Valuation & Outlook
The new stainless steel capacity, LSAW capacity and expansion of ERW capacity is likely to be commissioned in H2FY21, thereby providing healthy visibility going forward. We value the stock on 20x FY22E EPS and arrive at a target price of Rs. 1475. We maintain our BUY rating on the stock.
