Dude, is 10850 the EV or the Mcap? Power plants are highly leveraged, so not sure if thats the EV

Olaral.......means blah blah said...

Its Mcap, said 8% dilution for Rs 900 cr.....rough estimate of EV ll be 18200 (Mcap plus debt of 7370 (Rs 4.5cr per mw gives total asset value of 10530, debt - 70%)......

does this reconcile......
