Fair Value Analysis
—
Insufficient data to compute fair value | Sector-cheap: P/E at 95th percentile vs sector peers. | CAUTION: ROCE declining (latest 0.9%) — returns on capital are falling; verify this isn't a value trap. | COVID-recovering: PAT dropped from ₹16Cr (FY2019) to ₹-345Cr (FY2020); partially recovered. Growth rate uses pre-COVID base.
