INFRASTRUCTURE

 

The 11th Plan laid emphasis on development of physical infrastructure including transport to support the accelerated growth of the countrys economy. The thrust in the sector has been on augmenting capacity through technology upgradation and modernisation. In this regard, improving accessibility to remote and rural areas and enhancing mobility through various programmes with enlarged participation of private sector have been the objectives of the 11th Plan.

 

Roads

 

India has the second largest road network in the world totaling 3.3 mn kms. Yet, Indias road network continues to be inadequate with road densities of 2.83 km/1000 people and 770 kms/1000 square km of road length versus global average of 6.7 km/1000 people and 840 kms/1000 square kms of road length. National Highways account for 2.1 per cent of total road network and carries 40 per cent of road traffic.

 

In this backdrop, the Government has laid down ambitious plans for development and upgradation of the domestic road network which involves 20 km/day of constructing roads and therefore has planned huge investment for the sector i.e. Rs.6764000.000 Millions (17 per cent of total infrastructure spending) in the 12th Plan from Rs.2787000.000 Millions in the 11th Plan. Private sector participation through Public-Private-Partnership is also being actively encouraged to achieve greater efficiencies in development, operation and maintenance of road networks which is expected to contribute 16 per cent (i.e. Rs.460 billion) of the total road infrastructure spending in the 11th Plan.

 

Railways

 

Indian Railways is the worlds second largest rail network under single management i.e. 95 per cent of the total investment by Central and State Governments. To scale up capabilities to meet the increasing flow of traffic, the Government has allocated Rs.2000000.000 Millions in the 11th Plan which is expected to double i.e Rs.4000000.000 Millions in the 12th Plan in railways including metro railways. There is growing demand from many states for setting up metro projects. The allocation for metro railways for the 11th Plan is Rs.330000.000 Millions whereas the metro projects sanctioned so far alone would need Rs.700000.000 Millions which is much higher than allocation. Railways are highly capital intensive projects and the government alone would not be able to fund the requirement which creates an obvious opportunity for private players to bid for metro projects and other opportunities in the sector. A few projects in Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad have already been awarded under Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) route and going forward, there will be tremendous shift in the investment pattern.

 

Aviation

 

Civil Aviation forms a very important infrastructure in boosting trade and commerce as well as in enhancing overall international competitiveness. In value terms, nearly 30 per cent of Indias foreign trade is handled by the airports. India is a very attractive market for airport and avionics equipment manufacturers, airport developers, service providers, airline companies, aviation schools, investors and job seekers. The projections for both passenger and cargo traffic growth, coupled with the deficient and lagging airport and allied Infrastructure, calls for an need to build and augment Indias aviation infrastructure.

 

In India, currently there are 127 airports including 16 international airports, 8 customs declared airports, 79 domestic airports, and 24 civil enclaves at the defense airfields, all of which are being managed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI). The Government has further identified 35 non-metro airports for development, involving the setting up of terminal buildings, car parks, and cargo and other airside facilities. From being a near monopoly service with few operators a decade ago, the sector has now graduated to being a fiercely competitive industry with the presence of a number of private and public airlines catering to the different segments of air travelers such as low cost, business class and charter aircrafts. The private sector is expected to contribute 64 per cent i.e Rs.230000.000 Millions of the total investment in airport infrastructure.

 

Real Estate

 

The Indian real estate sector plays a significant role in the countrys economy which contributes to almost 6 per cent of the countrys GDP .The government has introduced many reforms such as 100 per cent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) allowed in realty projects through automatic approval route and in case of integrated townships, the minimum area to be developed has been brought down to 25 acres from 100 acres so as to unlock the potential of the sector and also meet increasing demand levels.

Power Sector

 

Indian power sector has witnessed a significant demand supply gap due to sustained growth of power demand, historical shortfalls in generation capacity addition (53 per cent shortfall in the 11th Plan) and high transmission and distribution losses. Consequently, peak load deficit in India has been in the range of 11-17 per cent in financial years 2000-10 which has constrained the economic growth of the country. Driven by the need to alleviate the significant power deficits faced by the country, the Government has targeted massive investments in entire power sector chain of Rs.8380000.000 Millions in the 11th Plan and Rs.11350000.000 Millions in the 12th Plan.

 

Generation

 

India has the fifth largest generation capacity in the world. The Government of India has set ambitious target that includes Power for all by 2012 and annual per capita consumption of electricity to rise to 1,000 units by the year 2012. At the beginning of the 11th Plan Indias installed capacity was about 132 GW which has increased to 175 GW as on March 31, 2011. The Government has planned capacity addition of more than 63 GW and 100 GW during the 11th Plan and 12Ith Plan respectively entailing investment of Rs.4110000.000 Millions in the 11th Plan and Rs.4950000.000 Millions in the 12th Plan. The Ministry of Power has undertaken several policy initiatives such as National Electricity Policy, Ultra Mega Power Project policy, Ultra Mega Transmission Project policy, etc. to boost private sector participation and the private sector has responded very positively to these initiatives. Private sector contribution is expected to be much higher in the 11th Plan i.e. 32 per cent of expected capacity addition as compared to only 13 per cent in the 10th Plan.

 

Transmission

 

In order to develop the transmission system in the country, the 11th Plan focuses on formation of National Power Grid which has been recognized as flagship endeavour towards planned growth of the power sector. One of the primary reasons for high Transmission and Distribution losses in India has been the historical neglect of the transmission and distribution sector in the previous five year plans. This necessitates the fund requirement of Rs.1400000.000 Millions in the 11th Plan and Rs.2400000.000 Millions in the 12th Plan for developing the transmission system. To meet such a huge resource requirement and to achieve economy in cost of operation of assets, private participation is imperative.

 

Reliance Energy Energy Distribution Division of Reliance Infrastructure

 

MUMBAI DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS

 

Reliance Energy, the Distribution business division of the Company, has been in the field of power distribution for over eight decades and has achieved the distinction of consistently operating its distribution network at 99.98 per cent reliability.

 

Revenue

 

The billing revenue of Reliance Energy for the year was Rs.50910.000 Millions (previous year Rs.56930.000 Millions) and wheeling revenue, from migrated customers, was Rs.1230.000 Millions (previous year Rs.150.000 Millions) based on the tariff determined by Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC). The reduction in revenue, as also corresponding reduction in cost of power purchase, is due to migration of consumers to the other licensee which supplies electricity using the RInfra network.

 

System Demand

 

The coincident peak demand registered during the year was 1,671 MW as against 1,516 MW during the previous year, growing at 10 per cent.

 

Network Augmentation

 

In order to meet the rising demand, network augmentation is a continuous process. During the year, High Tension (HT) cable network increased from 3,651 kms to 3,814 kms with addition of 163 kms and total Low Tension (LT) cable network increased from 4,713 kms to 4,871 kms with addition of 158 kms.

 

During the year under review, the installed capacity of Power Transformers increased by 80 MVA to 2,832 MVA. The installed capacity of Distribution Transformers increased by 218 MVA to 4,373 MVA. The Company added 212 new substations, and has 5,596 sub-stations at the end of the year.

Reliance Energy continues to focus on system loss control through a variety of technical and physical means, some of which are as follows:

         Maintenance of network loading at optimum loading level.

         Refurbishment and replacement of old cables and distribution transformers.

Installation of capacitors to reduce inductive loads in the system.

         Implementation of Distribution Management System (DMS)

Monthly meter readings at various levels in the system and analysis thereof through the process of energy audit to identify potential areas of improvement.

         Vigilance drives in the areas with higher levels of losses contributed due to power thefts.

 

 

Delhi Distribution Business

 

The Delhi distribution companies (Discoms), viz., BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) in South and West, and BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) in East and Central Delhi are implementing a series of measures aimed at improving customer service, fulfilling thier corporate social responsibility and reducing aggregate technical and commercial (ATandC) losses so as to benefit the consumers from all perspectives. Year 2010-11 witnessed one of the strongest operating performances by the Delhi Discoms with significant improvement across major operating parameters.

 

The ATandC losses have declined steeply from 19.03 per cent in BRPL and 23.11 per cent in BYPL in 2009-10 to 16.83 per cent and 19.89 per cent respectively during the year against the MYT target level of 17 per cent and 22 per cent with reduction of 0.17 per cent and 2.11 per cent for BRPL and BYPL respectively. The corresponding Transmission and Distribution losses came down by 1 per cent in BRPL and 2.5 per cent in BYPL. Average overall collection efficiency was maintained at 101 per cent in BRPL and 102 per cent in BYPL during the year. This over-achievement entitles BSES to performance incentive (cumulative up to financial year 2011) of Rs.2940.000 Millions (BRPL-Rs.910.000 Millions, BYPL- Rs.2030.000 Millions).

 

The Delhi distribution companies registered an aggregate total income of RS.60580.000 Millions during the year (excluding income from sale of power aggregating to Rs.14190.000 Millions) against Rs.58650.000 Millions in the previous year, an increase of nearly 3.3 per cent. The income for the current year is net of rebate allowed to the domestic consumers pursuant to the roll back of the tariff hike announced by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi.

 

The aggregate power purchase cost increased from Rs.53770.000 Millions (15368 million units at Rs.3.50 per unit) to Rs.71100.000 Millions (16,468 million units at Rs.4.32 per unit), an increase of Rs.17330.000 Millions (32 per cent) due to higher Bulk Supply Tariff (BST). The current year purchase cost is net of income from sale of bulk power and related units. The other operating expenses have either declined, remained constant or have increased marginally. This was achieved through tighter control and monitoring of all operating expenses and processes.

 

The aggregate capital expenditure incurred during the year amounted to Rs.4710.000 Millions (BRPL- Rs.2940.000 Millions, BYPL- Rs.1770.000 Millions) for the upgradation, strengthening and modernization of the distribution system. The aggregate net block including current work in progress stood at Rs.45870.000 Millions. The additional loans sanctioned by various banks during the year 2010-11 for financing the capital expenditure of the Discoms aggregated to Rs.5500.000 Millions and disbursement availed was Rs.7050.000 Millions. The aggregate fund based limits sanctioned by a consortium of banks for working capital was Rs.5250.000 Millions against which the utilization was Rs.3150.000 Millions, net of cash and bank balances.

 

The aggregate consumer base has grown by 0.97 lakh customers for BRPL and 0.63 lakh for BYPL, bringing combined customers for Discoms to almost 26 lakh customers.

All the meters are now electronic and all 1711 feeders and 10500 distribution transformers are metered with strong analytics in place. On reliability front, Average System Availability Index has gone up from 99.85 to 99.87 in BRPL and from 99.84 to 99.88 in BYPL.

 

Key functional initiatives of BRPL and BYPL

 

External Interface

         Increased frequency and transparency of interactions with external stakeholders such as resident welfare associations, government officials, the regulator and the media.

         Knowledge sharing with delegates from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan and many more with the Ministry of Power.

         Many new initiatives aimed at Customer satisfaction:

         Vishisht Sahyogi BSES Brand Ambassadors

         BSES Aap Ke Dwar RWA interactions

         Project Arpan- Clothes distribution to the poor

         Vivad Samadhan Schemes and Lok Adalats and Amnesty Schemes

 

 

Orissa Distribution Business

 

The operations of 3 distribution companies of Orissa viz. Western Electricity Supply Company of Orissa Limited (WESCO), North Eastern Electricity Supply Company of Orissa Limited (NESCO) and Southern Electricity Supply Company of Orissa Limited

 

(SOUTHCO) were constrained by the unremunerative tariffs and high level of ATandC Loss.

 

There was no tariff revision for initial 10 years of privatisation. With an intention to off shoot the rise in the Bulk supply Price, OERC has increased Retail Supply Tariff (RST) and Bulk Supply Tariff consecutively for the financial year 2010-11 and financial year 2011-12. With the recent increase in Bulk Supply Price including Transmission charges, the average Bulk Supply Tariff of WESCO from Rs.2.18 to Rs.2.88 and that of NESCO from Rs.2.19 to Rs.2.90 and in the case of SOUTHCO from Rs.1.14 to Rs.1.60 witnessing an all Odissa average increase of 30 per cent, not corresponding to increase in RST. This has squeezed the margin and further aggravated the financials of the Discoms.

 

However, on a Writ filed by some of the consumers associations, this new revised tariff for the financial year 2011-12 has been stayed by Honble High Court Orissa. Further to this, there is also an adverse impact of southward shift in industry consumptions in recent years coupled with massive village electrification.

 

The major drawback in Orissa Distribution Tariff and Annual Revenue Determinations are unrealistic and unachievable loss targets i.e. difference between actual prevailed loss level vis--vis target loss envisaged by the Regulatory Commission. The revenue loss on account of not attaining target loss given by OERC loss reduction trajectory takes out the approved OandM expenses, leaving the Return on Equity scarcely to meet its Bulk supply Price and urgent need based OandM expenses.

 

The Discoms have been seeking support from Regulators and the State Government to make operations financially viable including amicable settlement, complete restructuring and rescheduling. The Government of Odissa has appointed a high level inter- Ministerial Committee to resolve various chronic issues between Discoms and Grid Corporation of Orissa Limited, the three Discoms have made a comprehensive presentation and are awaiting the outcome.

The plant is operated based on the dispatch instructions from its customer, Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).

 

 

Wind Farm Project operates 36 windmills with an aggregate generation capacity of 9.39 MW at Chitradurga in Karnataka. Wind Farm Performance is being constantly monitored through the SCADA system at the wind farm.

 

Transmission Business

The Company is developing five transmission projects worth about Rs.66000.000 Millions making it the largest private player in the transmission sector. Moreover, the Ministry of Power has notified the applicability of tariff based competitive bidding for selection of developers for all transmission projects with some exceptions. So far, eight inter-state transmission projects have undergone tariff based competitive bidding process. These projects were identified by the Government of India for development by private players on a Build, Own, Operate and Maintain (BOOM) basis.

 

Reliance Power Transmission Limited (RPTL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has emerged as successful bidder in four of these projects approximately worth Rs.45000.000 Millions . With these projects, RPTL is now executing inter state transmission projects worth approximately Rs.55000.000 Millions. Five more new projects worth approximately Rs.80000.000 Millions have been notified by the Ministry of Power recently and are due to undergo the process of tariff based competitive bidding.

Mumbai Transmission

 

To meet the ever-increasing load growth of the city of Mumbai, projects worth over Rs.18000.000 Millions were conceptualized for the internal strengthening of the transmission network of Mumbai. The projects had received the approvals from the State Transmission Utility (STU) and the regulatory body, MERC. The projects would boost the transmission network of Mumbai by augmentation of transmission capacity by 2,625 MVA and addition of 114 ckms of transmission lines.

 

The projects include commissioning of 8 new 220kV EHV sub-stations amongst other schemes to improve the availability and reliability of the network. In the first phase, 5 such EHV sub-stations are under execution at different locations in Mumbai with 3 of them at Goregaon, Gorai and Saki being successfully charged in the year. The innovation of the Company was at its forefront with the vertical configuration of the EHV sub-stations within the building. This unique vertical designing helped in erection of the sub-stations in a minimal area of approximately 3,500 sq mtrs which is 10 per cent of that required for a conventional AIS switchyard. Extremely difficult and challenging activities such as laying 220 kV cable through the busy streets of Mumbai were successfully completed as a part of these projects. Works for the balance projects under execution too are in full swing and would be commissioned progressively.

 

A total capital expenditure of approximately Rs.4350.000 Millions was incurred with Rs.2230.000 Millions capitalised in the year. The Company also received in-principle clearance worth more than Rs.2000.000 Millions in the year from MERC.

 

On the network availability front too, the Companys network has not tripped for close to 300 days at a stretch. RInfras transmission network has registered an all time high availability of 99.76 per cent during the year as against the regulatory target availability of 98 per cent. The system also maintained a very high reliability index of 99.997 per cent. This was possible due to the philosophy of adopting the best practices and the tireless efforts of thier dedicated team.

 

North Karanpura Transmission Project

 

The project was awarded on Build, Own, Operate and Maintain (BOOM) basis with approximate project cost of Rs.16000.000 Millions. It involves construction of three 765 kV transmission lines of length of approximately 800 kms and two 400 kV transmission lines of length of approximately 250 kms. These lines would connect Lucknow, Bareilly, Meerut, Agra, Gurgaon, Sipat and Seoni.

 

The project being executed through a SPV viz. North Karanpura Transmission Company Limited also involves construction of one 400/220 kV GIS substation at Gurgaon.

Projects under Execution

 

1. Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited

 

Delhi Airport Express Line project, the first high speed airport link project was awarded by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRC) through a global competitive bidding process on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) framework to RInfra led consortium in 2008. A special purpose vehicle, namely, Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited was incorporated for the implementation, operations and maintenance of the project.

 

The metro connects the city centre i.e. New Delhi railway station to the International Airport and with further connection to Dwarka. Delhi Airport Metro Express Line became operational in the fourth quarter of financial year 2010-11 and is also the first PPP metro project to become operational in India. The project has been built in a record time of 27 months from the date of signing of Concession Agreement with DMRC and has received an overwhelming response from the commuters. In addition to high speed connectivity to Airport/Dwarka, the line also is designed to provide city check in facility, wherein passengers can check in their luggage at the city airport terminals counters set up at the stations.

 

2. Mumbai Metro One Private Limited

 

Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar (VAG) Corridor Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) project, first metro project in the country was awarded by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) through a global competitive bidding process on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) framework to RInfra led consortium.

 

A special purpose vehicle, namely, Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL) was incorporated which entails design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the project. The metro will provide the much needed east to west connectivity and carry about 6 lakh commuters/day initially at very affordable fares benchmarked to fares charged by Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking. The biggest advantage would be the substantial reduction in travel time from the current 90 minutes to about 20 minutes along with much improved and comfortable traveling experience.

 

The project achieved financial closure in 2008 and all contracts have been awarded. Civil work is going on in full fledged manner and is in advanced stage of completion. Preparations for operations and maintenance are also in full swing.

 

The first train has arrived in Mumbai from China in April 2010. Factory Acceptance Test of various other rail systems equipment is largely complete and their delivery to site is in progress. Till date, MMOPL has obtained Rs.3330.000 Millions of viability gap funding from MMRDA, out of a total of Rs.6500.000 Millions. Despite various ground constraints, the project is scheduled to be commissioned before its contractual commissioning date i.e. September 2012.

 

Though intense efforts are being made to complete the project ahead of the contractual commissioning date, several constraints including the delay in the following is impeding the speedy completion of the project:

 

a. Delay in receipt of land and Right of Way to the project. Even at this stage of the project, some portion of the right of way is still to be given for carrying out the project execution work.

b. Very narrow and congested right of way in many locations, encroachments, vast and complex web of underground utilities led to repeated modifications in project designs repeatedly which had implications on timelines and project cost.

c. Delay in obtaining clearance for construction of the bridge across the railway lines at Andheri was the major factor causing deferment of project timelines. The railway authorities have over the past four years considerably changed the scope of the construction of the bridge, leading to change in design to an all steel bridge necessitating construction of a pier between railway tracks.

 

Besides, congested roads with high vehicular and pedestrian traffic and restricted working hours during night in many stretches due to opposition from residents are also hampering the speedy execution of the project.

Despite various ground constraints, the project is scheduled to be commissioned before its contractual commissioning date.

3. Mumbai Metro Transport Private Limited

 

Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd Corridor Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) project was awarded by MMRDA through a global competitive bidding process on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) framework to RInfra led consortium in 2009. A special purpose vehicle, namely, Mumbai Metro Transport Private Limited (MMTPL) was incorporated which entails design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the project. This project involves viability gap funding of ` 2,298 crore which will be obtained from MMRDA.

 

The metro will provide the much needed connectivity between all the suburban lines i.e., VAG corridor at Andheri, Western line at Bandra, Central Line at Kurla and Harbour Line at Mankhurd and will carry about 14 lakh commuters/ day initially at very affordable fares benchmarked to fares charged by BEST. The biggest advantage would be the substantial reduction in travel time along with much improved and comfortable traveling experience.

MMTPL has achieved financial closure of Rs.70000.000 Millions which is the largest financial closure for a PPP project in the country. MMTPL has already commenced the initial design and engineering works, appointment of consultants, obtaining necessary approvals, etc.

 

Airports

 

As globalization continues to take hold, the competitiveness of industry is increasingly relying on airports and aviation infrastructure. With rising passenger and cargo traffic, the importance of airports as growth and development catalysts will only increase in the future. With big airports facing increasing congestion and fierce resistance to expansion plans, the small and medium-sized sectors have enormous upside. Small and medium-sized airports are notching up double-digit growth rates and to cash in on this development Reliance Airport Developers Private Limited (RADPL) has ventured into this business connecting emerging small towns of India to the rest of the world.

 

Airport Projects

It has been awarded lease rights to develop and operate 5 brownfield airports in Maharashtra at Nanded, Latur, Baramati, Yavatmal and Osmanabad for 95 years for which upfront premium of Rs.630.000 Millions has been paid. It has also extended support to Sasan Power Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance Power for developing airstrip / airport at Sasan where a captive power plant is being developed. These airports are located in regions with strong political, industrial, agricultural and religious activities and play host to many national and international dignitaries.

 

Project Progress

 

Nanded and Latur Airports have obtained aerodrome license from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). At Baramati airport, the terminal building has been refurbished along with a VIP Room facility. Osmanabad airport terminal building is under construction. Recarpeting and widening of the runway at Yavatmal airport have been completed and operations by non- scheduled aircraft have commenced. RADPL has incurred capital expenditure of Rs.98.800 Millions for refurbishment of these airports till date.

 

Nanded Airport is connected to Mumbai, Delhi and Nagpur through commercial scheduled flights by GoAir and Kingfisher Airlines. Apart from this, charter operations are also increasing at Nanded airport. All other airports i.e. Latur, Baramati, Yavatmal and Osmanabad host various air charter / non scheduled services. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance connectivity to several other locations in India, various airlines such as Indigo, Jet, Spice

Jet and Deccan Charters have been approached to explore new routes.

 

RADPL has adopted aggressive business development strategies. Both outdoor and indoor advertising opportunities are also being explored at all the airports. Aviation Training academies are being operated from 2 airport locations. Terminal retail and hotel development deals are at advanced stages. Apart from these, RADPL has added innovative revenue streams at these airports such as automobile testing, film / TV commercials shooting, aero sports events, airshows, etc.

 

Cement

 

During the year under review, Reliance Cementation Private Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of RInfra, has achieved certain milestones towards setting up two plants, one in Maihar, Madhya Pradesh and the other in Mukutban, Maharashtra. In line with its vision to set up cement plants across India, it has applied for various mining leases (ML) / prospecting licences (PL) in the states of Karnataka, Orissa, Chattisgarh, Gujarat and Rajasthan.

BT500 2011 list a treasure trove ; The 2011 edition of the 'India's Most Valuable Companies' offers just one listing of the private firms and PSUs. The most comprehensive ranking reflects a new world where investors reward, or punish, companies in proportion to the value (shareholder wealth) they create or destroy; ownership is incidental.

0h, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet...

Rudyard Kipling, The Ballad of East and West, 1892

Twenty years ago, when Business Today was born, private companies and government-owned companies (or public-sector units, PSUs) would marry well with Kipling's immortal line. Finance Minister Manmohan Singh had just announced the onset of nation-changing economic reforms, but their impact would be visible only later.

India, an agrarian nation subject to extreme red-tapism, was growing at sluggish 'Hindu' growth rates of around 3.5 per cent.

PSUs enjoyed monopoly - through regulation - in their sectors. More importantly from BT's perspective, most of the big listed PSUs had very low public float and were almost completely owned by the government.

So, when the first was published in 1992, only those PSUs were ranked that had low government ownership. Needless to say, they were very few. It was only a few years later that PSUs were put together and ranked in a separate list.

In these 20 years, the country has transformed. 'New India' is one of the world's fastest growing economies, driven by sectors like software services, telecom, pharmaceuticals, retail, real estate and automobiles. Global investors have taken note, and both FII (foreign institutional investor) and FDI (foreign direct investment) have become buzz-words.

There are four PSUs in the top 10 of BT500, and eight in the top 20

The Top 10 in the metals and mining sector outshone their counterparts in other sectors with a 47 per cent growth in McapThousands of multinational corporations have set up shop, even as thousands of Indian companies have made a beeline to foreign shores.

That last set - surprise - also includes leading PSUs; they are almost unrecognisable today compared to 20 years ago. They are acquiring both companies as well as assets abroad; they have become leaner, more efficient, more competitive.

More importantly, their ownership is not as dominated by government shareholding, thanks to the disinvestment process, which also brought into the stock markets a variety of government companies in various sectors.

And so, 20 years after the BT500 rankings began, there remains no case for PSUs and private companies to be ranked separately. The 2011 edition of the BT500, therefore, offers just one listing.

The most comprehensive ranking of 'India's Most Valuable Companies' just got more comprehensive. The change reflects a new world where investors reward, or punish, companies in proportion to the value (shareholder wealth) they create or destroy; ownership is incidental.

Change is in the air

In the merged list, one outcome remains unchanged. Reliance Industries, traditionally the No. 1 private company, retains its top billing in the combined list as well. But traditional PSU No. 1, ONGC, does not take the No. 2 slot. That goes to new hot stock Coal India, a PSU that listed on November 4, 2010 to an overwhelming response.

There are four PSUs in the top 10, and eight in the top 20. These are all strong companies in their own right, and capable of challenging the big private entrepreneurs and their enterprises.

To ensure better comparability, we also combined last year's private and PSU rankings. All last year ranks mentioned here reflect that. This year, two of the biggest value creators have added more value than last year, a significant achievement in a volatile, even sliding, market.

Helped by its Rs 10,000-crore capital outlay plan over the next three years, UltraTech Cement posted an 88.85 per cent growth in its market cap this year (April-September, the period taken into account for BT500 rankings), compared to 74.18 per cent last year. Also significant is Bharti Airtel's performance in the light of its strong foray into African markets.

Last year, the telecom major's market cap had declined 24.13 per cent; but this year, it has grown 27.7 per cent. But many other big companies saw the dice roll the other way. Three of Reliance-ADAG's companies lost significant market value.

Reliance Communications, thanks to mounting debt, saw a decline of 46 per cent in market value in 2011, following a 37.97 per cent fall in 2010. Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Capital's market caps have fallen 45.6 per cent and 31.8 per cent, respectively.

Four PSU companies - Hindustan Copper, MMTC, Neyveli Lignite Corporation and Steel Authority of India - recorded erosion in their 2011 market value compared to growth posted in 2010, due to a decline in global commodity prices.

In terms of sectors, information technology, or IT, put up a relatively better show this year. A 1.6 per cent slide in Infosys's market cap and a 37 per cent growth in TCS's market cap propelled the latter into No. 1 rank in IT after three years.

TCS leveraged its broad-based services offerings and delivery capabilities, even as Infosys focused on pricing and margins. The change in guard at Infosys also created some uncertainty.

A stable rupee for the larger part of financial year 2010/11 propped up the IT companies, which found many takers for their services in the cost-conscious, recession-hit Western economies. On the other hand, the real estate sector has seen the maximum damage.

DLF's market cap has fallen 28 per cent, and Unitech's, 56 per cent. While DLF's rank slid by 10 slots, Unitech fell from No. 69 last year to No. 123 this year. Their beleaguered situation reflects the state of the industry.

Rising interest rates and scarcity of working capital have increased their cost of funds; and buyers are sitting on the fence owing to higher prices and increased home loan rates. Experts feel high prices and low volumes cannot co-exist for long, particularly in a tight liquidity environment.

So, unless interest rates go down and make borrowing and buying affordable, price correction is the only immediate source of respite.

That interest rates are unlikely to go down in a hurry is evident from the high inflation levels, despite hikes in interest rates by the banking regulator - Reserve Bank of India - becoming a way of life. The rate hikes have percolated into the deposit and lending rates of banks, increasing the cost of funds for banks and the borrowing costs for its customers.

"Banking stocks have been marred by the perception of high credit costs," says Raamdeo Agrawal, Joint Managing Director of Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Agrawal feels rate hikes have crossed their peak, and banking will be a much bigger opportunity when the hikes are reversed. However, the rising interest rate scenario coupled with a slowing economy could spell trouble for the banking sector with the likelihood of rising non-performing assets.

Rising inflation and interest rates have hit companies hard, but there are other worries, too: higher input costs (including raw materials), fuel costs and salary costs. The net result is stress on profitability and compression in margins. The uncertain global economic climate, especially in Europe, has led to bouts of volatility in the capital markets. While equity capital raising has been at a near standstill, higher interest rates have made debt capital expensive too. Companies have little choice but to pass on much of these costs to customers.

Happily, consumer demand has been unrelenting, leading to healthy top-line growth (read The Slow, Great Squeeze, page 76). What has added to the gloom is the slowdown in FII inflows. A comparison of BT500 data with FII inflows over the past five years reveals interesting details. In 2007, the top 500 companies (including the public sector) had a healthy 25 per cent growth in their April- September average market capitalisation; FII inflows in the same period surged by $10.98 billion. In 2008 and 2009, the BT500 market capitalisation declined by 0.68 and 1.75 per cent, respectively. In 2008, FIIs recorded an outflow of $5.77 billion in the first six months.

But in April-September 2009, with India's improving domestic prospects and lack of better investment opportunities elsewhere, FIIs registered a net inflow of $13.37 billion. That improved further in April-September 2010, when the FII inflow of $13.83 billion was matched by a 36 per cent growth in the BT500 market cap. This April-September, though, the top 500 companies' market cap has inched up by 2.71 per cent; FII inflows have been just $0.66 billion.

Finally, even as we made the landmark decision to merge private companies and PSUs into a unified ranking, we also looked at two sides of a certain coin. On one side, we examined companies that have slipped out of the top 25 over the past 19 years (read Fallen Leaves, page 70) and what lessons their slide holds. On the other, we looked at companies that have inexorably risen through the ranks over the past five years. One of them, Adani Enterprises, ranks at No.19. Read about Adani, and the six other companies in this league in Chartbusters, on page 62. Twenty years later, these companies might be the big boys, with other challengers hot on their heels. But let us leave that for another day.

'Govt failure may lead to dark days ahead'

 

Mumbai: The city may head for "powerless" days in future if the government fails to clear the stumbling blocks land acquisition and environmental clearances-hampering the project of setting up a new transmission network of high-capacity lines.

With the city's existing transmission lines, which bring in a major share of electricity from outside, breaking down and failing to sustain the shooting electricity demand of Mumbaikars, load-shedding could become inevitable if new lines were not laid in time, warned officials of Reliance Infrastructure and Tata Power Company.

The caution was sounded at an interactive session between the officials and citizens at a symposium on "The power situation in the state; can it be free from load-shedding by 2012?" held at Vile Parle on Wednesday. State power company officials, though being invited to the event, organized by Urja Prabodhan Kendra and Utkarsha Mandal, chose not to attend it.

Incidentally, MSETCL, MERC, RInfra, TPC and IIT-B, in their reports, had recently warned of power cuts if the state failed to set up a high tension network and substations for Mumbai by 2012. much more than the existing 3,191 MW during peak hours. .

TPC official Anant Kakirde said TPC, RInfra and MSETCL had been trying to lay the high-tension network, as per the transmission plans approved by the state electricity regulatory commission, MERC. "But opposition from slum dwellers and problems over permissions from the forest and the CRZ departments are deterring us from achieving the target," said Kakirde, adding that Mumbai's power demand was growing faster than in any other part of the country.

Pointing at the seriousness of the situation, Pravin Hundiwale of RInfra said if any of the transmission lines collapsed, the city would plunge into long hours of load-shedding. "Without a new receiving station for Mumbai, it will be difficult to get additional power required to meet the demand in the city. The new system also promises less transmission and distribution loss, thus saving more electricity," Kakirde added.
