Positives
As it is a relatively new company, it is having the latest and better technology available for research.
Face value is 10 rupees. So technically room available for stock splits.

The company is the largest manufacturer of 4MEP, T2E, NODG and HEEP products in the world by volume
Large promoter share holdings of 87%. That is BIG.
ROE of 38 and ROCE of 30
EBITDA margins are improving and are standing at 25%+ with 18% PAT margin.
Debt equity is well in control
Negatives:
Relatively new company in the chemical industry. Incorporated just in 2013 and Sales started only in 2018
PE ratio (103) is three times higher than the industry PE of 31.
As there is very huge promotor holding, there may be obvious possibility of diluting it in future in good times. One should be ready to accept this.
Debtors turnover ratio stands 4.5 (which is better than many big companies out there but has LOT to improve.
Recorded Negative Cashflow for the first time in the last fiscal year.
