It is the 2 nd largest (after National Fertilizer) listed urea manufacturer with a capacity of 2.04 Mn MT. Govt is going to divest its 12.3% stake on 8 th March 2013 through the Offer-For- Sale (OFS) route. Investment Highlights Debottlenecking of Thal Unit has increased its urea manufacturing capacity from 17 Lakh MT to 20 Lakh MT per annum and has saved energy consumption by 0.6 Gcal/MT of ammonia which has helped to boost top-line as well as margins. Capacity expansion to reduce dependency on import, boost top-line and margins. Capacity expansion (1.27 Mn MTPA) through the JV with Coal India is likely to boost margins as the company will get coal (at a much cheaper rate than the market price) as feed stock. Through the setting up of 1 Mn MTPA urea capacity at Ghana under 51:49 JV with the Ghana Govt, RCF may get natural gas at $2.5/mmbtu as compared to the current domestic natural gas price of ~$6.8/mmbtu. It will help to grab the overseas market and improve its margins. The Thal (Thal III Project) expansion plan is going to add 12.7 Mn MT per annum in urea capacity at a cost of `4,112.5 cr. The design and construction work is expected to start from May 2013 and likely to take 3 years to start the production. In addition to that, RCF is likely to be granted an investment allowance of 15% on the investment RCF is planning to enter into a long term agreement with Canadian Potash developer Encanto Potash for having 8% discount over prevailing market price of MOP which is likely to expand its margins. RCF is expected to get `130-150 cr in March 2014 for transfer of development rights for the land taken by MMRDA for the completion of Eastern Freeway. This is likely to improve cash balance of the company. Exhibit.
