This Is Still India’s Decade

This podcast episode explores Morgan Stanley's perspective on India's election results and the economic outlook for the coming decade. The BJP-led NDA retaining its majority provides policy predictability, which is favorable for equities. India's macro stability, rising GDP growth, and advanced digital infrastructure contribute to its outperformance in emerging market equities. The potential growth factors discussed include the fall in primary deficit, the emergence of a fast-evolving deep tech sector, critical reforms for fiscal deficit consolidation and infrastructure development, and the government's focus on improving competitiveness in various industries. The risks and factors that could impact India's bull market, such as capacity constraints, geopolitics, the impact of AI, and climate change, are also mentioned. Despite these risks, the speaker believes that this will be India's longest and strongest bull market ever, expressing optimism and emphasizing the importance of staying invested.
