As a result, EBITDA and PAT have declined 20% and 25% CAGR over the period. FY17 is turning to be a complete turnaround year for GAIL. There will be boost in profitability across all segments led by (1) Lower RLNG/domestic gas prices will improve profits of petchem/lpg. Strong crude prices will lead to firm realisations for petchem and LPG. However, their RM (gas) costs will remain muted owing to the global glut, (2) Increase in gas transmission volumes on account of power pooling and higher demand from petchem plant, (3) Likely upward revision in network tariff as actual volumes in the past five years were lower than anticipated, and (4) Strong marketing margins at lower gas prices. We expect EBITDA and PAT to grow at a CARG of 22% and 24% over FY16-19E. Our SOTP target is Rs 515/sh (~7.2x FY19E standalone EV/EBITDA and Rs 125/sh from investments). Maintain BUY. COMPANY UPDATE 14 DEC 2016 GAIL BUY Key Highlights Gas prices to remain muted: There will be ~50% jump in global LNG liquefaction capacities over the next 3- years. We expect the fight for market share to be very intense and gas prices to remain muted for long period. Transmission tariffs should rise: Network tariffs for bigger pipelines were calculated in 2010. Gas volume assumptions during that time were higher from KG-D6. However, actual volumes are much lower. We expect increase in tariffs in the next revision (expected soon). Petrochem profits to jump: GAIL has doubled its PE capacity. Robust domestic demand, muted LNG prices and strong crude prices, all will work in favour of GAIL. Key risk: GAIL has tied up for 5.8 mtpa of LNG from US. In the current scenario, it will be unviable to bring them to India. GAIL has swapped 2-mtpa volumes and has further raised tender for 2-mtpa. Every $ 1/mmbtu loss on 1-mtpa volumes will lead to a PBT loss of ~$ 50mn. Near-term outlook: We expect positive news flows to continue related to pipeline tariffs and ramp-up of new petchem facility. Stock will outperform broader market.

Middle East and Asia have seen fastest production growth over the last two decades Rising supply from USA and Australia will change global demand-supply balance Global natural gas prices to remain muted Current global demand-supply balance Natural gas accounts for ~24% of the total global energy requirement. Total global gas consumption in 2015 was 3,469 BCM (~9,500 mmscmd). Global gas consumption has increased at a CARG of 2.3% over 2005-15. It was primarily driven by non- OECD countries (3.4% CAGR), whereas growth in OECD countries was 1.1%. Share of gas consumption in North America, Europe and Eurasia has declined from 83% in 1990 to 57% in 2015. The Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific have seen the fastest growth in production. Share from these three geographies has increased from 16% in 1990 to 39% in 2015. New discoveries with low extraction challenges in the Middle East made it the largest LNG supplier in the world. Rising energy demand and lower domestic availability made Asia Pacific the largest market for RLNG. Africa will further change demand-supply dynamics in future with newer discoveries in Mozambique and Tanzania. India accounts for 1.5% of global gas consumption vs. production of 0.8%.

Jump in LNG liquefaction capacities LNG liquefaction capacities will increase by ~50% over the next three years Large gas reserves in US, Australia, and Africa led to spurt in proposal for LNG liquefaction facilities. The total proposals were of ~750 mtpa additional LNG liquefaction facilities. However, many projects remained in the planning stage post the fall in global gas prices and weak macros. Realistically, it is expected that only ~20% of proposed capacities will come online over the next five years. However, even this will lead to ~50% jump in total capacities. Australia, Middle East and USA will have large LNG liquefaction facilities.

Russia will not easily let go it s market. 4. An eminent gas price war is on cards. Russia cannot afford war on both crude and gas together. Hence, we expect them to cooperate in keeping crude price strong and stable. 5. Gas prices to remain muted for a long period.

In the worst-case, every $ 1/mmbtu loss on 1-mtpa volumes will lead to a PBT loss of ~US$ 50mn for GAIL Risk associated with GAIL-US LNG deals GAIL has tied up for 5.8 mtpa of LNG from USA. Details are Dominion Cove Point - 2.3 mtpa and Cheniere Sabine Pass 3.5 mtpa. These LNG supplies will start from 2017 and are bound by take-or-pay agreements. Prices of LNG coming from Qatar (linked to crude prices) have corrected sharply. This makes LNG coming from USA (linked to Henry-hub prices) unviable in India owing to higher freight cost. Landed cost of LNG from USA will be ~US$ 8.5/mmbtu (assuming HH price of US$ 2.6/mmbtu) vs. landed cost of ~US$ 6/mmbtu from Qatar. However, GAIL is trying to swap these volumes with volumes flowing form Middle East to Europe. So far, GAIL has been able to swap 2 mtpa of volumes and has further raised tender for swapping another 2 mtpa. We believe that GAIL will be able to swap their volumes. Qatar s LNG volumes are at biggest risk, as they will face competition from both USA and Australian players. In the worst-case, every US$ 1/mmbtu loss on 1-mtpa volumes will lead to a PBT loss of ~US$ 50mn for GAIL. Page 5

Transmission pipeline tariff set to rise Network tariffs for bigger pipelines were calculated in 2010-11. During those time, outlook of natural gas volumes were robust in India. In the calculation of network tariffs, pipeline utilisations are assumed at 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% respectively in the first five years. Gas volume assumptions made during prevision tariff calculations were high.

This was primarily due to sharp fall in gas volumes from KG-D6. Even current volumes are much below the full capacity. These tariffs are revised every five years. Revisions for most of the bigger pipelines are due. We expect a sharp revision in pipelines tariff. Increased tariffs will add directly to GAIL s PBT. We have assumed 5-10% increase in pipeline transmission tariffs over FY16-18. However, we believe that there is significant upside risk to our assumptions. In some of the recent revisions, pipeline tariffs were significantly revised upward. Page 6

Petrochemicals profits will increase PE: Indian demand-supply scenario PE : Capacity and utilization in India Currently ~42% on Indian PE demand is met through imports Polyethylene (PE) capacities in India were constant at 2.9 mtpa over the last five years. RIL, GAIL, IOCL and HPL are key PE players in India. HPL (Haldia Petrochemicals) was operating at lower utilisation due to working capital funding issues. PE consumption in India has grown at a CAGR of ~7% over FY10-15. However, production has grown only at a CAGR of ~5%. This has made India a net importer of polyethylene.

Indian PE demand-supply balance is likely to remain healthy Global imbalance will happen post 2018, when ethane based capacities get commissioned in US Additional capacities of RIL and GAIL will be operational in FY18. However, there is still some ambiguity on timeline of OPAL. There may be a short period of surplus supply in India. However, we do not expect it to last long owing to the robust domestic demand. In the upcoming capacities HDPE/LLDPE are 2.4 mtpa and remaining 0.4 mtpa in LDPE. GAIL is present only in HDPE/LLDPE. HDPE/LLDPE demand to match capacity HDPE and LLDPE account for ~88% of the India s total polyethylene consumption. Different studies by Assocham and GAIL suggests that demand of PE in India will rise at a CAGR of ~8% over the next few years. Indian will again become net importer of polyethylene in the two years time even if all planned capacities come online.

Around 61% of global ethylene is consumed in the production of polyethylene. Naphtha is raw material for ~44% of global ethylene production. Ethane accounts for ~36% and remaining are manufactured using propane/butane/others. Global ethylene capacity utilisation improved marginally to 89% in 2015, sustaining above the fiveyear average of 86%. Global ethylene supply demand is expected to remain tight in the medium-term. The new capacities in USA (based on low cost ethane) will get commissioned in 2018. This may lead to pressure in global market for 1-2 years. However, Indian players will be least impacted as India will have minimal surplus capacity. Global Ethylene: Demand-Supply Source: RIL, IHS, HDFC sec Inst Research Page 8
