RPL has installed captive power plant of 5 MW in 2004. The capacity was further increased to 10 MW in 2007. Today, it has the total capacity of 15 MW which fulfills all the present need of electricity of its plant. Geographic reach: 80% of RPLs total production is consumed in domestic markets and rest is exported. The Company is exporting its product to countries such as USA, Middle East, South Africa, South East Asia, Indonesia, France, Sri Lanka and United Kingdom. Strong dealer network: The Company has a strong dealer network with more than 60 dealers spread across Maharashtra, Gujarat and Central India. Esteemed clients: Reputed client base of RPL includes Nirma, Navneet Publications, Samrat News Paper, Hindustan Unilever, Colgate Palmolive and many more. RPL also caters to various state education boards and other Government bodies such as NCERT, IGNOU etc.

Raw Materials
Waste Paper: Wood fiber - the primary input: The primary input for the manufacturing of paper is wood fiber which is derived either from forest wood or agri residue or waste paper. Wood accounts for 37% of total production in India while agri residue and waste paper accounts for 32% and 31% respectively. Waste Paper the major input for RPL: RPL manufactures paper from waste paper. Almost 50% of the waste paper is imported either from Canada or Indonesia. Reasons for imports are: Indias per capita consumption of paper is lowest at 9 kg per person against global in-citibank from 192.193.160.10 on 2011-06-01 07:51:05 EDT. DownloadPDF. average 58 kg per person resulting in lower quantity of waste paper; Poor waste paper collection mechanism in India; Multiple usage of paper before recycling; and Imported waste paper offers better quality paper. Waste paper cost mainly includes collection centre cost and freight. Raw materials costs as a percentage of sales ranges between 48%-50% for the company.

Waste paper cost of the company fluctuates around ` 10-12 per kg mainly due to fluctuation of freight charges which basically is the derivative of crude price fluctuation. Increasing demand: The demand for waste paper is increasing year on year not only due to rise in the consumption of paper but also the policy change of various Governments regarding paper manufacturing. Demand for waste paper from China is increasing because now it is focusing on recycling of paper and shutting its wood pulp mills. China has added over 6 mn tones to its usual waste paper imports in 2010 as compared to about 26 mn tons annually. The US and European countries too are giving a policy push to recycle waste paper to address conservation issues. The demand for waste paper is also growing in the US. The US has suspended a tax credit subsidy to pulp mills for the use of black liquor as an alternative fuel. This subsidy runs into several billion dollars, given to the pulp till last year. It will mean that manufacturers will cut back on forest sources of wood fiber and increase the use of recycled paper. This will step up the demand for waste paper. India will have to step up its waste paper collection system as the US and Europe are stepping up waste paper usage and cutting down on virgin wood pulp use. Import duty cut in Budget 2012: Government has reduced import duty on waste papers from 5% to 2.5% in Budget 2012 to enhance the usage of waste paper in paper manufacturing.

Investment Rationale
1. Increasing Capacity to meet growing industry demand: The current Indian paper industry size is about ` 317 bn which is expected to grow with the CAGR of around 11% by FY2014-15 to ` 526 bn. The growth will be fuelled by strong industrial and economic growth. WPP is likely to be the largest contributor with the market share of 42% followed by paperboard at 39%. Demand for WPP segment is expected to rise with the CAGR of 7.6% till FY2014-15 as compared to CAGR of 6.5% during the last five years. Foreseeing the expected growth in the demand in the paper especially in WPP, RPL has planned to increase its paper capacity from 102,000 MTPA in FY09 to 305,000 MTPA in April 2011. The company has imported two paper plants of Voith make from Germany. The estimated cost of expansion is ` 6.3 bn. The cost includes: installation of German automated paper machine, installation of 20 MW thermal power plant, deinking plant, and technology upgradation. The project is divided in two phases details of which are given below:
Phase-I 81,000 MTPA Phase-II 122,000 MTPA

RPL will get access to certain value added products like glazed news print and specialty papers with the completion of Phase - II. Both, Phase - I and Phase - II are funded through debt and internal accruals. Phase I has already been commissioned. The company has raised GDRs worth ` 1.23 bn and tied up with the consortium of eight banks for the loan of ` 2 bn and rest from internal accruals, for Phase - II.

2.

Topline to grow at a CAGR of whooping 48% during the next three years: RPLs topline has seen handsome CAGR growth of 23% for the past three years. Revenues posted by the company for FY10 was ` 27.4 bn, which we expect to touch ` 88.9 bn by the end of FY13 with the CAGR growth rate of 48% due to strong economical and industrial growth. The growth will be fuelled by: Government focus on education: India has the worlds second largest student population with an estimated student base of 232 mn in schools and 15.5 mn in colleges. As per BCG Group a global shortage of

56 mn people in the working age group is expected by 2020 due to demographic shifts. On the contrary, India would have surplus of 47 million working population. Keeping this in view, Government, both at central and State levels and private sector are expected to increasingly invest in educational infrastructures in all stages including schools, higher education institutions and skills development center. During the 11th Five Year Plan the Government envisaged an outlay of ` 2700 bn towards the education sector, a four fold increase over the allocation of 10th Five Year Plan. Budget 2012 provisions: The Government provided ` 520.6 bn for education sector in the Budget 2012. Apart from this it has also proposed to introduce scholarship scheme to the students of SC/ST appearing in standard IX and X inducing them to study further. All these efforts from the Government are expected to boost the demand for WPP benefiting companies like RPL. Growing Organized Retail: The BMI India Retail Report for the first-quarter of 2011 forecasts that total retail sales will grow from US$ 392.63 billion in 2011 to US$ 674.37 billion by 2014. Strong underlying economic growth, population expansion, the increasing wealth of individuals and the rapid construction of organized retail infrastructure are key factors behind the forecast growth.

the expanding

middle and upper class consumer base. According to a report titled 'India Organized Retail Market 2010', published by Knight Frank India in May 2010 during 2010-12, around 55 mn sq ft of retail space will be ready in Mumbai, national capital region (NCR), Bengaluru, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. Besides, between 2010 and 2012, the organised retail real estate stock will grow from the existing 41mn sq ft to 95 mn sq ft. The increasing penetration of organized retail and the increasing preference for branded products are fuelling the demand for the products of the company. These organized retailers use virgin grade packaging boards which stimulate their demand. Increasing penetration of organized retail also creates demand for thermal paper as it is widely used by these retailers for billing. Increasing purchasing power of Indian middle class creating demand for consumer durables, FMCG, textiles and so on: Indias per capita income has increased by 10.5% to ` 44,345 in FY10 from ` 40,141 in FY09. This growth is the indicative of increased spending power of the consumer. The levels of aspirations have increased in the todays youth, with the rising trend of younger professionals that start earning early in life. According to a study by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), released in May 2007, India's middle class will swell by more than ten timesfrom 50 mn in 2007 to 583 mn people by 2025. By 2025, India will also become the 5th largest consumer market, moving up from the 12th position it occupied in 2007. SKP Securities Ltd www.skpmoneywise.com Page 6 of 14

This increasing purchasing power gives rise to the demand for FMCG products and consumer durables. The Indian FMCG sector, with a market size of US$ 25 billion (200708 retail sales), constitutes 2.15% of India's gross domestic product (GDP). India is recognized as a cost-effective quality manufacturing base in the world market. Food products are the largest consumption category in India, accounting for nearly 21 per cent of the countrys GDP. The industry is poised to grow between 10 to 12% annually. Demand for FMCG products, consumer durables, textiles etc increases with the increasing purchasing power of the middle class which in turn creates the demand for packaging paper such as Kraft paper.

3.

Increasing margins with the focus on value added products: The revenues of the company are expected to be evenly divided among its industrial paper and other paper (WPP, News paper and value added paper) segment after the completion of Phase II expansion mentioned earlier. The company was largely focused upon paper boards for generating revenues prior to this expansion. The commissioning of PM VIII automated Voith make paper machine will provide the company the access to number of value added products such as glazed newsprint, light weighted coated paper, non-carbon paper, thermal paper, coated paper and crepe paper.

Reducing Debt Favorable D/E: Since RPLs expansion plans will get over by the beginning of FY12 and there are no further plans for expansion (till date) we expect reduction in term loans in the books with the repayment. Term loans, which stood at ` 2,438 mn in FY10, is expected to reduce to ` 2,100 mn in FY13. We expect D/E to stabilize around 0.9x by the end of FY13 from 1.5x in FY10 with the improving shareholders fund and reducing term loans. Interest Cost & Interest Coverage

5. Near zero wastage of raw material: RPL has adopted the policy of near zero wastage of raw material by usage of sludge, plastic waste and fly ash for manufacturing innovative products having applications in varied industries. Sludge is the semi-solid material leftover of the processed wastepaper. Following is the various innovative usage of sludge, plastic waste and fly ash:
Innovation Paper Board Plastic Sheets - plain and corrugatted Bricks Application Substitute of wood for manufacturing furniture Thached roof Packaging

Residue Material Sludge Plastic Waste Fly Ash

Source: Company

Source Obtained while manufacturing from recycled fiber Segregated during waste paper processing by-product of captive power plant

The plants for the above products were installed in December 2010. We expect the above product to contribute around ` 130 mn ` 140 mn every year to the revenues of the company. Such efforts made by the company add to the profitability of the company with marginal production cost and also eliminates the problem of waste disposal.

Key Concerns
1.

Inadequate availability of virgin fiber: Availability of virgin fiber is inadequate resulting in high cost of raw materials including wood, non-wood and waste paper.

ISIEmergingMarketsPDF in-citibank from 192.193.160.10 on 2011-06-01 07:51:05 EDT. DownloadPDF. RPLs performance may suffer due to no availability or inadequacy of waste paper.

2.

Price volatility of waste paper: As mentioned earlier, waste Paper is the key raw material for the company, 50% of which is to be imported due to lack of proper collection infrastructure and low per capita consumption in India.

This makes RPL exposed not only to freight rate fluctuation risk due to crude oil price fluctuation but also the currency risk. Any adverse movement in the prices may put negative impact on the margins of the company.

3.

Fragmented Industry high competition: The domestic paper industry is highly fragmented. The estimated number of mills in India varies between 500 to over 1,000 with small size of paper mills.

Mills with the capacity of around 7,500 MTPA is considered small mill and the mills with the capacity of over 33,000 MTPA is considered big mills in India. Nearly 45% of paper mill in India are small units which are largely present in lower end of paper product segments such as unbleached kraft paper, duplex board, creamwove paper and news print. Thus, this makes the competition relatively higher within these products.

4. Substitution Threat: Paper competes with the products such as polymers and steel especially in industrial paper segment. Polymer poses the threat due to its being cheaper in comparison to paper. Its durability and appearance are also far better than paper. Similarly, WPP faces threat with increasing thrust for online storage of data.

Peer Set
As mentioned earlier, Indian paper industry is the highly fragmented industry with small size of paper mills. The top five paper producers account for 20-23% of market share, approximately. Given below are brief of some of the prominent organized players in the industry:

Top-line to grow at a CAGR of 48% in the coming 2-3 years: Net sales have gone up to ` 2.7 bn for FY10 by registering a growth of 18% due to improved realisations and higher volumes due to improved demand from the user industry. We expect the topline to grow at a CAGR of 48% in the coming 2-3 years, led by better realisations of value added papers and higher volumes due to commissioning of new capacities.

Improving margins: RPL has witnessed EBITDA margin of 22.9% in FY10 due to improved realisations. We expect margin to improve to 23.6% during the next 2-3 years on account of higher realisations enjoyed by value added paper products.

Valuation
Demand for paper and paper products has renewed with the strong rebound of the India and global economy. Domestic demand for paper is expected to grow with the CAGR of 11% in next 3-4 years. RPL would be among the few players in India manufacturing all kind of papers once the PM VIII is commissioned in April 2011. At the current market price of ` 54, the stock is undervalued based on discounted free cash flow approach. We recommend BUY rating on the stock with a target price of ` 91/- (68% upside) in 18 months.
