Indraprastha Gas - huge negative - analysis
PNGRB has notified the network charges and compression tariffs for IGL’s network – 60% lower than the demanded tariffs
PNGRB today notified the network charges and compression tariffs for IGL’s network, the same comes as a significant negative surprise to us. The tariffs are around 60% lower than the IGL’s bid. Against the tariffs filed by IGL of Rs8.7/scm, PNGRB has notified the tariffs of Rs3.4/scm. Our earlier interaction with IGL had highlighted that difference in the estimates of company and PNGRB’s consultant of around Rs1.5/scm, thus the difference of Rs5.3/scm comes as a major surprise. IGL’s management has not specified the future course of action to be taken with regards to the PNGRB tariff. We believe, the future earnings of the IGL would be largely a function of the marketing margins (not regulated by PNGRB currently) allowed to be earned on the sales of the natural gas. We expect a major gap down for IGL in the tomorrow’s trading sessions. We will update our view on the stock based on the management interaction, thus we currently rate the stock as under-review.

Getting worked up!
Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.- Albert Einstein.
There remains a lot of clutter in terms of news flow. A weaker-than-expected US jobs report served as the backdrop for the latest pullback in global equities. China’s higher-than-estimated inflation data and reports of discord with North Korea resuming nuclear tests added to the gloom. US stock indices lost ~1% each. European markets were shut due to extended Easter holidays.
Asian markets are mixed today with those not open for trading on Monday falling and others more stable. We see a steady opening for our markets. The key stock indices may trade sideways in a range today. The next few sessions will see them react to IIP and inflation data apart from the Infosys results. Market participants are also cautious ahead of next week’s RBI policy meeting. External cues will also continue to play a role in driving the sentiment in the near-term.
