The asset base for the company was 4050 Crore Rs in 2019 which has increased to 5400 Crore Rs in 2021. This says that the company attained growth of almost 28% in assets in 2 years. This is attracted to the revenue generation of 3000 Crore in 2019 and almost 3900 Crore Rs in 2021. Given the COVID period such a revenue is not very satisfactory. However the company is consistent with the revenue generation.
Keeping aside the COVID growth of revenues, the company has made major progress in generation of profits, The profits improved by almost 97% in 2 years. The profits in 2019 were 462 Crore Rs and they were 849 Crore Rs in 2021. Thus one can opt for the company but on the other hand should be selective with it. If better options are available then one can skip this one out.

CONS
- Most of the company’s revenue is based on a single location (Hyderabad).
