MOSL: TATA POWER (Neutral)-Debt remains elevated; Mundra PPA renegotiation can provide relief

TATA POWER: Debt remains elevated; Mundra PPA renegotiation can provide relief; Maintain Neutral

(TPWR IN, Mkt Cap USD2.3b, CMP INR60, TP INR64, 7% Upside, Neutral)

 

Tata Power's (TPWR) 1QFY20 consol. operational performance (EBITDA and PAT of JVs) increased 19% YoY to INR23.4b, led by a better performance of the Mundra-Coal JV hedge and Maithon. Adj. PAT increased 19% YoY to INR2.6b (in-line).

  • Mundra (EBITDA) and coal JVs (PAT) increased 27% YoY to INR4.2b. Given the decline in coal prices, there was no significant impact of DMO obligation for its JVs. Further, tariff escalation at Mundra - on account of timing difference - also lowered its under-recoveries, in our view.
  • RE (ex-standalone) EBITDA increased 10% YoY to INR5.4b, led by a 21% YoY increase in generation to 994MU. Capacity increased 13% YoY (8% QoQ) to 2.1GW.
  • Maithon EBITDA rose sharply to INR3.3b (vs. INR1.9b) on account of the favorable order related to capex approval (INR1.4b benefit).
  • Interest cost rose 13% YoY to INR11.4b. Tax came in at INR3.4b on account of INR1.1b of dividend distribution tax for its coal SPVs.
