„ Targeting 11,400 MW by 2016
Besides the 3,650 MW of projects under construction, JSWEL is planning to
develop 7,740 MW projects by 2016.

„ Fuel tied up, but price risks remain

JSWEL has tied up fuel for 3,380 MW out of the 3,650 MW of operational and
under construction projects—1,080 MW will run on domestic lignite, 2,060 MW on
imported coal, and 240 MW is hydro capacity. All the purchase contracts for
imported coal are linked to the RB Index, exposing the company to fuel price risk
as the power tariff may not be aligned to the coal index.

„ Valuation: No margin for error; ‘DO NOT SUBSCRIBE’

Our NPV–based valuation of JSWEL stands at INR 82-84/share. We believe that
the price band of INR 100-115/share leaves no margin for error. Execution delays,
high coal prices, change in regulations in Indonesia, and operational risks
pertaining to lignite plants are some of the key risks. We recommend ‘DO NOT
SUBSCRIBE’ to investors as there appears to be limited/no upsides.

2000. It currently has 995 MW of operational generating capacity and 2,655 MW of
generating capacity in the construction or implementation phase. In addition, the

The company has formed a 74-26 JV with Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission

„ 46% output from 3,650 MW to be sold on merchant/short-term basis

Of the 995 MW operational capacities, JSWEL is currently selling 260 MW to group
company (JSW Steel). Management expects this capacity to be available for sale on
merchant basis once JSW Steel’s captive power plant is ready by FY11. Thus, 560 MW
out of the currently operational 995 MW will be sold on merchant basis from FY11.
However, from the operational capacity of 3,650 MW by FY12, 46% of the output will be
sold on merchant basis and the balance on long-term basis.

„ Fuel supply secured for 3,380 MW projects

JSWEL has tied up fuel for 3,380 MW out of the 3,650 MW of operational and under
construction projects—1,080 MW will run on domestic lignite, 2,060 MW on imported coal,
and 240 MW is hydro capacity. All the purchase contracts for imported coal are linked to
the Richard Bay Index, exposing the company to fuel price risk as the final power tariff
may not be aligned to the coal index. Management has stated that it is exploring options
of buying coal mines in Indonesia, Mozambique, and Australia to secure its fuel supplies
for under construction and pipeline projects.

„ Valuation
We have done a NPV-based valuation for 3,410 MW of operational and under-
construction projects and the 169 km transmission line JV. We have valued all the
projects at 13% cost of equity. We have not valued 270 MW RWPL II as the lignite
linkage is pending and 240 MW Kuther project as the company has filed for a revised
DPR with CEA. Our valuation stands at INR 82-84/share depending on the dilution
(13.4% at upper band and 15.1% at the lower band).

At the offer price of INR 100-115/share, the stock is being offered at ~2.7-2.8x post
issue book value. We believe it is leaving limited room for error by assuming negligible
execution and fuel risks. We see limited/no upsides at the offer price and recommend
‘DO NOT SUBSCRIBE’ to our investors.

„ Key risks to our call

1. Securing coal supplies at significantly lower costs than current contracts.

2. Faster-than-expected execution.

3. Higher-than-expected merchant rates (our assumption is INR 4/kWh in FY13 and

beyond).
