Power stocks: Stay with the re-rated ones in Modi 2.0 for next round in 3.0, just hedge a bit, 5 stocks with upside potential of upto 23%
In the last ten years there have been many sectors which have come out of their troubled past, but the power sector probably stands out for multiple reasons. First, moving out of trouble not only meant that power companies were able to stand on their own feet, but also a big amount of NPA which the banks were saddled with was due to power companies being in the red. So, the health of the power sector, especially the private companies, has seen an improvement. Because there are a large number of PSUs in the power sector, due to policy push and changes in the policy a number of them have seen better performance. Now because any sector where the government and its policies have played an important role in terms of revival, the continuation of the policy framework becomes critical for the sector. So in such a sector, shareholders should hedge before the election results so that their decisions are not impacted by the narrative that FPI are selling due to polls.
