The company has shown erratic growth in sales, while the net margins are subdued at under 2%. The company has reasonable levels of ROE and asset turnover. However, the company may need a very strong profit narrative to justify valuations.

At the current issue price of ₹99 per share, the valuation of the company is at a P/E ratio of 22.0X in terms of latest year EPS of ₹4.49. The big advantage for the company is its proximity to the fast-growing urban centres of Gujarat which are seeing a rapid growth in demand for TMT bars amidst the construction boom.
