AIL has started its Khurja FTWZ with 2 warehouses and it can be estimated that the company to ramp it up to 4 by end of FY13E. The company is already operating 4 warehouses at Panvel FTWZ and we estimate the company to ramp it up to 8 warehouses by end of FY13E.
In the rail segment the company operates 20 rakes currently which they would ramp up to 30 by end of FY13E. The company continues to grow steadily in its core third party logistics (3PL) businesses.

With improvement in margins and benefits of aggressive capex accruing to the company going ahead, one can expect the return ratios of the company to improve.

discount to the one year forward multiple of 8 x of peer group companies in the Logistics space which comes at Rs 188. The discount captures the risks on account of the high leverage position of the company. Investors with medium term view can bUY the stock with a price target of Rs 188.
