Abhijit Paul, founder of Alphative Advisors told CNBC-TV18, "Larsen and Toubro (L&T) is one pocket of strength in the day's trade so far. If it manages to stay above that Rs 1,030 mark then there is a high possibility that it can extend further up and in that case the target comes close to Rs 1,070-1,080 and for such a short-term trade one should use a stoploss close to Rs 1,000."
At 13:37 hrs Larsen and Toubro was quoting at Rs 1,020.10, up Rs 8.80, or 0.87 percent. It has touched an intraday high of Rs 1,028 and an intraday low of Rs 1,008.60.
