ICICI Securities, in the earnings review note, says, "Management is aiming at GBP2bn (2 billion pounds) of FCF for JLR in FY24, which we believe is doable, even after factoring the slight increase in capex outlook to GBP3bn per annum from FY24. Without material changes to our volume and margin estimates, we maintain BUY on TTMT with a revised DCF-based target price of Rs 620 (earlier Rs608), implying ~10x FY25 India business and 2.5x JLR EV/EBITDA."
