    Recently, we met the management of Adani Enterprises (AEL). The key highlights of ourinteraction are as follows:Power plant to lead the valuation pack

    Adani Enterprises (AEL) is setting up a 2,640 MW thermal power plant in Mundra (Gujarat)

    through Adani Power, a wholly-owned subsidiary. This power plant has coal linkages with

    an Indonesian block having a reserve of 140 mn MT. The power has been pre-sold to

    Gujarat Electricity Board (GUVNL) at a purchase power agreement (PPA) rate of INR

    2.60/KWH. We have used the DCF method to value the equity part of the investment (25%

    of total capital employed) at INR 127 bn, which comes to INR 518 per AEL share.

    Trading business to provide stabilityAEL is a successful trading company with presence across commodities such as agro,coal, power, gas, petroleum, fertilizers, fruits and vegetables, and metals and minerals. In

    FY07, it recorded a turnover of INR 1,70 bn and a PAT of INR 1.7 bn. We have valued the

    trading business using residual income valuation model at INR 24 bn, which comes to INR

    98 per AEL share.

    Coal blocks to provide comfortAEL has struck coal blocks in Indonesia and India. While the Indonesian block (140 mn MT)

    will be used to meet the captive requirement of the power plant at Mundra; the Indian block

    (200 mn MT) will be used for mining coal for Rajasthan State Electricity Board (RSEB). We

    have valued the Indian block at INR 13.7 bn, which values each AEL share at INR 55.6.

    ValuationsWe have valued AEL using the sum-of-parts (SOTP) methodology, with the total value of AEL

    at INR 755 per share. We have adopted the most conservative approach for valuing all the

    businesses of the company, as they are still in their implementation stage. Hence, our SOTP

    value bears risks of further upsides. However, given its history of successfully turning around

    the Mundra port, we feel that the management has the bandwidth of executing various

    projects in the pipeline.

    Valuations(A) Trading businessWe have valued the trading business using a residual income valuation model.

    Methodology We have added the net worth for all the trading companies and multiplied it by the

    difference between the ROE and cost of equity.

    Resultant figure is the residual income. We have discounted the residual income with thecost of equity, to arrive at the present value of all the trading businesses.

    We have done this exercise up to 2011-12 and then used a terminal valuationmethodology.

    The present values of all the trading businesses are as follows:

    Mill land developmentWe have not ascribed any value to the mill land development at Borivli and Byculla because it

    involves development of land and not owning the same. However even if we assign a value

    using a NAV basis we do not think that the project provides substantial upsides.

    Key RisksExecution challenge:

    The biggest challenge for AEL is the execution risks for all the projects in the pipe line. As of now it

    has only the trading business to fall back on which is valued at INR 98 per share. The balance value

    is coming from all the projects that are in the pipeline.
