At inflection pointMomentum in defense orders would result in re-rating; Buy

PIPV enjoys early mover advantage and best-in-class infrastructure in the defense

shipbuilding segment. It has strong strategic partnerships with international players

and a robust order book of INR67b (4.5x TTM revenue).

Key events to monitor: JV with Mazgaon Dock, ongoing negotiations with friendly

countries for naval exports, 'offset' opportunity, attempt to emerge as an integrated

defense player (including army and airforce). Increased visibility on these opportunities

will lead to re-rating possibilities, while there could be volatility in the interim period.

The stock is available at a market capitalization of INR50b, below its replacement cost

of INR67b. We initiate coverage with a Buy rating.

India's growing defense expenditure presents a huge opportunity: Given the

~USD200b expected allocation to defense capital expenditure for the period

2012-2017, India is set to ramp up its naval capabilities meaningfully. With its

'Buy Indian, Make Indian' initiative, the Ministry of Defense (MOD) is increasing

stress on indigenization. The Ministry also envisages a greater role for the private

sector, which should benefit established players like PIPV.

PIPV is suitably positioned - has first mover advantage, strong international tie-

ups: PIPV enjoys first mover advantage and best-in-class infrastructure in the

shipbuilding segment. It operates the second largest shipbuilding capacity in

the world. PIPV uses modular construction technology, with two 600MT Goliath

cranes, which enables it to reduce the construction and delivery time of vessels.

Further, it enjoys strong strategic partnerships with several international players,

which should aid robust warship order booking in the near future. MOD's growing

stress on indigenization and its Mazgaon JV should boost order intake.

Capacity utilization increasing; expect revenue CAGR of 40% over FY12-14: PIPV's

current capacity, which is currently USD1.7b (in terms of revenue potential), is

likely to shoot up to USD2.5b once the second dry dock becomes operational by

2014. In FY11, capacity utilization stood at USD170m (10% of total capacity). We

now expect capacity utilization of USD360m (22% of total capacity) in FY12. We

expect revenue to grow at a CAGR of 40% over FY12-14. Our earnings estimates

largely factor in execution of the existing order book of USD1.3b. We have not

factored in possibilities of increased defense orders.

Initiating coverage with a Buy rating: We believe that PIPV is well placed to

exploit the massive opportunity that India's defense sector offers in the next

few years. It has global-sized assets and best-in-class tie-ups. Also, PIPV offers

the only credible large-size exposure for investors to India's defense business.

We estimate net profit at INR532m for FY12 and INR809m for FY13, translating

into an EPS of INR0.8 for FY12 and INR1.2 for FY13. We value PIPV based on

replacement cost method at INR67b (INR100/sh). Initiate coverage with a Buy.

India's growing defense expenditure presents a hugeopportunityMinistry of Defense stressing on indigenization, welcoming private sector

Apart from the ~USD200b allocated to defense capital expenditure for the period 2012-

2017, India is set to spend ~INR600b over the next five years on improving its military

infrastructure and another INR600b on the Mountain Strike Corps.

With its 'Buy Indian, Make Indian' initiative, the Ministry of Defense is increasing stress on

indigenization. It intends to increase procurement from Indian companies from the current

30% to 70% in the next five years.

The Ministry also envisages a greater role for the private sector, which should benefit

established players like PIPV.

The approval of the guidelines for the formation of JVs between state-owned defense

entities and private sector organizations by the Union Cabinet will help accelerate the

process.

Geopolitical challenges underscore need for stronger defense capabilitiesGrowing geopolitical challenges have made the Government of India realize the vital

need to strengthen its defense capabilities. India is located at a prime position in the

Indian Ocean, with over 7,517km of coastline. In addition to the challenge of protecting

its sea-facing boundaries, India also shares long, contested borders with two nuclear-

armed neighbors - Pakistan to the West, and China to the East.

Recently, China entered into an agreement with Seychelles, which will allow the

Chinese navy to re-supply and recuperate its vessels there. Due to its strategic location

just off the coast of Africa/Madagascar, this base will give China direct access to the

West Coast of India. In addition, China has a naval base in Myanmar and is building a

commercial port in Sri Lanka. Recognizing these threats, the Government of India is

continuously making efforts to ensure its naval security in the Indian Ocean, which in

turn will lead to demand for better quality defense vessels.

Indian sea trade accounts for ~90% by volume and ~77% by value of India's aggregate

trade. The Indian economy is dependent on the sea for oil & gas exploration and

production, commercial trade, etc. Thus, the stability of the Indian sea trade is

becoming increasingly important. Protecting India's maritime assets is more crucial

than ever before.

India's growing defense expenditure presents a huge opportunityIndia is set to spend ~INR600b over the next five years on improving its military

infrastructure. It is spending another INR600b on the new Mountain Strike Corps in

the North East. Both these outlays are in addition to the estimate of ~USD200b

allocated to defense capital expenditure for the period 2012-2017. Due to the 'Buy

Indian, Make Indian' policy put in place by the MOD, a large part of this sum will go to

domestic companies. Even in case of imports, there is an offset clause that benefits

domestic companies. For any defense contract for capital purchases of over USD60m

(INR3b), the foreign vendor is required to allocate 30% of the contract value to Indian

players, primarily in the defense, internal security and civil aerospace sectors.

According to the Ministry of Defense (MOD), there could be an offset opportunity of

USD15b over the next five years.

Sizable opportunity prevails in defense spaceTo meet the massive geopolitical challenges, the Indian Armed Forces are likely to

order military hardware worth USD200b over the next five years.

Navy: The present fleet of the Indian Navy has ~120 ships on active duty, with an

additional 36 ships in the process of being built. The Indian Navy needs over 100

ships of diverse variety, including submarines, aircraft carriers, landing platform

docks, destroyers, frigates, corvettes, patrol vessels, etc. There also exist

significant opportunities abroad, as foreign friendly nations drift down to low

cost defense equipment providers.

Army: The Indian Army has the largest share of India's defense outlay. It is

currently looking to procure Heavy Artillery Systems (towed and self propelled)

worth over USD5b. Private sector participation in the ambitious Future Infantry

Combat Vehicle (FICV) is a first and will be an opportunity worth USD8b-10b over

the next 5-8 years. Besides this, the Indian Army is in the process of upgrading a

number of its legacy combat systems such as BMP2 (infantry vehicles) and T-72

tanks amounting to ~USD5b. The Indian Army will also be looking at private

industry for the maintenance, repair and overhauling (MRO) of its major systems.

Air Force: The Indian Air Force gets the second largest defense outlay after the

Indian Army. It is in the process of finalizing the largest fighter jet procurement

in the world, the Medium Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA), expected to be

worth USD20b. Besides this, it is also in the market for Strategic Heavy and Tactical

Cargo Aircraft, Airborne Early Warning Systems, Aerial Refuelers, Heavy, and

Medium, Light and Attack Helicopters. There is also huge tri-services requirement

for Air Defense Radar and Missiles, which will be procured from global industry

majors, but will be manufactured under transfer-of-technology in India.

India imports 70-75% of its defense requirement from the foreign nations. The

government aims to reduce its dependence on imports by encouraging indigenization,

with the introduction of the ‘Buy Indian, Make Indian’ category in its defense

procurement policy. The increasing stress on indigenization is also the result of several

bitter experiences that India has had in sourcing defense equipment from overseas.

For instance, India had once placed an order for a Scorpion submarine with France.

The order was executed with a delay of four years and the eventual cost was 4x the

original. Similarly, the Indian Navy’s order for a Gorshkov Class Aircraft Carrier

witnessed a price escalation of 3x.

Such experiences led Defense Ministry to initiate the policy of ‘Buy Indian, Make

Indian’. The government has also suitably modified its policies to allow greater

participation by domestic private sector companies. The MOD has directed public

sector companies to enter into partnerships with private players that have the

requisite capabilities and foreign collaborations.

Increasing role of private sector playersIn addition to its 'Buy Indian, Make Indian' initiative, the government has also suitably

modified its policies to allow greater participation by domestic private sector

companies. For instance, the MOD has decided to liquidate the piling orders of

government shipyards to private players like PIPV and L&T. The cumulative order

book of government shipyards, which have a combined execution capacity of USD1b,

is USD28b. Restricting defense orders to government shipyards would have severely

constrained the growth of India's naval fleet. Mazgaon Dock, which has the largest

order book (of USD22b) among the government shipyards, has a JV with PIPV. We

expect significant order flows to this JV.

PIPV is suitably positionedFirst mover advantage, strong international tie-ups

PIPV enjoys first mover advantage and best-in-class infrastructure in the shipbuilding segment,

including:

- The world's second largest drydock with a capacity of 662x65(mtr)

- Modular technology, with two Goliath cranes and combined capacity of 1,200mt

- Strong international tie-ups

It has a robust order book of INR67b (4.5x TTM revenue).

MOD's growing stress on indigenization, Mazgaon JV, and growing demand from non-defense

segments should boost order intake in the near term.

Enjoys first mover advantagePIPV is well placed to capitalize on its first mover advantage in the shipbuilding

segment. It has a capacity to build ships upto 400,000DWT, which is the second highest

in the world. Any new private player would need 8-10 years to set up a comparable

facility. Land acquisition, required environment clearances, construction, license

procurement and technology tie-ups can take an average of 10 years. This gives an

established player like PIPV an added advantage.

Second largest shipbuilding capacity in the world after HyundaiPIPV operates the second largest shipbuilding capacity in the world, capable of

constructing vessels up to 400,000DWT. Hyundai Heavy, the largest shipbuilder has a

total capacity of 1,000,000DWT. PIPV intends to become the world's largest shipbuilding

company after completing the conversion of its second wet dock facility to a dry dock.

It has a shipbuilding, ship repair and offshore fabrication complex spread over 750

acres with ~720 meters of sea front and 685 meters of outfit quay, including two

Goliath cranes of 600 tons each, which service the dry dock and the adjoining pre-

erection berth, enabling PIPV to handle up to 1,200 tons of pre-outfitted ship blocks.

A host of other technologically advanced infrastructure makes PIPV one of the most

modern shipyards in the world.

construction and delivery time of vessels, as it is able to simultaneously work on

different orders. It has a separate shipbuilding facility, which breaks down a complete

ship into separate blocks for construction, which include cutting, forming, blasting,

painting, steel stacking, treatment and welding. The dock is used to only assemble

mega blocks with the help of two installed Goliath cranes.

Defence PSUs can have JVs with CosCabinet nod may increase chancess for obtaining foreign technology

Date: 10 Feb 2012

The government on Thursday made a significant step for bolstering domestic defence industrial base by clearing

of guidelines for its defencePSUs to establish joint ventures with private firms. This could increase opportunities

for obtaining advanced technologies from foreign sources. However, though the defence sector was opened up

in 2001-02 to 100% private investment, with up to 26% FDI, it did not have the desired impact on the performance

of the eight defence PSUs.

"The Union Cabinet today approved the guidelines for establishing Joint Venture Companies by Defence Public

Sector Undertakings(DPSUs). The guidelines contain provisions for important matters that are critical from a

national security perspective," an official release said. "The ministry will issue the guidelines to harness the

emerging dynamism of the private sector in India and increasing opportunities to obtain advanced technologies

from foreign sources through adoption of appropriate partnership approaches by DPSUs," it said. There was

urgency in laying down guidelines as the government is in the process of negotiating over 40 offset contracts

worth Rs 50,000 crore with global armament firms. Besides, the $20 billion MMRCA project will have 50% offsets.

JVs were allowed in the Defence Production Policy released last year but was put on hold by the ministry after

the Mazagon Dockyards (MDL) tied up with a private shipyard, which was opposed by rival companies. Officials

said the guidelines would help in "enhancing fairness and transparency in the selection of the JV partner" by

DPSUs while ensuring a "well-defined nature and scope" of the tie up. According to the guidelines, DPSUs will

retain the "affirmative rights" for taking key decisions in the JV company.

"Retention of the affirmative right of DPSU for prior approval to key joint venture decisions, such as amendments

to the articles of association of the JV company, declaration of dividend, sale of substantial assets, and formation

of further subsidiaries," the release said.

The guidelines provide a "streamlined, fair and transparent framework for entering into JVs by DPSUs, with the

ultimate objective of better risk-management and shorter time frames for delivery to meet the increasing

demands of our armed forces." They said the new framework would also help in enhancing self-reliance in the

defence sector as a whole.

According to the guidelines approved by the Cabinet, DPSUs will have the "exit" provision in the joint venture

companies.Source: Economic times

Significant opportunity in non-defense segments as wellThere is significant opportunity in non-defense segments, as well, which PIPV is well

placed to exploit.

Growing demand for ship repair: In India, ~50% of the commercial fleet is more

than 15 years old and Indian ship owners are expected to spend ~USD4b to replace

old ships during FY10-15. While PIPV stands to gain from increasing domestic

demand for commercial shipbuilding and repair, we expect it to garner significant

overseas orders as well. International MRO facilities are running at overcapacity

and are looking to offload work to low cost destinations like India. PIPV's

infrastructure is comparable with Chinese and Korean players.

Huge demand for offshore supply vessels: The demand for high-end offshore

facilities such as drill ships and floating production storage platforms amounts to

USD20b-40b. With rising oil prices, this segment is gaining importance. Higher

demand for offshore assets would lead to a consequential increase in demand for

offshore supply vessels (OSVs) required to service them.

Partnerships with global giants boost ability to deliverPIPV enjoys strong strategic partnerships with 9-10 international players, which should

aid robust warship order booking in the near future. It has also initiated the process

of working with six friendly nations to build warships at its facilities in accordance

with the government of India's policy framework. Besides, PIPV is working towards

developing suitable infrastructure to tap the significant opportunity the Indian Army

offers. It has recently entered into a strategic partnership with Airbus Industry, France,

which will allow the company to cater to the aerospace segment as well, both for civil

Expect steady growth in earningsBuy with a target price of INR100

We believe that PIPV is well placed/ahead of the curve to exploit the massive opportunity

that India's defense sector offers in the next few years.

We estimate net profit at INR532b for FY12 and INR809b for FY13, translating into an EPS of

INR0.8 for FY12 and INR1.2 for FY13.

We initiate coverage with a Buy rating and a replacement cost-based target price of INR100.

Rightly placed to capture defense order opportunityThe private sector defense business is at a nascent stage in India. Given the various

government initiatives encouraging indigenization and private sector participation,

we believe defense orders offer immense opportunity to private sector players. PIPV

is well placed/ahead of the curve to exploit this opportunity in the next few years. It

has global-sized assets and best-in-class tie-ups. Also, PIPV offers the only credible

large-size exposure for investors to India's defense business.

Capacity utilization increasing; expect revenue CAGR of 40% over FY12-14PIPV's current capacity, which is currently USD1.7b, (in terms of revenue potential) is

likely to shoot up to USD2.5b once the second dry dock becomes operational by 2014.

In FY10, capacity utilization stood at USD13m (7% of total capacity), which grew to

USD170m (10% of total capacity) in FY11. We now expect capacity utilization of

USD360m (22% of total capacity) in FY12. We expect revenue to grow at a CAGR of 40%

over FY12-14. With pick-up in utilization levels, we expect significant boost to revenue

growth and margin expansion, going forward.

We have forecasted EBITDA margin at 23% for FY12 and 25% for FY13. We estimate net

profit at INR532m for FY12 and INR809m for FY13, translating into an EPS of INR0.8 for

FY12 and INR1.2 for FY13. Our earnings estimates largely factor in execution of the

existing order book of USD1.6b. We have not factored in possibilities of increased

defense orders (including from Mazgaon Shipyard JV, offset clauses, exports to friendly

countries, strategic tie-ups with several defense majors, positioning as an integrated

defense player, etc). Some of these orders could materialize in FY13, leading to serious

earnings upgrades (we currently factor in capacity utilization of just 28% in FY13).

Replacement cost the appropriate measure of fair value; BuyWe believe that PIPV is well placed/ahead of the curve to exploit the massive

opportunity that India's defense sector offers in the next few years. It has global-

sized assets and best-in-class tie-ups. Also, PIPV offers the only credible large-size

exposure for investors to India's defense business. We believe that the near term

stock performance is more a function of macro news flows and order intakes. Hence,

an earnings based valuation approach may not be the correct representative of the

fair value for PIPV, given the low capacity utilization in the interim period. We thus

value PIPV based on replacement cost method at INR67b (INR100/sh). We initiate

coverage with a Buy rating.

Appendix II: Defense procurement procedure, 2011

BackgroundThe Defense Procurement Procedure - 2002 (DPP- 2002) came into effect from 30

December 2002 and was applicable for procurements flowing out of 'Buy' decision of

Defense Acquisition Council (DAC). The scope of the same was enlarged in June 2003

to include procurements flowing out of 'Buy and Make' through Imported Transfer of

Technology (TOT) decision. The Defense Procurement Procedure has since been revised

in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009 enhancing the scope to include 'Make' Procedure, and

'Buy and Make (Indian)'categories.

As part of the review exercise and on basis of experience gained in the procurement

process, Defense Procurement Procedure has now been revised to DPP-2011.

AimThe objective of this procedure is to ensure expeditious procurement of the approved

requirements of the Armed Forces in terms of capabilities sought and time frame

prescribed by optimally utilizing the allocated budgetary resources.

ScopeThe DPP-2011 will cover all Capital Acquisitions, (except medical equipment)

undertaken by the MOD and Indian Coast Guard both from indigenous sources and

ex-import. Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Ordnance

Factory Board (OFB) and Defense Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) will, however,

continue to follow their own procedures for procurement.

Capital AcquisitionsCapital Acquisitions are categorized as under: -

Acquisitions Covered under the 'Buy' Decision: Buy would mean an outright

purchase of equipment. Based on the source of procurement, this category would

be classified as 'Buy (Indian)' and 'Buy (Global)'. 'Indian' would mean Indian vendors

only and 'Global' would mean foreign as well as Indian vendors. 'Buy Indian' must

have minimum 30 % indigenous content if the systems are being integrated by an

Indian vendor.

Acquisitions Covered under the 'Buy & Make' Decision: Acquisitions covered under

the 'Buy & Make' decision would mean purchase from a foreign vendor followed

by licensed production / indigenous manufacture in the country.

Acquisitions Covered under the 'Buy & Make (Indian)' Decision: Acquisitions

covered under the 'Buy & Make (Indian)' decision would mean purchase from an

Indian vendor including an Indian company forming joint venture / establishing

production arrangement with OEM followed by licensed production / indigenous

manufacture in the country. 'Buy & Make (Indian)' must have minimum 50 %

indigenous content on cost basis.

Acquisitions Covered under the 'Make' Decision: Acquisitions covered under the

'Make' decision would include high technology complex systems to be designed,

developed and produced indigenously.

Appendix IV: Offsets mechanism

ScopeThe offset clause would be applicable for all procurement proposals where indicative

cost is INR3b or more and the schemes are categorized as:- 'Buy (Global)' involving outright purchase from foreign / Indian vendors and 'Buy and Make with

Transfer of Technology' i.e. Purchase from foreign vendor followed by Licensed Production.

A uniform offset of 30% of the estimated cost of the acquisition in 'Buy (Global)'

category acquisitions and 30% of the foreign exchange component in 'Buy and Make'

category acquisitions will be the minimum required value of the offset. Offset

obligations may be discharged only with reference to "eligible" products and eligible

services.

The procedure for implementing the offsets provisions is:
