We revise our FY10E EPS to Rs16.8 (from Rs17.6 earlier)and introduce FY11E EPS at Rs 20/share. We revise our SOTP based target price to Rs 325/ share based on 15x FY11E EPS of Rs20 and value of holding in GTL Infra at Rs50/ share. Domestic order deferrals and higher working capital cycle remain concerns on the growthand cash flows of the company.The downside to the stock price could be limited due to the likely large order wins from BSNL tender.We maintain a hold rating on it.
