Healthy earnings growth (Ebitda/profit after tax compound annual growth rates in mid-20s over FY23-FY25E) is likely to be driven by:

  1. superior growth in highly profitable markets such as India and Indonesia;

  2. volume growth; and

  3. consistent capacity enhancement through capex in the organic portfolio.

We reiterate our 'Buy' rating with a target price of Rs 1,150 (based on 45 times FY25 earning per share).
