Competitive Landscape
Competitors include other large Indian conglomerate holding companies and Core Investment Companies (CICs).
Competitive Moat
The moat is based on long-term, low-cost entry into high-growth Bajaj Group companies; this is highly sustainable as the company holds these assets as a Core Investment Company with no intention to sell.
