Thanks @PE_Ratio. It clears many doubts I had on these reports.
Thanks @Akshaykumar.
Hereâs a MoneyControl article. Their CY19 EPS projection is 44.2, somewhat similar to what I calculated. So Rain is currently trading at a multiple of 8.6x CY19 earnings.

I think quarterly eps of Rs11 for CY18 is a bit of a stretch. Rs9-10 is more likely. Couple of factors: 1. Company mentioned on the call that effective tax rate will only reduce by 2-3% from 36% level of 2017 in spite of the large reduction in the US corporate tax rate. 2. It doesnât appear that cpc spread over gpc will expand any further. Based on these factors, I think CY18 eps could track between Rs36 and 40. Next year (CY19) the Vizag calciner will start up along with the hydrogenated resin project. So, we could see eps head into low 40s assuming the cpc/gpc spread is maintained. I also think chemicals segment earnings will remain at current levels because of high cost of coal tar and competition from petroleum-based chemical substitutes limiting product price increases. So, the earnings growth outside carbon products will be limited to a recovery in cement.
The big question is what should the market pay for 40+ CY19 eps? 9-10x may be reasonable under a peak scenario but if the cycle extends beyond 2019, it should be willing to pay quite a bit more. Also, if the company pays down $150m of the term loan debt with free cash flow that should add almost Rs 30 to the stock. I think the market currently is discounting a decline from current earnings. What is not being factored in is an extension of these levels into 2019 and possibly 2020

y a PE of just 10? shouldnt it be closer to 15-20?
PE may not be be right way to value Rain. It has Cement division running at 50% utilization levels. It should be valued at $80-90/tonne on a replacement cost basis. Carbon Products and Chemicals should be valued on a EV/EBITDA basis.

One should also take into account the impact of raising price of crude while forecasting the EPS.
Dolly Khanna seems to have added 317400 shares as per latest shareholding taking her previous holding of 2.57% to 2.66% now.

BNP Paribas Arbritrage also bought 36 lakhs shares of Rain Industries in Mar 2018.

Arbitrage funds do not base their trades on sentiments/potential of the stock. They play upon volatility. Hence should not be counted.

Well documented details. Great effort.
I am still looking for an answer. What if Indian Govt. put restrictions on production of CPC?
How much percentage of CPC produced in India and exported ?
Dolly Khanna increased her holdings from 86,30,115 (2.57 %) to 89,47,515 (2.66 %).
Pabrai Investment Funds hold 2,90,12,715 (8.62 %)
Having said that, one should keep track on quarterly basis. You never know when the tide will turn in different way.

500 crore expansion project by Rutgers, Germany. Capex to start from May 2018 (when the license is available) and production to start from June 2019.
No official announcement from RAIN yet. It appeared as an article in German newspapers.
Three products that are going to be produced
- Carbores Novares C10, a liquid distillate from tars, delivered as industrial waste here and from which mainly car tires are made.
- Advanced Carbon Material" for the production of lithium-ion batteries, which are in high demand in the digital age.
- White, pollutant-free resin.
The old facilities that were no longer needed in the factory are demolished and this new plan is going to be executed in that same place.
This looks huge. We should get more info from the Q1 con call.

Alcoa is the one of the major client of Rain.
