The best strategy probably is to stay invested and hold on to these names, wait for opportunities for dips to add more. Pugalia does not see any deep value names, but probably some of the government owned companies, like Bharat Electronics on a relative scale given the kind of earnings growth momentum and visibility that they have, look much more attractive on valuations, trading at sub-30 times one year forward.

But if it does, what happens then? How are you analysing the overall construct right now? Aveek Mitra: Last year, we generated excellent returns till March 2024. So, we are a bit cautious and we have not put in new money for the last one or two months except bits and pieces here and there and raised the cash a little bit.
