17 Apr 2012 Evaluate

Essar Oil is currently trading at Rs. 53.50, up by 0.10 points or 1.19% from its previous closing of Rs. 53.40 on the BSE.

The scrip opened at Rs. 53.50 and has touched a high and low of Rs. 53.90 and Rs. 52.90 respectively. So far 2,13,000 shares were traded on the counter.

The BSE group 'A' stock of face value Rs. 10 has touched a 52 week high of Rs. 140.00 on 21-Apr-2011 and a 52 week low of Rs. 44.80 on 18-Jan-2012.

Last one week high and low of the scrip stood at Rs. 54.65 and Rs. 52.45 respectively. The current market cap of the company is Rs. 131.33 crore.

The promoters holding in the company stood at 15.96% while Institutions and Non-Institutions held 4.22% and 79.82% respectively.

To settle off its Rs 6,300-crore sales tax burden to the Gujarat government, Essar Oil is in advance negotiations with the State Bank of India (SBI) to arrange for a six year loan with an average interest rate of 12.5 percent. If sanctioned, SBI’s exposure in Essar Oil alone will be close to Rs 9,500 crore.

Essar Oil, 87 per cent owned by London-listed Essar Energy Plc, had deferred $1.24 billion under a tax benefit provided by Gujarat, where its Vadinar refinery is located. In January, India’s top court ruled that Essar oil was not allowed to defer the payment.

As of December 2011, the company’s gross debt (long-term) had gone up 20 per cent to Rs 15,297 crore, against Rs 12,718 crore in December 2010. Its net worth in the same period was down 54 per cent at Rs 2,854 crore, against Rs 6,217 crore a year before.
