Corporate Announcements & Financial Scoreboard Expect 12-15% growth for HSCL over next 2-3 years: NBCC (#) (Rs.197, -1%)

NBCC (India) Ltd management met analysts yesterday to discuss the Hindustan Steelworks Construction Ltd

(HSCL) acquisition that came into effect on Apr 1. In an interview to media, Anoop Kumar Mittal, CMD of

the company spoke about the latest happenings in his company and sector. "For the next two-three years I

am expecting minimum 12-15% topline growth for HSCL", he said, adding that he also expects 6-7%

bottomline growth for HSCL in FY18. Margin performance for FY18 should be in the range of 6-7%, he

PTC India (#) ties up pacts for 1,050 mw wind power supply (Rs.100, -3%)

Power trading solution provider PTC India has announced execution of agreements with seven state utilities

for sale of wind energy for a total 1049.9 mw. The agreements were exchanged between PTC and discoms

in presence of Power Minister Piyush Goyal at a conference of power, new and renewable energy and

mines ministers of states and UTs held here yesterday, the company said in a statement. The distribution

utilities of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Odisha, Delhi and Noida have signed up. Uttar Pradesh is

the largest beneficiary of the scheme and has signed the memorandum of agreement (MoA) for 440 mw.

Earlier this year, the tariff for wind energy was discovered transparently through competitive bidding at a

historic low of 3.46 per unit. "The scheme is very beneficial for the power industry as a whole and the wind

industry in particular. It will attract more investments in the industry and lower tariff through competitive

bidding, which will benefit end consumers. This model will be very helpful for scaling up wind power

generation in the overall renewable energy basket in future," Deepak Amitabh, Chairman and Managing

Director, said in the statement. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) had formulated the

scheme for tying up of 1,000 mw ISTS (Intra- state Transmission System) connected wind power in India.

Under the scheme, the projects are to be set up in windy states for supply of power to non-windy ones and

UTs. PTC is the trading partner responsible for purchase and sale of wind power under the programme. The

government successfully completed the first ever auction of wind power and associated infrastructure for

1,000 mw in the last week of Feb with a provision to increase in up to 1,050 mw. The bidders were selected

and the Letter of Award was given to successful bidders. The PTC India has successfully tied up entire power

with the above discoms, it said.

'Slurp' being a milk based mango drink has edge over competition: Parag Milk (Rs.240, +1%)

Parag Milk Foods had expanded its product range to enter beverage category. The company introduced

'Slurp', a mango drink with a dash of milk. Being a milk based mango drink it has an edge over competition,

said Bharat Kedia, CFO, Parag Milk Foods in an interview to media. He said they entered this space because

they were not present there, and moreover, competition in milk based mango beverages was low. The

200ml pack of Slurp is charged at Rs.20. The pricing of the product is at a premium because it is a value

based drink, said Kedia, and because pricing has its relevance to value. Consumers are appreciating the

product, he added. The company in the last one year started focusing higher on beverages, he said, adding

that any product that has milk content or is a dairy based has the potential to flourish in India. According to

him, mango beverage market size is over Rs.6000 crore. Meanwhile, he said the production of the new

beverage will be done from their existing facility in southern India.

HPCL, Mittal ready $3 bn to set up Bhatinda petchem unit (Rs.525, -1%)

State-owned Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) and its partner Lakshmi N Mittal will invest about

USD 3 bn in setting up a petrochemical complex at their Bhatinda refinery in Punjab. HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd

(HMEL), a joint venture between HPCL and Mittal Energy Investments Pvt Ltd, Singapore, plans to set up an

up to 1.7-mn tonne naphtha cracker unit to produce basic raw material that goes into making of plastics. "It

will be a 1.2-mn tonne plant, expandable to 1.7 mt," HPCL Chairman and Managing Director M K Surana

said here. Though setting up a petrochemical plant takes up to four years, HMEL plans to fast-track the

process to build it in lesser time. "We have land and other infrastructure at the Bhatinda refinery," he said,

adding that the project will be formally announced shortly after investment approvals. He said the USD 350

mn expansion of Bhatinda refinery capacity to 11.25 mt per annum from the current 9 mt will be completed

next month. The refinery has taken its first 45-day maintenance shutdown to complete hooking up of the

new units, he said, adding that additional volumes will cater to growth in demand in northern India. This

will be HPCL's first petrochemical plant in Northern India. The company has refineries in Mumbai and

Visakhapatnam. HPCL and steel baron Mittal are equal partners in the Bhatinda refinery in Punjab. HPCL

and Mittal Investment Sarl hold 48.94% stake each in HMEL while the balance is with financial institutions.

HMEL had also plans to expand Bhatinda refinery capacity further to 10 mt, but Surana did not speak on the

same. HPCL is investing Rs.45,000 crore by 2020 for expansion of its Mumbai and Visakhapatnam refineries

as well as augmenting its marketing infrastructure. It is investing Rs.4,199 crore in expanding its Mumbai

refinery capacity to 9.5 mt per annum from the current 6.5 mmtpa. It is lining up another Rs.17,000 crore in

expanding Visakhaptnam refinery capacity to 15 mmtpa, from 8.3 mtpa currently. The investments will also

help the company produce "products confirming to Euro VI" emission specification, he said.

Norway wealth fund excludes BHEL due to environment rules (Rs.173, -1%)

Norway's wealth fund has excluded Bharat Heavy Electricals from its investment portfolio because of

concerns over the environmental impact of a plant the Indian company is building, the Norwegian central

bank said on Fri. The USD 935-bn Norwegian fund, the world's largest, is not allowed to invest in companies

that breach certain ethical guidelines set by the Norwegian Parliament. These include producing nuclear

weapons, tobacco or anti-personnel landmines. BHEL, an engineering and manufacturing company that is

majority-owned by the government of India, did not reply to requests for comment. It's stock was excluded

from the Norwegian fund's portfolio because of "the risk of severe environmental damage" resulting from

the building of a coal-fired power plant close to the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest, in

Bangladesh, the fund's ethics watchdog said in a statement. This is an area with "universally unique

environmental qualities" the Council on Ethics said, adding that "there is an unacceptable risk of the

company contributing to or being responsible for severe environmental damage". The Council on Ethics

makes recommendations to the board of the central bank, which then decides whether to follow them

through and instructs the fund's management to take action. The fund is managed by a unit of the central

bank. The watchdog said that BHEL "did not reply to the Council's inquiries initially, but has later submitted

comments to a draft recommendation, stating that there is no need to dredge the waterways" through

which ships will access the plant. The fund has sold all its holdings in BHEL, which it did ahead of the

publication of the decision. The fund did so gradually so as not to alert market participants.

operation," the company said in a statement. It further said that its profit was "impacted by the full extent

of finance costs and depreciation booked during the year on the Chittapur plant." Its total expenses saw a

rise of 36.68% at Rs.680.88 crore as against Rs.498.14 crore in the year-ago quarter. Commenting on the

results, Orient Cement MD and CEO Deepak Khetrapal said: "The quarter ended Mar 31 has seen a very

good pick up in volumes across our core areas, especially AP and Telangana, which is reflected in our

utilisation levels this quarter, for the company's expanded capacity, rising to 87%." For the year ended Mar

31, 2017, Orient Cement reported a net loss of Rs.32.09 crore. It had a net profit of Rs.62.36 crore in 2015-

Hope to achieve 10% bottomline growth in FY18; SKY to do well: Firstsource Solutions (Rs.40, -5%)

Firstsource Solutions Ltd announced a consolidated net profit of Rs.65.36 crore for the fourth quarter

ending Mar 2017, down 15.7% over that in the corresponding period last year due to forex losses. Sanjiv

Goenka, Chairman, Firstsource commenting on the fourth quarter performance said they saw an impact of

Rs.35 crore on account of currency. However, going forward the first quarter could be muted but from the

second quarter onwards things could be buoyant. The first quarter will be largely similar to Q4FY17, said

Goenka. Q1FY18 revenues could be between Rs.900-920 crore, he added. However, despite all the currency

uncertainties etc, the bottomline growth for FY18 would be around 10%, he said. The company in Feb

signed a 10-year contract with Sky Subscriber Services Ltd of UK. With this deal, UK has become an
