In the last 10 years, the Indian stock market has delivered higher returns than any other stock market. Large-cap stocks have yielded 23% returns, and mid-cap stocks have returned 58% in the last year alone. In 2024, the Indian stock market reached a new high. With parliamentary elections due this year, the election results will play a significant role in determining the market's direction.
Investec has stated that there is a 90% chance that the Indian stock market will experience a correction of about 10% from the 2024 peak. However, Investec believes that an immediate decline is unlikely as the market valuation is not excessively high.
Investec recommends investing in the industrial, automobile, financial, and pharmaceutical sectors. The company has advised purchasing shares of ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bajaj Auto, and Cipla in the large-cap segment. In the mid-cap and small-cap segments, InvestTech recommends investing in Delhivery, Equitas Small Finance Bank, Angel One, Policy Bazaar, Exide, and Petronet.
