Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 23.6% over the past year, and 10.1% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales slipped from 27.6% to 14.9% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 10.1% a year against a sector median of 7.2% — 2.9 percentage points faster.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 10.8× earnings against a market that pays 24.1× across 2199 companies we can price. Its own industry sits at 39.2×, across 5 companies. It is against its own five-year median of 12.3×, the 40th percentile of its own range.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
Its earnings are falling, so growth cannot justify the price.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
How it compares with its peers
Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Other Textile Products), it ranks 33 of 106 on returns, 30 of 103 on growth, 16 of 106 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?
No durable advantage shows in the numbers: it earns 11.6% on capital, ahead of 69% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.
Whether its growth pays for itself
Yes — Over the last five years it made ₹441 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹154 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹156 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 12 years, about 90 arrived as cash. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 94 days for its cash to waiting 224 days for its cash.

Price trend
The price as a Renko brick chart: small moves drop out so the bigger path stands out.
Every brick is the same size, about one typical day's move. A new brick needs a full brick's move; turning the other way needs two. Bricks show where the price went, not where it will go.
