The report added, "A technical view of the recent breakout of Indian markets to new highs is that of a signal that the long-term uptrend off the 2003 low is resuming.
This implies an upside target for the BSE Sensex of 39,707 (+75 per cent) through the next 12 to 24 months," CLSA said in its India strategy report authored by analysts Mahesh Nandurkar, Laurence Balanco and Abhinav Sinha.
At current levels (21,483-22,023), however, the Sensex could see a temporary dip of three-five per cent, an attractive buying opportunity.”

On a fundamental basis, too, the brokerage expects Indian markets to do well. It expects the Sensex to give compounded annual returns of about 15 per cent through the next two years.

The report said, "The technical view is negative on exporters Dr Reddy's, TCS and Wipro. We note if a domestic cyclical recovery were to play out as expected through the next couple of years, cyclicals will outperform exporters."
