However, the company’s aggressive expansion plan for increasing its pellet capacity from 61,543 pellets in FY2014 to 85,000 pellets in FY2015 and further to 100,000 pellets by FY2016 is likely to boost the operating performance of the company over the next two years. Further, the company’s presence in a niche segment with a strong management pedigree improves its growth prospects. We recommend subscribe", says Sharekhan research report.
