Indian stock indices have fallen this week by 0.4% due to profit-booking investors following recent gains. The Indian economy boasts strong fundamentals such as a firm GDP outlook, moderate inflation, and increased purchases by foreign investors, thus prospects continue to remain positive for the markets. Additionally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s US visit and possible defense collaboration between the two countries have brought the spotlight back onto defense stocks in India. The defense industry in India has grown in the past few years due to the government’s aggressive push in indigenous manufacturing. Investors are currently shying away from banking majors and turning their focus towards auto, FMCG, and energy sectors. Despite the fall in stock indices, the Indian rupee has recently shown strength due to strong foreign fund inflows and positive domestic macroeconomic data.Â
