According to Sharekhan, "We expect the financial performance of the e-mobility business to strengthen going forward, driven by increasing contribution of high-speed e-2Ws, increasing retail penetration, and new launches. The stock trades at a P/E multiple of 21.2x and EV/EBITDA multiple of 9.1x its FY2024E estimates. Thus, we reiterate our Buy rating on the stock with a 12-month PT of Rs.183."

Key Risks: The company's performance can be impacted adversely if commodity prices start to rise again in the near term. With larger players getting aggressive in the EV space, competition is expected to intensify, which may affect the company's profitability in the medium term.
