According to analysts, the stock's main catalyst is anticipated to be a substantial capital investment over the next three years. This investment will be directed towards projects such as the development of Vande Bharat trains, freight wagons, electric locomotives, and more.
Recovery is also expected in private capital expenditure, primarily driven by the mining and industrial sectors. This resurgence in investment is likely to have a positive impact on the stock's performance, analysts said. It is predicted that exports will witness a growth trajectory after FY25E, aided by an increase in localisation efforts.
The company has outlined plans to allocate Rs 600 crore for the setting up of a greenfield manufacturing plant specifically dedicated to the production of cylindrical roller bearings and spherical roller bearings. These bearing types have a limited presence within the company's offerings and are primarily imported from other entities within the group for sale in India. The management anticipates that the new manufacturing plant will be operational by December 2024.
