The price target would be in the range of Rs 1,100-1,150 in a period of 6-9 months.”

The credit paid out by scheduled commercial banks climbed up 23.2% to Rs 3,608.88 billion on yearly basis as on Jul. 27, 2007, which is under the growth of aggregate deposits of 25.7%.

Sensex lost 207.83 points at 15100.15, while the Nifty ended 58.90 points down at 4403.20.
