Intrinsic value · DCF: N/A — ML model predicts severe Δ FCF compression (h1=-27.5%, h2=-29.4%, h3=-34.7% of mktcap), driving projected FCF negative by year 3 despite healthy current FCF. Treating as forecast outlier rather than reporting a misleading ₹0 valuation. Use the Strategy Fit and ML sections instead.
