Stalling Investments in Infrastructure and the Expanding Infra Debt Burden in...Dharish David
Infrastructure investments have recently been stalling in India, this has been mainly because the companies operating in the infra space have relied excessively on debt financing. With PPP projects peaking in 2010, there has been a steady decline in private sector investments in infrastructure, as companies struggle with higher debt loads. The high financial leverage of these companies have also put pressure on public sector banks that are reaching their exposure limits, with rising NPAs and stressed loans. The government is urgently trying to revive investments in infrastructure to sustain economic growth, by removing regulatory hurdles and providing opportunities for refinancing, while also cleaning up the banking system.

FINANCE BILL 2012 – MAJOR ISSUES AND CHALLENGESNeha Sharma
The Finance Bill 2012 was presented in the Lok Sabha recently and is under consideration of the Parliament. A very heated debate is happening on several new provisions and issues arising there from.
Since an increase in the non-performing assets (NPAs) of banks was identified within the banking system, the entire financial system in India has been in a state of turmoil. While the bank NPA crisis was successfully handled by the Reserve Bank of India through asset quality reviews and such measures over a period of time, another channel for generating credit, the Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), quietly became the flagbearers of the new NPAs. This came into the spotlight when India’s leading infrastructure finance company, the Infrastructure Leasing & Finance Services (IL&FS), defaulted on payment obligations in September 2018. Known as India’s “Near-Lehman moment”, this kick-started another crisis in the economy. Shortly afterwards, the India’s GDP growth rate plummeted and has been on a decline ever since.

Case 1 Why shareholders wealth maximization value maximization is c.pdfrahulfancycorner21
Case 1 Why shareholders wealth maximization /value maximization is considered as better
objective of financial management instead of profit maximization and how do we calculate
shareholders wealth? In the pre reform era, State Electricity Board in Odisha was incurring huge
transmission and distribution (T&D) losses eroding its financial health. State government
initiated reforms to transform the state-owned electricity sector into decentralized, market
oriented industry with private sector participation. Odisha was the first State in the country to
undertake such reform and restructure its power sector in 1996 in order to make power supply
more efficient and also to meet the investment needs of the sector. The reforms led to setting up
of Odisha Electricity Regulatory Commission (OERC). OERC was the first of its kind in the
country to be created in the electricity sector. Post reform, OERC has done pioneering work and
has framed regulations as required under Section 185 of the Electricity Act. The Orissa State
Electricity Board which was a monolithic organisation, looking after generation, transmission
and distribution of power was unbundled. In the reform process, distribution system was
entrusted to three private companies. The Distribution Licensee operating in Odisha namely
NESCO, WESCO and SOUTHCO are carrying out the business of distribution and retail supply
of electricity in their licensed areas. Since the reform, consumer base has doubled. The count of
electricity consumers in the state is expected to reach 9.6 million in FY19, from 5.8 million by
the end of 2014-15. However, almost half of the households still lack access to the electricity.
The growth in electricity demand is slated to be the most in 2015-19, pegged to grow at 9.86 per
cent. This is more than double the growth of 4.11 per cent that the state logged during 2010- 15.
A report says there is substantial investment in Capital Expenditure (capex). Distribution
companies (discoms) in the state have spent Rs.550 crore on Capex programme with an aim to
prune high AT&C (aggregate technical & commercial) losses. It would be pertinent to analyse
the performance of distribution companies during the regulatory regime relating to important
parameters of performance. Following table provides summary of performance. Performance of
distribution companies in terms of distribution loss, AT&C loss and collection efficiency

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activity scaled a six-year high in 2016, with deal value at a record high of $56.2
billion, up 87% over a year before. The year also saw the largest ever inbound investment, of $12.9 billion.
• M&A activity was driven by increased consolidation across sectors as various companies divested distressed
assets, to reduce debt. On the other hand, corporates with stronger balance sheets were seen deploying funds
towards acquisitions and consolidating their market positions.
• In 2016 restructuring also emerged as an important factor, with companies’ focus on optimizing their portfolio
with 60 restructuring deals with an aggregate disclosed value of $7.7 billion were recorded.
Merger and Acquisition Situation in India
• ‘Distress’ generally means that the company is having difficulty dealing with its liabilities. Before a crisis erupts
and thoughts turn to formal bankruptcy proceedings, a distressed company may try to mitigate its exposure by
seeking amendments or waivers to its credit facilities or debt securities.
• If above options are not sufficient, then it may take other measures, for example seeking to sell assets as part
of its plan to improve its financial condition.
What is Distress?
• Distressed companies can be attractive acquisition targets, as their price often reflects the difficulties the
company faces, it also offers more significant opportunities than in non-distressed M&A transactions.
• As per a study by the London School of Economics, firms that buy distressed and bankrupt companies earn
excess returns that are at least 1.6% points higher than what they make from regular acquisitions.
Reasons for Distressed Acquisitions

of Distress
Distressed investors uncover potential targets through a number of channels,
including investment banks, bankruptcy courts/filings, turnaround specialists,
law firms and other advisors.
Financial distress may not solely be caused by a company taking on too much
debt. In reality, most troubled companies become distressed through a
combination of factors.
In contrast to a healthy M&A transaction, a distressed M&A transaction is not
only a transaction between a seller and a purchaser, often the purchaser will
be required to negotiate with senior and junior lien holders and lenders,
secured and unsecured creditors and a bankruptcy judge.

5. OVERVIEW OF DISTRESS INDUSTRIES
Gross non-performing assets (NPAs), of state owned banks surged 56.4% to
INR 614,872 crore during the 12 month period ended December 2016, and is expected to
rise further in the next two quarters with many units, especially in the small and medium
sectors, according to figures compiled by Care Ratings for The Indian Express.
In its various publications, most notably in the Financial Stability Report (FSR),
the RBI has said five sectors - Infrastructure, Steel, Textiles, Power and Telecom have
contributed to more than 60% of bank stress.
240 of the Top 500 borrowers who hold around 42% of the total outstanding debt of
INR 28.1 trillion belong to the stressed and ERR (Elevated Risk of Refinance) categories,
says a report published by Live Mint dated June, 2016.
The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) through Asset Quality Review and different
Restructuring Mechanisms has decided to clean up the Balance Sheets of Indian banks,
this has created pressure on Distressed Borrowers to Sell Core/Non-Core assets to
repay their ballooning debts.

8. POWER SECTOR OVERVIEW
India is the 3rd largest producer & 4th largest consumer of
electricity in the world, with the installed power capacity
reaching 305.55 GW by September 2016. The country also
has the 5th largest installed capacity in the world.
Despite the encouraging growth trajectory in the energy
space over the last few years, the Indian Power sector has
still not been able to induce and sustain the required
capacity addition matching the ever growing power
demand of the country.
As much as 59% of the generated power in India comes
from coal-based thermal power plants. Although India has
the 3rd largest coal reserves in the world, most of the
domestic requirements are met through imports
Years of populist tariff schemes, mounting AT&C losses
and operational inefficiencies have adversely affected the
financial health of State Discoms, which are currently
plagued with humongous outstanding debts.
As much as 25% of the generated power is lost in
transmission in India as compared to a maximum of 5% in
other Asian countries like China and South Korea. This is
mainly due to lack of state-of-the-art infrastructure.

9. Adani Transmission Ltd. (ATL) has entered into a definitive share-purchase pact with
Reliance Infrastructure (R-Infra) for acquiring power transmission assets of 3,100 circuit km at an
enterprise value of INR 1,000 crore.
As per the deal, R-Infra will sell its Western Region Transmission Gujarat project (WRTG) and the
Western Region Transmission Maharashtra project (WRTM) to ATL.
R-Infra will also sell its 74% stake in Parbati Koldam Transmission Company (PKTCL) in Himachal
Pradesh and Punjab to ATL. In October last year, the company announced the signing of a binding
term sheet with ATL for 100% stake sale of its transmission assets.
The deal was aimed at cutting consolidated debt of R-Infra, which stood at over INR 25,000 crore as
on March 31, 2016. R-Infra owns two electricity transmission lines spanning Maharashtra, Gujarat,
Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka and has a 74% stake in PKTCL covering Himachal Pradesh and Punjab.

10. Sajjan Jindal's JSW Energy will acquire a 1,000 MW power plant in Chhattisgarh from Jindal Steel and
Power Ltd (JSPL), controlled by younger brother Naveen.
According to the deal, JSW Energy will pay at least INR 4,000 crore, excluding net current assets, and
an additional INR 2,500 crore if JSPL's 1,000 MW power plant in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh secures a long
term power purchase agreement.
The power plant was originally a division of Jindal Power Ltd, of which JSPL owns a little over 96%. For
the purpose of the deal, the power plant is being transferred to Everbest Steel & Mining Holdings Ltd.,
a special purpose vehicle (SPV), in which JSPL holds 99%. Under the terms of the agreement,
JSW Energy will acquire 100% of the SPV. Once the transaction is complete, the aggregate installed
and operational capacity of JSW Energy will rise to 5,531 MW.
JSPL's financials have been hit by the cancellation of coal blocks and payment of additional levies on
coal of more than INR 3300 crore in FY14-16 as a result of a Supreme Court order. The profitability at
both its key steel and power businesses have been hit because of acute coal shortages, falling
realization and no material improvement in utilization of recently commissioned assets.
For JSPL, with a net debt of INR 46,000 crore, the divestment is part of its asset monetization plan to
generate stable cash flows to be in a position to meet all liabilities.

12. The year 2016 is a landmark year in the Indian telecoms industry. The much awaited sector consolidation set-in. Some of
the key drivers for market consolidation include increasing pressure on profitability, hyper-competition, spectrum
trading and sharing guidelines and favorable M&A policy. In addition, the sector also witnessed a number of spectrum
trading and sharing deals.
In August 2016, spectrum auction took place with the largest quantum of spectrum being made available by the
Government of India. However, the auctions witnessed muted response, primarily on account of high reserve prices. Of
the 2,355 megahertz (MHz) total spectrum across seven bands put up for auction, only 40% of the spectrum got sold
with no activity seen in 700MHz and 900MHz band.
The country’s telecom sector is saddled with a debt burden of over INR 4.6 lakh crore. With a subscriber base of over 1.1
billion, it is passing through one of its toughest phases, having to contend with dwindling revenues and high debt burden
to service, leading to accelerated phase of mergers in the sector.
About three years ago, there were 12-14 operators in each circle. This has come down to five and shrinking due to
consolidation moves. Reliance Communications is already on the verge of finalizing the agreement to merge Aircel Ltd
into its own business. It will also soon be merged with Systema Shyam Teleservices, the owner of MTS services.
Shareholders have approved the merger of Reliance Communication’s wireless business with Aircel.
Meanwhile, Idea Cellular and Vodafone India are reportedly looking to seal their proposed merger. The merged entity
of Vodafone-Idea has potential to emerge as the market leader in terms of wireless subscribers. Following Reliance Jio’s
announcement of a tariff war, other telecom operators like Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and Idea Cellular rushed to match its
offers. Consequently, the revenues have fallen.
TELECOM SECTOR - OVERVIEW

13. In September last year, Reliance Communication (RCom) and Aircel had announced merger talks to
create an entity with an asset base of more than INR 65,000 crore and a net worth of
INR 35,000 crore. Besides, it will help trim RCom’s overall debt by INR 20,000 crore and that of Aircel
by INR 4,000 crore.
RCom sold 51% of its tower business to Brookfield Group in December. The telecom towers will be
demerged into a separate new entity that will be 100% owned and independently managed by the
Canadian company. The Brookfield and Aircel transactions will help RCom reduce debt by 70% by
2018. RCom’s debt stood at INR 42,800 crore as of December 31, 2016.
The shareholders of RCom at their meeting convened pursuant to the order of the National Company
Law Tribunal (NCLT), have approved with 99.99% majority for the Scheme of Arrangement
for demerger of the wireless division of the company and Reliance Telecom Limited (RTL),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, into Aircel Ltd. and Dishnet Wireless Ltd.

The merged company will also have a total subscriber count of more than 177 million.

15. STEEL SECTOR OVERVIEW
The decline of steel sector in the past
4-5 years can be attributed to many

Steel plays a major role in the growth of a developing economy and is extensively used in a variety of areas such as social and
economic infrastructure, defense, automobiles etc.
The government has stepped up infrastructure spending from the current 5% of GDP to 10% by 2017, and the country is committed to
investing USD1 trillion in infrastructure during the 12th Five Year Plan. Considering 15% as steel component in the total investment,
the initiative has a potential to generate an additional demand for steel of 18.75mtpa

16. Sajjan Jindal owned JSW Steel, as per reports that surfaced in Jan’17, was on the verge of finalizing a
deal with bankers to take over Bhushan Steel’s debt of INR 30,000-33,000 crore and acquire majority
stake in the company.
If the deal goes through JSW Steel would get to own 55% stake pledged by the company’s promoters
to avail bank loans, according to The Hindu.
Banks have been struggling with Bhushan Steel’s debt, ever since the company defaulted on its
interest payment in August 2014. Further lenders led by State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank,
were trying to restructure Bhushan Steel loan even while considering the option to carve out some
parts of the business for sale.
With debt of more than INR 40,000 crore as reported by Mint in April 16, Bhushan Steel has been
among the larger stressed accounts for domestic banks. Banks have been struggling with the account
since August 2014, when they first formed a joint lenders forum (JLF) to monitor the company. After
working on a number of options, including refinancing debt under 5/25 scheme which allows firms to
extend the duration of loans, banks finally had to classify the loan as a bad one.
JSW Steel, acquisition of Bhushan’s Odisha Steel unit having capacity of 5.6 million tonnes would
mark the company entry into the mineral rich state and further increase JSW’s manufacturing
capacity. However there has been no further developments reported on the said front post
January’17 when it was first reported.

17. JSW Steel had acquired 41% stake in debt-ridden Ispat Industries from Pramod and Vinod Mittal,
in December 2010 for about INR 2,157 crore. Ispat Industries was subsequently named as JSW
Ispat. Later, it increased its stake to 46.75% in JSW Ispat and is the single-largest shareholder of
the company.
In 2012, Sajjan Jindal led JSW Steel, announced the merger of renamed JSW Ispat with itself, 20
months after acquiring a controlling stake in Ispat Industries.
According to a report published in the Hindu, the integration was expected to bring significant
advantages, particularly in alternative steel making technologies and pan India market reach. It
would also yield considerable financial benefits to JSW Steel, which would utilise JSW Ispat’s
unabsorbed tax losses of INR2,000 crore, besides making optimal use of depreciation on further
capital investments.
Case Study: Other JSW Steel Acquisitions
JSW Steel Limited acquired 99.85% stake in JSW Steel (Salav) Limited (formerly known as Welspun
Maxsteel Limited) on October 31, 2014.
WMSL, a unit of Welspun Enterprises Ltd, had long-term debt of INR 1,087 crore.
Moreover WMSL is situated in close proximity to company’s Dolvi unit (in Maharashtra), offering
complementary infrastructure and location to augment the current envisaged expansion.
Moreover it had a captive jetty and railway sliding giving JSW Steel a strategic advantage.
