| FY24 | 100.00 |

- Indicates aggressive reinvestment (~65%), boosting growth potential.
Indus Towers Ltd Valuation Projection (FY26 to FY30)
Using a DDM variant adapted for cash flows, assuming constant average Cash ROCE (22.95%) and retention ratio (65.28%). This implies explicit growth g = 65.28% × 22.95% = 14.98%. For terminal value, capped at sustainable g=5% (to avoid divergence as g > k). Base FY25 FCFE = FY25 PAT × (1 – retention) = ₹3,448 Cr (proxied via payout; aligns with historical distributions adjusted for buybacks).
Key Assumptions:
- FCFE grows at 14.98% for explicit period.
- Cost of Equity (k) = 7% (Rf=7%, no ERP).
- Explicit forecast for 5 years; terminal via Gordon Growth with g=5%: TV = FCFE_{30} × (1 + g) / (k – g).
- Shares outstanding: 2.64 billion.
- Current market price (Nov 10, 2025): ₹400 (NSE close).
Projected FCFE (₹ Cr)
| Year | FCFE (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|
| FY26 | 3,965 |
| FY27 | 4,558 |
| FY28 | 5,241 |
| FY29 | 6,026 |
| FY30 | 6,929 |
Present Value Calculation (Discounted at 7%)
| Year | FCFE (₹ Cr) | PV Factor | PV of FCFE (₹ Cr) |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY26 | 3,965 | 0.9346 | 3,705 |
| FY27 | 4,558 | 0.8734 | 3,981 |
| FY28 | 5,241 | 0.8163 | 4,278 |
| FY29 | 6,026 | 0.7629 | 4,597 |
| FY30 | 6,929 | 0.7130 | 4,940 |
| Terminal Value (End FY30) | 363,779 | 0.7130 | 259,370 |
| Total PV | 280,873 |
Intrinsic Equity Value: ₹280,873 Cr Intrinsic Value per Share: ₹1,064 (₹280,873 Cr / 2.64 billion shares)
Observations:
- Valuation suggests ~166% upside from ₹400, driven by high growth potential from retention and cash ROCE. Terminal g capped at 5% for realism (uncapped g=14.98% > k=7% implies infinite value).
- Sensitivity: If terminal g=6%, value ~₹1,450. If k=8%, value ~₹850. Model assumes steady metrics; risks include telco dues and 5G capex. For full DCF, see analyst reports.
