Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company has been raising fresh capital from the market with rising issue prices. Since October 20 this is the third primary offer from the company. Though the RI is at a discount of around 39% to its last traded price, well-informed investors may consider parking funds as its financial performance is not matching the asking price.
