As promised by her, Finance Minister delivered ‘a Budget like never before’ on February 1. And the Dalal Street responded with similar enthusiasm. The Budget was focused on growth to boost the economy. No hike in the direct taxes, which investors feared, focus on healthcare as well as insurance, and announcements related to banking were the highlights of a path-breaking Budget.
Experts give a thumbs up to the Budget as it will play a key role in pushing the economy back on the recovery path and boost corporate earnings. Investors should bet on specific stocks that are likely to benefit the most from the growth journey.
“The FY22 budget has turned out to be a landmark budget with the government meeting the sky-high expectations of equity markets and the general public. The focus of the government is clearly on spending to revive the economy without major changes in the taxation structure,” B Gopkumar, MD & CEO, Axis Securities told Moneycontrol.
“The government is doing quality spending with focus on infrastructure, healthcare, and key social programs. The fiscal deficit is pegged at 6.8% for FY22, which is clearly expansionary and will aid the economy significantly,” he said.
He further added that the proposals for the financial sector which include privatization of public banks and asset reconstruction company are also significant positives for the financial sector. Overall, the budget has checked most of the boxes and will help the economy.”
Not only largecaps, but mid & smallcap stocks also participated in the rally. NiftyBank touched a fresh record high above 34000 for the first time. Experts advise investors to stay with stocks in economy-lined sectors that are likely to gain the most from Budget proposals.
“The 5% thumps up given by the Sensex reflects the market’s resounding approval of the bold reform-growth-orientation of the budget. Like the 1991 Budget which initiated liberalization in India, this budget marks a clear turn to the right in economic policy in India,” Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services told Moneycontrol.
“The stage is set for India embracing privatization in right earnest. There are concerns regarding the high fiscal deficit. Also, implementation holds the key in achieving the targets,” he said.
Vijayakumar further added that investors should stay invested, particularly in sectors like financials especially private sector banking ( PSU banks will give trading opportunities) IT, pharma, autos, cement and segments of FMCG. Domestic cyclicals appear to be strong bets.
