Sabyasachi Majumdar, Senior Director, Care Ratings, says one of the beneficiaries of the new National Electricity Plan would be the transmission companies.There will be a lot of projects for them to take up. But apart from that, the beneficiaries will be the suppliers to the transmission network, which will basically be the equipment manufacturers, people who make the lines, conductors, cables, transformation equipment, switchyards, and switchgears, plus the EPC contractors who are going to string up all these lines and set up all these capacities. So, it will have a broad-based impact across the large segment of the electrical engineering industry. Is the National Electricity Plan really a fresh announcement coming in or is this something that was budgeted for and talked about already and you guys were factoring it in the capex lined up for the coming years? Sabyasachi Majumdar: The power demand has been fairly buoyant after the recovery from COVID and it has been growing at a high single digit. Basically, it can be considered a continuation of the current trend. Right now, peak demand is somewhere around 250 gigawatt and the government expects it to go up to about 458 gigawatt up to 2032, which basically represents CAGR of about 7% to 8% per annum, which is more or less in line with what we have been seeing in the past. So, it is pretty much based on that.

«Today, you just present a good story, people are willing to buy. And some of the recent IPOs are doubling just the day after listing are adding to this frenzy. But it is the institutional segment, the merchant bankers who need to be disciplined, who need to not use everything as a revenue earning opportunity,» says Sunil Subramaniam, Market Expert. Am I right in saying when I say that right now merchant bankers who are taking some of the SME IPOs public, they are not doing their fiduciary duty. They are like the SEBI, whole-time director Mr Bhatia said that they are prescribing steroids when paracetamol can do the work? Sunil Subramaniam: I think absolutely because if you look at it, the situation is that you have a gullible investing public. You look at the stories around the F&O story, the margin trading story, the Demat account, people just buying stocks. So, there is what is called in Hindi, the hawa. So, in this place, all it needs is a good story for people to buy it. And it has gone to such an extent that I got a WhatsApp forward saying, somebody has got 10 tickets to the Coldplay concert and wants to launch an IPO. Fin influencers are also a part of this.

Rajat Sharma, Founder & CEO, Sana Securities, says stick to largecaps, stick to stocks where you still see value, be prepared to take a 10-15% dip because even if it happens, it is going to bounce back really sharply. Further, Sharma says he likes FMCG stocks like ITC, Britannia, and Dabur where he sees a lot of value. Earlier, he used to find private banks really expensive. But right now, he thinks Axis Bank and HDFC Bank make a very compelling case to buy. What are you making of the market right now, given the global construct – not just the Fed rate cut, but the measures from China as well earlier this morning and now our stint with Peak 26,000 and then straight away an 80-point fall from there? Rajat Sharma: Compared to the way markets have gone up, 80-100 points move is just a blip. These days when I talk to clients and when I invest money, I tell them upfront that 10% to 15% correction from here should not bother you and if it does, then wait before you get into the markets because since April, the markets have run up quite aggressively.
