NCLT approves Vedanta bid for Electrosteel Steels
Vedanta has got NCLT approval for its resolution plan for Electrosteel Steels. Vedanta was the winning bidder with a bid of Rs5, 000cr. This implies that lenders would have to take a ~55% haircut to existing debt. This is a positive development for Vedanta, which was searching ways to forward integrate its existing iron ore mines into steel making. Vedanta’s iron ore mines are ideally located to supply the newly acquired steel business with cheap and high quality iron ore.
Electrosteel Steels was in the process of expanding the production of its plant to 2.5mtpa. The product range for Electrosteel Steels includes Pig Iron, Billets, TMT Bars, Wire Rods and Ductile Iron Pipes. Due to significant equity dilution under the resolution plan, existing shareholders of Elelctrosteel Steels would not benefit from the implementation of the resolution plan.
Tata Sponge Q4FY18E Result Expectation
Expectations for Q4FY18E:
Revenue - Rs219cr, up by 18.4% yoy, due to ~10% yoy rise in sponge iron prices
EBITDA - Rs58cr, up by 126% yoy
EBITDA Margin - 26.6%, a rise of 412bps qoq supported by lower raw material prices
PAT - Rs47cr, up by 123% yoy
Q3FY18 performance highlights:
Revenue - Rs214cr, up by 36% yoy, due to ~16% yoy rise in realisations and 18% yoy increase in sponge iron sales volumes
EBITDA – Rs48cr
EBITDA Margin – 22.4%
PAT – Rs36cr
Remarks:
The stock would react positively over the medium term, though near term reaction may be subdued as the stock has already rallied about 11% over the past five sessions.
We see sponge iron prices and volumes remaining firm over the medium term, as domestic steel production is expected to grow at over 5% over the next few years.
However, as Tata Sponge is already operating at over 95% utilization, there is limited room for volume growth.

Cipla says Indore plant received observations, no data integrity issues
Cipla has clarified that the USFDA conducted a routine cGMP audit at its Indore formulations facility from 2-13 April 2018. According to Cipla, this was a normal course of business. At the end of the inspection, USFDA has issued form 483 observations. The company has also said that there were no data integrity and/or repeat observations. We had reported of USFDA inspection at Indore on April 05, 2018.
The company believes that the observations are unlikely to have any material adverse impact and will submit the response within the stipulated timeframe.
Indore is a formulations manufacturing facility. The Indore SEZ facility had received nine USFDA observations in 2015 and was cleared in 2016. As per one of the earlier management comments, Indore is not a very significant plant at the moment as it is a newer plant.
