Gravita India Limited is a recycling company based in India. It collects used materials — mainly lead, aluminium, and plastic — and processes them into reusable raw materials that manufacturers can buy. Its main customers are battery makers, cable producers, and other industrial companies that need recycled metals instead of freshly mined ones.

The company makes money by buying scrap, processing it in its recycling plants, and selling the refined output at a higher price. Gravita operates across India and has expanded into Africa, Asia, and other emerging markets, giving it a broad geographic footprint that few Indian recyclers can match. Its competitive edge comes from its multi-metal recycling capability and established collection networks, which are hard to replicate quickly. The key growth driver is rising global demand for recycled materials as industries face pressure to reduce waste and cut costs, though the business is exposed to fluctuating scrap prices and metal commodity cycles, which can squeeze margins unpredictably.

Growth + cash flow

Gravita India Limited is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 16%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
