He said that it is an advantage to the company as the metal prices are declining and metal is the raw material used in casting. Also, the government's Jal Jeevan mission is helping in increasing new order flows because of which the company’s income is expected to increase.

The company’s valuation is good as well at a 235-crore market cap. Price to book value is 0.5 times, 0.3 times is market cap to sales. It is a cash-rich company with Rs 9 share with a recent price of 25-30% is the cash value. In the last 5 years, the profit track record is at 23% CAGR and the growth is expected to continue.

According to Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi, the company’s strength is in water projects and the budget is also expected to focus on such projects. The company’s revenue is Rs 3,500 lakh and revenue visibility is great. It is a good investment pick. The short-term target should be Rs 50 to 60 and the 2-3 years target should be Rs 75 to 100. The financial performance will flourish after the merger.
