 Recommendation:    

It is the fifth-largest cement company in India and the largest in East India in terms of capacity. As of December 31, 2020, its cement production capacity constituted approximately 4.2 per cent of the total cement capacity in India, 17 per cent in East India & 5 per cent in North India while it is one of the leading ready-mix concrete manufacturers in India. It is further planning to upgrade its capacities with the capital received, which will be beneficial for the company, going forward. The company has eight cement plants located in East India and three in North India. Three of its plants in East India are integrated units and five are grinding units. The company is focussing on consultancy business and spreading awareness about carbon neutrality, increase the use of technology to improve operational efficiency, and expanding its customer base. The company has a history of timely payments and delivery along with consistent quality assurance. It has multiple business verticals under one roof. With a broad customer base and qualified management team, the company has strong relationships with its clients. It is the fastest-growing cement company in terms of capacity addition on percentage terms with installed capacity doubling over the last five years post the acquisition of NU Vista. Owing to the above reasons, we recommend investing in the company’s IPO for the long term.
