SumanSpeaks Independent Capital Markets & Geopolitical Intelligence POLITICAL ECONOMY | PART 1: THE TELECOM TEST The Sangh’s Costliest Blunder: Keeping Narendra Modi in the Chair After Demonetisation and a Trail of U-Turns Two private giants, one state-propped survivor, roughly ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced BSNL revival and support packages (spectrum allocation included), and ₹1.41 lakh crore of AGR dues still on the books: telecom shows what happens when one man’s brand becomes the party’s only policy. This is an argument against Narendra Modi, not against the BJP. SYNOPSIS India’s telecom market has narrowed from a messy but real plurality into two dominant private networks, one weak private survivor kept alive by government equity, and a public operator that has needed about ₹3.22 lakh crore in announced support packages and spectrum allocations, not all of it cash. The 2010 spectrum auctions that started the debt spiral were a UPA-era event, and we say so plainly. But a ...

'Buy' rating on Thermax Ltd, target price Rs 850: Motilal Oswal
[Essar Refinery is the first in India and among a few in Asia to set up coal fired boilers for steam and power requirements. This is expected to result in increasing the refining margins by ~$1 per barrel......this success can be an important trend setter, particularly in the refinery and petchem segment]
We maintain our ‘buy’ rating on Thermax Ltd with an 18-month price target of R850 per share (20x FY16e at R762 per share and R86 per share in subsidiaries). At the current market price of Rs 690, the stock trades at price-to-earnings (P/E) of 27.3x FY14e, 23.4x FY15e and 17.5x FY16e. Our top picks in capital goods segment are Larsen & Toubro, Thermax, Cummins. We recently upgraded Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) to ‘buy’ and believe the risk-reward is favourable.

Coal-fired boilers installed by Thermax at Essar Oil’s refinery have completed one year of working at rated conditions. This is an important milestone the company given that this is the highest capacity boiler (750 TPH) and first pulverised coal fired system from Thermax, according to Thermax’s in-house magazine “FireSide” highlighting milestones achieved by its business divisions.

Essar Refinery is the first in India and among a few in Asia to set up coal fired boilers for steam and power requirements. This is expected to result in increasing the refining margins by ~$1 per barrel. We believe this success can be an important trend setter, particularly in the refinery and petchem segment.

Thermax has been honored with the ‘Best Innovator Award 2013’ by the Biotechnology Research Assistance Council, Govt of India. Further, as part of the indigenization program for Indian Navy, Thermax has successfully developed “Burners” for the boilers of the fighter aircraft carrier, INS Viraat. This is an important milestone and 1,000 hours of on-board initial sea runs were logged in to get the final approvals.
