17 September 2020 We analyzed details of Power Grid (PWGR)s tariff-based competitive bidding (TBCB) projects from their annual reports. At an aggregate level, in our view, PWGR should be able to generate ~14% equity IRR (assuming a debt-to-equity commissioned TBCB projects varies in the range of 227%. TBCB currently remains small in the overall context (3% FY20 PAT; 5% gross block). However, with increased awarding at the interstate/intrastate level on a TBCB basis, its pie would eventually grow. Over the past one year, PWGR has won ~7 projects on a TBCB basis. We expect profits from TBCB projects to rise to INR7.8b in FY23 from INR3.7b as new projects get commissioned. PWGR also seeks to monetize its TBCB assets through the InvIT mode and has acquired an in-principle approval from the board and the cabinet. PWGRs eight commissioned projects account for a gross block of ~INR125b.
