Tax Change Could Boost Indian City-Gas Distributors' Margins -- Market Talk

10/08

0328 GMT - Indian city-gas distributors' margins could rise after a 15% value-added tax to the Gujarat state government was replaced with a 2% central sales tax on Oct. 1, says Nomura's Bineet Banka in a note. The VAT was levied on administered price mechanism, or APM, gas and new well gas purchased from Gujarat. The tax change implies gas-cost savings of around 13% for both Indraprastha Gas and Mahanagar Gas, which source around 45% and 12%, respectively, of their APM gas from the state, the analyst says. This could translate to a 22% absolute Ebitda gain for Indrapastha and 4% for Mahanagar. Nomura maintains its neutral rating and INR225.00 target on Indraprastha, and its buy rating and INR1,580.00 target on Mahanagar. Their shares were last at INR220.05 and INR1,312.90, respectively.
