India overtakes China in PE funds
by Sanjeev Bhalla on Tue 06 Nov 2007 10:33 AM IST
Private equity (PE) investment in India has overtaken China this year to emerge as the biggest Asian destination (excluding Japan) for PE funds. Investments have crossed $10 billion between January-October as against $8.3 billion recorded in China in the same period, says a report from investment advisory firm IndusView. China received $13 billion worth of PE investments in 2006 compared to $7 billion in India during the same period. The equation has, however, changed since then with India leading the Asian charts this year. Real estate and infrastructure emerged as the top sectors attracting PE investment in India this year accounting for half of the total PE money flowing into India through 52 deals. Out of this, real estate received $2.6 billion through 32 deals. Real estate as a sector was closely followed by telecom with $ 2.1 billion worth of PE investments

Ajit Jain

Ajit Jain (अजित जैन) (born, 1951 in India) is a businessman who currently heads several reinsurance business for Berkshire Hathaway[1] and has been touted as a possible successor to Warren Buffett.[2]
Jain's potential rivals to head up Berkshire when Buffett departs are Joseph Brandon, who heads up Berkshire Hathaway's General Re Corp., whose offices in Stamford, Connecticut are about a mile away from Jain's; Richard Santulli, who runs NetJets Inc., an operator of private jets; and Tony Nicely, chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway's GEICO Corp.[3]

How did RPL fare versus all domestic OMCs?

How did RPL fare versus all domestic oil refining and marketing companies with regards to their valuations and capacities? CNBC-TV18’s analysis throws up some interesting findings.
RPL has basically higher GRMs (Gross Refining Margins) compared to most other companies. Most of it is because of the latest machineries and technologies that RPL uses, produces estimates of about USD 15-18 per barrel of GRMs versus USD 6 of other companies.

A look at all the oil and marketing companies versus RPL will reveal what is in store. All these are 2010 estimates because RPL will go on-stream in 2010. So CNBC-TV18 analysis considered 2010 estimates.

The total revenue is close to about Rs 4,74,481 crore for all the oil and marketing companies put together versus Rs 21,908 crore for RPL – these are 2010 estimates.

PAT (profit after tax) for all the other oil and marketing companies is estimated to be close to about Rs 10,416 crore versus 2010 PAT of about Rs 7,424 crore for RPL. PAT is low for all these oil and marketing companies put together on those higher sales is because these companies have lower GRMs.

A look at the refining capacity reveals that RPL will have a refining capacity of close to about 28 million tonnes per annum versus the refining capacity of all the oil refining and marketing companies put together is about 117 million tonnes. That means that RPL has one-fifth the refining capacity of all the oil and marketing companies put together.

A look at the refining capacity reveals that RPL will have a refining capacity of close to about 28 million tonnes per annum versus the refining capacity of all the oil refining and marketing companies put together is about 117 million tonnes. That means that RPL has one-fifth the refining capacity of all the oil and marketing companies put together.

Having said that, MCap of all the oil and marketing companies is still lower than RPL. RPL’s MCap is about Rs 120,000 crore versus Rs 100,000 crore of all these oil refining and marketing companies.

CNBC-TV18 and other estimates value other oil refining companies less aggressively than RPL. Why these companies are conservatively estimated is because of the subsidy burden, which these companies have. The marketing losses that PSUs and other companies have to take have also been considered.

At some point in time, these marketing companies will be profitable. So the lower estimates that have taken on PAT will increase aggressively. Having said, that analysts are not saying that RPL is expensive or the other oil and marketing companies are cheaper at this point in time. They are just giving a comparison between all the other oil refining and marketing companies versus RPL at this point in time.

RPL’s EPS is close to about 16.5 in 2010 versus all the oil refining and marketing companies; it is close to about Rs 202. So one can imagine the difference over there, also price to earnings ratio of RPL in 2010 is estimated about 16.1 versus 9.6 - that is the average price to earnings ratio of 2010 of other oil refining and marketing companies.

These are just comparisons, analysts are not saying that one thing is cheaper than the other or one thing is more expensive than the other. These are just comparisons between other oil refining and marketing companies and RPL.
