This has weighed on the numbers with LTM EBITDA down 27% and adjusted PAT (ex- OBR provisions) down 25% YoY. Coal offtake should improve hereon, given restocking demand from power plants. Third party sampling for 100% of its dispatches, lower taxation and continued discounts given to landed parity prices should ensure bottoming out of realisations. CIL witnessed strong volumes over FY15-16, as it restocked power plants from five days (Sep- 2014) to ~20 days (July-2015). Flattish power demand thereafter led to poor growth offtake. Current low stocks at CEA-monitored power plants (11 days) should help CIL revert to strong volume growth, some of which is already visible in its numbers (July volumes up 6.9% YoY). FSA pricing has suffered (1QFY18: Rs 1,201/t, lowest since 3QFY12), primarily on account of grade slippages. Coal Controller downgraded 177 mines by 1-2 grades for FY17, and 1QFY18 numbers reflected the full impact of this. Further, ~100% third party sampling being done now should imply FSA prices bottoming out. The switch to GST led to a reduction in taxation from ~12% to 5%. This implies a reduction of ~4p/ 000 Kcal (~5.6%), which has been passed on to customers. CIL may hike prices owing to this elbow room provided by lower GST rates. We have built in similar hikes for FY19, but they can be implemented sooner. Across fuel categories, CIL s coal continues to trade at a considerable discount to alternatives. Both imported coal and petcoke (used mostly by cement companies) continue to be expensive. Chinese coal imports have surged in recent times, driving international coal prices, while strong demand from cement companies has kept petcoke prices high. This will benefit CIL in both off take and pricing, especially in e-auctions. CIL trades at 5.7/5.1x on our estimates, which build in 6.6/0.7% volume/pricing CAGR for FY17-20. Maintain BUY with a TP of Rs 300 (7.0x June 19 EV/EBITDA). Key risk to our thesis is from a higher wage settlement than what CIL has provisioned so far.

Strong dispatch growth in FY16 was driven by restocking at power plants. Current spurt could again be driven by similar reasons, even as power generation growth continues to disappoint.
