India’s economy continues to demonstrate resilience under a stable political regime. According to a new report, the BJP-led NDA administration’s recent wins in state assembly elections and a favorable budget have further solidified its position as a stable governing force.
Axis Securities’ February CIO memo predicts that India’s economic growth will steadily recover. It expects quarterly earnings to improve sequentially as government spending accelerates and private sector capital expenditure (capex) rebounds. This optimistic outlook indicates a bright future for India’s economic performance in the coming months.
Indian Market Conditions: Investment Opportunity Amid Volatility
Despite a challenging start to the year, the Indian stock market is in an oversold position. The memo notes that domestic institutional investors saw positive inflows during January, signaling strong investor confidence. Given this, Axis Securities predicts that the market will soon shift direction and likely reach new highs by the end of the year.

The report emphasizes that the structural growth story of India remains intact, presenting an excellent opportunity for investors to secure double-digit returns from equities.
Global Economic Landscape: External Challenges And Future Outlook
On the global stage, macroeconomic conditions continue to evolve, especially with the ongoing changes in U.S. leadership under President Donald Trump. The report highlights that while short-term market volatility remains a concern, primarily due to potential tariffs, the medium- to long-term outlook for equities remains positive. As earnings growth and the cost of funds align, equities are expected to follow a favorable trajectory.
Performance Overview: Short-Term Setbacks, Long-Term Gains
January proved challenging for Indian equities, with market strategies underperforming the benchmark index by a significant margin. However, Axis Securities points out that over the course of the fiscal year, these strategies have still outperformed the benchmark. The report adds that the recent market correction has unveiled value in many holdings, which continue to report strong earnings growth.
“Given this, it is only a matter of time before the portfolio performance catches up with its earnings growth,” the memo concludes.
In summary, while short-term challenges persist, India’s stable political climate, improving market conditions, and the growing economy position the country well for future growth and investment success.
