MOSL: INDRAPRASTHA GAS (Buy)-Far away from the electric shock

Indraprastha Gas: Far away from the electric shock

(IGL IN, Mkt Cap USD3b, CMP INR297, TP INR389, 31% Upside, Buy)

 

  • The Delhi Cabinet aims to introduce 1,000 electric buses by Jun'20. This is in addition to CNG buses (500 low-floor and 500 normal).
  • We note that Energy Efficiency Services Ltd (EESL) has not progressed much with the earlier order of 10,000 electric cars. More so, the recent tender of additional 10,000 cars has been quashed indefinitely.
  • Multiple medium term triggers exist in the form of (a) intercity/highway travel on CNG, (b) higher conversion of LCVs, (c) increasing differential of diesel vehicles v/s petrol/CNG post the BS-VI implementation, (d) increasing launches from OEMs, (e) newer applications, (f) stricter enforcement of pollution norms in industries, and (g) growth in existing and newer areas. 

Electric vehicles not ready to take off

  • EESL floated its first tender for 10,000 EVs in Aug'17, with the first phase of 500 cars to be delivered by Nov'17 and the rest by Jun'18. The tender was closed after much delay in Jan'18, with revised delivery deadline of Mar'19.
  • Only 10% of the contracted EVs were delivered by end-Dec'18, extending the timeline further to Sep'19.
  • EESL's tender in Nov'17 for 250 charging stations was finally awarded after cancellation of the first tender (Sept'17) and the follow on snap-bid (Oct'17), pitiful when compared against the ~4,000 charging stations required for efficient running of 10,000 EVs.
  • The second tender for additional 10,000 EVs in Apr'18 got cancelled as the automobile companies awaited government policies on specifications for the charging infrastructure.
