Stocks with a 3- to 5-year perspective. 7 stocks where the budget continues to provide tailwinds by way of policy support
Defence, railways, power. The common thread running through these sectors is that revival came only after the government brought about policy changes that prioritised them. However, unlike, for instance, power, where government support resulted in a relatively quick turnaround, there are some sectors where such support would be needed for a longer time. The fact that the government has, for the third year in a row, made an effort in the budget clearly shows its intent.

Budget 2026, 2031 & beyond: 13 stocks from 3 sectors not in such good shape at this time. Will the budget help turn them around?
There are many sectors that are dependent on government policies or spending. How does the government plan to deal with them? For example, when this government came to power, infrastructure was its focus. So, roads and power were the sectors taken up first, with more clarity on policy, removal of hurdles, and fresh fund allocations. Then it was railways, and along with it, although quietly, defence. Now, there are other sectors the government has been working on. And a hint of that has only come in the last couple of budgets.

Shrimp & fisheries stocks: Out of troubled waters? It’s both No and Yes. 4 stocks to keep an eye on, but for the right reason
The European Union has green-lighted exports from 102 additional Indian marine establishments. Result: All stocks related to aquaculture and fisheries have seen a bump up. Now, this is not the first time that these stocks have moved up in unison. In the past two years, there have been a couple of times when this has happened.

So, the EU decision is surely a welcome one. But does it mean that all the sector’s troubles are over? Probably not. Interestingly, though, this development probably signals something else.

With Odisha and Andhra being governed by NDA 3.0, will Aquaculture, a sector dominated by small caps and troubles, see a turnaround?
When looking at any sector, it is good to know the history of that sector, it helps in bringing the context to the possible investing time frame and also the risks which come with that particular investment. Aquaculture as a sector came into limelight in 1992-93. Best of the names of India Inc of that time entered the sector as the Indian economy was opening up and exports were expected to pick up. It was assumed that given the long coastline the production of shrimps would be an easy business to grow. But reality turned out to be very different and the story is full of troubles. There were multiple reasons, right from the nature of business itself and lack of coordinated and sustained support by the government. But now with NDA 3.0 in power in two states which dominated this sector, will there be a more coordinated effort to bring this industry back on track and turnaround is sustained?
