Roto is on an expansion and modernization programme, and for this purpose is setting up an integrated R and production facility at its 5 Acre plot in Greater Noida Ecotech XII Sector. During last FY, it has received big orders from Larsen and Toubro and Blue Waters Australia against stiff international competition.This speaks volumes about the quality of the new generation pumps manufactured by Roto.

The share is available at P/E of less than 5, and appears to be a good buy at CMP of Rs. 45.
