Over the coming years, the company plans to enhance its service delivery by robust growth and operational efficiency.
At the upper price band company is valuing at P/E of 20.4 times with a market cap of Rs 6,290 million post issue of equity shares and return on net worth of 18.5%.
On the valuation front, we believe that the company is fairly priced. Thus, we recommend a “Subscribe” rating to the IPO.
Key Risks
Disruptions in the economic cycles and decreased demand in various sectors on a national and international level might have a negative impact on the earnings and financial health of the company.
The company relies heavily on the domestic market for its sales, with a majority of revenues historically coming from local sales. Any downturn in the domestic market could dent the company's market share and financial performance.
Delays or cost overruns in setting up these facilities, along with potential disruptions in the transportation of assets, could adversely affect financial performance.
All manufacturing facilities of the company are situated in Nagpur, Maharashtra. Any localised social unrest, natural disaster, or disruption in production at these facilities could significantly impact the company's operations and financial condition.
The company also faces challenges in obtaining necessary approvals and licences for the new facilities, which could further impact business operations and results.
