Key catalysts include a potential extension of the mobile PLI scheme, the rollout of ISM 2.0, and progress on the India–US trade deal.
Together, these stories highlight a common thread: markets are navigating policy uncertainty while rewarding real fundamentals—breadth in earnings, durable demand, and credible profitability. Whether it’s U.S. housing policy, tariff risks, or India’s electronics push, the winners will be those positioned for clearer rules and stronger cash flows.
