In INDIA, people generally relate to stock market as “EASY MONEY” or “SATTA BAZAAR”. For them it’s purely a GAME or matter of sheer LUCK and nothing more than that. But seldom do they know, by following certain PRINCIPLES and taking INFORMED decision, this same platform has the power to take them from rags to riches. No doubt, it has a certain amount of RISK attached to it. But every business or investment has it. What more, the Finance Ministry has already made the long term capital gain as TAX FREE whereas the short term capital gain is taxed at merely 10%. On the economic front, India’s GDP is growing and is expected to grow at scorching pace of more than 8%. Unfortunately, even today our market is being ruled and dominated by FIRANGI’s money. But I can see, the day is not far when our general PUBLIC will change its perception and start putting MOST of their savings in equities as an ** Investment **.
Remember, "K N O W L E D G E" and "P A T I E N C E" are the key to success.

Assuming that company maintains its OPM of 7%, it may end FY08 with sales of more than 300 cr and NP of atleast 8.50 cr on a conservative basis. This means EPS of 18 Rs on current equity. At CMP, company is available fairly cheap at an enterprise value of 100 cr.

The present order book of the compony is around 150 cr and is expected to shoot up as company has bid for 350¬400 cr worth of tenders. Moreover its new power transformer plant at Kancheepuram with a capacity of 4000 MVA is expected to go on stream from Aug 2007. Meanwhile its Dry type transformer plant at Thirumazhisai with an installed capacity of 100 MVA is expected to commence operation shortly.
