Hello Chinmay,
Looks like a Value buy but the capacity expansion plans looks dim for next 3 to 5years
If the volume don't grow will it become a value trap?

Hi Karthik Raja,
The value investor does not think of event to unlock value. It only checks if current price is cheaper than intrinsic value. Both Narmada and International Travel are available at throwaway prices.
