Buy HDFC, expect it to touch Rs 814: Vayalar

Manoj Murlidharan Vayalar of IIFL told CNBC-TV18, "There is a lot of sector rotation which might happen in the index. Needless to say, the weightage of HDFC and even the banking space is expected to go to 22 percent from 19 percent. At Rs 770, HDFC becomes an excellent buy and one may keep a stoploss of Rs 750 with a target of Rs 814."
