  • Power: Nuclear energy investment and transmission reforms support sector growth.

  • Shipbuilding: Duty exemptions and ecosystem development favor shipbuilding stocks.

  • Insurance: Higher FDI limit to boost investments.

  • Tourism & Hospitality: Government focus on infrastructure and visa relaxation supports hotel and travel stocks.

Conclusion

Budget 2025 offers significant tax relief and incentives for consumption, benefiting FMCG, retail, and auto stocks. However, reduced capex raises concerns about long-term economic growth, impacting infrastructure and capital goods stocks. Investors should balance their portfolios, focusing on sectors benefiting from policy support while cautiously monitoring global and fiscal factors. Keeping an eye on RBI's policies and external market trends will be key to navigating post-budget investment opportunities.
