IT has a strong visibility with good presence in switch, wires and cable segments.  

"It has order book of Rs 859 crore.  Also, as many as 25 crore smart meters are to be installed in India under power reforms in the next few years, this will also help this share going forward in the New Year. Besides, around Rs 5,000 crore of tender are set to be floated in the next few months in this space too. This segment is going to witness an explosive growth in near future," said Baliga, adding that one can buy this share for the target of Rs 100 in 12 months' time.
