  I. Wacc The primary variation between Bloomberg's WACC and a manually calculated WACC is in the source of data and methodology applied. Bloomberg's WACC uses real-time market conditions for factors such as cost of equity, based on current market beta, interest rates, and volatility, and adjusts for inflation and currency risks as well as market yields for debt and preferred stock. In addition, Bloomberg uses debt and equity market values to ensure that WACC is updated with all the most recent information and forecasts, capital structure adjustments and market trends.

This may make the cost of debt reflect the historical borrowing costs taken from the financial statements, and the risk-free rate may be used as a static value obtained from previous bond yields.

  I. Economic Value Added(EVA) 2023 EVA : INR 1,789.24 crores 2024 EVA: INR 16,537.47 crores Interpretation: Significant EVA Growth: The increase in EVA from INR 1,789.24 crores in 2023 to INR 16,537.47 crores in 2024 indicates a substantial improvement in the company's ability to generate profits above its cost of capital.

Efficient Use of Capital: Although the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) has risen slightly from 11.09% in 2023 to 11.61% in 2024, the significant increase in NOPAT more than offsets this. This shows that the company uses capital more efficiently, generating returns well above the capital cost. Balance...
