The Government of India in its ‘Vision-2030’ has set the target for India to be a 10 trillion-dollar economy by 2030¹ – potentially uplifting it to the rank of the 3rd largest economy in the world from its current rank of no.5.

Abundance of growth envisioned and achieved.

Robust and consistent year-on-year GDP growth is a must to fulfil these visions for the Indian economy.

The Indian economy witnessed a year-on-year GDP growth of 7.6% and 7.8% in the last two quarters of 2023 – actually surpassing the RBI estimate of 6.5%³.

India seems to be well on its way to be amongst the top 3 economies in the world⁴.

Can you benefit from the India growth story with just a single investment?

Most certainly yes, by investing in the big contributors and the big beneficiaries of the Indian growth story!

PSUs have the potential to be a big contributor!

How so?

Simply put Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) are those companies in which the government has substantial stake. They include companies where the Central/State Government(s) has majority shareholding or management control or has powers to appoint majority of directors.

As the name suggests PSUs are engaged in sectors that provides services that benefit and are essential to the public at large.

So, as India grows PSUs have the potential to grow too!

And here is why:

• - PSUs contribute significantly to building the economy.

  They are typically involved in sectors that are the building blocks of the economy. Ones without which sustained economic growth is not possible. Gas & Power, Fuels, Banking & Finance, Agriculture, Transport, Infrastructure….to name a few.

• - Infrastructure leaders

  There is a lot that needs to take place in an economy to support robust and fast paced growth. Building social and physical infrastructure is one such area. PSUs are heavily engaged in building this right from railways, highways to healthcare and education.

• - Government spending on the rise

  The government is committed to its growth vision for India and is heavily investing in building capacities to reach there. Be it on Research and Development R&D in PSUs or incentives or PSU reforms, PSUs stand to benefit significantly from these measures.

• An added spark - a new lease of life for many PSUs

  With privatisation/disinvestment on the cards for many PSUs, they stand to gain additional push to their growth. Privatisation can bring on a higher level of efficiency and higher profitability to the companies which can ultimately benefit investors in PSUs.
