Fair Value Analysis

₹209

Based on free cash flow projections and balance sheet strength analysis and earnings growth potential for Others sector companies | Sector-cheap: P/E at 50th percentile vs sector peers. | CAUTION: ROCE declining (latest 8.4%) — returns on capital are falling; verify this isn't a value trap. | COVID-resilient: PAT dropped from ₹45Cr (FY2019) to ₹3Cr (FY2021) during COVID but has fully recovered.
