Monopoly Stocks in India

What exactly does a monopoly mean? A monopoly comes into being when only one seller or an enterprise is engaged in the business of any specific product or a commodity.

In a monopoly, there is no competition whatsoever. With the absence of intense competition in an industry, a company is poised to do better and generate profits with strong cash flows.

Lower Competition = Higher Profits

In India, when you think of monopoly stocks, certainly IRCTC (railway ticketing and catering), CDSL (only listed depository), CAMS (largest registrar and transfer agent for mutual funds) and Indian Energy Exchange (sole listed power exchange) will be the first ones that come to mind.

However, it's not easy to find stocks with these characteristics because high profitability always attracts new players.

While much has been said about investing in monopoly stocks, you must investigate if the company can remain profitable for the future.
