I had researched ICSA some time back and my biggest concern was, it's growth for the last few quarters was entirely due to ONE single order of 630 cr in Sudan.
I recognized the same risk- and related to the same if the growth (in new customer acquisitions, revenue, earnings and margins) sustainable?
Reminds me of what WB had to say on the subject 'The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.'
In this case it may well be that the company is poised to benefit from the demand but we need to collect more data on the management and business model to build strong conviction.

Reliance Energy arm Sonata Investments has stake in ICSA since May 2005.

Basantji, would be great to hear your views on this company.
The market is a place where people with money meet people with experience.
The people with experience get the money while people with money get experience!
