Nuvama initiates coverage with a 'BUY' rating on AGI Infra (AGIIL) with a target price of Rs 1448
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 26: Nuvama initiates coverage with a 'BUY' rating and a TP of INR1,448, valuing the stock at 1x FY26E NAV. AGI Infra (AGIIL) is among the few reputed real estate players in Punjab, with a dominant presence in Jalandhar, aided by a strong track record of well-received, high-quality projects. Operating in a market with limited branded competition, it has established a strong position and is strategically expanding into high-demand micro-markets across Punjab. With a robust development pipeline and a sizable, well-located land bank, it is well-positioned to capitalise on Punjab's growing housing demand. Our confidence in its long-term growth story is aided by a structurally buoyant home market. Report link: Key growth Drivers are highlighted below: CAGR of 13% over FY26-30E on the back of a strong launch pipeline of ~INR5,120cr (9.8msf) and ongoing inventory of ~INR1,280 (4.98msf); I. Strong demand for its product and further price realisation; II. In-house construction using its team of experts, coupled with the use of Mivan technology, which gives it an edge in terms of faster execution, on-time delivery, and boosts margin; III. Favourable dynamics in Punjab with lower inventory and limited supply by branded players; IV. Net cash surplus of INR2,060cr over FY26-32E (sans its land bank) led by pre-sales growth; V. With a large land parcel spread across diverse locations, where demand is high, it is ready for the future. We expect a net cash surplus of INR1,506cr and a healthier Balance Sheet led by strong collections and internal accruals (net D/E ratio to improve to -0.1x in FY27E from 0.2x as of March). It has ten/four ongoing/upcoming projects, with an inventory/saleable area of 4.98msf/9.8msf (GDV of ~INR1,280cr/~INR5,120cr). Well-diversified land reserves of ~12.2msf will be used for future development. We expect GDV of ~INR1,280/~INR5,400cr ongoing inventory/upcoming to be liquidated by FY30 and envisage a cash surplus of ~INR2,060cr from ongoing and upcoming projects. We see project additions once it launches most of its existing projects. We value AGIIL on its FY26E NAV considering its land reserves and ability to add projects aggressively in its existing micro-market given its brand value and improved Balance Sheet. Organised real estate players gain an edge in underserved Punjab micro-markets Its more than two decades of experience helps it stand out among Punjab's few organised players. Jalandhar and Ludhiana are among the fastest-growing realty markets in the region, with strong traction seen in recent years. We expect continued demand and price appreciation given: i) its luxury positioning, and ii) the presence of an affluent client base. Limited supply from organised players, better infrastructure, and rising aspirations are driving demand for branded residential projects. Proven execution and strategic Tier II presence backed by a diversified portfolio AGIIL's expertise lies in residential development, with a portfolio evenly balanced between luxury and affordable housing. This ensures access to a diversified client base and resilience across market cycles. It has delivered ~9msf across 10 successful projects in Jalandhar. It is expanding in key high-growth micro-markets in Tier II cities where demand is robust. Leveraging Mivan technology and in-house execution, it is ensuring faster project execution, greater durability, and reduced labour and overhead costs. With a sizeable land bank in Tier II cities and a proven execution track record, it is best placed to sustain margin and capitalise on rising demand for branded and quality housing across Punjab. Ongoing and upcoming projects total ~14.8msf; launches seen till FY30 It has significantly scaled up given: i) the favourable market dynamics, ii) timely delivery of premium projects, and iii) strong demand for completed projects, leading to healthy collections and efficient capital recycling via internal accruals. It has 10 ongoing projects (eight residential and a commercial and plot each) with an inventory of ~4.8msf. Four upcoming projects (residential/commercial: three/ one), with a saleable area/GDV of 9.8msf/~INR5,120cr, will be launched by FY30. We expect the entire ongoing inventory to get liquidated by FY28-end. Expect a cash surplus of ~INR2,060cr over FY26-32; Net debt to equity to decline -0.1x in FY27 We expect ongoing and upcoming residential projects to generate a gross/net cash flow of INR8,283cr/INR2,060cr over FY26-32. We foresee a net D/E ratio of -0.1x by FY27 from 0.5x as of FY25on healthy internal accruals. Recommend buy with TP of Rs 1,448 We recommend Buy with a target price of Rs1,448 (upside of 36%). Our Buy recommendation is drive by 1. Well located land bank 2. Experienced management 3. Strong execution 4. Strong demand 5. Healthy cash flows 6. Comfortable balance sheet 7. Attractive valuations. Expect healthy cash flows aided by: i) the development of land parcels, ii) strong brand positioning, and iii) price premium in Punjab. We discount cash flows to FY26 to arrive at a NAV of INR3,539cr with a TP of INR1,448. Maintain BUY.

EcoYou Powers India's Energy Independence with Global Biogas Growth Ahead of BioEnergy Global 2025
VMPL New Delhi [India], July 25: EcoYou - the Energy Division of Ecoboard Industries Limited - has solidified its position as a global leader in Compressed Biogas (CBG) solutions, with over 125 large-scale biogas digestor installations operating across the world. These systems treat more than 20 million cubic meters of industrial effluents annually, converting waste from dairy, distillery, and agro-industries into clean, renewable energy. EcoYou will showcase these innovations at BioEnergy Global 2025, to be held in New Delhi from July 29-31, where it joins leading energy companies, policymakers, and technology providers shaping the future of bioenergy. EcoYou's Indian clients are now actively participating in the Government of India's SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) scheme, converting raw biogas into purified bio-CBG for industrial and vehicular use. "At EcoYou, we help our customers turn waste into wealth," said G. Ramakrishna Raju, Managing Director of EcoYou. "Effluent treatment is no longer optional--it's essential for industrial sustainability. Our systems save around 500,000 tons of coal annually, substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions." EcoYou's Dry Digestor Systems, in partnership with Ruckert Naturgas (Germany), tackle solid waste, while Wet Digestor systems--based on Swiss technology--process high-load liquid waste. The company has also partnered with KP Engineering to deliver Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) solutions. Through these innovations, EcoYou transforms industrial waste into bio-CBG, contributing directly to environmental protection, energy security, and economic development. EcoYou's advanced biogas systems are powered by Sulzer-based Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) technology, known for its robust, energy-efficient performance in complex industrial environments. "Globally, our systems are helping industries reduce their carbon footprint while embracing circularity. This is not just environmental stewardship--it's sustainable progress that benefits the planet, people, and profits" says Praveen Gottumukkala, Technical Advisor at EcoYou. Beyond energy production, EcoYou's projects have far-reaching environmental and economic benefits. By enabling reuse of treated water, industries reduce their freshwater dependency and operational costs. The systems also support organic composting and sludge-to-energy conversion, aligning with India's sustainability priorities including the National Water Mission, Swachh Bharat, and multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Globally, countries like Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands have stringent discharge norms and high adoption of biogas and ZLD systems. Technologies such as membrane bioreactors (MBRs), advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), AI-enabled monitoring, and real-time analytics are increasingly common. Treated wastewater is reused in agriculture, and sludge is processed into energy or compost, supported by strong digital infrastructure and regulatory enforcement. India is fast catching up. Adoption of dry and wet digestors and ZLD technologies is growing, especially among large industries. More corporates are integrating bio-CBG projects into their ESG and CSR frameworks, making sustainability part of their core strategy. Headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, EcoYou is playing a pivotal role in shaping India's environmental and industrial future. By serving clients in sectors such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, distilleries, and food processing, EcoYou is ensuring that industrial progress and ecological responsibility go hand in hand.
