"BJP's win in the 3 state elections of MP, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh is much better than what exit polls suggested and reinforces the consensus expectations of a Modi win 2024 national elections with a greater likelihood of 300-plus seats for the BJP. This boost to the investor sentiment should augur well for domestic cyclical sectors viz. banks, industrial, power, property and mid caps," said Jefferies.
With the state elections outcome overwhelmingly in favour of the incumbent BJP, the confidence of the market in the current dispensation and political continuity post 2024 Lok Sabha elections will get a boost, said Motilal Oswal Securities.
"This augurs well for macro and policy momentum for India, which, at the moment, is seeing the highest growth among major economies (both GDP as well as corporate earnings)," the domestic brokerage said.
