SBI Card enjoys fancy due to parent SBI's credentials. Being a second-largest plastic money player in a growing economy like India and the first mover in the segment to get listed, it may continue to generate high interest going forward. Although the issue appears fully priced, investors may consider investment for short to long term rewards.
