While DFC (Dedicated Freight Corridor) completion (expected in 2018/2019) will be a significant efficiency driver for CCRI, its investments in long gestation MMLP’s will impact near-term ratios. We cut our FY17 earnings by 3% on the back of lower volume growth assumption of ~7% in EXIM and domestic in FY17. We value CCRI on DFC-based valuation (WACC: 12.6%, TGR: 5%) to arrive at a fair value of INR1,605/sh (v/s INR1,636/sh earlier). The stock trades at a rich valuation of 22.3x FY17E EPS of INR54.2, with continued near-term volume growth concerns.
