    India is expected to double its power generation capacity to c300GW by FY17-18. As the

    Indian government rushes to create the requisite infrastructure for this, we forecast that

    domestic power transmission orders alone will increase 45-50% during FY12

    We drill deep down into order flows and pricing trends in nine different end markets to

    identify which companies will benefit most, helped by our new proprietary Q-benanalytical tool that compares value with asset quality

    We initiate coverage of Siemens India (OW), Crompton Greaves (OW), and Areva T&D

    (Neutral). We are OW on Jyoti Structures and Kalpataru Power, Neutral on KEC

    International, and UW on ABB India. Our top picks are Siemens and Kalpataru Power

    In this report, we initiate coverage of Siemens India, Areva T&D, and Crompton Greaves. In addition, we

    transfer coverage of Jyoti Structures, Kalpataru, KEC International (from Rajesh Singla) and ABB India

    (from Suman Guliani) to Rahul Garg.

    Brighter days ahead

    Capital goods companies saw muted order growth of c5% during FY09-10 (March year-end), driven primarily

    by a weak economic environment and delays in several large projects. Earnings suffered further due to price

    erosion and cost pressures and the sector experienced marginal EPS decline of c2% during FY09-10. However,

    we believe that the demand environment is now at an inflection point, and should benefit in particular from

    the rush to create the requisite transmission infrastructure for the upcoming generation capacity over the

    next four to five years. Therefore, we have a positive view on demand outlook and expect a turnaround in

    sector profitability and underlying returns. The highlights of our report include the following:

    We discuss nine major end markets for our companies (pages 23-82) and carry out an extensive

    analysis of the opportunities in the domestic transmission markets (pages 27-48).

    We drill deep down into Power Grid order flows and analyse the rapidly changing competitive

    landscape in the transmission value chain (pages 83-89).

    We introduce our new proprietary analytical tool the Q-ben Framework to better relate

    companies valuations to their asset quality (pages 119 -143).

    We have a non-consensus view on three of our seven companies Areva T&D (pages 230-247),

    KEC International (pages 189-209) and Siemens (pages 270-292). Siemens and Kalpataru Power

    (pages 166-188) are our top picks in the sector.

    Investment summary

    We are bullish on the demand outlook and expect a turnaround in

    sector profitability and underlying returns. We forecast order growth of

    c20% during FY12-13 vs c5% in FY09-10, largely from the pick-up in

    domestic transmission orders. While we expect competitive and cost

    pressures to persist, we believe the pricing environment will stabilize.Therefore, we expect margins to improve and forecast an earnings

    CAGR of c30% for the sector during FY12-13. We continue to find

    the sector valuation undemanding relative to its history and introduce

    our proprietary Q-ben analytical tool to better relate valuations to

    asset quality. We highlight Siemens and KPP as our top picks.

    We conclude that while companies in our coverage universe serve many end markets, their relatively high

    gearing to the domestic transmission and distribution (T&D) markets should provide them with strong

    demand impetus over the next couple of years. This is because we expect domestic transmission orders to

    pick up sharply (c45-50%) going into FY12 as orders related to the recently announced nine high capacity

    corridors (HCPTCs), spill-over from the 11th five-year plan and expenditure from the 12th plan feed

    through. For the overall sector, we forecast demand growth of c28-33% during FY12e.

    Moreover, while we dont expect earnings growth to be devoid of challenges, such as rising competition,

    increasing metal prices and a risk of excess capacity, we believe most of our companies remain well

    placed to deal with them. Consequently, we expect sector profitability (and in turn sector returns) to

    improve by c70bp during FY12-13e, driven largely by volume growth and self-help initiatives. Overall,we forecast sector earnings CAGR of c30% during FY12-13e.

    We further note that our coverage universe doesnt look overbought at this stage and, at c20x 12-month

    forward PE and c11.6x 12-month forward EV/EBITDA (on consensus), is trading at a modest discount of

    c5% to its historical (FY05-10) average. Within our coverage, while EPC players (Jyoti, KEC and

    Kalpataru) have de-rated in line with their declining returns, equipment manufacturers (ABB, Areva

    T&D, Siemens and Crompton) have re-rated in spite of it. In our opinion, this disconnect was primarily

    driven by the buyout premium built into the valuation of foreign manufacturers. However, as the corporate

    action is now largely behind us, we expect valuations to normalize and therefore we expect most of the

    EPC players to re-rate going forward and most of the equipment manufacturers to witness a de-rating.

    We remain OW on Kalpataru Power and Jyoti Structures, Neutral on KEC, and UW on ABB. We remove

    the volatility flags on the ratings of Jyoti Structures, KEC, and ABB, as these stocks are no longer considered

    volatile by HSBCs definition (see definition of volatility status, page 293). We initiate coverage of Siemens

    and Crompton Greaves with an OW and Areva T&D with a Neutral. We highlight Siemens India and

    Kalpataru Power as our top picks in the sector. We like Siemens because of its strong order book, improving

    market position, ambitious capex plan and strong balance sheet to fund growth. We like Kalpataru

    because of its strong market position, robust earnings outlook and significant discount on valuation.

    With this report, we also introduce our proprietary analytical tool called the Q-ben Framework (the

    Quality Benchmarking Framework), to better relate companies relative valuation to their asset qualities.

    Under this framework, we evaluate companies on five fundamental criteria and measure their quality on

    16 objective metrics to arrive at a Q-ben score for each company. When plotted against the forward

    looking valuation of the company on a scatter chart, we believe that this score is a good way to identify

    potential cases for re-rating or de-rating in the sector. We note that within our universe Crompton remains

    most undervalued based on its overall quality relative to its peers, while ABB remains most overvalued.

    We highlight our key bull and bear points related to the sector as follows:

    Bull points

    Demand outlook remains strong, particularly for the domestic transmission sector which is the

    biggest end market (c40% exposure) for our companies.

    Our universe should witness strong earnings CAGR of c30% over FY12-13e after a lacklustre recent

    performance (earnings CAGR of -2% during FY09-10). This is largely driven by an anticipated pick

    up in deliveries and an improvement in profitability.

    We expect sector fundamentals to improve (i.e. cash generation, return ratios, financial strength) as

    demand picks up and investment plans wind down.

    After a modest underperformance of c5% over the last six months, our companies should outperform

    the wider capital goods sector as orders pick up and earnings improve.

    Sector valuation remains undemanding relative to historical average and most of the companies under

    our coverage should re-rate somewhat as their earnings outlook improves and returns increase.

    Bear points

    Competition remains intense and although some of the major players have regained their market

    position in FY11, we believe pricing pressures may persist in the near term.

    Our sector remains prone to metal price risk (average steel exposure of c9% of sales).

    Excess capacity built-up remains likely (particularly for transformer manufacturers) in view of

    capacity ramp-up by major companies and the entry of several new players.

    Demand outlook remains strong

    Although companies under our coverage serve 8-9 major end markets, they remain highly geared to the

    T&D markets (c70% exposure), particularly domestic transmission (c40% exposure), and the industrial

    capex cycle (c12% exposure). In addition, domestic demand remains crucial as the sector derives c70% of

    its revenues from India.

    While industrial capex should benefit from a cyclical recovery in the capacity utilization rates and rising

    business confidence, the investment in the domestic T&D market remains secular. We note that starting

    with a mere capacity of around 1,350MW at the time of independence, India is now on track to achieve a

    power generation capacity of c300GW by FY17e. Much of this capacity has either come over the last 7-8

    years (c60-65GW) or is expected to arrive over the next 7-8 years (c130-135GW). Given the decades-

    long underinvestment in transmission, we believe this sector is now bound to catch up and witness

    significant investment as the government rushes to create adequate capacity.

    In this context, we believe that transmission segment provides a two way opportunity for vendors:

    The ramp up in transmission capacity over the next five years will create significant demand for T&D

    equipment and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work.

    The increasing private participation in this segment will provide many vendors with an opportunity to

    partake in asset ownership and raise their business profile.

    In the near term, we forecast domestic transmission orders to grow by c45-50% in FY12, driven largely

    by orders related to the nine high capacity corridors (HCPTCs), spill-over from the 11th five-year plan

    and expenditure from the 12th five-year plan. For most other markets we expect double digit growth indemand in FY12, driving a blended demand growth of c28-33% for the entire sector.

    Cost and pricing pressures may persist but wont deteriorate

    The sector has seen significant price erosion (c10-20%) over the last couple of years, driven largely by

    the entry of new players in the EPC segment and, in our view, misguided qualification requirements (QR)

    in ultra high-voltage (UHV) products such as 765kV transformers. However, we note that the competitive

    landscape is changing very rapidly and recent developments indicate that the pricing environment will

    most likely stabilise for our companies. We highlight three key points in support of our view:

    Vendor concentration for Power Grid (PG) orders has increased again after falling sharply in FY10.

    In the substation/transformer segment, competition from China for PG orders is absent this year and

    both Areva and Siemens have regained their position in the market. We expect Chinese competition

    to ease because the new QRs for 765kV transformers require them to set up local manufacturing

    facilities.

    In the tower EPC segment, KEC and Kalpataru have regained their position, winning c25% of the

    total orders. We expect pricing to stabilise as margins of new entrants look unsustainable.

    In addition to the weak pricing environment, we expect cost pressures to persist as the sector remains

    highly geared to metal prices (particularly steel) and our metals and mining team expects steel prices to

    increase by c10% during 2011. We note that within our coverage universe EPC players remain most at

    risk, with Jyoti Structures having the highest exposure to steel of c24% (as % sales). We further note that

    while we dont expect margins in the current contracts to suffer due to price escalation clauses, we

    believe margins on new contracts may be squeezed.

    We have also looked at the production capacity of listed players in our space and although excess

    capacity build up looks likely in the medium term, we dont see it as an immediate threat. We note that

    the manufacturing capacity (for both transformers/reactors and towers/structures) remains in line with the

    expected demand; however, if and when the new capacity comes on line (either greenfield or brownfield),

    the demand supply balance will deteriorate. But having said we believe that utilization rates should

    remain healthy in the near term, particularly as order inflow picks up.

    We forecast sector earnings to grow at c30% during FY12-13After a marginal earnings decline of c2% over the last couple of years (FY09-10), we forecast earnings

    momentum to pick up going forward, driven by a pick up in deliveries and improvement in operational

    performance. As we have highlighted earlier, we remain bullish on the demand outlook and consequently

    forecast an order growth for the sector of c25% and c15% during FY12 and FY13, respectively.

    Subsequently, assuming that the execution rates remain at the current level, we forecast sales CAGR of

    c20% during FY12-13.

    We also remain optimistic that margin improvement and forecast sector profitability will increase by c70bp

    during FY12-13, driven largely by volume growth and self-help initiatives. Consequently, we forecast a sector

    earnings (EPS) CAGR of c30% during FY12-13. We remain c8-10% ahead of consensus on our FY12

    estimates for most of our companies. We highlight the summary of our estimates in the table that follows.

    most of the EPC players to witness a re-rating going forward and most of the equipment manufacturers to

    see a de-rating.

    We note that most of our companies also look inexpensive compared with their trade peers or the wider

    capital goods sector. On our FY12 estimates, our universe is trading at c17x PE and c10.6x EV/EBITDA.

    We highlight the performance and valuation of our coverage universe relative to their trade peers and the

    wider capital goods sector in the following tables.

    We further note that we value companies under our coverage based on the Economic Value Added (EVA)

    methodology. This is because we believe that being in a capital intensive industry, the quality of a capital

    goods company (and hence its value) should be judged based on its ability to generate superior returns

    over and above the cost of capital committed to it. We have also used DCF to sense check the valuations

    derived from our EVA model.

    We introduce Q-ben Framework to better judge a companysworth

    With this initiation report, we introduce our proprietary analytical tool called the Q-ben Framework to

    better relate companies relative valuation with their asset qualities. Under this framework, we evaluate

    companies on five fundamental criteria and measure their quality on 16 objective metrics to arrive at a

    normalised score, called the Q-ben score, for each company. Barring other factors, we believe that a

    company with a high Q-ben score should typically trade at a premium to its peers whereas a company

    with low score should trade at a discount.

    We have plotted the Q-ben score of all the companies under our coverage (and the sector and sub-sector

    averages) versus 12-month forward PE and EV/EBITDA in the scatter chart format on the next page. We

    have divided this chart into four quadrants to identify the potential cases for re-rating and/or de-rating.

    From our analysis, we conclude that Crompton remains the most attractive on valuation and ABB the

    least attractive given their overall quality relative to their peers.

    Coverage of seven companies

    We initiate coverage of Siemens India, Areva T&D, and Crompton Greaves. In this report we also

    transfer coverage of Jyoti Structures, Kalpataru, KEC International (from Rajesh Singla) and ABB India

    (from Suman Guliani) to Rahul Garg.

    Of these seven companies, three are transmission EPC players (Jyoti Structures, Kalpataru Power, KEC

    International) and four are equipment manufacturers (ABB, Areva T&D, Crompton Greaves, Siemens).

    We favour companies which show either or all of the following traits:

    Strong market position

    High gearing to domestic growth (particularly in transmission markets)

    Capacity to generate superior returns

    Undemanding multiples relative to peers

    On the other hand, we remain cautious of the companies which have seen deterioration in their market

    position and remain expensive relative to their peers.

    Siemens and Kalpataru Power are our top picks. We briefly discuss our investment case for each of the

    seven companies below.

    Jyoti Structures: OW, TP INR165

    It is tricky to take an investment call on Jyoti Structures at this stage, as the company seems to be

    struggling with new orders and its balance sheet doesnt allow much room to test new waters. However,

    the stock has de-rated significantly over the last six months and Jyoti, at c4.8x FY12e EV/EBITDA and

    c7.0x FY12e PE, is the most inexpensive stock compared with its peer group as well as its own history.

    Although some of this de-rating is justified, given the firms deteriorating Power Grid market share and

    the equity dilution overhang, we believe this does not justify writing-off the companys future earnings

    potential completely, particularly when it is one of the market leaders and has a strong order book for the

    next two years.

    Moreover, the company remains highly geared to strong domestic transmission growth (c70% exposure)

    and this, coupled with Jyotis strong order book and managements focus on margins, in our opinion

    should allow the group to report strong earnings over the next couple of years. Consequently, we remain

    ahead of consensus by c7-9% on FY12-13e earnings.

    We remain Overweight on the stock with a target price of INR165, which offers c41% potential return.

    We have removed the volatility flag from the rating, as this stock is no longer considered volatile by

    HSBCs definition (see definition of volatility status, page 293).

    Kalpataru Power: OW, TP INR225

    Kalpataru in our opinion is going through an important transition phase, with the company not only expanding

    the scope of its business but also improving operational efficiency. The group has now built a strong position in

    several EPC markets, such as T&D, roads and pipelines. The group has also shown improvement in its

    EBITDA margins over the last six quarters. In spite of this, the stock has significantly underperformed the

    wider capital goods sector by c15% over the last six months, driven largely, in our opinion, by falling Power

    Grid orders (until Nov 2010) and the poor order execution at JMC (during H1 FY11).

    However, we note that Kalpataru remains a clear market leader in the transmission EPC segment and is

    bound to benefit from strong growth in transmission orders during FY12 and FY13. The company is also

    seeing strong growth in construction related orders at JMC this year. The group margins are also expected

    to increase, driven largely by the improving performance of JMC. On top of this, the company has also

    successfully secured a couple of build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects which should provide further

    visibility to the top line. In light of all this positive momentum, the sharp underperformance of the stock

    seems unwarranted at this stage.

    We see limited risk to Kalpatarus earnings and remain c12-20% ahead of consensus on our FY12-13

    EPS estimates. We continue to find Kalpatarus valuation attractive, at c7.4x FY12e PE and c5.4x FY12e

    EV/EBITDA compared with trade peer average of c11.1x and c8.5x (on consensus), respectively.

    Therefore, we remain Overweight with a target price of INR225, which offers c53% potential return.

    KEC International: Neutral, TP INR105

    KEC has made significant strides this year as can be seen from its order book that has grown over 30%

    since the previous year end (Mar 10). The group has not only secured several large orders in virtually

    every business segment but has also made a couple of strategic acquisitions, thus bringing in further

    ammunition for future growth. However, the company has failed to show any improvement in its margins.

    But even so the stock has reacted well to the order inflows and the news from the recently acquired

    business of SAE Towers.

    We highlight that, unlike Kalpataru and Jyoti, who have each underperformed the wider capital goods

    sector by c15-20% over the last 6 months, KEC has performed inline with the sector. Therefore, although

    the earnings outlook for KEC remains robust in light of the rising order book, the story seems well known

    and well owned. After the recent outperformance, KECs valuation now looks full, particularly compared

    with its closest peers, Jyoti and Kalpataru. On our FY12 estimates, KEC is trading at c8.7x PE versus

    Jyoti and Kalpatarus multiples of c7.0x and c7.4x, respectively.

    We believe that KECs growth story is baked into the numbers and hence we remain largely in line with

    consensus on our FY12 estimates. We remain Neutral with a target price of INR105, which offers c16%

    potential return. We have removed the volatility flag from the rating, as this stock is no longer considered

    volatile by HSBCs definition (see definition of volatility status, page 293).

    ABB India: UW, TP INR630

    ABB has seen significant erosion of margins and hence earnings potential over the last 4-5 years, driven

    primarily by declining revenues, significant pricing pressure and the cost of exiting non-core businesses,

    such as Rural Electrification (RE). The margins in the current financial year have taken a further hit from

    the cost overruns on some large power system orders. The EBIT margins have come down to c1.6% in

    Q3 CY10 from c12.4% in CY07. While margins are likely to recover going into CY11 and CY12 as exit

    costs wind down and better margin order backlog starts feeding through into sales, we dont expect the

    profitability to recover to the pre-recessionary level of c12-13% (EBIT margins during CY07-08) anytime soon (i.e. during CY11-13).

    However, we remain positive on the demand outlook going into CY11-12 (Dec YE) and we expect ABB

    to witness strong order growth of c20-25% in the next couple of years, assuming it does not lose market

    share from here on. This strong inflow of orders, coupled with an already strong order book, should drive

    sales growth of c20-25% during CY11-12e, in our opinion. We remain marginally ahead of consensus

    (c2-4%) on our FY10-12 sales and EBITDA estimates.

    But even in light of this recovery potential, ABB remains expensive relative to its peers. On our calendarised

    FY12 estimate, ABB is trading at c30x PE and c19.5x EV/EBITDA versus equipment manufacturing

    average of c24x and c14x, respectively. We remain Underweight with a target price of INR630, whichoffers a potential return of -14%. We have removed the volatility flag from the rating, as this stock is no

    longer considered volatile by HSBCs definition (see definition of volatility status, page 293).

    Areva T&D India: Neutral, TP INR340

    Areva T&D has seen significant deterioration in its earnings over the last couple of years, driven largely

    by declining margins. We note that Areva reported flat EPS growth in CY08 and a c20% decline in EPS

    in CY09 in spite of c30-35% sales growth during these years. We believe earnings have suffered due to a

    change in sales mix (increasing content of substation packages versus standalone products such as

    transformers or reactors), increasing pricing pressure and operational inefficiencies leading to a margin

    decline of c700bp during FY08 and FY09.

    However, management has carried out a rationalisation of their manufacturing processes and have tried to

    reduce their exposure to lower margin offerings such as rural electrification (RE) and low voltage

    products. The company has also built the necessary capacity and experience to produce 765kV

    transformers domestically. In addition, the company seems to have consolidated its position with Power

    Grid during the current financial year (FY11) and hence we remain positive on the companys earnings

    outlook going forward.

    Management has highlighted that margins can go back to low-to-mid teen levels by CY12. Although we

    remain more cautious than management on profitability, we are nonetheless ahead of consensus by c100-

    200bp on our CY10-12e EBITDA margin estimates. This has driven our CY10-11 net income estimatesc9% ahead of consensus. We note that there remains significant upside risk to our estimates, if

    management delivers on margin improvement.

    However, at this stage the stock remains rich relative to its peers. On our calendarised FY12 estimates,

    the stock is trading at c27x PE and c14x EV/EBITDA compared with its peer group (ABB, Siemens &

    Crompton) average of c24x and c14x, respectively.

    Therefore, in light of these stretched multiples, we initiate coverage with a Neutral and a target price of

    INR340, which offers c11% potential return.

    Crompton Greaves: OW, TP INR365

    Crompton is a premium quality company within our coverage universe that has delivered consistent

    improvement in its operational performance over the last five years. Not only has it increased the range of

    its product offering but it has also established a solid market position in its key business segments. More

    importantly, Crompton has managed to grow its business without compromising on returns. In fact, it is

    the only company within our coverage universe which has shown a consistent improvement in its returns

    over the last five years and hasnt seen a decline in its earnings during the economic crisis of FY09-10 in

    spite of having a significant international exposure.

    Today, Crompton is a leading player in the T&D equipment market and will be a key beneficiary of the

    expected strong growth in domestic transmission orders going into FY12 and FY13. The company is also

    a leading player in the consumer segment and should continue to benefit from increasing penetration of

    basic consumer durables (fans & lighting) in rural areas.

    Furthermore, we believe that the demand in the groups international markets is currently at an inflection

    point and should gradually recover going further into CY11 and CY12. This in our opinion should drive

    improvement in subsidiary margins. Therefore, we remain positive on Cromptons earnings potential over

    the next two to three years and are c5% ahead of consensus on our FY12 EPS estimate.

    We continue to find Cromptons valuation attractive relative to its peers as well as its own history. On our

    FY12 estimates, Crompton remains at a discount to its peers under our coverage (ABB, Areva T&D and

    Siemens), trading at c16.6x PE and c10x EV/EBITDA compared with its peer group average of c24x and

    c14x, respectively. Therefore, we initiate coverage with an Overweight rating and a target price of

    INR365, which offers c27% potential return.

    Siemens India: OW, TP INR950Siemens doesnt look particularly inexpensive at this stage; however, the group is aggressively building

    its presence in India and hence, we believe, is bound to deliver premium quality growth over the next five

    years. The company has recently announced an ambitious INR16bn investment plan over the next three

    years which will not only help Siemens meet domestic demand but also become a global outsourcing hub

    for lower priced value products.

    We believe that Siemens is now a key beneficiary of the domestic transmission growth story as not only

    has it gained market share in substation related orders but also because the energy division is now a key

    driver of Siemens earnings, contributing c60% to the groups earnings. Moreover, the company has

    lately shown significant improvement in its EBITDA margins, from c7.5% in FY08 to c13.7% in FY10

    (September year-end), driven largely by a sharp improvement in the profitability of the Mobility and the

    Fossil Power Generation businesses.

    We are bullish on Siemens in the near term and believe that the group should benefit from its improving

    market position as well as operational performance. We remain modestly ahead of consensus by c6-8% on

    our FY11-12 EPS estimates. On our calendarised FY12e numbers, the stock is trading at c22.6x PE and

    c13.7x EV/EBITDA versus equipment manufacturing average of c24x and c14x, respectively.

    We further note that over the last five years, both of Siemens closest foreign peers, ABB and Areva, have

    increased stakes in their Indian subsidiaries; however, Siemens has not. However, we believe that in light of

    Siemens global expansion plans and strong focus on India, a potential increase in the parents stake in the

    Indian subsidiary remains likely and hence, we find the current multiples attractive at this stage. Therefore, we

    initiate coverage with an Overweight and a target price of INR950, which offers c31% potential return.

    In this section, we discuss in detail most of the

    key end markets where the companies under our

    coverage are present.

    Domestic transmission a key market

    for our companies

    As we highlight in the table below, our coverage

    universe is most geared towards the transmission

    and distribution markets, with highest exposure to

    the domestic transmission demand followed by

    the international transmission and the power

    distribution demand.

    On a sales weighted basis however, the exposure

    to demand from the industrial manufacturing

    customers emerges as the second highest for our

    companies (i.e. ahead of the international

    transmission and the power distribution markets).

    This is largely driven by a relatively high

    exposure of big players like ABB, Siemens and

    Crompton to the industrial markets.

    End-market analysis

    Our coverage universe remains highly geared to the T&D market

    (c70%), with highest exposure of c40% to domestic transmission

    Domestic demand remains key for our companies, with an

    average exposure of c75%. Africa & Middle East remain the next

    most important regions

    We have analyzed 9 key end markets for our companies and

    while we expect double digit growth in most markets, we remain

    particularly positive on domestic transmission going into FY12

    Domestic demand remains key for

    our sector

    Our coverage remains highly geared to domestic

    demand, with c70% exposure to the domestic

    market. Our universe also has a relatively low

    exposure of c8-12% to the western economies of

    North America and Europe, where demandenvironment remains subdued. The exposure of

    c18% to the rest of the world (RoW) is largely

    biased to the regions of Middle East, Africa and

    Latin America.

    We are bullish on demand outlook,

    particularly domestic T&D markets

    In the following chapters, we discuss the following

    eight key end markets for our companies.

    generation capacity and opens the transmission

    In the medium term, we expect the order activity

    to pick up sharply, driven largely by the 11th five-

    year plan spillover and the orders related to the

    nine high capacity corridors (HCPTCs) which

    At the cusp of strong growth

    The last decade (2000-10) has seen a significant

    progress in power reforms and has laid a strong

    foundation to enable India to envision ambitious

    power capacity targets. Starting with capacity of

    only 1,350MW at the time of independence, India

    is now on track to achieve power generation

    capacity of c300GW by FY17e. Much of this

    capacity has either come over the last 7-8 years

    (c60-65GW) or is expected to come over the next

    7-8 years (c130-135GW). We believe that this

    heightened sense of urgency to provide the country

    with more power has led to two things:

    The power reforms, successive to the

    Electricity Act of 2003, have changed the

    industry dynamics at every level. Most notable

    have been the increasing participation from

    the private sector and the unbundling of theState Electricity Boards (SEBs) into respective

    utilities (GenCo, TransCo and Discoms). This

    has not only helped the government to

    expedite power capacity addition in an

    economically beneficial manner but also

    diversified (and thus reduced) the risk for

    other players (such as equipment vendors) in

    the value chain.

    The rapid increase in power generation capacity

    has finally brought the related bottlenecks in the

    Transmission and Distribution (T&D) network

    to the forefront. The present investment in

    generation versus T&D remains at around 1:0.5

    compared with the desired ratio of around 1:1.

    Having tried, tested and successfully deployed

    various reforms in the generation segment, the

    Government of India (GoI) is now trying to

    bring similar changes (i.e. privatization, ultra

    mega projects, tariff based competitive bidding

    etc) in the transmission segment, and to some

    extent in the distribution segment (i.e.

    franchisee based private participation).

    Domestic transmission Strong growth ahead

    We forecast domestic transmission orders to grow by c45-50% in

    FY12, driven largely by HCPTCs, 11th five-year plan spillover and

    expenditure on the 12 five-year plan

    We expect growth to slow down to c10% in FY13; however,

    substation vendors should continue to witness growth of c25% in

    FY13, driven by a lower lead time for their products

    Increasing privatization in transmission to provide additional

    opportunity for EPC players to partake in asset ownership

    This, we believe, is a key positive for suppliers,

    particularly EPC contractors, as not only will they

    see significant demand for their products as their

    customers ramp up capacity but some of them

    may also get an opportunity to partake in asset

    ownership, thus raising their profile.

    Even though the pace of power capacity addition

    has picked up in an unprecedented manner overthe last five years, we dont expect the party to

    end any time soon. We note that Indias per capita

    electricity consumption stood at around 543kWh

    in 2009 which was significantly below its closest

    competitor Chinas consumption of c2,346kWh

    and the world average of c2,752kWh. It is only

    natural that as India accelerates its drive towards

    industrialization, the need for electricity will

    continue to increase, thus creating continuous

    demand for additional capacity.

    In this section, we discuss the dynamics and

    drivers within the domestic transmission sector

    and evaluate the growth opportunities over the

    next five to six years.

    India in the power-play mode!

    As we highlight in the chart above, India is

    rapidly moving from a conservative 15-20GW

    five year power plan on average to an ambitious

    80-100GW five-year plan. The 11th five-year plan

    (FY07-12) marked the first material step change

    in the generation capacity target and the

    subsequent plans are expected to follow suit.

    We note that Indias power deficit (based on peak

    demand) has averaged around 14% during the last

    decade with a peak deficit of over 16% in FY08

    and the current deficit of just under 13%. The

    deficit problem persists in India even through the

    countrys per capita electricity consumption of

    c623kWh is among the lowest in the world. A

    study released by IEA in 2009 shows that Indias

    electricity consumption stood at around one-fifth

    of that of China and the world average in 2007.

    Our India Utilities analyst, Arun Kumar,

    forecasts that even with an increase in generation

    capacity to around 300GW by FY17e, the power

    deficit will only reduce to c8.5%. Including the

    latent demand, the deficit will stand at c14%. Our

    analyst has assumed only a modest increase in

    electricity consumption to c1,050kWh by FY17e,

    which continues to remain significantly below

    Chinas current consumption of c2,760kWh.

    It is only natural that with rising industrialization,

    urbanization and factory automation, the need for

    electricity and the per capita consumption will

    move closer to the world average, thus creating

    continuous demand for additional capacity. In this

    context, we believe that the power deficit in India

    may persist for a long time, driving increasing

    investment into the power value chain.

    Same game, different rules

    The Electricity Act introduced in 2003 replaced

    the old Electricity Act of 1948 and was aimed at

    consolidating the laws relating to generation,

    transmission, distribution, trading and the use of

    electricity. Not only did this act bring in several

    game changing proposals, such as

    Opening up the power generation segment for

    direct private participation

    Unbundling SEBs into respective utilities

    GenCo, TransCo and DisCom to improve

    their operational efficiency and financial

    viability

    Making theft of electricity a criminal offence

    but it also acted as a catalyst for future reforms,

    such as:

    Introduction of tariff based competitive

    bidding for generation projects

    Introduction of provision for open access to

    utilities

    The launch of Rajiv Gandhi Gramin

    Vidyutikaran Yojna (RGGVY) in 2005 which

    aimed at electrifying all villages under the

    banner of Power for all by 2012

    Restructuring of the Accelerated PowerDevelopment & Reforms Programme

    (APDRP) and the introduction of R-APDRP.

    Most of these reforms/developments have

    significantly changed the playing field for players

    in the power value chain. For example, while the

    increase in private participation has brought in cost

    and operational efficiencies in the system (reducing

    the risk of project delays and deferrals), the

    unbundling of SEBs to some extent has limited the

    financial/counterparty risk for the vendors. The net

    effect of all these reforms has been a significant

    increase in India Incs ability to channel substantial

    investments into the power sector and undertake

    ambitious capacity addition plans.

    Since the power generation landscape has

    changed rapidly, we believe its rub-off effect on

    the T&D segment will not only drive significant

    investment into the sector but change the rules of

    the game here too.

    Transmission a two wayopportunity

    We believe that most of the major bottlenecks

    associated with setting up new generation capacity

    have been addressed over the last 5-8 years. There

    is now a strong need to address the bottlenecks

    associated with the downstream operations like

    transmission and distribution of power.

    While distribution is largely managed at the state

    level, with only a handful of central schemes (such

    as RGGVY and R-APDRP), a significant portion

    of the transmission segment (in the form of

    National Grid) remains under the purview of the

    central sector and is managed by the Power Grid

    (PGCIL). The transmission segment is similar to

    the generation segment in this regard and therefore

    should enjoy similar levels of political will and

    consensus for the on-going and/or future reforms.

    In this context, we believe that the transmission

    segment provides a two way opportunity:

    Given the decades-long underinvestment in thesector, the transmission segment is now bound

    to catch up and witness significant investments

    as the GoI rushes to clear the backlog and

    create adequate transmission capacity for the

    upcoming generation capacity.

    The increasing private participation in this

    segment will provide many vendors with an

    opportunity to partake in asset ownership and

    raise their business profile.

    Historically most of the transmission capex has

    been evacuation based i.e. utilities used to lay

    transmission lines as per the power evacuation

    requirements of the up-coming generation plants

    rather than based on a central plan. This naturally

    led to an inefficient development of the gridwhich was incapable of transmitting electricity

    over long distances. This led to the incorporation

    of Power Grid in 1989, which aimed at creating a

    national grid with the capability to transfer

    electricity across states and regions. Since then,

    Power Grid has become the third largest

    transmission utility in the world and the biggest

    transmission utility in India, carrying over 50% of

    the total power generated in India.

    National Grid a dream come truePower Grid has been very systematic in its

    approach to building the National Grid and as a

    result India now has one of the largest

    synchronized grids in the world. Indias

    transmission grid today can be divided into five

    main regions:

    Northern Region (NR)

    Southern Region (SR)

    Western Region (WR)

    Eastern Region (ER)

    North-Eastern Region (NER)

    Four of these regions have been synchronized so

    far and the Southern Region (SR) is expected to

    be hooked up to the grid by the end of 2012. After

    the synchronization of all the five regions, Indias

    National Grid will be the worlds largest

    synchronized grid.

    The development of National Grid has played a

    key role in streamlining the transmission planning

    in India. Not only has it enabled India to move

    from an Evacuation based planning to a Grid

    based planning, but also provided the flexibility

    to undertake transmission planning in parallel to

    the generation plans (i.e. before the identification

    of PowerGen beneficiaries).

    The development of the National Grid in terms of

    the inter-regional (IR) transmission capacity hasbeen slow as much of the time went on proper

    planning and rationalization of the network.

    However, the pace of IR capacity addition has

    picked up lately and the Power Grid is now targeting

    an IR transmission capacity of 32,650MW by FY12e

    and 75,000MW by FY17e compared with a capacity

    of around 14,100MW in FY07.

    Technology has turned the cornerAs we have highlighted earlier, the transmission

    planning in India had historically been evacuation

    based which meant that most of the transmission

    requirements were inter-state or intra-state, thus

    requiring relatively shorter transmission lines. As a

    result, most of the transmission lines used 400kV

    and 220kV AC transmission.

    We note that the load centres are usually far away

    from the supply centres and with the introductionof Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs), there is a

    strong need to create efficient and high capacity

    transmission lines, which can transfer electricity

    over very long distances (i.e. up to 2,000kms).

    Hence, India is now rapidly moving towards

    superior technologies, such as Ultra High Voltage

    AC (UHVAC) 765kV and 1200kV and High

    Voltage DC (HVDC) 500kV, are required. We

    note that India has successfully installed a

    transmission line using 800kV UHVDC line and

    is currently testing a 1200kV UHVAC line at

    Bina, Madhya Pradesh.

    India Load centres are far away from the supply centres,increasing the need for transmission

    On the road to privatisation

    The GoI has been slow to embrace private players

    in the transmission segment, largely, we believe,

    due to the apprehension of Power Grid (as the

    development of National Grid requires systematic

    planning and too many inexperienced players

    could jeopardize the efficiency). But after the

    introduction of the Electricity Act, Power Grid

    established a Joint Venture (JV) with Tata Power

    (51% stake) for implementation of transmission

    system for the Tata Hydro Electric project.

    Subsequent to the successful implementation of

    projects under this JV, Power Grid entered into a

    few more JVs, but with a lesser stake of 24%.

    After the success of these JVs, the GoI decided to

    give 100% ownership of transmission projects to

    the private players (similar to the generation

    projects) and identified around 14 large

    transmission lines which were to be developed

    with private participation through the IndependentPrivate Transmission Company (IPTC) route. The

    GoI appointed REC and PFC as the nodal agency

    to award the first four (two each) of such projects

    costing a total of around INR120bn during the

    11th five-year plan.

    Source: Project Monitor

    The first of these projects Western Region

    System Strengthening Scheme (WRSSS II) with

    a cost of INR18bn (transmission line of 1,500km)

    was awarded to Reliance Power Transmission in

    late 2007.

    We expect several such large central transmission

    projects to come under the private sector during

    the 12-five-year plan, thus eliminating the

    monopoly of Power Grid.

    On similar lines to the central sector, the state

    sector has also adopted the PPP route and several

    state transmission projects have been awarded on

    a BOT basis. Given the weak financial health of

    most of the state TransCos, we expect the state

    sector to increasingly invite private players for

    transmission projects.

    The increasing size of the generation projects has

    also led to the development of dedicated

    transmission lines for end-to-end power transfer.

    The recent example is the construction of Indias

    longest private 500kV HVDC line to transfer

    power from Mundra (Gujarat) to Mohindergarh

    (Haryana). The 1,000km line is owned by Adani

    Power Ltd.

    11th plan (FY08-12) so far so good

    After steady growth in the transmission capacity

    over the last few five-year plans, the 11th plan

    brought in a material step change in addition

    targets. The plan aimed to increase the size of the

    transmission network in India by c50% (versus

    c25% growth seen in previous plans) and

    transformation capacity by c70% (versus c35%

    growth seen in previous plans), with greater

    emphasis on 765kV AC lines and 500kV HVDC

    lines. India planned to invest a total of around

    INR1,400bn on transmission during the 11th plan,

    with the state sector contributing around INR650bn

    and the rest coming from the central and the private

    sector. We highlight the original 11th plan
