Conclusion / Investment Strategy

This is the 3rd RI from the company since May 2022. The counter is well managed by vested interests to tempt investors. The company’s performance has been average for the reported periods. Based on its recent price movement on the exchanges, this RI appears greedily priced. Its post RI equity base of Rs. 106 cr. plus indicates servicing issue. There is no harm in skipping this risky bet that has very low promoter’s holding.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
