Punj Lloyd a good pick: Vijay

Portfolio Manager, PN Vijay is of the view that Punj Lloyd is a good pick with one year perspective.

Vijay told CNBC-TV18, "The stock I will be very comfortable with is Larsen & Toubro. I often say L&T and State Bank of India represent the Indian nation. If you saw L&T Q2’s result and I was looking at it with great apprehension to see what that bellwether would do. Showed a remarkable increase in the order book and a small blip in EBITDA, I think less than a percent, which is because of high commodity prices. I think they are well positioned; they have fallen like a pack of cards like everybody else and so in infrastructure I would choose L&T as a good pick."

He further added, "Punj Lloyd is in a hi-tech construction business and they have grown very well. They have some balance sheet related problem, I think they have got over them and again that share has fallen about 60-70% from its January highs. So Punj Lloyd would be an excellent pick with one-year perspective."
