Prashant Prabhakaran of YES Securities told CNBC-TV18, "From our side I think the marketing companies were a buy from 2015 onwards. However, for the last few quarters we had stayed away from giving recommendations in the sector. We are more comfortable in looking for a combined play of both refining, distribution as well as various other business put together."
He further added, "Reliance Industries comes into our pack which is buy from our side for a long term period not just because of their core business of refining but also the fact that over a period of time in the next 4 or 5 years you will also see the telecom story unfolding for them. Though it doesn’t look like that they will make money in the near run but it is a long term story to be played out in the future."
