Valuations
Looking at their growth currently and opportunity size in coming years, Stock is trading at fair value. Once the capacity comes online and if company executes the order well , it might look undervalued intermittently
Risks
Exposure to risks relating to fluctuation in raw material prices and intense competition: The key inputs include steel and related products. While the IR projects generally have a long execution period and are covered by a price-variation clause to a large extent, private sector orders are generally fixed in nature.
Cash flows poses a big risk due to intensive working capital operations
Valuations are subjective but definitely its not hugely undervalued in short term
Most orders are from Railways and have this dependency in business, though company is trying to diversify

Conclusion
If you have understood the triggers and industries it cater to + RISKS which can materialize and have patience then think of buying this company in every dip, market offers, else Ignore the stock
