One-liner. NALCO: aluminium upstream beneficiary of solar manufacturing scale-up.
Bull case for NALCO: continued capacity ramp at attractive unit economics, supportive policy (PLI / ALMM / RPO / open access), benign module + commodity cycle, healthy receivable conversion, and re-rating from current valuation as execution beats consensus.
Bear case for NALCO: module/tariff price crash, working-capital blowout from DISCOM receivables, leverage spiking past 4x net-debt/EBITDA, ALMM/PLI delays, Chinese dumping, and de-rating to historical median multiples on growth disappointment.
