The company has reported a challenging financial performance for the third quarter of FY24-25, marked by a notable decline in key metrics. The company's ability to service its debt is under scrutiny, as indicated by a high Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.57 times, which raises concerns about its financial stability.
In terms of profitability, Grasim Industries has generated an average Return on Equity of 8.00%, suggesting limited returns for shareholders.
