The company's second quarter results were quite impressive. It announced a 41 percent increase in its net profit to Rs.651 crore and Rs.1,354 crore in first six months compared to the Rs.1,006 crore in 2009. The annualized EPS for the current year works out to Rs.6 and the FPO price of  85-90 makes the company available at 15 P/E, which is reasonably good.
