We expect ACL’s realisation to be the least negatively affected in the months ahead among the large cement players in India, thanks to the company’s better regional sales mix. ACL’s capacity expansion projects are nearing completion, so we expect volume growth to accelerate in CY10. Benefits from the company stopping clinker purchase from 2QCY10, higher captive power generation and improved volume growth will negate the negative impact of decline in realisation, in our view. At a PER of 11x, EV/EBIDTA of 6x and EV/tonne of US$124 on CY10ii estimates, ACL is trading at reasonable valuations, in our view. We retain ADD on the stock”.
