Incorporated in November 1958, government-owned NMDC is India’s largest
iron ore producer with a capacity of 32mn tonne. The company operates high-
grade iron ore mines in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. As of March 31, 2011, its
estimated reserves and resources stood at 1,434m tonnes.
Iron ore capacity to expand: NMDC aims to ramp up its production capacity to
48mn tonne by FY2015E (current capacity – 32mn tonne) through increased
exploration of its existing mines and development of new mines, ie, Bailadila
11/B, Kumaraswamy and Deposit 10 & 11/A. However, given its past track
record, we forecast iron ore production capacity to increase to 40mn tonne by
FY2015 (compared to its target of 48mn tonne).
Low cost producer of iron ore: NMDC is one of the lowest cost producers of iron
ore on account of its highly mechanized mines, high-grade iron ore mines and
logistical efficiencies. Further, NMDC (unlike other PSUs such as SAIL and Coal
India) does not face issues of overstaffing.
Seeking to diversify into steel making: NMDC intends to diversify its
operations by moving downstream through establishing steel plants and pellet
plants. Accordingly, the company aims to build an integrated 3mn tonne steel
plant in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh with a capex of `15,525cr.
Outlook and valuation:
Over the past five years, NMDC has traded at an
average EV/EBITDA of 11.1x, compared to its upper band price valuation of 3.6x
FY2014E EV/EBITDA. A strong balance sheet, presence in sellers market (iron
ore), low cost of production, high-grade mines and long mine life make NMDC
an attractive bet in our view. Valuing the stock at 5.5x FY2014E EV/EBITDA, we
derive a fair price of `198 and recommend investors to Subscribe to the issue at
the upper price band of `150.

Investment arguments
Iron ore capacity to expand
NMDC aims to ramp up its production capacity to 48mn tonne by FY2015E
(current capacity – 32mn tonne) through increased exploration of its existing mines
and development of new mines, ie, Bailadila 11/B, Kumaraswamy and Deposit 10
& 11/A. However, given its past track record, we forecast iron ore production
capacity to increase to 40mn tonne by FY2015 (compared to NMDC’s target of
48mn tonne). In the near term, although we expect sales volumes to remain flat in
FY2013, we expect it to grow by 13.0% yoy during FY2014.

Low cost producer of iron ore
NMDC is one of the lowest cost producers of iron ore on account of its highly
mechanized mines, high-grade iron ore mines and logistical efficiencies. Further,
NMDC (unlike other PSUs such as SAIL and Coal India) does not face issues of
high employees’ costs as a percentage of net sales. Its staff costs/ net sales ratio is
the lowest compared to other PSUs.

Seeking to diversify into steel making
The management intends to diversify its operations by moving downstream
through establishing steel plants and pellet plants. Accordingly, the company aims
to build an integrated 3mn tonne steel plant in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. The land
acquisition for the same is nearly complete, which gives comfort as land
acquisition has been a major bottleneck to greenfield projects in recent times. Also,
NMDC plans to set up another 3mn tonne steel plant in Karnataka in partnership
with the Russian steel giant, Severstal.

Outlook and valuation
Over the past five years, NMDC has traded at an average EV/EBITDA of 11.1x
(mainly due to low liquidity), compared to its upper band price valuation of 3.6x
FY2014E EV/EBITDA. Strong balance sheet, presence in sellers market (iron ore),
low cost of production, high-grade mines and long mine life make NMDC an
attractive bet in our view. Valuing the stock at 5.5x FY2014E EV/EBITDA, we derive
a fair price of `198 and recommend investors to Subscribe to the issue at the
upper price band of `150.
Key concerns
Disturbances due to Maoists activities in Bailadila
In the past, NMDC has faced Maoists attacks in Bailadila region. Such attacks
have affected production and movement of iron ore from Bailadila region.
Delays in setting up the steel plant
NMDC is planning to set up steel plants in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. However,
it does not have experience in setting up steel projects. As such, there could be
potential delays/ cost overruns in its steel projects.
