Analysts at Antique shared a 'buy' rating on the counter in an earlier note, with a target price of Rs 1,013 apiece.
"While Titagarh is India's undisputed leader in the wagon manufacturing space, now it is also among India's very few integrated manufacturers of passenger rail systems. We believe the company has created a manufacturing set-up, which is difficult to replicate, and has the capacity to grow its turnover to Rs 90,000-10,000 crore over the next five years," the brokerage firm added.
