Future Growth :

In India, the demand for equipment used in power sector is multiplying at a rapid rate because of social, economic and industrial development. The new government plans to fund up to 75% of the investment required to supply electricity through separate feeders for agricultural and rural domestic consumption, which will benefit the Power Sector Companies and ultimately boost the regional demand for power transformers. The government's commitment to provide 24x7 uninterrupted power supply to all homes and Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana to augment power supply to rural areas, strengthen the sub-transmission and distribution systems will ultimately boost the demand for Power Transformers.



IMPPL now also focuses on growing export market sales especially in Africa, Asia & Middle East, tying up with several International EPC players, which will improve its profitability owing to higher gross margin ranging from 25% to 30%.

While the installed capacity increased from 7000 MVA to 12000 MVA in last 5 years, Production increased from 4000 MVA to 7883 MVA, capacity utilization increased from 25% to 40% during this period, keeping immense scope for order intake and production capacity, with no spending on Capex.

Industry Outlook :

The Transformer market revenues in India are expected to grow at the CAGR of 14 % till 2018. Under the 12th five year plan (2012-2017), the government plans to spend 200 billion on developing and strengthening power infrastructure in India. The Indian government expects to add another 85,000 MW of power capacity during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-2017) period. The demand for power Transformers is also expected to go up as a direct consequence. Government's attempt of attaining 100% electrification across the country by 2017 would contribute to the demand for power transformers. With the continuous support from the government to promote the power transformer industry through investments, tax benefits, subsidies, etc. will help the industry to grow over the coming years. With the upswing demand for reliable power in the country, the transformer market is witnessing a growth trend.



Triggers :

Company has idle plot of 20,000 Sq.Ft. at Kandivali west, the value of which should be not less than 60 Crores, if sold on outright basis, if develop & sold by the company, it can fetch a sale consideration anywhere between 80 to 100 Crore, depending on the project.

IMPPL is the only transformer company in India which is entitled for Sales Tax Exemption till 2017, such benefit will provide a significant price advantage to the company.

IMP Energy Ltd (IEL), a subsidiary company of IMPPL, incorporated in the year 2012, is acting as a Project Management Consultancy (PMC) to explore emerging opportunities in mini and small hydro power projects upto 25 MW. IEL received 13 small Hydro projects orders totaling 12.7 MW & amounting to Rs 137 Cr in Leh & Kargil, the progress of which is extremely encouraging. There may be value unlocking going forward, by listing this PMC subsidiary at rich valuations.

Falling in Input Prices of raw material such as Copper, Aluminium, Steel Stampings, Crude Oil (Transformer Oil), etc, will directly add to the bottom line of the company. Fall in interest rates will reduce the interest burden of the company.

The company has done CAPEX during tough times, the benefit of which will be seen going forward.

Valuations :

This Rs 10 paid up stock is trading at 0.8 times of book value of Rs 116.75 (Industry Price to Book Value 2.51), With FY 15 sales at 330 Cr and current Market Cap of only 70 Cr, its trading at Market Cap to Sales Ratio of ridiculously low of just 0.25 times.
