In past 3 years, a host of sectors have been making a comeback. There are two kinds of comebacks, first is in terms of macro structure of the business witnessing an improvement and hence the bottomline showing an improvement and second is in the stock price performance. Both are very different and that's the most important needed to be taken into account. In last 8-9 years, there has been a policy-level effort to revive sectors like textiles for two reasons. First, it is a labor-intensive sector and impacts a large number of people. Second, there was an opportunity to cut imports and push exports.
