Outlook and Valuation: At CMP of Rs130 the stock is trading at EV/EBITDA of 6x FY13E EBITDA of Rs53349million. Our valuation incorporates the expansion plans in aluminium and Novelis business which is assumed to take effect FY13 respectively. We have revised our valuation due to the volatility in the commodity market based on the uncertainty in the global market. We have revised copper price of LME at USD8475/ton and USD8950/ton for FY12 and FY13E. We have also cut down our INR/USD estimate to Rs44.78/dollar and Rs46/dollar for FY12E & FY13E. Considering this, our target price has been revised downward by 13% from Rs177/share earlier to Rs154/share.
