Buy Apollo Tyres on declines: Amit Gupta

Gupta told CNBC-TV18, " Apollo Tyres has consolidated a lot after the last quarterly results. There was news that the promoters possibly may dilute some stake, so some volumes were seen in the last quarter around Rs 90 levels. It came down till Rs 79. In this upmove we have seen almost 50 percent of the short positions have been closed. So my sense is it is going to move towards Rs 98, it will take out Rs 90 very soon and hence on declines it is a buy."
