This has impacted demand for milk, chicken, and eggs. While recovery in the segment has been marginally postponed, it is expected to deliver a better performance v/s FY21 on a low base. The brokerage expects a 39% revenue CAGR over FY21–23. It values the stock on an SoTP basis to arrive at TP of INR758.
