    Investment Rationale
    According to ICICI Direct while the company may remain laggard in terms of growth in FY21-23E due to delayed capacity expansion (likely commissioning Q3FY24E), the focus on strengthening balance sheet with significant debt reduction in FY22E remains a key positive. Given the constructive outlook, ICICI Direct maintains its positive stance on the company on expected strong OCF over the next two years. Hence, it maintains its buy rating with a revised target price of Rs 575/share (earlier Rs 470) (at 7x FY23E EV/EBITDA, $70/t).
