Investment Rationale
Given a weak volume performance, we trim our FY21E volumes to 2.1mmscmd (-29.8% yoy) however factor a sharp recovery in FY22E to 3.1mmscmd. The brokerage has also factored in EBITDA margins of Rs9.1/Rs9.9 per scm for FY21/22E and higher capex of Rs4-5bn (from Rs3.5- 4.5bn earlier), implying a revision in EPS by -16.7/-1.6% for FY21E/FY22E. Also, growth beyond FY23-24E remains at risk, given lack of inorganic growth opportunities and potential saturation in existing areas. The DCF valuation, factoring revised assumptions delivers a TP of Rs940/sh, implying limited upside.
