Utilities: Power oversupply has started shrinking

  • Indian power oversupply has started correcting. PLF has started improving after seven years of descend. This trend will continue on slowing of capacity add and accelerated retirements, even as demand growth remains steady.
  • The financial stress in the sector has further constrained supply. As we move towards market balance, margins in merchant power business will trend up.
  • The market will get balanced at lower than the previous cycle peak PLF due to displacement by renewable energy.
  • We expect demand for new PPAs will emerge soon. JSP (BUY) with high share of cost efficient merchant capacities will be the key beneficiary. We upgrade JSWE to Neutral on higher merchant prices, partly offset by increase in coal cost. We continue to like PWGR, NTPC and CESC.
