Prabhudas Lilladher Report

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. board approved the sale of 61.65% stake in Numaligarh Refinery to a consortium of Oil India Ltd., Engineers India Ltd. and Government of Assam for an enterprise value of Rs 160 billion.

The transaction values Numaligarh at price/earning of 8 times/10 times and EV/E of 5 times/8 times FY19/20 respectively.

The transaction is likely to be closed within a month of getting all the approvals.

This is in line with the company’s management commentary to close the transaction by Q4 FY21 end.

Proposed stake sale is a precursor to eventual divestment of BPCL, which will likely conclude by H1 FY22E.
