 Valuation call: We revise our price target to INR 2289 (5.2X FY27 EV/EBITDA)
 representing     an     upside    of    110%      from     CMP       INR     1092.
 Key business risk: Passive telecom infrastructure requires significant capital and
 continuous investment. Funding delays could hamper growth, while promoter
 uncertainty about fund infusion, resulting in equity being replaced by debt,
 remains a concern.

 By FY27, STL is expected to achieve a strong CAGR of 43% in its tower portfolio and 59.7% in co-locations, reaching
 13,157 towers and 19,735 tenancies, driven by 5G rollouts, government site expansions, and fiberization initiatives.
         •    BSNL's nationwide 4G rollout, with a planned transition to 5G, is set to drive over 2,000+ new tenancies for
              Suyog by FY26.
         •    Fiberization efforts are accelerating, with Suyog expanding its fiber network (5,500+ km currently) to
              support 5G backhaul and FTTH solutions.
         •    Slum site expansions and government contracts (over 1,000 tenancies on government sites) offer high-
              margin, low-cost growth opportunities.
 With strong tailwinds from 5G demand, fiber deployment, government-backed initiatives, and rural connectivity
 expansion, Suyog Telematics is well-positioned for continued growth in towers, co-locations, and next-gen telecom
 infrastructure.

 1.6                                                    and small cell deployments.

                        regulatory tailwinds, and strategic sustainability initiatives.
                             •    BSNL’s aggressive site additions will increase Suyog’s tenancies and revenue
                                  contribution from government contracts.
