Answers
Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.
How fast it has been growing
Sales fell 0.3% over the past year. Meanwhile what it keeps of every 100 rupees of sales improved from 11.1% to 11.6% over the last four years.
Whether it grew faster than its sector
It grew 30.8% a year against a sector median of 9.8% — 21.0 percentage points faster.
Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating
At 7.4× earnings against a market that pays 23.9× across 2199 companies we can price. It is against its own five-year median of 27.1×, the 0th 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 Telecom Services), it ranks 2 of 5 on returns, 1 of 5 on growth, 2 of 5 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 17.4% on capital, ahead of 60% 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 ₹1293 crore of cash from the business and spent ₹137 crore on plant and equipment, with ₹1156 crore to spare; it still raised ₹305 crore from lenders and shareholders. And the profit is real: of every 100 rupees it reported over 11 years, about 95 arrived as cash. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being paid 6 days before it paid its own suppliers to waiting 40 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.
