Valuations & view
GMR’s Airport business continues to witness significant strength and TDSAT’s recent order granting DIAL return on RSD is an added positive. Further AERA’s recent consultation paper on granting base charges for DIAL establishes DIAL’s long term economic viability. Further, GMR has reached a settlement agreement with PE investors in GMR Airports. We believe this paves way for a speedy resolution of the dispute with the investors. An imminent IPO of the business is a near term trigger for the stock besides potentially reducing the corporate debt levels. The twin operating plants of Warora and Kamalanga have operationally turned around led by tariff hikes and improved fuel supplies. The stock trades at 2.8x FY19E P/B. Maintain Outperformer with a TP of Rs25.
