Industry overview
What are commodity futures?
Like other futures, commodity futures are mainly used as a hedging tool to protect any future price fluctuation in the underlying asset. Commodity futures are also used as an asset allocation. Commodities traded on the exchanges are needed to be delivered on the specified contract expiry day but a very small percentage of the commodity traded is physically delivered and the rest all is settled in cash.
Salient features of Indian commodity industry
· India has over 7000 agricultural markets better known as mandis.
· In the fiscal 2011 agricultural sector accounted for 14.2 percent of the GDP.
· There are 30 commodity exchanges recognized by the Forward Markets Commission (FMC).
· In the fiscal 2001, total value of commodity traded on commodity exchanges in India was Rs. 52,490 billion.
Future of Commodity Trading in India
India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world and for the fiscal 2011 India’s average GDP growth rate was 8.6%. India’s growth is supposed to drive the underlying demand for the commodities and Increase in physical market volume shall result in increment of hedging requirement by commodity players which ultimately shall increase derivative trading volumes.
Why commodity trading volume will multiply in future ?
·
Presently non-agriculture commodities are predominantly traded on Indian commodity exchanges but with increasing penetration of exchanges in rural parts of India, agricultural commodity trading has got immense potential to grow.
· Presently option trading of commodity futures is not allowed in India. In future with government giving its consent for option trading in commodity, shall result in boosting of the commodity trading volumes.
· In future more intangible assets like rainfall, freights etc maybe included. Equity investors too may turn to commodity markets as a diversification move.

Inference
Since long Indian capital market has not witnessed a quality IPO. Market is desperately been waiting for this grand IPO. At the upper price band of Rs. 1032 MCX’s stock shall be trading at 17.9 times its FY 12 earnings which is well justified considering the profit CAGR of 23 %. Apart from that MCX enjoys a robust net profit margin of 47 %. At the upper price band stock gives 27.3 % and 38.1 % returns on equity and ‘capital employed’ respectively. MCX boasts the strong reserves which will be one-fifth of its market capitalization at the upper price band.MCX is a debt free company and thus is unfazed from the high interest regime. Presently MCX is the clear market leader among Indian commodity exchanges with a whopping 87.5 % market share and thus making it a herculean task for competitors to overtake it in near future. But burgeoning number of commodity exchanges shall put a pressure on its profitability and growth numbers.
Taking the view of present bullish sentiments and grey market premium of the IPO, investors are advised to bid for the IPO at the upper price band of Rs. 1032 Rs.
With overall market remaining buoyant, this IPO is supposed to bring listing gains for the short term investors. Even for medium to long term investor upper price band of Rs. 1032 is a decent price to start accumulating the shares.
Only one thing that such a big IPO shall list its shares on BSE only is difficult to digest. Even small IPOs list their shares on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Listing on both national exchanges (NSE & BSE ) ensures efficient and transparent price discovery.
However, investors are advised to apply in the IPO using ASBA.
