India's structural demand for transmission capacity will drive 12 per cent earnings growth for FY11-14.

Morgan Stanley has initiated coverage on Power Grid Corporation of India (PFC) stock with an ‘overweight’ rating and a target price of 124 rupees because it believes that company’s government-regulated model offers earnings visibility,and that India’s structural demand for transmission capacity will drive 12 per cent earnings growth for FY11-14.
