Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 6.5% over the past year, and 1.9% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 4.1% to 5.5% over the last year.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 1.9% a year against a sector median of 10.2% — 8.3 percentage points slower.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
Too little price history yet to compare it with its own past.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
It has no steady three-year profit record yet, so growth cannot be weighed against 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 (Specialty Chemicals), it ranks 28 of 73 on returns, 61 of 72 on growth, 67 of 73 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?
A narrow advantage: it earns 14.5% on capital, ahead of 62% 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 ₹1213 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹536 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹493 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 8 years, about 78 arrived as 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.
