Valuation:
We believe the company to report robust growth in sales on the back of capacity expansion and backward integration. Considering the healthy balance sheet and consistent ROE of ~26% for the last 5 years, we recommend a BUY rating in the stock with the target price (TP) of Rs.1080, 15x FY24E EPS.
