Investment Rationale:

Is NBCC still a BUY? National BuildingConstruction Corporation (NBCC) — is, still, amulti-bagger. Sadly, investors continue tooverlook radical changes. Further,conventional sell-side report often notdelves deep into the critical factors. The bigpicture: based on our research, we see at-least 100% upside for this stock. And throughthis eye-opening note, we will explain youwhy.

Are there structural problems with DDAorders? No, things are changing on ground.First, Delhi Chief Minister has cleared thesticking points through Delhi Slum and JJRehabilitation and Relocation Policy, 2015 inDecember 2015. Second, addressing theDelhi High court judgment and NationalGreen Tribunal comments, NBCC is re-designing the pipeline projects.

Third, redesigning of existing projects is notas quixotic as shelved BMC Mumbairedevelopment plans that mooted higherFSI. Our point: there is a delay; not acancellation. Fourth, DDA for FY17 hasproposed 33 new land developmentschemes and 18 new housing-relateddevelopment works for FY17. Thus, the DDA,can award Netaji Nagar, Thyagaraja Nagar,Kasturba Nagar, Vasant Kunj and theremaining 24 projects. Though the timelinefor non-disclosed projects is uncertain, thepotential order inflows are in excess ofRs.750bn. Thus, even excluding Railways,housing for all, smart cities, NBCC canachieve order book target of Rs.1tn before2020. This is 25% CAGR in order inflows—something even L&T can’t dream of.

Investment Rationale:

What about railways? Housing for all?Smart cities? – Are they all talk and notrousers? And why should they benefitNBCC? No. There are few sticking points. Andthey are on its way to be addressed.Contention #1: Railway transit orientdevelopment is not fructifying. Answer tocontention #1: Projects in Mumbai requiresFSI — and higher powers for administrativeauthorities. Policy makers don’t have anoption to delay it. Contention #2: To availHousing for All Plan of Action subsidy,beneficiaries must first be part of themunicipal plans. Is the title of the slumdweller, anywhere in the country, clear?Answer to contention #2: Govt. is mootingGujarat/Charkop model. We haveincorporated other models mooted by NBCCand Govt.

Contention #3: We have been hearing smartcities for some time now. Where is thedevelopment? Answer to contention #3:Government incorporates the Land Valuebased taxation and higher FSI in “FinancialArchitecture for Smart Cities”. Further smartcities are happening at mission mode. Thereis an administrative difference for the workdone in central sponsored scheme andmission mode. So, two critical aspects aresolved. And NBCC is all set to reap thebenefits.

Orders are one thing; profitability is quiteanother. Is that the case?

No. And here is the reason why: First, AskShobbit Uppal, the Deputy managingdirector of Ahluwalia Contracts or MKrishnamurthi, the Chief Corporate affairs ofVascon and they will acknowledge thehardships of working with NBCC.

Investment Rationale:

Second, management themselves claims thatthey are working on superior business modelunmatched. And with sovereign backing, thecompetitive advantage is forever. Third,through high court judgments in litigation,we are convinced NBCC is the killer in thevalue chain.

What will, if any, be the impact ofadditional inventory offloaded by Govt.?

No, there is no impact. First, withGovernment owning 90% of the stake, andunmatched theme present before investors,market microstructure supersedesfundamentals. Now, as per Security Contract(Regulations) Rules, 1957, minimumthreshold of public holding is 25%. To complywith this rule, we speculate NBCC, withGovernment approval, will dilute its stakegoing forward.

However, using our models, the additionalquantity of inventory, market fears of fall inprices is overblown. Second, NBCC canpropose an FPO to raise seed money toinvest in redevelopment projects. But then,this money will make at least 25% projectIRR.

But everything is factored in price. Is it so?No, not at all. First, scalability of businessmodel is intact. Second, there is a visibility tothat. Third, the Return on equity is far aheadof cost of equity. Fourth, from impliedgrowth expectations, we see the potential ofNBCC to double over the next four years.Fifth, add focus on uncertain orders, the fairvalue may even triple. Sixth, across theindustrial value chain, there is hardly a stockthat can match this theme. Thus, over thenext four years, we will not be surprised ifthe stock runs ahead of Rs.2,000 a piece.

How did NBCC evolve?

Year Event1960 Incorporation of NBCC1970 Entered into power sector1977 Entered into overseas market

2001When company was in bad shape, Dr. Arup Roy Choudhary, after a long stint at DLF, took

over at the age of 44 as the CMD.2004 Won excellent rating from GOI.2005 Company was turned into profit making.2007 Paid maiden dividend, and started work on New Moti Bagh redevelopment2008 Schedule A PSU Status2012 Listed in BSE, NSE with issue price of Rs.106 apiece; issue size--10% stake for Rs.1.27bn2013 Dr. Mittal took over as CMD.2014 Accorded with Navaratna status.

What is the Business Model?

What is Project Management Consultancy?

First, NBCC sources projects throughnomination.

Second, NBCC prepares conceptual plans ordetailed project report. NBCC engages in-house technical experts to work on preliminaryestimates. Sometimes, they do seek advicefrom third-party consultants.

Third, NBCC executes a letter of intent /agreement / MoU with client. This emphasizesthe principal terms of engagement and fees.

Fourth, with final approval from client on “Billof quantities”, NBCC divides the work inseveral packages. Then, NBCC finalizestechnical and financial criteria. And eventually,the way for L1 bidding.

Fifth, NBCC seeks clearances, Govt. licensesand approvals. Sometimes, this is doneconcurrently or before the appointment ofcontractors.

Sixth, in this phase, NBCC monitors theproject– both for technical and financialaudit. Once done, the project is awardedcompletion certificate.

Seventh, even the defect liability period of12 months is passed on to the contractors.

What is the Business Model?

What is EPC work?

First, unlike PMC, NBCC sources projectsthrough competitive bidding. Interestingly,management emphasizes that they wouldlike to work in “specialized” EPC works–where scope of nomination exists.

Second, client evaluates the tenders andissues a letter of intent to NBCC, ifsuccessful.

Third, NBCC splits the work and re-tenders itto sub-contractor.

Fourth, NBCC monitors on-work jobs andfinally, with client approval, the project iscompleted. Interestingly, the managementclaims to have defect liability period of 12months in the agreement with sub-contractors.

What is Real Estate segment?

First, PMC and EPC work is asset-light. Withsurplus profit from core PMC business, NBCCdiverted the profit in acquisition of landparcels across the country.

Second, sometimes, Govt. nominates NBCCto develop a certain plot. But the format, byand large, involves the property is registeredwith NBCC.

Third, company evaluates the need ofmanpower and material. Also, gets theclearances and licenses from Govt.

Fourth, NBCC appoints contractors throughopen tenders. With drawings andspecifications, contractors commences thework—actively monitored by NBCC.

Fifth, post completion, NBCC engages inmarketing and post-maintenance work.

What is the Business Model?

Why does NBCC earn higher ROE?

First, NBCC works on miniscule working capitalcycle.

Second, incremental capital expenditure isminimal. NBCC clocks a revenue (PMC+EPC) inexcess of Rs.40bn over a gross block ofRs.415mn. Add, 5.5% EBITDA margins, an RoE inexcess of 20% is a cakewalk.

Is the higher RoE deployed back in highRoE business?

No.

We are not happy with the Real Estatemodel.

First, most of the real estate parcels areacquired in tier-II or non-metro areas.

Second, from cost of the land acquired topricing power of the end flats sold is a bigquestion mark.

Third, if this approach continues inperpetuity, this becomes a Real Estatecompany.

And for real estate themes, an investor cantake exposure to high-RoE housing financecompanies and high-RoE building materials.

Is the sovereign advantage intact?

Why should Govt. nominate NBCC? Is therea rule? What if the rule changes? Is there anexample?

The Govt. has notified NBCC as a PublicWorks Organization (PWO) explicitly. Thismeans NBCC is a construction agencycovered under revised Rule 126 (2) of GFRs.

What are the benefits of being this agencyunder this clause?

As per this clause, the GovernmentDepartment(s)/ PSUs and AutonomousBodies can award the works to NBCC onnomination basis.

Does NBCC has any other competitiveadvantage?

Nothing meaningful.

Then why should Govt. projects let NBCCmake 5-7% gross margins for the value of aproject?

First, NBCC calls itself a project managementconsultancy work. Second, thereby, anemployee is engaged in pre-construction,construction and post construction activity.Third, this enhances transparencies to theproject developer, typically Govt. agencieswhen they hire NBCC, by adhering the rulesprescribed by General Financial rules, CentralVigilance Commission Act, Central Bureau ofInvestigation Act and Right to Information Act.

The Competitive edge for NBCC is written on wall!

Are there problems with urban planning?Are there structural problems with DDA orders?

No, things are changing on ground.

First, Delhi Chief Minister has cleared the stickingpoints through Delhi Slum and JJ Rehabilitation andRelocation Policy, 2015 in December 2015.

Second, addressing the Delhi High court judgmentand National Green Tribunal comments, NBCC is re-designing the pipeline projects.

Third, redesigning of existing projects is not asquixotic as shelved BMC Mumbai redevelopmentplans that mooted higher FSI. Our point: there is adelay; not a cancellation.

Fourth, DDA for FY17 has proposed 33 newland development schemes and 18 newhousing-related development works forFY17.

Thus, the DDA, can award Netaji Nagar,Thyagaraja Nagar, Kasturba Nagar, VasantKunj and the remaining 24 projects. Thoughthe timeline for non-disclosed projects isuncertain, the potential order inflows are inexcess of Rs.750bn.

Thus, even excluding Railways, housing forall, smart cities, NBCC can achieve orderbook target of Rs.1tn before 2020.

Are there problems with urban planning?What is a redevelopment project?

Let us take the example of New Moti Bagh .

Once, it was home to some World-war IIstructure. And today, it is one of the Delhi'smost expensive areas. Occupying 143 acresto the south of Delhi, New Moti Bagh hasearned the moniker, "next best thing toliving in a Lutyens bungalow”.

The UPA Govt. sanctioned the project– whichwas conceived by MPD 2021-- in 2007. Onassigning it to NBCC, this project wascompleted in 2012.

There are 492 residential units in thecomplex. They are further split into: 116independent bungalows and 376 large sizedapartments. Even within the 116 bungalows,there are two types of bungalows: 14 Type-VIII (costing ranging from Rs.700mn- Rs.1bn.)and 102 Type VII bungalows with a cost ofRs.400-600mn.

Needless to guess, they are home (or Govt.quarters) for senior Indian bureaucrats.

Little surprise to our eyes, when the IndianUrban Development Minister, in 2014,handed over a cheque of Rs.3.3bn to theFinance Minister as surplus from New MotiBagh Project.

So, how was the New Moti Bagh projectfunding done? It all begin with a three acreparcel of land. The price: Rs.6.5bn. Paid byHotel Leela.

If this price is anything to go by, the totalland value of the 143 acres is ~Rs.310bn or~$4.6bn.

So, where did this idea emerge from?

So, where did this idea emerge?

The redevelopment project is a part ofMaster Plan of Delhi (MPD 2021. )

The process of planned development of theNational Capital began with enactment ofthe Delhi Development Act 1957, followedby the promulgation of the Master Plan ofDelhi in 1962 (MPD-62).

Are there urban planning issues?

Are there problems with East Kidwai project?

Yes.

In 2014, with the case of Aman Lekhi & ORS vs.Union of India ORS., concerns have emerged up.

The petitioner argued, “if commercialisation andredevelopment of East Kidwai Nagar, asenvisaged, is allowed, it would amount tocreating an urban slum in the heart of the city.”

The Honourable High Court in it’s judgementmade it clear,

“…This Court takes judicial notice that theexisting infrastructure of road, water andelectricity in Delhi and, in particular, in SouthDelhi is already “severely overburdened…(contd)”

“…(contd)No material has been placed on recordto indicate that any proposal for additional road,flyover, underpass or augmentation of electricityor water supply has been approved by anystatutory authority in anticipation of theimpugned redevelopment plan.”

Dismissing the speculation of corporate rivalry,we believe, this is a classical urban planningdebate.

Also, then why did NBCC complete Moti Baghproject on time?

Further, is DDA immature enough to overlookclassical urban planning problems? And moreimportantly, are these problems restricted onlyto East Kidwai?

This is a critical trigger for NBCC and our targetprice.

This issue is past! NBCC fixed it with change in design!

Are there urban planning issues?

Did DDA moot higher FSI?

Yes, they did.

As per Master Plan for Delhi 2021, “Vision-2021 is to make Delhi a global metropolis and aworld-class city, where all the people would beengaged in productive work with a betterquality of life, living in a sustainableenvironment.”

Delhi Development Authority planned 66% ofthe total geographical area. Arguably, themajor thrust vied for higher FAR/FSI.

Even Srivastava committee report addressedthe need for higher FSI,

“With increase in population and limited space,one has to shed the reluctance in goingvertical. If other world-class cities have sky-scrapers, why must we limit our constructionsto 4 or 8 storeys?”

Are there urban planning issues?

What are the benefits of higher FSI?

Efficient use of buildable area.

Restricted FSI aggravates Welfare loss.How?

Definition: Assume mono-centric city. Aperson earns “y” as income working incentral business district. The distancebetween his house to office is “x.” A roundtrip cost to travel is “t.”

Total savings of individual: “y-tx.”

Further, he stays in a flat paying rent of “p”per square feet “q.”

Source: Alain Bertaud Consultancy, World Bank, Industry, IDBI Capital Research

But will higher FSI be a burden?

So, his net savings is: y-tx-pq.

Alain Bertaud of the World Bank opineshigher FSI leads to lower tx and pq. Thereby,maximum welfare.

Unrestricted FSI eases Realty prices. How?

Our reader may counter-argue: With higherstoreys, construction cost has to go up.Thereby, affordable real estate prices withhigher FSI is a myth.

Are there urban planning issues?With higher FSI, can Indian real-estate prices crash?

Possible.

Variations in construction cost can be multifold.

But will higher FSI be a burden?

Are there urban planning issues?But then, did DDA overlook this aspect?

In the section, “SYNERGY BETWEEN

TRANSPORT AND LAND USE,”

The concept of the Master Plan for Delhi1962 was based on a poly-nodal, polycentric,distribution of work centres, largely based onroad transport nodes. A major fall-out of thishas been distortion between infrastructure,transport and land use. To achieve spatialbalance, development should take placeaccording to new corridors of massmovement.

What is the counter argument for Higher FSI?

The basic urban planning tries to minimize streetcrowding. Through a simple abstract illustration,we will explain you street crowding.

Imagine a locality. We define:

SC = street crowding = occupants/ street area.

IC = indoor crowding = occupants/ built-up area.

FSI = built-up area/buildable plot area.

PF = plot factor = buildable plot area/street area.

We say: SC = IC × FSI × PF

Keeping other things constant, higher FSI leads tohigher SC. The petitioner in Kidwai Nagar projecthas a point.

DDA has plans for higher FSI in remainingredevelopment projects. Will this be a cause ofconcern?

Source: Industry, IDBI Capital Research

Street Crowding is one point! But DDA has planned Transit oriented

development.

So, is there some work on “Mass Movement”?

On May 4th, 2014, Indian Express article statedthat East Kidwai Nagar project will be connectedto the South Extension and INA Metro stationsthrough an underground tunnel, besides beinglinked to the Barapullah elevated road.

“We are looking at connecting the housingcomplex with the South Extension and INA Metrostations through an underground tunnel. It willalso be linked with the Barapullah elevated road,”NBCC Chairman and Managing Director Dr AnoopMittal said.

Can JJ/Slum clusters be an issue?

Is working with DDA risky?

If majority of JJ/slum clusters are with DDA,will it not risk execution of projects?

Delhi Chief Minister has cleared the stickingpoints through Delhi Slum and JJRehabilitation and Relocation Policy, 2015 inDecember 2015.

The nodal agency for this policy is DUSIB(Delhi Urban Shelter improvement Board).

Rehabilitation of JJ clusters will be similarmodel to Kathputli Colony.

Rehabilitation should be completed withinfive years.

Relocation will be in rare cases. (Example ofrare cases: Court order, encroached a streetor road, encroached a specific publicproject.)

To our understanding, NBCC is not dealingwith work in JJ clusters.

What if Delhi Real Estate Price Crash?Will DDA go bankrupt – say if there is a downtrend in Delhi Real estate prices? And does this impact NBCC?

First, DDA has a pedigree for developingproperties that is 5-6x the land bank of DLF, thelargest in NCR.

Second, DDA is a Govt. entity.

Third, NCR has 180k homes oversupply. Withcurrent pace, it would take 5 years to sell theunsold inventory. There are chances of pricecorrection.

Fifth, even if the price crashes, the equilibriumprice has to be equal to marginal cost of high riseflats.

The beauty is DDA has the legroom to pricingaccordingly. And thereby, DDA can absorb thisfall.

Does Real Estate regulation pose any risk?Will NBCC be covered under new Real Estate (Regulation and Development) bill?

Though we have not come across documents thatspecifies the bill’s power over developmentmanagers, we still give the skeptics the benefit ofdoubt.

What if a development manager like NBCC is partof new Real Estate (Regulation and Development)bill?

To our knowledge, the treatment of force majeureis still unclear.

Usually, in development agreement, there is aforce majeure clause built in.

In Puri Construction vs Larsen and Toubro, theclause read like,

“The Developer shall not be deemed to be indefault if the performance of its obligationshereunder is delayed or prevented by conditionsconstituting force-majeure which shall include …”

“…but not be limited to any laws, order bye-laws, rule or direction of any Government orMunicipal or statutory agency or otherauthority, restrains, injunctions from any courtof law, withdrawal of permissions, non-availability of construction materials strikes,fire or any act of God, as also the prevailingreal estate market conditions or any otherreason or cause whatsoever beyond and thereasonable control of the Developer Allperiods, hereunder fixed shall be deemed tohave been extended by the periods equal tothe periods of delay on account of theconditions constituting force majeure."

Will NBCC be covered under new Real Estate (Regulation and Development) bill?

No, we are not drawing conclusions out ofdistant ratio-decidendi. Even NBCC uses forcemajeure in its agreement.

Consider this: In a State Consumer Disputeredress case: Amitava A Acharjee vs. NBCC, 2011,we learn,

“As regards the grouse seeking compensation,the complainant has referred to Clause 11 of theGeneral Terms and Conditions which reads asunder:-

NBCC shall endeavour to give possession of theApartments to the allottees within 33 monthsfrom the date of allotment of the Apartments.The possession will be given after clearing of alldues in respect of the Apartment including stampduty and registration charges as applicable.

However, if NBCC fails to so deliver (except dueto force majeure), the allottee will be paidcompensation as mentioned here in under.

Force majeure shall, inter alia include non-availability or irregular availability of essentialinputs, delay by the contractors/constructionagencies employed/to be employed, litigation,acts of God, delay in getting service connection,statutory approval, completion/occupancycertificate or such other reasons beyond thecontrol of NBCC.”

How will Smart City benefit NBCC?

What is NBCC targeting for Smart Cities?

A replicable model which will act like a lighthouse to other aspiring cities.

The four types of model Govt. identifies are:(1) Retrofitting– more than 500 acres; (2)Redevelopment– less than 50 acres (KidwaiNagar model); (3) Greenfield– more than 250acres (GIFT City model); and (4) Pan City– useof technology, information to improveservices.

A Special Purpose Vehicle will implement theproject at the City level. Here, State and ULBwill have equal share. Further, at no pointthey will have minority.

Majority of Board voting rights, thoughChairperson will be from State, rests withMoUD. More importantly, the CEO will beappointed by MoUD.

Can there be problems with this model?

Lack of executive powers: Land acquisition iswith State authority.

Lack of manpower: With limited manpower,the SPV can end up like MMRDA vs. BMC.

Lack of state representation: With this powerdistribution, State can arm twist Centre.

How will Smart City benefit NBCC?

What is the source of Finance for Smart Cities?

Other than conventional ULB financing meanslike-- Property Tax, Profession tax, entertainmenttax, advertisement tax, Octroi and entry tax,Govt. has mooted ideas– Land basedinstruments, municipal bonds, borrowing frommultilateral, NIIF, convergence with other Govt.schemes.

We believe land based instruments will open thechunky revenues.

How FSI can help?

Messrs Devesh Kapur, T.V.Somanathan andArvind Subramanian once argued for “chooseyour FSI” policy,

In this proposed policy, every builder canchoose his/her FSI. Of course, this comes withan important rider. What it is, you may think.The builder should pay for FSIs beyond thecurrent limits. For what, may you ask? This willoffset the marginal cost of providinginfrastructure. Now, city planners have tocalculate the ‘long-run marginal cost’ ofadditional infrastructure. This calculation isfeasible, albeit not easy. Once done, cityplanners may levy tax on incremental FSI. Then,the authority would mop up funds. Further,those funds will finance the needs. Simple.

What is the source of Finance for Smart Cities?Executing authority Project description Sale agreement and proceeds Use of proceeds for infrastructure

Mumbai Metropolitan

Regional Development

Authority (MMRDA) is

responsible for development

planning and

major infrastructure

investments in Greater

Mumbai region.

Bandra-Kurla is a 553-acre

site, originally developed from

marshland to be a secondary

“suburban” commercial and

office node to relieve congestion

in central Mumbai. It has

now become a valuable location

for commercial activity

and new commercial investment,

rivaling the traditional economic

center around the Stock exchange.

Two successful land sale auctions

took place in 2006–07. A total of 13

hectares of land were sold for

~US$1.2bn.

However, in a 2008 auction only

three of five parcels reached the

minimum bid threshold. About20

hectares of developable land remain

available for sale.

Government authorities announced

that sale proceeds would be used

principally to finance MMRDA’s

capital

investment plan, primarily the rail

transit program being developed in

collaboration with the World Bank

under the Mumbai Urban Transit

Project.

However, there has been no

disclosure

or public commitment as to the

exact use of funds.

How will Smart City benefit NBCC?

Is “Mission mode” way more efficient?

Had it been a central-sponsored scheme,without an SPV/mission mode, we wouldhave turned bearish on smart cities.

But then, it is not.

First, each SPV/mission earmarks scarceadministrative resources, power andattention.

If not, would it result in overburdening?

Yes, in fact, one of the problems with theproliferation of Centrally-SponsoredSchemes was that they essentially burdenedthe district magistrates (DMs) with more andmore work.

Is there a way to improve administrativecompetence?

Yes, take Bihar for instance. Here, NitishKumar, the Chief minister, at the beginningof his second term, observed that his DMswere in charge of implementing over 5,000schemes. This entailed an average scrutiny of100 files a day.

Segregation of powers: In 2011, through anexecutive order, he reduced the DM'sauthority. Here, the departmental officialunder a DM - sometimes as many as 50 in adistrict - would be responsible for signing offon files relevant to their departments.

What did it result into? Articles point outmore responsive and accountable localadministration in Bihar.

What is NBCC’s scope in housing for all?

What is NBCC targeting in Housing for all?

The need for affordable housing is widely known.

Each state is planning on three models: (1)Rajasthan Model; (2) DDA Land pooling model; (3)Gujarat/Charkop model.

First, Rajasthan model: Drafted an extensive; PPPpolicy for different types of development: (1) Landowned by the government; (2) Land owned bydeveloper; (3) Acquisition of land by thegovernment; (4) Slum rehabilitation.

Results of Rajasthan Model: Housing unitswith market price of INR1,500 per sq ft wereoffered at a cost of INR 850 per sq ft forEWS/LIG category and INR1,000 per sq ft forMIG.

Typical flat cost: EWS is Rs.240k; LIG is Rs.375k;MIG is Rs.700k.The policy facilitatedconstruction of about 235k houses in 77 cities.

Second, DDA pooling model:

The current population: 17mn. The existinginfrastructure capacity: 15mn. Expectedcapacity of 2021 population: 23mn. What doesit entail? At least 50,000 acres.

Where are the constraints? Restricted financialcapacity of DDA to acquire huge land parcels;Unwillingness on part of the land owners; Lackof transparency in the acquisition process .

How will land pooling work?

Two categories of land pooling: 2 to 20hectares; above 20 hectares

We believe land based instruments will openthe chunky revenues.

FAR allowed to DE: Residential 400;Commercial 250.

Additional 15% residential FAR (above 400) isreserved for EWS housing.

DE to develop 500 EWS houses for every 10hectare.

Example:Project: Sardar Patel Ring Road

Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority(AUDA) conceptualized the plan to developSardar Patel Ring Road.

The Sardar Patel Ring Road is a 76 km arterialring road planned in 2002. With pooling method,the project minimized the need for landacquisition. Only a stretch of 13.1km wasacquired for the project, the rest was takenthrough the pooling route.

Example:Project: Sardar Patel Ring Road

The project was divided into 3 phases:

– Phase 1: Two-laning of the entire stretch ofthe ring road and construction of 4 lanesfor major stretches. (completed in 2006)

– Phase 2: construction of 4 lanes expandingthe earlier 2 lane network

– Phase 3: construction of flyovers andunderpasses at major intersections withnational highway, state highway andimportant roads. The project also includesservice roads, bicycle tracks, and exclusivebus lanes for Bus based Rapid TransitSystem (BRTS) and walkways on both sides

Public Private Partnership for RoadInfrastructure Development, AUDA

How was it financed?

An amount of Rs.2.3bn was required for theconstruction of phase 1 of the project.AUDA: AUDA invested Rs.1.3bn from its ownresources. Further, consortium of six bankslend the balance amount of Rs.1bn.

What is the Project Returns? First, tollcollection: from the ring road amounts toRs.10mn per month. Further, through valueCapture, AUDA reconstituted approximately1 km wide belt adjacent to the ring road.

Out of the total land acquired for the project60% was returned to the land owners, 20-30% was used to develop amenities likeroads, schools and gardens, and the rest wassold as separate plot. Due to development ofinfrastructure the land value of adjacentplots increased and AUDA earned about Rs.6bn through the sale of plots.

What is Gujarat/Charkop Model?

Even within Gujarat Model, there are fourtypes to deal with affordable housing.

The first is under the Regulations forRehabilitation and Redevelopment of theSlums, 2010. It is aimed at rehabilitation ofslums. Similar to the SRA model of Mumbai,the public sector does not build or financeanything, its only involvement is throughregulations and incentives such as additionalFSI.

For the scheme to be approved forconstruction, a society of individual slumdwellers must be formed and 75 per cent ofthese individuals must agree to the scheme.This scheme is only viable where the landvalue is very high.

The second scheme is under the Regulationsfor Residential Townships Act, 2009. Itrelates to private developers who want todevelop residential townships. The targetarea of township should be at least 40 acres.

The third scheme is --within township landshould allotted to Govt. Though Govt. paysthe market rate, they also finance theinfrastructure development.

The fourth scheme is the Urban Land Ceilingand Regulation Act. Gujarat Govt. hasrepealed the Urban Land ceiling andRegulation Act and transferred surplus landto local bodies at nominal rates.

models ready on table!

Can NBCC count on Railways?

What is the scope of Railway?

On 18th February, 2015, over the conferencecall, we asked Dr. Mittal on Railway landmonetization plans.

To this, he replied, “See, we are in discussionwith railway authority to develop their landparcels, not only in Mumbai in entire country,and particularly in Mumbai we had one landparcel, I mean approximately 10 acres to 11acres in Bandra next to railway station. Sowe are in discussion with them, but I meannothing concrete has emerged till now. So letus speak, but nothing has done.”

Post railway budget FY17, we wrote, “Shouldone look at asset monetization seriously?”

We have been here; seen this; done that. Toshore up the coffers, Indian railways havebeen talking about selling or developingrailway-linked land plots–for some time now.The proof of the pudding is in eating. Rosyprojections from Mumbai and Delhi railwayplots continue to remain on paper. Shouldthe tide change, the sole beneficiary is NBCCIN.

Dr. Mittal is already in talks with

Railways! But we remain cautious.

Are the regulations in place?

On 18th February, 2011 Govt. passed an Act.

“The Standing Committee has also given itsview that in many places railway property isbeing encroached upon by the people andabout 2,300 hectares of railway land, whichis under encroachment, is mostly in metrocities. Most of the lands have beenencroached in and around metro cities andurban areas. The encroachment upon therailway property in rural areas is less.”

With these words, The Railway Property(Unlawful Possession) Amendment Bill, 2011,was passed in the upper house as an Act.

Even digitization of records is in place.

“Indian Railways have also digitised detailsof vacant plots of land measuring more thanone acre to chalk out the blue print formonetisation of its vacant land,” as perMinister of State for Railways, Manoj Sinha,in a written response to a question in theRajya Sabha in the winter session 2015.

Case Study: Sarai Rohila Railway Station

Rail Land Development Authority planned forcommercial development of 38 acres ofrailway land around Sarai Rohilla RailwayStation in Delhi. The station is centrallylocated--4 kms away the Connaught Place.The plans included Luxury residentialapartments, commercial/ shopping areas,railway housing, railway service building &common facilities, hospital/school and otheramenities, club with gymnasium and sportsfacilities.

RLDA held open auction for a 90-year landlease in 2010. Parsvnath Developers Limited,the selected developer, bided Rs.16bn forthe project, and paid Rs.3.3bn as an upfrontdown payment.

…And now…

"The development agreement with the RailLand Development Authority (RLDA) forimplementation of the project at SaraiRohilla-Kishanganj, New Delhi, through itsassociate company, Parsvnath Rail LandProject Private Ltd stands terminated due tocertain disputes between RLDA and PRLPPLand the disputes arising under thedevelopment agreement are pendingadjudication before tribunals," the companysaid in a regulatory filing on February 13th,2016.

Case Study: Mumbai TOD plans.

Consider Mumbai local trains. Travelling inMumbai local trains is a grueling task. Whydoes it happen? They are struggling formeaningful capital expenditure. The westernand central railways, from their latest annualreport, we learn the RoCE is less than 5%. Sad,that is less than some of the bank’s depositrates. More painfully, that is nearly half ofHong Kong Metro trains. And that’s bad.

What is the reason? In Mumbai, Fare boxrevenues, that is, revenues made out of mereticket selling, contribute 93% of the totalrevenue.

Figure: The time is now—Mumbai needs highershare of non Fare box revenues.

How Mumbai railways increase non-fare boxrevenues? (1) A Japanese Metro style transitlinked real-estate development. Has Governmentthought on this? We learn, MMRDA is thinking onthis since 2013. The progress is tepid, but ourhopes are not; (2) Higher FSI for nearby railwayplots and value unlocking—a CIDCO model; (3)higher advertising revenues and operationalefficiency to squeeze profits.

Is the latest acquisition a worrying point? First, Why did this happen? In the past,

Govt. had plans to merge four public sectorundertakings.

We believe this is in continuation of theearlier plans. The companies which are beingconsidered for merger are National BuildingsConstruction Corporation (NBCC), HindustanPrefab Ltd (HPL), National ProjectConstruction Corporation Ltd (NPCC) andHindustan Steelworks Construction Ltd(HSCL).

The Board for Reconstruction of PublicSector Enterprises (BRPSE) has constituted atask force to examine different options,which may include project-based consortiumfor business bids.

As per BRPSE, “All these companies in oneway or other are engaged in constructionactivities and possess synergies.

A combined entity by way of merger maycreate a giant company and are capable ofbecoming a navratna firm."

National Buildings Construction CorporationLtd has informed BSE that the Board ofDirectors of NBCC have accorded in-principleapproval for takeover after restructuring itsBalance Sheet. This would involve waiver offLoans with interest up to the date oftakeover and providing further contributionfor contingent liabilities.

HSCL was established in 1964 as aconstruction organization under the Ministryof Steel, Govt of India. It diversified into aversatile infrastructure portfolio all over thecountry. It became the major player inimplementation of integrated steel plants. Ithas been a pioneer of Infrastructure projectsin the North Eastern regions includingProjects under Bharat Nirman Programme ofGovt of India .

The acquisition is by and large

synergistic!

Is the latest acquisition a worrying point?

What about financials? HSCL’s target orderbook was supposed to be Rs.85bn by the endof FY16. We are not clear if the orders offinalized. Further, order intake is primarilyaimed at SAIL and NMDC’s capacityexpansion program. Roads and bridgescontribute 12% of the total order book. Thetotal income is Rs.15bn in FY15. Though thiscompany is net loss at Rs.81mn, theoperational profit was Rs.1.1bn at the end ofFY15.

Other than SAIL, NMDC, Roads, Is HSCL adiversified business model? Granted, HSCL isone of the three PSUs identified by theMinistry of External Affairs to carry out theconstruction and repair of 50,000 low-costhouses in Sri Lanka. This was as a part of thecommitment of Govt. of India forresettlement of Internally Displaced Persons.Scheduled for initiation soon, the project islikely to usher in a new era of overseaspresence for the company, company hascommented in the past. Further, thiscompany has signed an MOU with theTogolese Republic for implementation ofHousing projects bears the testament offaith imposed on HSCL by the countriesoverseas also.

Debt on the target company is a

concern. However, NBCC has

asked Govt. to absorb it.

Are there substitutes for NBCC? Orders are one thing; profitability is

quite another. Is that the case?

No. And here is the reason why: First, AskShobbit Uppal, the Deputy managingdirector of Ahluwalia Contracts or MKrishnamurthi, the Chief Corporate affairs, ofVascon, and they will acknowledge thehardships of working with NBCC.

Second, management themselves claims thatthey are working on superior business modelunmatched. And with sovereign backing, thecompetitive advantage is forever.

Third, through a litany of high courtjudgments in litigation, we are convincedNBCC is the killer in the value chain.

Is market microstructure an issue? What will, if any, be the impact of

additional inventory offloaded byGovt.?

• No, there is no impact.

• First, with Government owning 90% ofthe stake, and unmatched themepresent before investors, marketmicrostructure supersedesfundamentals.

• Now, as per Security Contract(Regulations) Rules, 1957, minimumthreshold of public holding is 25%. Tocomply with this rule, we speculateNBCC, with Government approval, willdilute its stake going forward.

• However, using our models, theadditional quantity of inventory, marketfears of fall in prices is overblown.

Second, NBCC can propose an FPO to raise seedmoney to invest in redevelopment projects.

But then, this money is ring fenced with returns ifnot matching, exceeding the cost of equity. Andmore importantly, this is not cash guzzling strategylike L&T.

Why do we think valuation is cheap?

Why the valuation is still cheap?

• First, scalability of business model isintact.

• Second, there is a visibility to that.

• Third, the Return on equity is far aheadof cost of equity.

• Fourth, from implied growthexpectations, we see the potential ofNBCC to double over the next fouryears.

• Fifth, add focus on uncertain orders, thefair value may even triple.

• Sixth, across the industrial value chain,there is hardly a stock that can matchthis theme. Thus, over the next fouryears, we will not be surprised if thestock price achieves the target price ofRs.2,000.
