PICK OF THE WEEK Jan 01, 2018

SALASAR TECHNO ENGINEERING LTD

Industry Overview: Infrastructure sector Development and growth of Infrastructure sector is critical for rapid growth of domestic steel industry in the country.

Steel industry is a major user of infrastructural facilities especially of Railways, roads, power, and ports. As per the working group projections, the steel production in the country could nearly double within the next five years. This requires rapid growth of railways, roads, ports and power facilities.

Growth in the infrastructure and construction segment is expected to be driven by power, roads, irrigation and urban infrastructure. To support infrastructure in the country, the Government has identified infrastructure as a priority sector to bolster the GDP growth rate.

Telecom Tower: With a total of 11 operators serving an active wireless subscriber base of 842.39 million (88.45% of total registered

wireless subscriber base), the Indian telecom market is now amongst the most competitive markets in the world. Telecommunications in India has grown from a fledgling to a large industry over the last decade, As per industry sources,

telecom tower companies in India could post a revenue growth of about 10 percent over the next two years, as mobile operators are expanding their 3G and 4G footprint and will seek to lease more tower space.

Considering India is at the cusp of a rolling out 4G and other high end services, industry estimates significant growth and bright future of the Indian Tower Industry.

The growth in telecom sector has helped India emerge as a trendsetter in the tower infrastructure segment. Around 70 per cent of India’s 4,00,000 towers are owned and operated by tower companies. The advent of new technologies, such as 4G by Telecom Service Providers (TSPs), along with expansion in the rural areas, is expected to be key drivers for the telecom infrastructure industry over the next five years.

Transmission Towers: India’s Power Transmission networks constitute the vital part of the entire power value chain. The growth of power

sector is contingent to development of a robust and a reliable transmission network. As per the 12th Five Year Plan, the future expansion in power generation capacity in India is planned around 88GW. In

order to meet this capacity, investment in the transmission sector needs to be increased. Overall, an addition of 90,000 ckm of 765-220 kV lines, 154,000 MVA of substation capacity and 27,350 MW of national grid capacity is required in order to meet the 12th Five Year Plan.

FY 16 saw an addition of around 28,114 ckm(Circuit Kilometer) of transmission lines (220kV and above) and in FY17 another 23,384 ckm of transmission lines (220kV and above) is expected to be further added.

An investment of USD 35 billion has planned in the power transmission sector. Of this, about USD 19 billion has planned to 10 come from Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. The remaining USD 16 billion, ~46% of the total investments, needs to be secured from private players.

Sub-Station Structure: India is undertaking a sustained heavy capital-expenditure program that is running at US$4- 5bn annually to cover grid-

transmission line and substation expansions and upgrades while expanding interregional capacity. The Indian grid has an installed generation capacity of ~250GW. In next 5 years, that figure is expected to approach 500GW, requiring an investment of more than US$20bn.

Solar Energy Sector: Renewable energy contributes 14.7% of the total installed capacity in the country (as on 31.07.2016). India has

ambitious target of 175 GW of renewable power by 2022 which includes 100 GW of Solar power, 60 GW from wind power, 10 GW from biomass power and 5 GW from small hydro power.

Investment Rationale: Diversified product portfolio across segments brings more opportunity to boost revenues: STEL has a strong product portfolio across various segments, which enables to cater to its various marquee customers present across diverse industries such as telecom, engineering, infrastructure, etc. STEL, through its production prowess designs, engineers and installs structures as per the customer’s requirements.

Telecommunication Towers have several applications in different sectors, such as mobile, internet, television, navigation and radio signal transmissions. These are structures which house the dishes and receivers required for wireless communication and data transfers. Company has manufactured and erected more than 10,000 towers of various designs- Angular, Tubular, Hybrid Ground Based Towers (GBT) and Roof Top Towers- for various leading telecom companies in India. Solar Module Mounting structures are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades and on the ground. These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building. STEL carries out rural electrification projects under the government through route mapping, feeder segregation and installation of transmission lines and substations. Apart from this, STEL has executed projects for various clients, including Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited and NTPC Ltd, among others.

PICK OF THE WEEK Jan 01, 2018

SALASAR TECHNO ENGINEERING LTD

Manufacturing partnership with Ramboll brings technical expertise in Tabular Telecom Towers: Ramboll Telecom is Denmark based company, engaged in engineering, design and consulting activities in Telecom Towers. Company is the market leader in innovative designs and supply of tower solutions with a history in analysis, design and construction of towers and masts since 1945, and nearly 30,000 masts and towers bear its stamp worldwide.

STEL has a technical collaboration with Ramboll which has enabled it to become one of the India’s key players in the manufacturing and fabrication of telecom towers. Robust order book and excellent pre-qualification credentials: Company has executed various projects over the past among few major projects were for Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Ltd, NTPC Ltd (Raj), Today Green Energy Pvt Ltd, Bharti Infratel Ltd, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, Zamil Infra Pvt Ltd, Indus Towers Ltd, Welspun Energy Pvt Ltd and ATC Telecom Infrastructure Pvt Ltd.

Execution of projects of U. P. Power Transmission Corporation Ltd, Acme Cleantech Solution Pvt Ltd, Bharti Hexacom Ltd, Renew Solar Energy Pvt Ltd, Mahindra Susten Pvt. Ltd, Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, Prayatna Developers Pvt Ltd, Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd, PES Solar Pvt Ltd and many more are under process.

Expected to receive government’s order led by rising capex in energy, Infra, and railway projects going forward: In India, Power Grid Corporation India Ltd is one of the leading players in T&D (Transmission and distribution) and it participates in most of government’s bid. Apart from PGCIL’s sustained and steady capex, state government’s spend on transmission infrastructure is also expected to improve to meet their UDAY related milestones. STEL is expected to be a key beneficiary of this strong growth prospect in India. STEL has already got one order from Railways for rail electrification in its JV and is expected to get more such orders in future given Rail Minister’s vision to electrify its entire network in the next four years at a cost of Rs.35000 cr.

Government’s thrust on improving rail and energy infrastructure is also expected to result in rising capex for the sectors. STEL is seeing a lot of traction on orders both in T&D and railways and has strong order book in both the businesses. STEL has been building robust team there on execution. Currently, these businesses contribute around 70% of the order book and are expected to grow significantly. Ordering from Telecom Towers segment could be robust: China has over1m sites (compared to a little more than 0.4mn in India) hence showing the scope for addition of towers in future. Further move towards 5G technology could result in smaller but closer towers (Inter-site distance of500m for 5G). This could result in extensive small cell deployments in future. Capacity expansion by its subsidiary could bring revenue visibility going forward: Recently, STEL’s wholly owned subsidiary Salasar Stainless Ltd (SSL) has installed Galvanizing Plant of 50,000 MT which has increased its installed galvanizing capacity to 1,00,000 MT. Now STEL group can manufacture & execute projects twice the earlier size. Apart from this, company continues to expand its product portfolio by upgrading existing products and introducing new ones to maintain market share and engage new customers. Focusing on new segment like Railways and Power could also help utilise the new capacity better.

PICK OF THE WEEK Jan 01, 2018

SALASAR TECHNO ENGINEERING LTD

Risk and Concerns: Susceptibility of margins to volatility in prices of raw material: The operations of the group are raw material intensive in nature as reflected by raw material cost constituting around 72% of total cost of sales in FY17. The key raw material required include steel, copper, zinc etc. prices of which are highly volatile in nature, and the group is thus exposed to the risk of price volatility. However, Salasar group has lower risk of volatile raw material prices due to the price variation clause in its agreements with clients. Default or delay in payment from customers could impact its profitability going forward: Company’s operations involve extending credit, ranging typically from 60 to 90 days, to customers in respect of products. For the FY17, FY16 & FY15, its trade receivables stood at Rs. 77.7 cr, Rs. 56.9 cr and Rs. 38.9 cr, respectively, which constituted 20.8%, 20.6% and 14.1% respectively of total revenues. Foreign Currency fluctuations: Company exports its products to other countries that are generally priced in foreign currency, exports revenue contributes ~3% on sales on consolidated basis as on 31st March 2017. Accordingly any rise in the value of the Rupee against the foreign currency would decrease the Rupee cost of such products. However, company has been reducing its export contribution over the period efficiently; it was 12.3% of sales in FY14. Transmission business highly depends on government projects: Transmission business increasingly relies on projects awarded or funded by the Government or State Governments. STEL has various government clients and top clients in transmission business are UP Power Transmission Corporation Ltd and Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. Any slowdown in spending by the Govts could result in lower growth for STEL. Exit of any top client could impact its revenue going forward: Company’s top five clients contribute 55.1% of revenues as on 31st March 31, 2017 and this ratio was 64.5% and 63.1% as on 31st March 2016 and 31st March 2015 respectively. Any decline in quality standards, growing competition and any change in the demand for products by customers may result in exit by any one or more of these big clients resulting in impact on top and bottomline. Business is working capital intensive in nature The business of STEL is working capital intensive as reflected by operating cycle of 104 days on March 31, 2017 driven by average inventory and debtors of 60 days and 69 days respectively. Inventory holding is high due to its relatively long lead manufacturing time of about 3 to 4 weeks and sizeable amount of inventory required for the fabrication work. Collection days remain high due to credit period offered to established clientele in telecom sector and longer payment cycle in orders from power utilities.
