    Investment Summary

    Indian scenario: Situation set to improve Regulated industry with little incentives for efficiency or capacity additions

    Growing fertilizer consumption leading to rising imports with almost no domestic capacity addition

    Domestic prices not aligned with rising international prices

    But rising promoter stakes, inspire confidence

    Regulatory changes: Need of the hour Surmounting subsidies

    Additional supply of natural gas, a key feedstock for Urea

    Government imperatives: Decontrolling the sector in a phased manner

    Incentivizing domestic capacity addition

    Huge profit/ re-rating potential for urea companies in de-regulated scenario Rising fertilizer demand, driven by consumption in developing countries

    Tight supply with new capacities added near the market place or sources of feedstock Global stock prices/ M&A activity at premium valuations

    How to choose companies:` Cost competitive Companies located near gas pipelines

    ` Dynamic entrepreneurs and shareholder orientation

    ` High ROE companies utilizing cash efficiently either in expansion or diversification

    Fertilizer Supply Trends Production is shifting towards regions with low cost

    Units in the North American and EU region have been

    Indian Fertilizer Industry: An Overview

    Steady Demand Growth 3-5% in the past

    20 years

    Nearly self sufficient in Urea (N). A large

    part of MOP (K) & P (DAP) demand is metthrough imports due to urea pricing

    advantage and unavailability of inputs for

    K&P production

    Consumption tilted in favor of N against an

    ideal ratio of 4:2:1 in turn leading to soil

    deterioration

    Fertilizer Demand: Expected to remain firm

    Fertilizer demand likely to remain firm Rising food grain demand with an increasing

    population and limited acreage to translate into

    additional fertilizer needs

    There is no perfect substitute for chemical

    fertilizers due to limitations of organic fertilizers in

    terms of quality as well as availability

    Additional land for farming is unavailable

    thus improving fertilizer consumption

    Subsidy Burden: Mounting at a rapid pace

    Fertilizer subsidy as a percentage of fiscaldeficit is ~15% and is mounting

    Fertilizer subsidy burden on the rise Subsidies increasing at a rapid pace

    Subsidy spending (including the concession on P &K)touched Rs 22.5 bn in FY07, growing at a CAGR of

    20% in last 5 years

    Share of fertilizer subsidies as a percentage of total

    explicit subsidy spending has increased alarmingly

    Rising fertilizer imports Currently, costly urea being imported instead of

    incentivising cheaper domestic production

    Subsidy spending on imported urea increasing at a

    rapid pace

    A large portion of P & K is being imported due to theunavailability of raw material

    Relatively cheap pricing of gas is critical!

    Natural gas availability? Increased availability of natural gas is likely

    to ensure undisrupted supply of natural gas

    for fertilizer units

    Increased domestic supply likely to soften

    natural gas prices

    Government intervention and private

    investments in the sector remain integral to

    pricing decisions
