Elaborating upon the long-term perspective of the IRCTC shares Shrikant Chouhan, Senior VP — Equity Research at Kotak Securities said, "For those stock market investors who are looking for fresh buying in the IRCTC counter, I would suggest them to invest 25 per cent of their surplus amount in the IRCTC shares and keep on adding after every 5-10 per cent dip from onwards."

Chouhan said that in the next five years, the IRCTC share price will be at least double its price at the Indian indices, where it has been listed. Asked about the reason for such a cautious approach in the IRCTC shares, Chouhan said, "The conviction level in the counter is very high hence, it is bound to witness some profit-booking. But, at the same time, IRCTC's business is very strong. Hence. I am suggesting stock market investors invest in IRCTC counter in a calibrated manner."
