Will that give confidence to the traders or they may take this information negatively of their latest foray?
Sandip Sabharwal: You’ve analysed the whole enterprise fairly properly. So, they’re in a excessive margin phase the place they’ve cheap market share and the place entry boundaries are excessive. They’re getting into right into a phase the place there are enormous variety of entrenched gamers, making a model itself will take a very long time. Getting entry into OEMs will probably be more durable after which alternative market additionally will probably be robust for them and it’ll require quite a lot of branding workouts and margins clearly will probably be a lot decrease. So, on stability, it’s a damaging set off within the close to time period for the valuations of the corporate in addition to outlook.
Of late, have you ever been liking the OMCs counter as a result of shares like BPCL, HPCL, they’re on the transfer.
Sandip Sabharwal: OMCs have had a transfer. Now, if the crude oil costs begin transferring up or there’s any gasoline value minimize that may very well be a damaging set off. So, I might suppose that at this level of time the bullishness is constructed into the OMC shares.
