🔴 Bearish Analyst Opinions

1. Merchant Power Price Volatility

A portion of earnings depends on merchant power prices, which can fluctuate significantly.

2. Coal Price Risk

Higher domestic or imported coal prices can reduce margins if costs cannot be passed through.

3. Regulatory Risk

Changes in environmental regulations, tariffs, or government policies may affect future profitability.

4. High Capital Expenditure

Capacity expansion requires significant investment, which can increase execution and financing risks.

5. Valuation Concerns

Although the overall analyst consensus is Buy, some brokerages have more conservative targets because the stock has already rallied strongly and expectations are high. Current consensus 12-month targets are around ₹230–₹242, indicating analysts see more modest near-term upside than some long-term investors expect.
