🪟 Long-Term Investment Analysis: Asahi India Glass Ltd. (ASAHIINDIA)

Asahi India is a leading player in automotive and architectural glass, benefiting from demand in both real estate and mobility sectors. However, its valuation is extremely stretched, and recent earnings contraction raises red flags for long-term investors. While it may suit short-term momentum traders, long-term accumulation requires caution.
