The stock ended positively today despite a market rout. Jain, who is Assistant Vice President - Lead Derivative and Technical Research at Centrum Broking said that there has been a base formation around levels of Rs 3200 and hence can be considered as a stop loss.

Nestle India: Avoid| LTP: Rs 18,525| Target: Rs 17600| Stop Loss: Rs 19000| Downside 5%
