Thanks for the update Rajesh. It was really useful in making up my mind. How much upside do you see in nectar IPO.
Also would be grateful if you can give your views on Era cons. IPO. I am a little doubtful about this.

Why didn't you post views on Jindal Poly IPO!?
I invested in it. But, the stock is below the upper band price today!
Looks like it is going the PNB way.
Please give me your views on this and the way to reduce the loss.....
