RELIANCE INDUSTRIES LTD: The Company was founded on 11th February 1966 by name of Reliance Textile Industries Pvt Ltd in Mumbai, Maharashtra. In November of 1977, the promoters Mr. Dhirajlal H Ambani & Mr. Natvarlal H Ambani along with some other existing shareholders offered for sale at par 28,20,000 equity shares to the public to get listed on Bombay Stock Exchange. In June 27th of 1985, company again changed its name from Reliance Textiles Industries Ltd to its current name Reliance Industries Ltd. Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is a conglomerate with business in the energy and materials value chain. RIL together with its subsidiaries, primarily engages in the exploration and production of oil and gas in India and worldwide. The company operates two refineries and owns 1.24 million barrels per day of crude processing capacity. The Company operates in three segments: Petrochemicals, Refining and Oil & Gas segments. The Petrochemicals - includes production and marketing operations of petrochemical products namely, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, poly butadiene rubber, polyester yarn, polyester fiber, purified terephthalic acid, paraxylene, ethylene glycol, olefins, aromatics, linear alkyl benzene, butadiene, acrylonitrile, caustic soda and polyethylene terephthalate. The Refining - includes production and marketing operations of the petroleum products. The Oil and Gas - includes exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas. Its other segment includes Textile, Retail business, Special Economic Zone (SEZ) development and Telecom / Broadband business. RIL, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012; increased its interest to 18.53% in EIH Limited. The company is compared locally with HPCL, BPCL, Mangalore Refinery, Chennai Petroleum Corp. Ltd, and Globally with Exxon Mobil Corp and Chevron Corp both from USA; Royal Dutch Shell PLC from Netherlands; BP from UK; Endesa SA from Spain; Rosneft Oil, Lukoil and Gazprom Oao both from Russia; RWE AG and E.On AG both from Germany; China Petroleum & Petro China Corp both from China; Total SA from France; Petrobrass Brasileiro from Brazil.

Investment Rationale:
Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is one of the India’s most valued private sector company but its current earnings supports the fact that it is not interested in investing its whopping Rs. 82,980 Cr cash in its core business anymore. This is proven by the fact that its FY12-13 Net profit of Rs. 21,003 Cr had a contribution of around Rs. 7,981 Cr or 38% earned as an interest from the cash pile that RIL had been hoarding from past couple of years. RIL is now concentrating more on its non-core businesses and among them is Retail and Telecom which will directly allow RIL to participate and take advantage of India’s consumption growth story. Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (RJIL), a subsidiary of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), the only pan India operator with Broadband Wireless Access (‘BWA’) spectrum across 22 circles capable of offering fourth generation (4G) wireless services signed a Indefeasible Right to Use (IRU) Agreement with Bharti Airtel Limited, under which Bharti will provide Reliance Jio with data capacity on its i2i submarine cable. This i2i connects India to Singapore. The state of the art cable consists of eight fiber pairs using Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, capable of supporting multiple terabits of capacity per fiber pair. Its landing points are at Chennai in India and Tuas in Singapore. The high speed link will enable Reliance Jio to extend its network and service reach to customers across Asia Pacific region. It will connect Reliance Jio directly to the world’s major business hubs and ISPs, thereby, helping the operator to meet the bandwidth demand and provide ultra-fast data experience to its customers. Recently, Reliance Jio has formed a consortium with five companies Viz, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, Vodafone Group, Omantel, Etisalat and Dialog Axiata to construct & maintain an 8,000 Km long Bay of Bengal Gateway submarine cable system this will connect India, Sri lanka Malaysia, Singapore and West Asia. This cable system will link all these countries with 100 Gbps technology and will help Reliance Jio in making its network more robust and cost effective, which means lower 4G cost for subscribers. This system may also gain access in international 4G standards- FDD-LTE which is currently unavailable in India as the only 4G band available in India is TD-LTE. RIL’s another prominent subsidiary - Reliance Retail LTD, showed strong growth in sales from 7% to 18% in same store sales format and that also in such a competitive and challenging environment. It currently has a pan India presence with a store count of 1,466 totaling to 9 million sqfts spread across 129 cities and will be soon adding 184 stores more by the end of this fiscal. Reliance Retail has Reliance One loyalty program which has about 13 million members and contributes about 65 % of sales from these loyal customers. These stores every week have footfalls of 25 lakhs. Reliance Retail’s business crossed Rs. 10,800 Cr revenue mark with a growth of 42% YoY as against Rs. 7,599 Cr in FY12. It posted EBIDT of Rs. 78 Cr with a growth of whopping 123% as against the loss of Rs. 342 Cr in FY12. Reliance Retail Ltd has about 50 retail-business as its own subsidiary. Reliance Retail Ltd.’s Fashion & lifestyle format posted revenue of Rs. 1600 Cr showing a growth of 45% from 448 stores and will be adding 95 more new stores. Its Jewellery format posted revenue of Rs. 800 Cr showing a growth of 57% from 51 stores and will be adding 14 more new stores. Its Value format posted revenue of Rs. 6100 Cr showing a growth of 19% from 760 stores and will be adding 10 more new stores. Its Brands format posted revenue of Rs. 200 Cr showing a growth of 82% from 68 stores and will be adding 19 more new stores and its Digital format posted revenue of Rs. 61 Cr showing a growth of 76% from 139 stores and will be adding 46 more new stores.

Outlook and Valuation:
RIL completed India’s largest share buyback programme aggregating to Rs.3,366 Cr and bought back 4,62,00,000 Shares of Face value of Rs. 10 each. RIL posted a record performance in Net Profit of Rs. 5,589 Cr for Q4FY13 which is up by 31.9 % on YoY. Refining Earnings before Interest and Tax beat the street and grew to 4.5% to Rs. 3,520 Cr on back off better Gross Refining Margins. GRM improved from $9.6/bbl to $10.1/bbl. Reliance Sibur Elastomers Private Limited (RSEPL), a joint venture between RIL and SIBUR began construction of their new butyl rubber plant, in Jamnagar. The new plant will be India’s only manufacturer of butyl rubber and the JV will be amongst the world’s top five manufacturers of butyl rubber. RIL will supply monomer and provide the JV with world-class infrastructure and utilities. Reliance has already started market seeding butyl rubber from SIBUR in India. The response is very encouraging. Reliance witnessed sharp improvement in complex refining margin and delivered record performance taking benefit of being an integrated energy Company. The fair value of RIL on basis using DCF comes at Rs. 840.50/share, while the valuation of its investments in subsidiaries comes at Rs. 104.50/share. At the current market price of Rs. 802.90, the stock is trading at 11.75 x FY14E EPS of Rs 68.30/share and at 11.13 x FY15E EPS of Rs 72.10/share. Declining gas production in KG basin as a concern will remain for some more time. RIL on the back of higher incremental new capacity compared to incremental demand refining cycle going ahead could be weak. However, a positive point could trigger from governments stance towards Reliance’s exploration and production efforts and the growth shown by its Retail Business and with the new venture in Telecom by forming JV's and by launching 4G, RIL surely will have the first mover advantage. The buyback of share will impact about 1.5% on EPS and will cause positively to raise it from current level; hence the stock could be a buy at current levels with a medium to long term target of Rs. 840.50.

Reliance Industries out put is of 1.8 bn cubic feet of gas a day which is equal to 1,25,000 barrels of oil production per day a nearly 40 % of India’s total gas production, all comes from D6. RIL owns 2,7o,000 Sq Kilometers of exploration circles or 28 blocks.
British Petroleum (BP) global oil major has announced an historic deal with India’s largest private sector oil major Reliance Industries to buy RIL’s 30% stake in 23 oil and gas blocks on 21st February 2011. As per the partnership deal, BP will buy 30% stake in 23 oil & gas production sharing contracts that RIL operates in India, including the producing KG-D6 blocks at $7.2 billion (Rs.44.99/$) Rs. 32400 cr, and will also form 50:50 JV for sourcing and marketing gas in India. This JV is also an attempt to accelerate the creation of infrastructure for receiving, transporting and marketing natural gas in India. RIL will get $7.2bn in 3 trenches - $2 bn as upfront payment, further $2.3 bn on completion of deal & the final payment of $3 bn in October 2011. BP could invest US $20bn in RIL which would go to Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Ltd. This deal is positive for RIL as the combined expertise of both the parties would result into optimisation of producing blocks and enhancing the resources in exploratory blocks. The transaction amount gives a value of Rs. 363/share to the east coast blocks, as BP is expected to incrementally incur its share of capital expenditure into the commercialisation and development of blocks, which have already been factored in for valuation.

Outlook and Valuation
The deal is an earnings & value accretive in the long term, considering the technical expertise BP brings on table. Once the deal goes through, dip in valuation on account of shedding 30% share in east coast blocks will be offset by cash consideration and re-rating of blocks on account of synergy arising out technical expertise of both the proficient parties. This deal will put RIL in a position to be “DEBT FREE”. My view on the stock is of BUY with a price target of Rs. 1,160 when the share price is at Rs. 957.00

Union Budget 2011-12 -
In this budget finance minister proposed the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on Special Economic Zones (SEZ) & Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) from 1st April 2012. LLPs will have to pay MAT at 18.5 % but will be exempted from Dividend Distribution Tax of 17 % on the dividend declared. In LLPs MAT will be known as Alternate Minimum Tax (AMT). AMT will be applicable to LLPs @ 18.5 % AMT will apply to the adjusted income & not on adjusted book profit. AMT credit is available to an LLP for 10 years. The LLPs was used by some promoters of cooperates to save tax on dividends declared by their companies. RIL promoters created 29 LLPs in August 2010 which will own 32.75 % of Reliance Industries. These 29 LLPs collectively earned Rs.750.77 cr as dividend last year saving both MAT & DDT.  But when the new AMT norm becomes affective these LLPs will have to pay tax of Rs.139 cr if the RIL maintains the same dividend rates.

THE RELIANCE RPL MERGER IN RATIO OF 16:1

The big piece of news from India’s corporate world this past weekend has been the merger of two companies under the Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Group. The news broke & developed over and was a done deal by the time the weekend was over. In every sense the affair has been handled in true Reliance style – quickly, efficiently and without making too much of a fuss. The integration of Reliance Petroleum Limited into Reliance Industries is being handled with a lot of care. Considering the ease with which Reliance has started to pull this off has been commendable.
The company has been careful enough to make sure that they do not get into the bad books of their shareholders.Tackling integration requires managing the priorities of both the companies being integrated. In this case the interests of the shareholders of both Reliance Industries and Reliance Petroleum have been safeguarded.
Mukesh Ambani in a statement was quick to point out that the deal would create “shareholder value”.
Shareholders themselves are pretty satisfied with the merger of Reliance Industries and Reliance Petroleum. They get to be part of a bigger entity with a much more simplified company structure.
Reliance Petroleum being the refining arm of Reliance Industries no longer needs to be kept separate from the company’s core business of oil and gas exploration and marketing.
By integrating the refinery business into the main fold they will be able to function as before with the petroleum wing being an internal subsidiary.
All that Reliance had to do was to simply re-purchase a 5% stake in Reliance Petroleum which until now belonged to Chevron. This being successful allows the company to increase its stake to seventy five percent in RPL thus making the merger a matter of detail.
RIL has agreed upon a price of Rs.60/share to buy Chevron’s stake in RPL. By no means has the company overpaid. In fact they’ve paid the IPO launch price for the stake. Shareholders can therefore be satisfied that the company has not overspent.
Reliance has also been fair with the share distribution ratio for RPL shareholders.The company has decided to fix the ratio of RPL to RIL shares at 16:1.
The ratio is a fair reflection of the current market value of both the companies.Therefore the shareholders have not been crossed in this matter as well.Small investors and fund managers alike agree on the ratio being a good deal thus the merger should not face any serious problems in the future.
RPL has just recently started commercial production. From a financial point of view it does depend on its parent company RIL for funds and easy credit access. The channel for credit being much simpler now that both companies come under the same name is a good move.
The RIL-RPL combine also catapults RIL higher into the list of the world’s biggest refining companies.Ironically RIL now replaces and gets ahead of Chevron which decided to exit its stake in RPL

Investment Rationale:
Reliance Industries is India’s largest private sector company, and the first Indian company to be featured in the Fortune Global 500 list. Reliance Industries is in the business of oil and gas exploration, refining and petrochemicals. The crude oil and gas produced is the raw material for refining and petrochemicals segment. Reliance is also a major importer of oil for its refining business. The major products under refining are LPG gas (Reliance gas), naphtha, gasoline, aviation turbine fuel, kerosene oil, high speed diesel etc. Petrochemical segment produces polyester, fibre intermediates, plastics and chemicals. Reliance is now focusing on other segments of its business like Retail and Telecom. RIL is investing Rs.85,000 crore in R-JioR-Jio has a pan-India licence in the 2300 megahertz (MHz) frequency band, which has not seen many international 4G launches using the so-called long term evolution (LTE) technology standard. That’s mainly because the higher the frequency, the lower the signal strength, although it offers higher data delivery speed. Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited (“RJIL”) plans to provide reliable fast internet connectivity and rich digital services on a Pan India basis. RJIL has finalized the key vendor and supplier partnerships that are required for the launch of services, and is making rapid progress in building the critical infrastructure needed to launch its services. RJIL has signed agreements with various telecom infrastructure providers to widen access to telecom tower and forfibre optics infrastructure to expedite the rollout of its 4G services. R-Jio intends to provide 4G service, using LTE technology, in the 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2300MHz bands through an integrated ecosystem. R-Jio has spectrum in 20 of the 22 circles in the country in the 800MHz band which accounts for 92 % of industry revenues and 14 circles in the 1800MHz band. Its licence for the flagship 2300 MHz covers all 22 circles. Reliance Jio Infocomm’s installation of 70,000 LTE sites for the launch network is mostly completed. Reliance Jio has completed roll-out of 100,000 Rkm of optic fiber cable, and the roll-out continues at a faster space. This is already comparable with the fiber rolled out by the rest of the industry over the last 10-15 years. More than 85 % of RJio’s fiber is intra-city fiber i.e. access fiber running up to the towers as of now. Till now, RCOM was believed to have the largest fiber network among private operators, with an intra-city network of 70,000 Rkm. Thus, it is possible that Reliance Jio already has the largest intra-city fiber network in the industry (excluding fiber leased from RCOM here!). Reliance Jio has already built 28,000-30,000 towers of its own including mix of poles and full ground based towers. Reliance Jio’s 4G deployment will also benefit from superior technology efficiency as compared with 2G/3G networks of other operators. Spectral efficiency refers to the amount of data throughput (in bits per second) that a technology can push through a given MHz of spectrum. It can be safer to conservatively assume that 3G is 1.25x better than 2G on spectral efficiency, and LTE is 1.25x better than 3G. Data clearly suggests that top 30 % customer accounts for 70 % of revenues in the India Wireless Industry. The Reliance Chairman clearly indicated at the shareholder meeting, that the company will offer data packages in the range of Rs. 300-500 per month which in just below the global average of Rs. 600- 650. In this backdrop the new entrant Reliance Jio Infocomm’s positioning would be more important to see. The SmartPhone handset changing cycle is less than 24 months for high end customers in India, so it can be safely assume that these customers could shift to 4G LTE handset very soon as long as the handsets are at the right price and Reliance has clearly said to launch its 4G LTE handsets below Rs. 4,000. Good quality video delivery is critical for forming perceptions about network quality. Nearly 50 % of consumers face some issues in data connectivity and quality & most commonly while trying to watch videos (and less frequently while using lower bandwidth apps such as messaging). In fact, 80 % believe that watching videos is important for their mobile usage experience and only 40 % of them have a seamless video watching experience. There is significant room for Reliance Jio to position them on the promise of better data network quality. RJio is betting big on the Fiber to the Home (FTTH) market and is justified looking at the 100,000 Km Intra-City Fiber rolled out which is growing by the day. Reliance Jio Infocomm has received provisional licence to operate as pan India Multi System Operator taking it step closer to becoming a nationwide distributor of television channels. It intends to use Fiber to home connectivity to offer host of services to its prospective customers thus bringing in true IPTV Experience. There are 17 Cr odd television sets in India. Of these, 2 cr are terrestrial like doordarshan, 4 to 4.5 Cr are connected through Direct To Home and around 10 Cr have cable television connections out of which 3 to 3.5 Cr are digitalized. So effectively R-Jio will be vying with the existing MSOs and DTH companies. So basically RJIO is looking to deliever to as much as 68 Cr sets if we assume that India has 17 Cr TV sets and when it is multiplied by four. So even if there are close to 5 Cr devices to offer your content it is too big market to be captured by anyone company. RJio is also expected to come out with Wi-Fi hotspot solutions for a ready market to tap into. Jio plans to start with 1,000 own “Jio Centre” (exclusive retail stores) which when combined with Reliance Retail’s Digital Express stores will bring Jio at par with leading operators. This appears to be in addition to Franchisees and Distributors chain but the answer was not totally clear. The biggest differentiator that R-Jio has talked about in its telecom offering is to be present in the entire value chain of the telecom and e-commerce business—something not done by any telecom company in India before
                                                                                         
Outlook and Valuation:
Reliance Industries (RIL) is one of the world's most vertically integrated and horizontally diversified groups, from its origins in trading in polyester and fibers to a move into textiles and branded showrooms, it has integrated forward and backward into textile intermediates, including fiber, petrochemicals, naphtha crackers, plastics, refining, and oil exploration in stages. Oil and Gas sector in India is dominated by public sector companies. The major players are ONGC, Oil India, Reliance Industries, Crain Energy, GAIL, Bharat Petroleum, Indian Oil, Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum. Reliance Industries and Crain Energy are the two major private players in oil and gas sector. The oil and gas sector consists of three segments upstream, midstream and downstream. The upstream segment primarily comprises of companies that are engaged in exploration and production activities, while the midstream segment comprises of players in storage and transportation, and the downstream segment comprises of players that are engaged in refining, processing and marketing of petroleum products. The oil and gas sector is regulated at two levels, policy level and regulatory level. At the policy level, the oil and gas sector is regulated by the finance ministry and planning commission. At the regulatory level, the sector is administered by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Directorate General for Hydrocarbons and Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board. During FY 2013–14, the total consumption of petroleum products in India was 158.2 million tonnes (MT). The consumption stood at 14.2 MT in March 2014, according to data released by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. The share of fuels in the country's exports surged from 5.59 % in 2003–04 to 20.05 % during 2013–14. Total exports of fuel products stood at US$ 62.69 billion in value terms during FY 2013–14. The country had total reserves of 1354.76 billion cubic meters (BCM) of natural gas and 758.27 million metric tonnes (MMT) of crude oil at the end of FY 2012–13. The use of shale gas can be the first step in the road to ‘economic freedom’. The petroleum ministry of India feels that the country could do something similar to the US, which became a net exporter of energy from a net importer of energy, on the back of shale gas and oil. By 2015–16, India’s demand for gas is expected to touch 124 MTPA, as per projections of India’s Petroleum and Natural Gas MinistryMore recently, Relaince Industries has diversified into unrelated areas like retail chains, media and telecom through Reliance Jio, which will be launched sooner in 2015. Reliance JIO commercial launch is delayed to December 2015 a combination of significant expected declined in the 4G handset price to Rs. 4,000 by December 2015 and significant capacity of JIO planned at launch date with already 100m wireless subscribers would lead to increased activity in telecom data market. Reliance JIO’s voice strategy remains uncertain as no particular details were shared from company about how it would be providing voice services which currently constitute 80 % of the Indian wireless market revenue. So there can be potential tie up with existing operators for circuit switched fall back (CSFB). Large scale population coverage planned by JIO combined with low 4G handset prices can enable mass adoption of 4G services. However rate of subscriber up-take would be the key as JIO would be largely targeting churn from existing subscribers with proposition of cheaper and better data offering. RIL’s acquisition of control in Network 18 Media & Investments Limited through Independent Media Trust including its subsidiary TV18 Broadcast Limited will differentiate Reliance’s 4G business by providing a unique amalgamation at the intersect of telecom, web and digital commerce via a suite of premier digital properties. TV18 Broadcast ltd had posted excellent result for FY15 inspite of Rs. 220 Cr write-offs. With finance costs also coming down the share price is likely to rise significantly in next 2 quarters. Reliance Retail has continued its growth momentum crossed three significant milestones during past couple of period; it has surpassed turnover of Rs. 4,000 Cr in a quarter with more than 2,000 operating stores and with establishing its presence in over 150 cities. Despite persistent inflation and slow consumption growth, first half of FY 14-15 revenue for Reliance Retail grew by 17.3 % Y-o-Y to Rs. 8,166 Cr. PBDIT for the retail business more than doubled to Rs. 357 Cr from Rs. 165 Cr in the same period last year. All format sectors grew through store additions as well as consistent like for like growth ranging up to 21 %. Reliance witnessed sharp improvement in complex refining margin and delivered record performance taking benefit of being an integrated energy Company. Declining gas production in KG basin as a concern will remain for some more time. However, a positive point could trigger from its start of projects worth $25 billions in next 18 months, also new launch of Reljio and the growth shown by its Retail Business could contribute around $17 billion. The start of downstream expansions could lift Ebitda by around 75 % over next 3 year so it can be expected that RIL Eps can grow double in next three years. The fair value of RIL on Sum of the parts basis comes at Rs. 1050 per share, while the valuation of RIL including its treasury shares comes to Rs. 1140 per share. At the current market price of Rs. 1010.85, the stock is trading at 11.85 x FY16E EPS of Rs 85.30/share and at 9.73 x FY17E EPS of Rs 103.80/share. It is expected that the company’s surplus scenario is likely to continue for the next three years keeping its growth story in the coming quarters also.
