Don't write off Modi stocks: More than half are back in full throttle, budget may bring more tailwinds for them
It has been a sort of tradition that the last full budget of any government and also the interim government is focussed on garnering votes and generally fiscal prudence is kept aside. But in the case of the Modi government, both in the last full budget presented in 2023 and interim budget presented in 2024, fiscal prudence was maintained. Given that government revenues are on strong footing, even if the government announces some measure which on face of it might look to be politically correct. There is little chance that fiscal prudence would be kept aside and that is what matters in the end to the street. So, there is a possibility that Modi stocks, which have been the star performers in the first five months of 2024, will be back in the limelight. Don't write them off. More than half of them are already higher than what there was before the election results came in. The policy push may continue for lots of sectors which have been the focus area of this government.

Forgot Modi stocks? Numbers indicate don't write them off. 26 are already back. Budget tailwinds may bring more of them back to limelight again
Just before the election results were announced, some domestic and foreign brokerages came out with a report about a set of stocks which were called Modi stocks. The number varied from 50 to 55 stocks. The reason why they were called modi stocks was the fact that these stocks were from sectors which were expected to get renewed policy push once the third term of the Modi government started. This list had stocks which would power data centers, which is essentially an AI play to green energy stock to PSU stocks from sectors which were getting strong policy push. But then political arithmetic turned different and everybody forgot about them. One month later, if one looks at them, it is clear that while the term “ Modi stocks” might be off the headline, in terms of performance, the picture is very different from what most have been thinking. It is far better and there is a high probability that it might get better.
