Helped by continuation of policy push: 5 largecap stocks from different sectors with upside potential of u
There are many sectors which have been able to do well because of policy push by the government. Many may not realize that “Tipper” which is a kind of light commercial vehicle ( LCV) did extremely well due to the fact that it is used in road construction and in the last eight years, that has done extremely well.

Now with increased probability of continuation of policy push, some of these sectors and companies are likely to see continued tailwinds.

Economic TimesReady for re-rating once again? 4 stocks from textile sector with upside potential of up to 24%
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. All the policy efforts were having a moderate impact but then came Covid and China plus one came into the picture, changing the whole picture externally. Internally, help came in the form of the PLI scheme which helped some companies reduce cost of capital and resources for expanding.
