Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Coal India
Govt of India decided to dissolve the current system of Coal India’s (COAL) auction of non-linkage coal through multiple windows. Currently, auction is conducted under five different windows like Spot (open for all the sectors including traders), Special forward E-auction for Power sector, Exclusive E-auction for Non-power, Special Spot E-auction and Special Spot E-auction for coal importers. In the new policy, all the auctions would be collapsed into one single auction which will put all sectors at par. Barring E-auction for power sector, all other segments garner strong realisations due to significantly better profitability of non-power sectors. E-auction for non-power constituted ~60% of COAL’s total E-auction volumes with realisations at ~1.5x of power sector. We expect an incremental revenue/EBITDA of Rs10bn factoring an additional realisation of Rs250/t on 40mnt of E-auction power volumes on account of higher reserve prices.
Outlook
COAL displayed strong performance on sales volume over last six months. However, delay in price hike of FSA (85% total volumes) remained a dampener. On balancing side, strong pick-up in E-auction realisations helped to negate absence of increase in FSA prices partially. Underpinned by improved operational performance and better outlook on both FSA (likely hike post state elections) and E-auction prices, we maintain Accumulate rating with TP of Rs192 (earlier TP Rs172), EV/EBITDA of 2.7x FY23e.
