In yesterday’s article I talked of the Suzlon crash. Suzlon is in the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) process. This article will be helpful for you to understand how the CDR process works in India.

Godrej Consumer Products has clocked high growth. The stock has gone up around 5.6 times in the last 5 years. Here is an interview of Adi Godrej, where he talks about the business.

I really liked the title. This is what an investor should be focusing on in a business. I can’t say the same about the high P/E ratio of around 32 times. Most FMCG stocks are going at sky-high valuations.
