'One Of The Finest ER&D Plays'

"Tata Tech is one of the finest ER&D plays catering to complete product value chain in automotive and now focusing on defence, aerospace, and energy," said Gurmeet Chadha, managing partner and chief investment officer, Complete Circle Wealth Solutions LLP.

"At 150% plus premium, it trades at over 70 times earnings and bridges valuation gap with KPIT and Elxsi... I would hope to get better valuations in coming weeks/months to build a long-term position in my portfolio."

'Long-Term Investors Can Remain Invested'
