Accumulate Pure Gas Transmission – Strong Growth
Incorporated in December 1998, Gujarat State Petronet Ltd (GSPL)
is a gas distribution subsidiary of state-owned Gujarat State
Petroleum Corporation (GSPC). With its leadership position in
India’s fast-growing gas market, GSPL strongly claims its
perceptible volume-led growth.
INVESTMENT RATIONALE
Major beneficiary from Gujarat’s huge demand potential:
GSPL is strategically located in the Industrial clusters of Gujarat
(largest gas consuming state) driving volume growth through pre-
eminent pipeline connectivity, favourable regulation policies, and its
reach within Gujarat.
High supply volumes giving edge to GSPL growth:
With increase in gas supplies from Reliance KG basin D6 and
Petronet LNG, gas transmission volumes are expected to reach
55% CAGR over FY09-FY12E. Impact of this increase will be
reflected as growth from FY09-10 onwards for GSPL.
Focus on expansion of network outside Gujarat:
Mounting market potential beyond Gujarat drove GSPL to file
Expression of Interest (EOI) with regulator for four new routes to
grab more pipelines in its pocket. The decision on this is expected
in January-February 2010. Thus stronger growth scenario outside
Gujarat may appear for GSPL before the end of FY10E.
Benefit by bidding through SPVs:
To extract benefit from Sec 35AD, GSPL is expected to bid for the
new pipeline outside Gujarat through special purpose vehicles
(SPV), which ensures, capex on pipelines could be charged as
deductible expense. This would contribute to the bottom line
through lower taxes.
Advantage from Price Economics of Naphtha:
Naphtha prices have risen lately, rendering Regassified Liquefied
Natural Gas (RLNG) competitive, which enable the volumes to pick
up from Q4 FY09, with a visible improvement from Q1 FY10.
Valuation & Recommendation
GSPL is expected to see a huge jump in its EPS of INR 2.2 for
FY09 to INR 12.6 for FY12. Revenues are expected to grow at a
CAGR of 51% over FY09-FY12. Based on DCF calculations, stock
has an intrinsic value of INR 105. At current market price of INR 94,
we give “Accumulate” rating to the stock, with a time horizon of 12
months.

Company Background
Gujarat State Petronet Ltd (GSPL), a subsidiary of Gujarat State
Petroleum Corporation (GSPC), is the first pure transmission player in the
gas sector. It is the largest gas transmission player with outstanding
connectivity and reach in the largest gas consuming state of India, i.e.
Gujarat.
GSPL is well-known as an “open access / contract carrier” gas
transmission pipeline operator, which means that it offers the service of
transporting gas to customers who have the demand and have tied up the
supply source for a transportation fee. Thus commodity price risk does not
impact GSPL and its revenue growth mainly comes from Volume game.
GSPL is going to increase its pipeline from 1,420 km to 1,870 km by 2011.
Current capacity – 45 mmscmd (million metric standard cubic meters per
day)
Current utilization – 35 mmscmd
It has signed a 15 year agreement with Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) to
transport 11 mmscmd. It also signed a 20 year agreement with Torrent
Power (Torrent) to transport – 4.5 mmscmd.
GSPC (Parent co) is expected to start production in KG Basin by 2010
with a volume of 10-15 mmscmd.
The Company has signed firm Gas Transmission Agreements (GTA) for
transporting 31.99 mmscmd of gas to various customers and interruptible /
short term GTA for 11.17 mmscmd. Also boost in re-gasification capacity
at Dahej & Hazira, and commissioning of the new R-LNG terminal at
Dabhol are expected to provide an opportunity to GSPL to transmit
additional R-LNG volumes going ahead.
The major customers of GSPL include RIL, Essar group, Torrent Power,
Shell, Petronet LNG, Cairn India and GSPC.
GSPL has acquired strategic stakes in Krishna Godavari Gas Network
Limited (planning to develop gas transmission) CGD (Compressed Gas
Distribution) network in Andhra Pradesh & Gujarat.
GSPL has successfully commissioned various pipeline projects like
Bhadbhut- Gana, Rajkot-Jamnagar, Padmala Halol, and Suzlon Spur.
Further, the company also continues to develop several spur lines to
connect industrial clusters and medium size customers along the pipeline
network, which include regions like Tarapur, Vilayat, Dahej, Silvasa,
Bhavnagar, Amreli, Veraval, Gandhidham, Anjar, Mundra, Jafrabad region.
GSPL has expanded its gas pipeline network beyond the traditional
markets of South Gujarat and extended it to the Central and Northern
parts of Gujarat. It is currently building a pipeline to Mundra and Pipavav
ports, which will improve its presence in the Western parts of the State.

(GSPL)
GTA GTA
Overview: GSPL’s customer space includes both suppliers as well as users of natural gas. Suppliers of natural gas include marketers,
producers of natural gas and LNG terminals. Producers/suppliers of gas have direct Gas Sale Agreements (GSA) with the
buyers and either of the parties can enter the Gas Transmission Agreement (GTA) with GSPL to use its network for gas
shipment.
Users of natural gas comprise bulk customers (power and fertilizer companies) and local distribution companies. GSPL
operates as a pure natural gas transmission company and as such does not own any natural gas transported through its
network which insulates it from the fluctuations of the prices in natural gas.
GTA
The GTA designates the entry and exit points for the natural gas as it travels through the gas transmission network. GTA also
lays down the terms including the tariffs, tenure and capacity reserved in the gas transmission network.
A typical contract period varies between 5 and 25 years. Long term agreement accounts for major portion of revenue for
GSPL. GSPL's GTAs include "ship or pay" provisions, which require its customers to pay the capacity charges for the capacity
reserved by them, regardless of the amount of natural gas they transport. GTAs also include provisions for payment security
mechanisms, such as bank guarantees and letters of credit.

Prominent Demand – Supply Gap
Huge Demand in Gujarat itself
Rising oil prices and pressure / incentives to shift to
Natural Gas
Management Brief
GSPL being the subsidiary of state-owned GSPC, its management is
monitored by Government. Shri D Rajagopalan, IAS, the Chairman holds
Master Degree in Science. He is a senior IAS officer having
administrative and corporate experience spanning 25 years. During his
tenure with the Central Government, he has served as the Import and
Export Secretary with the Commerce and Industry Ministry, Government
of India. Presently he is Additional Chief Secretary, Industry and Mines
Department, Government of Gujarat.
Industry Overview
Growing Indian Economy requires higher energy consumption, and thereby triggers development of Indian Energy Sector, and Gas sector in particular. The Supply-Demand gap for natural gas is becoming prominent in India. In the XI Plan, demand for natural gas in India is estimated to increase 36.07% lifting the mark from 179 million cubic meters per day in 2007-08 to 280 million cubic meters per day in the year 2011-12. Gujarat itself has huge demand potential. With its large industrial base, growing energy needs and proactive government approach, it has emerged as a Vibrant Hub for gas industry. As per CRISIL’s report, natural gas demand in the State is expected to increase from 54.1 mmscmd in 2005 to 94.5 mmscmd by 2010. According to EIA International Energy Outlook Report 2009, Global Natural Gas consumption is estimated to increase @ 1.6% per annum from about 104 trillion cubic feet in 2006 to 153 trillion cubic feet by 2030. The Natural gas transmission industry is primarily being driven by the level of demand for natural gas and other fossil fuels in regions that lack energy resources and assets. Main factor that boosts the demand of Natural Gas is skyrocket rise in spot price of Oil from 2003 to 2008 hitting mark of $147 per barrel during mid July 2008 and its rebound trend from early 2009. Also governments across the world encourage Industrial consumers, especially power industry and fertiliser industry players to make a move towards environment friendly fuels, such as Natural gas which is more efficient, cost effective and environment friendly over other fossil fuels Growth plans for Natural gas sector are being laid by Indian Government. Several gas pipelines are planned for development across the world in coming few years, including cross country pipelines like Iran-Pakistan- India Pipeline, Myanmar India Pipeline, Trans-Afghan Pipeline, Central Asia Gas Pipeline, Nabucco Gas Pipeline, etc. Supply mark of natural gas has taken a hike with the commencement of Reliance KG (D-6) basin natural gas production in March 2009, expansion of capacity of LNG terminals by Petronet LNG, and Hazira LNG being completed, opening doors of volume growth for transmission players. Moreover, focus on Power / fertiliser companies coming on stream in Gujarat would drive the growth for transmission players in the state. Thus with substantial demand estimated for natural gas, future of Gas Transmission Industry players, which play on volume metrics, is supposed to be bright.

Investment Rationale
Major beneficiary from Gujarat’s huge demand potential
Gujarat is the largest gas consuming state in India. GSPL, the largest gas
transmission player in Gujarat, stands to benefit from the increasing
demand due to its pre-eminent pipeline connectivity and reach within
Gujarat.
As per CRISIL’s report, natural gas demand in the State is expected to
increase from 54.1 mmscmd in 2005 to more than 100 mmscmd by 2012
and ~ 146 mmscmd by 2020.
Albeit expansion of the gas grid in state, expansion of capacities of
existing projects, setting up of new Industries and development of CGD
networks in Gujarat has resulted in increase in demand but overall trend
of industrial players moving towards natural gas to satisfy their fuel and
feedstock requirements has also played its part.
High supply volumes giving growth opportunity to GSPL:
GSPL being pure gas transmission is not subjected to any commodity
price risk or marketing margins and revenue growth comes only from
increasing transportation volume.
Boost in re-gasification capacity at Dahej, Hazira and commissioning of
the new R-LNG terminal at Dabhol are expected to provide an
opportunity to GSPL to transmit additional R-LNG volumes going ahead.
For instance increase in gas supplies from Reliance KG basin D6 and
Petronet LNG gas transmission volumes are expected to reach 61.8%
CAGR over FY09-FY11E. Impact of this increase will be reflected as
growth from FY09-10 for GSPL.
GSPL looking forward to grab new pipelines by bidding through
SPVs
Under Sec 35AD, capex incurred on pipelines under SPVs can be
charged as deductible expense. This can give the tax benefits to the
company, thereby increasing the cash inflows in the initial phases of the
projects. GSPL is expected to bid for the new pipelines outside Gujarat
through special purpose vehicles (SPV), which can enable it to get the
tax benefits and can improve the bottom line.
Operation & Maintenances Activities
The Company has transported 5428.48 MMSCM (Previous year: 6144.91
MMSCM) of gas during the FY 08-09. The Company will be benefited by
transmission of additional volumes available on account of increase in
supply of natural gas in the State

Price Economics of Naphtha:
In the recent past, price of alternative feedstock like Naphtha had fallen
sharply due to a weak demand outlook. These competitive Naphtha
prices led to some customers (with dual-feedstock capabilities) opting for
the alternative feedstock, and thus, the decline in GSPL’s volumes of
spot RLNG in Q3 FY09. Volumes declined to 13.1mmscmd, de-growth of
25.8% YoY.
Unlike impact in Q3FY09 price economics now started tilting towards gas
again Naphtha prices have risen lately, rendering RLNG competitive
enabling the volumes to pick up in Q4 FY09 with a visible improvement
from Q1 FY10.
Growing Demand of Natural gas in India
The macro outlook is favorable given India’s huge appetite for cleaner
fuels like natural gas, which should get a boost from new discoveries by
RIL, ONGC, GSPC and others, going ahead.
Apart from power and fertilizer sector, Growth plans of compressed gas
distribution (CGD) sector in India boosts the growth of Gas transmission
industry. CGD sector in India currently consumes 5-6% of the total
available gas, or 5-6 mmscmd, but the consumption is expected to
quadruple in a few years. Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board
(PNGRB) is targeting CGD bidding in 200 cities by 2012.
Cities covered in the first phase of CGD were Kakinada (Andhra
Pradesh), Kota (Rajasthan), Sonipat (Haryana), Mathura and Meerut
(Uttar Pradesh), and Dewas (Madhya Pradesh). As of now the CGD work
in progress cities toll has crossed the number 77.
The company recognized the mounting market potential beyond Gujarat.
GSPL has filed EOI with regulator for four new Pipelines to grab more
pipelines in its pocket. A decision is expected in January-February 2010.
Company expects to win Mehsana – Bhatinda pipeline, as the pipeline
originates in Gujarat and GSPL will be maintaining and operating the
feeder pipelines to the main trunk line. Thus stronger growth scenario
outside Gujarat may appear for GSPL before end of FY10E.
Benefits from Take or Pay Agreements:
GSPL typically goes for fixed tariff component (especially in high volume
gas transmission agreements) based on pipeline distance and utilization,
duration of contract, tariff offered by competing pipelines and the
comparative cost of alternate fuels.
This tariff is there on account of the reservation of the network capacity
and typically covers 90% of the customer's tariff commitment. Balance
10% is commodity charges linked to the actual transportation of natural
gas through the gas transmission network. This means that if the second
party fails to meet the commitments for transmission, GSPL can claim
capacity charge from it (generally 90%).
Naphtha getting less attractive is pushing the demand
for natural gas further up
Huge appetite for cleaner fuels in India
Demand from CGD growing in multiples
GSPL bids for Interstate Pipelines:

Favourable Gas Pipeline Policy for GSPL
Sole Operator Rights Recent Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) Regulations have provided pipeline operators exclusivity (from the date of commencement of respective pipeline) for 25 years. GSPL is benefited from early mover's advantage in Gujarat and after undergoing process of authorisation will be the sole operator in its current areas of operation for the next around 20-25 years as most of its assets are not too old. 12% post-tax RoCE With PNGRB allowing 12% post-tax RoCE on gas transportation pipelines. GSPL’s tariffs jumped from around INR 0.7 per scm (FY09) to INR 0.9 per scm (Q1FY10) and INR 0.89 (Q2 FY10). GSPL ROE will increase on account of it being benefited from higher leveraging to fund its expansion plans. Act corresponding to Depreciation leads to Benefits: Schedule VI of The Companies Act, 1956 is in place for the calculation of capital employed. The same is applicable to GSPL. According to current figures stated GSPL currently depreciates its plant & machinery at a rate of 8.33%. This being high implies that GSPL would benefit from higher capital employed and earn higher returns in the initial years of operation. Benefit from Tariff Computation Policy: According to PNGRB Gas Pipeline Policy pipeline tariffs are computed on the basis of lower volumes in the initial four years of operations. The volumes for the first year shall be taken as 60% of the firmed-up contracted capacity, increasing 10% every year to reach 100% in the fifth year for computing the tariffs. This would benefit company in terms of higher returns in the initial years of operation. Benefit from Regulation Return Computation Policy According to PNGRB policy contracted volumes should be used for computing pipeline tariffs/regulated returns. Also, the additional returns from spot volumes will not be used for determination of regulated returns the spot volumes is considered in contracted volumes only after the initial tariff period of five years. This way there is possibility GSPL to generate more than 11% returns after two years.

Concerns
Regulatory risk:
Board appointed for the determination of transmission tariffs and authorisation of gas transportation pipelines is Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB). It also dictates technical operating parameters for gas transporting companies. GSPL’s failure to abide by the dictations would lead to heavy fine and it would come under the scanner of the regulator. Competitive prices of substitute products:
In the recent past, price of alternative feedstock like Naphtha had fallen sharply due to a weak demand outlook. These competitive Naphtha prices could have led to some customers (with dual-feedstock capabilities) opting for the alternative feedstock, and thus, the decline in GSPL’s volumes of spot RLNG in Q3 FY09. Although price economics now started tilting towards gas again Naphtha prices have risen lately but any reduction in prices of Naphtha in future would impact the demand of Natural Gas adversely. Social contribution:
In July 2008, Government of Gujarat directed all the profit making state PSUs to contribute 30% of pre-tax profit to newly formed Gujarat Socio-Economic Development Society (GSEDS) for welfare activities. In case of GSPL, on February 2, 2009, shareholders approved the contribution of INR 644 mn for FY09 to GSEDS. However, there have been no eligible projects this year to entail a meaningful contribution out of profits. Any hit on the bottom line this year is escaped but the risk of such contributions from the future earnings will still be there.
Financial Analysis For H1FY10, GSPL generated net revenue of INR 4.7 bn, showing a growth of 95.56% on YoY basis, as a result of increasing gas transportation volumes. During the period under review, the operating profit jumped from INR 2.2 bn in H1FY09 to INR 4.5 bn in H1FY10. Net income jumped even higher INR 1.9 bn for H1FY10 from INR 610 mn in H1FY09, showing the effect of rise in volumes and better capacity utilisation. The transportation charges are not dependent on natural gas prices and company is expected to maintain the EBIDTA margins at ~ 91% going forward. During FY09-12, gas transmission volumes are expected to increase from 15 mmscmd for FY09 to 54 mmscmd for FY12 at a CAGR of 53%. Over FY09-12, revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~50%, operating profit is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~53% and Net Profit is expected to grow at a CAGR of 72%. Going forward we expect the company to continue to maintain the momentum seen over the last two quarters. We expect the company to achieve revenues of INR 15.8 bn and INR 16.6 bn in FY11 and FY12 respectively. The net margins of the company are expected to improve from 25.3% (INR 1.2 bn) in FY09 to 43% (INR 7.1 bn) by FY12.

Peer Analysis
Being a pure gas transmission player, GSPL is not comparable to other
companies in natural gas transmission / distribution business. The closest peers
to GSPL are Gujarat Gas Company Ltd (GGCL) and Indraprastha Gas Ltd
(IGL).
GGCL is India’s largest private sector player in the natural gas transmission and
distribution segment and supplies gas to more than 230000 domestic,
commercial, industrial customers and serve over 80000 compressed natural
gas users. IGL is the sole supplier of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and
Piped Natural Gas (PNG) in the National Capital Region of Delhi and supplies
CNG to automotive, PNG to domestic and commercial sectors.
At current market price (CMP) of INR 94.2, GSPL is trading at 13.9x its
annualised EPS (INR 6.8) of H1FY10, as compared to 17.1x for GGCL, and
12.4x for IGL. On P/BV basis, GSPL (4.4x) seems to be expensive as
compared to its peers, GGCL (4.3x), GAIL (3.4x), IGL (3.8x) and RIL (2.9x).
As compared to peers, GSPL has more visibility of future revenues as well as
margins, due to mix of long term and short term gas supply agreements, make it
worthy of higher valuations than its peers.

Valuations & Outlook
With more pipelines (450 km) coming on-stream by the end of FY11
and demand for natural gas increasing rapidly in the Gujarat region,
GSPL would experience exponential growth. The company would
improve its Return on Equity to 36.6% in FY11 from the 8.8% in FY09. On
an equity base of INR 12.2 billion, its EPS would jump from INR 2.2 for
FY09 to INR 12.2 and INR 12.6 by FY11E and FY12E respectively.
As per DCF* calculations, the intrinsic value of the stock works out to INR
105, implying an upside of ~ 11.5% from the current level. We have
assumed a discount rate for equity of 16.2%, tax rate of 35% and terminal
growth rate of 3%.

Appendix
DCF Discounted cash flow (DCF) is a method of valuing a company using the concept of time value of money. All future cash flows are estimated and discounted to give their present values. The discount rate used is generally a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) that reflects the risk of the cash flows. Cash flows after the projected period are estimated using the Terminal value equation. This equation uses a geometric series to determine the value of a series of growing future cash flows into perpetuity.
