Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales grew 25.2% over the past year, and 9.5% a year over its longer record. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales slipped from 4.3% to 3.0% over the last two years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 9.5% a year against a sector median of 10.5% — 0.9 percentage points slower.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
It has no earnings, so there is no price-to-earnings to compare.
Whether growth justifies the valuation
It has no earnings to weigh the price against.

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 across the whole Automobile and Auto Components sector, it ranks 119 of 130 on returns, 71 of 125 on growth, 125 of 130 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 4.3% on capital, ahead of 8% of companies across its whole sector. 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 ₹510 crore of cash from the business, spent ₹264 crore on plant and equipment, and returned ₹105 crore to lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 8 years, about 413 arrived as cash — well above the profit; depreciation and interest are the reason, not a windfall. Its cash comes back faster than it used to: it went from being waiting 7 days for its cash to paid 2 days before it paid its own suppliers.

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.
