i have met managment twice and have visited plants too. but my personal opinion is that its like job work. they are completly depends on TATA , they just do job work and get fixed return on works done. TATA branded the product and selling . naturally as they spend on marketing and branding they get fat margin and not ahlada.
also at that time other competitor were being finalised with tata in north region .but i had
stopped tracking . also if i remember the all the plants they dont own . some were on rent.
i didnt find anything that exciting in company .

this is my personal view. i have not invested nor tracking
