The Group’s order backlog stands at Rs.18,561 crores.  Punj Lloyd Ltd's losses narrowed to Rs.181.58 crore in the fourth quarter of FY17. The company had posted a loss of Rs.396.15 crore for the year-ago. The order backlog is the value of unexecuted orders on March 31, 2017 plus new orders received after that date. 
With the government approval for a new strategic partnership policy in the defence sector, domestic manufacturers like Punj Lloyd Ltd, are hopeful of exploring huge order book (~Rs.2 lakh crore over the next 10 years) opportunities
Also, despite debt, Punj Lloyd's reputation of completing projects with compete quality control has remained intact, according to Industry watchers and analysts. Though the going is tough, the analysts do expect a revival in Punj Lloyd’s fortunes in the not-too-distant future.

2. Those who have invested in Gammon India Ltd (Rs.9.30) can think of switching to Punj Lloyd Ltd, because the scrip is not going anywhere during the last few days.

3. Those of you who have not exited RCom Ltd (Rs.18.30) till now, should keep the last SL as Rs.17.50.I however, find no hope of the stock price revival till August - September or in the short term unless some form of miracle happens. So, best option is to exit RCom and look for greener pastures, elsewhere.
