1. At a Glance
Windsor Machines Ltd is a veteran in the plastic processing machinery game. While their machines mould plastic, their balance sheet has been trying to mould a comeback. Between promoter exits, preferential allotments, and a not-so-smooth acquisition, it’s a full-on soap opera in polypropylene.
