With policy related issues getting over and the Indus tower IPO happening, the company would see a rerating in its stock which is currently trading at a significant discount to its intrinsic value. So investors with at least 2 years horizon can enter the stock with a possible appreciation of more than 60-70 %.
The stock is up 17% since InvestorZclub recommended it at Rs. 70 on 7th June 2011.

The stock has crossed 180 levels as on 11th October 2013, nearly 160% from the recommended price, in 2.3 years. The majority of re-rating as expected seems to be done for the moment and the stock could consolidate for some time. Since the valuation is no longer that attractive, people who are into this stock can choose to exit the stock in tranches at every rise.
