The move also caught the attention of brokerages. Morgan Stanley maintained its “equal weight” rating for the stock with a price target of ₹555. The brokerage said that the move of the regulator was a positive development and it will be closely watching the NPCI’s response. The analysts added that approval from NPCI will ensure quick migration of customers and less disruption.
