Review By Dilip Davda on August 30, 2024

•    The company is primarily in the business of manufacturing and processing of Bengal Gram (Chana).
•    It posted growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. 
•    Super growth for FY24 raises eyebrows.
•    Based on FY24 earnings, the issue appears fully priced discounting all near term positives.
•    Well-informed investors may park funds for long term.
