ITD Cementation India  / Equity Bottom-Up

ITD Cementation India Ltd (ITDCIL) is one of the few pure-play infrastructure execution companies left in India, in the last decade the entire infra space in India has diversified into debt funded asset heavy infra ownership which has led to tremendous value destruction. The company is engaged in the construction of marine structures, highways, bridges &amp; flyovers, metros, airports, hydro-tunneling, dams &amp; canals, water &amp; wastewater segment, industrial structures, buildings and specialist foundation engineering projects with presence across India. IDTCIL receives technological support from its parent company Italian-Thai Development Public Company Ltd (ITDPCL). ITDPCL has a presence across the globe and has expertise in the airport, Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS), high-speed bullet train projects, marine projects among others.

The company's order book as of Dec'18 stands at INR 95 bn with 45 bn order inflow between Jan'18 to Dec'18 its Book to Bill ratio is 3.73 times. Drivers: India is an infra deficit country.

Per the Global Competitive Index, India's infrastructure score had increased from 3.4 out of 7 in 2008 to 4.2 points out of 7 in 2017.

The Government of India (GOI) is expected to spend about INR 8 trillion through Sagarmala and INR 200 bn through Namami Gange. ITD Cementation India Ltd is expected to be one of the beneficiary due to its experience in metro and marine segment. The company is expected to grow at 65% in FY19 (15-month financial year) and is expected to register EBITDA margin of 12.4% and Profit margin of 4.26% with EBITDA at INR 4.3 bn and Profit at INR 1.57 bn.
