MOSL: GAIL INDIA (Neutral)-The long-awaited final trigger disappoints

GAIL India: The long-awaited final trigger disappoints

(GAIL IN, Mkt Cap USD10.3b, CMP INR316, TP INR351, 11% Upside, Neutral)

 

  • The Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) announced an integrated tariff hike for GAIL India’s (GAIL) HVJ and HVJ upgradation pipelines to INR41.1/mmbtu (proposed: INR97.0/mmbtu).
  • The regulator-approved tariff indicates an increase of only ~4% from the current weighted average margin of INR39.7/mmbtu. This comes in as a big disappointment as the street was expecting a much higher tariff hike of ~25%. We were considering it as the only positive medium-term trigger for the stock.
  • Given the aforementioned disappointment, along with rising concerns on other business segments, we reiterate our Neutral rating with a target price of INR351.
