HAVE YOU HEARD of RRR? No, we aren’t talking about the Oscar-winning blockbuster film, though this RRR is a blockbuster of a different kind.

And that, for market par
ticipants, is a blockbuster. Let’s break it up. Reform is high on the agenda for
Narendra Modi, who recently became India’s Prime Minister for the third consecutive term. With the Union Budget 2024-25 around the corner, expectations are high on the Street of continued policy support across sectors—especially infrastructure, manufacturing, and rural—to sustain the growth momentum, which in turn will boost the markets.
Government schemes and policies have contributed immensely to India’s growth in the past decade. As a result, sectors such as consumer durables, industrials, capital goods, real estate, and infrastructure have outperformed the market during that period. The numbers confirm this. Since May 2014, the BSE Consumer Durables index advanced the most at 661%, followed by the BSE Industrials (520%), the capital goods index (411%), consumer discretionary (400%), realty (361%), and information technology (355%), while the benchmark BSE Sensex advanced 230%.
Mohit Batra, Founder and CEO of equity research firm MarketsMojo, says, “The Modi-led government has undertaken significant reforms over the past decade, transforming India—from being part of the Fragile Five to the fastest-growing economy globally.”
