Buy NTPC around Rs 156-157, says Baliga

Baliga told CNBC-TV18, “NTPC numbers were slightly better than expectation. It has moved again recently well from those Rs 151-152 levels to Rs 165 after the correction."

"One should look at slightly lower levels to pick it up closer to Rs 156-157 because over the next year-year and a half I see levels of about Rs 220-230 for that stock."
