rs.107 crore (excluding MAT credit of Rs.1 crore in Q1FY17)
fetching an EPS of Re.0.4.
With an equity capital of Rs.6.4 crore and reserves of Rs.97.5 crore, BILs share book value works out to Rs.32.4. Net debt
of Rs.75.6 crore gives it a DER of 0.73:1. The value of its net block is Rs.72.4 crore. The promoters hold 74.8% of the
equity capital, FIs hold 0.3%, DIs hold 4.6%, the government holds 0.3% and PCBs hold 1.5%, which leaves 18.5% stake
with the investing public.

Copper is a ~$8 bn industry in India growing at 5-7% CAGR per annum. In the domestic market, growth in copper

A Time Communications Publication 18


consumption was strong at 8% during the current financial year. Moreover, domestic production remained strong,
driven by higher production by the domestic custom smelters. India has a huge growth potential in copper consumption
for the next 20-25 years given the governments focus on smart cities, rapid urbanization and investments in
infrastructure.
India is expected to be the 6th largest copper market by 2020 with major consumption sectors being Electrical,
Transport and Telecommunications. The electrical and power sectors account for nearly one-third of the refined copper
consumption. Demand from other industries such as transport, consumer and electronic goods and industrial machinery
is also expected to remain strong on the back of growing end-user demand and increasing investments. The user
industries namely the Telecommunications, Power & Distribution, Transformers, Heat Exchangers, Switchgears, Solar
Panels and Auto Ancillaries are doing extremely well following the infrastructure push by the government. Therefore,
BILs products will be in good demand.
BIL is one of the oldest industrial houses in India with diverse business streams (manufacturing of various copper
products, non-conventional energy (Wind and Power). Based on its current going and bright industry prospects, BIL is
set to notch an EPS of Rs.5 in FY18 and Rs.6.5 in FY19. At the CMP of Rs.33.15, the stock trades at a forward P/E of 6.6x
on FY18E and 5.1x on FY19E earnings. A reasonable P/E of 8.5x will take its share price to Rs.42.5 in the medium-term
