The company capitalized projects worth Rs26.7bn; capitalization was below our estimate due to seasonal factors
The company capitalized projects worth Rs26.7bn in Q2 FY13. The capitalization was below our estimate due to seasonal factors. Normally the second half is good for Power Grid, hence we maintain our expectation of capitalisation worth Rs160bn in FY13, though company maintains its guidance of Rs180bn for the year. The company has planned Rs 1,000bn capital expenditure in the next five years of which Rs200bn will be spent in the current financial year. The company targets for 90% capitalization in each year in XIIth Plan.
Outlook & Valuation
Power Grid is a monopoly play in the regulated transmission business in India and its one of the better managed PSUs. The company is in a regulated business which assures minimum 15.5% ROE; guarantees reasonable profitability along with steady returns. PWG plans Rs1,000bn of capex during the XIIth Five Year Plan (FY13-17). For power grid the asset base increases with every tick. Additionally, PWG also provides chance to participate in power sector reforms as the company is the indirect beneficiary. We believe EPS CAGR of 21% over FY12-14E with an average RoE of 16% makes it one of the safe and attractive bet in troubled utility sector. We maintain our BUY rating with 9-month target price of Rs142
