RIL has recently commissioned the world's largest ethane cracker project, the final phase of its Para-xylene project, and started its Refinery off-gas cracker (ROGC) and downstream projects. These projects will add further value to the company's petrochemical business. Operating efficiencies will likely benefit from these projects, resulting in further integration benefits over the medium term, the rating agency said.
The company has a strong financial profile reflected in robust debt protection metrics and gearing of less than 1 times. The company is approaching the end of its large capex plan in its petrochemical & refining and telecom segments. This capital expenditure is mainly to strengthen its refinery and petrochemicals business and in the pan-India telecom and broadband services through Reliance Jio Infocomm, it added.
“RIL’s capex of USD 18.5 billion in Refining and Chemicals is nearing completion. Some projects are already operational, and will boost EBITDA in the core business over FY17-20E. During the last five years, high capex in Telecom and Core business has dragged RIL's free cash flow. Rising dividend payouts are likely hereon. Jio continues to gain 4G subscriber share, making us constructive on the business,” HDFC Securities said in Q4FY18 results update. The brokerage firm maintains ‘buy’ rating on the stock with 12 month SOTP-based target price of Rs 1,178.
