- −20.25% below its 52-week high despite a positive 1-year return of 13.78%.

Open questions
- ?Does the rising debt trend align with funding for the newly approved Rs 300 crore capex, or does it reflect broader borrowing beyond this project?
- ?What is driving the divergence between the roughly flat 5-year revenue CAGR (-0.6%) and the much stronger 45.9% 5-year earnings CAGR - margin expansion, cost efficiency, or one-off items?
- ?Why has the stock moved below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages over the past 3 months even as the 1-year return and recent news sentiment stay positive?
- ?What might explain the investor exits named in the July 10 headline, and do they reflect stock-specific or broader sector positioning?
