“The outlook for the long term would be re-rated post the change in status and likely to benefit from the Government Infra capital infrastructure (capex) push. Investors if they are holding should think of booking profits as the stock has rallied more than 60% in the last two weeks," added Tapse.

“Though the valuations are on the higher side, RVNL is entering the next leg of growth through diversification and faster project execution. We believe that the company should be looked at as a multi-year growth story and we recommend holding it for the long-term period. Given the order booking pipeline of Indian Railways for the next 7-8 years, we believe that the order inflow could sustain RVNL," added Bolinjkar.
