The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
Record EBITDA and a ₹2 trillion market-cap milestone may already be reflected in the valuation, limiting upside unless earnings growth accelerates. Consolidated results can mask uneven performance across cement, chemicals, financial services and new consumer-facing businesses; capital-intensive expansion, including ₹17,200 crore in renewables, could depress free cash flow and returns if execution, demand or power-price assumptions disappoint.
