The valuation appears attractive when compared to its listed peers, which generally trade at much higher P/E multiples despite similar or lower return metrics. Market sentiment is exceptionally strong, evidenced by significant oversubscription across all investor categories and a healthy GMP, indicating robust demand. The company operates in a high-growth sector with favorable government initiatives. However, investors should be mindful of the high debt levels, significant customer and supplier concentration risks, and a recent dip in revenue in FY26. Despite these risks, the overall positive factors, especially the valuation and market demand, outweigh the negatives, leading to a 'Strong Apply' recommendation.
