MY TAKE
India is one of the most power deficit countries in the world. Looking at the demography of India and the overall growth prospects of the country, the demand for power will be immense and will grow for at least the next one decade. Despite this reality, the power sector has been plagued by problems since last 2 - 4 years. Everything that could have gone wrong, has went wrong. Coal problems, discom problems, gas problems, governance issues, etc etc. The worst seems to be over. Speed in the sector reforms and decision making over the last few months will continue for the next 1 - 2 years.  

Given this backdrop, Indiabulls power is well placed to grow its revenues and profitability over the next 4 - 8 quarters. The stock is available at a throwaway price. A 5400 MW power producer at around 2000 crores; a steal. The future can only be better. This is almost like a small plant which has the right prospects and environment to grow up to become a large tree.   

A strong potential multibagger and future dividend story!!

Disclosure: I first bought Indiabulls Power around 14 months ago, and have been consistently adding to my holding since then.
