Comments by Motilal Oswal

According to Motilal Oswal, "Over the near term, the Steel market remains weak. However, considering a) the long-term growth plan already under implementation (funded largely through internal accruals), b) the target to turn net debt zero by Mar'23 at the latest, and c) the mix towards flats improving the blended NSR substantially, we are positive on the stock and maintain a BUY rating."
