Bindhyabasini Hydropower Development Company (BHDC) is doing much the same as before; its valuation is not.

The base-case intrinsic value of BHDC has been revised down by about 25%. The change reflects leaner projected free cash flows and a change in the WACC estimation approach within our DCF model. 

Costs are the first drag. In the earlier valuation,  average combined COGS and administrative expenses (excluding royalty) were assumed at 16.03% of revenue. This has now been lifted to 18.84%, in line with the three-year historical average, trimming projected free cash flow to the firm (FCFF).
