Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Though this RI is at a discount of around 32.5% based on its last traded price, the issue appears costly and financial results have been at a minuscule level. The company is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. Well-informed/cash surplus investors may park moderate funds for medium term.
