At current price of around Rs 200 per share, shares of Nayara Energy (Essar Oil) are available at market capitalisation of about Rs 29,800 crore.

In August 2017, Russian oil giant Rosneft acquired Essar Oil’s assets, including its fuel retail outlets for $12.9 billion from the Ruia’s.

Nayara’s refinery has one of the highest complexities across refineries in India, a Nelson Complexity Index (NCI) of 11.8. Due to high complexity of refinery, Nayara is easily able to process heavier grades of crude oil resulting in higher margins when compared with low complexity refineries. The company during past three years has processed around 64% of ultra-heavy, 30% of heavy and remaining light crude. The refinery has a capacity of 20 MMTPA which constitutes around 8% of India’s refining capacity. It can process crude oil with a blend of 15-60 API (API/American Petroleum Institute gravity is a measure of how heavy or light petroleum liquid is compared with water). Since its commencement, the refinery has consistently achieved a crude throughput more than its rated capacity of 20 MMT, except in the years where company had planned shutdown.

Liquidity – Nayara has strong liquidity with cash and cash equivalents of around Rs.4,000 crore as on March 31, 2020. In addition to this, the company also has undrawn working capital limits and Bill discounting limits, providing additional liquidity cushion. Nayara has availed moratorium on its debt facilities from banks. Nayara has debt repayment of around Rs.771 crore in FY21 which will be met through internal accruals. The company during FY21 expects to incur capex of around Rs.700 crore which is general capex and will be funded through internal accruals only. The Company as per the guidance received from its Board maintains sufficient liquidity in the form of cash balance and credit lines to withstand unexpected eventualities and navigate through the adverse liquidity environment.

Expansion – At the end of 2021, the company plans to have 7,300 fuel retail outlets, up from the present 5,344. This expansion will increase market share from 5% to 7%.

With this expansion, Nayara will retain its tag of the largest private fuel retailer in the country. Reliance Industries trails Nayara with around 1,372 fuel retail outlets followed by Shell which operates over 120 fuel retail stations in the country and has acquired land for another 150, which are under-construction. Shell plans to open 1,200 retail stations across India over the next ten years. RIL along with partner BP Plc plans to jointly set up 2,000 petrol pumps in India over the next few years.

Nayara is also investing $850 million to expand its Vadinar refinery to foray into the petrochemical business. In the first phase, the company plans to set up a 450,000-tonnes-per annum polypropylene plant. Polypropylene is used in applications, including packaging for consumer products, plastic parts for various industries including the automotive industry and textiles etc. The unit is targeted to be completed by 2022-end.

Besides the petrochemical unit, the company may also invest in adding capacity at the refinery to produce Euro-VI grade petrol and diesel as India is set to implement strict emission norms under Bharat Stage VI from April 1, 2020.

Outlook: 

Nayara Energy Limited (formerly known as Essar Oil Limited) derives strengths from strong market position of its shareholders i.e. Rosneft Singapore Pte Limited, a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company and Kesani Enterprises Company Limited, a consortium comprising Trafigura and United Capital Partners (UCP) investment group, together having 49.13% shareholding each and their continuous support to Nayara
whether in sourcing of crude, offtake of products or in export prepayments.

The shareholders, both Rosneft and Trafigura have extended their support to Nayara for procurement of crude, exports of refined products. The shareholders have also supported in improving its capital structure by providing long and mid-term export prepayments backed by offtake contracts at optimal market cost. These prepayments have led to improvement in Nayara’s liquidity position and working capital.

Nayara’s flexibility in sourcing of crude, its strong operational profile being India’s second largest single location refinery, relatively higher Gross Refining Margins (GRMs) due to higher complexity of refinery, continuous 100% refinery throughput since commencement (except where company had planned shutdown) and strategic location of its refinery along with captive port terminal and power plant albeit a single asset facility.

Growth in retail operations as well as its inventory hedging policy negates the volatility in crude prices.

Nayara generates its revenue from both domestic sales as well as exports through servicing prepayment contracts and various tenders; this enables the company to offset lower demand in one of the markets. In addition, the company expects to reap benefits of IMO 2020 once the spread of COVID-19 recedes globally and the market stabilizes as the company has already started producing new products like HDD (high density diesel) to meet IMO requirements. The company has also started making BS-VI products for the domestic market and the effects for it are yet to be seen.
