Elections are right around the corner and investors are already projecting the current governing party could come back to power for the next term.
During the previous two terms of the Modi-led government, India witnessed a MASSIVE surge in capex, which boosted the Indian economy along with investor sentiment.
Many companies have not only benefitted from this capex cycle but also the policies drafted by the government towards making India a manufacturing hub.
Although several largecap companies could possibly gain if Modi were to be re-elected, our research indicates these five largecap companies could emerge as primary beneficiaries.
