With a focus on growth projects, lower net debt levels, stronger return ratios, and, last but not least, significant cost savings, the company's financial and operational performance for FY21 suggests that it generated good free cash flow. Along with the obvious improvement in Indian markets, its European facilities (which were previously viewed as a problem child) are likely to perform better, particularly in terms of free cash flow generation.
