The promoters are working on to turn the company around in few quarters, which can be seen in their efforts of cost cutting, reducing debts and selling online through e-commerce. With the price of crude stabilizing near 50$ the company will have a stable pricing for raw material.

The company should begin to report good numbers going forward and command good PE ratio. Investors should study this HIDDEN GEM for long term growth. (The company is also listed in NSE so the quarterly and yearly price band does not apply.)
