The price increase in the important market like Kerala would boost the realizations and profitability of the company over the next few quarters. We maintain our FY13E and FY14E numbers for the company. At a CMP of Rs 64, the stock trades at 12.1x and 8.9x FY13E and FY14E EPS. We believe that the current valuations are attractive and the stock may see upside on account of growth in profitability and re-rating in the valuations over the next 3-4 quarters. We reiterate our BUY rating on the stock with the price objective retained at Rs 75.
