On RSWM We have been recommending this stock right from Rs 108 levels and we had a modest target on the stock close to Rs 240-250 levels, the reason being that the company owns 20% into Bhilwara Energy.

On a marketcap of just Rs 450 crore, the company’s stake in Bhilwara Energy is valued at close to the Rs 400 crore mark because in 2007-2008 IFC picked up a 10.48% stake for close to Rs 200 crore. We feel this stock has still got some...
