Reasons Behind the Surge
The surge in railway-related stocks can be attributed to the government’s plans to invest Rs 5.25 lakh crore in the railway sector between 2024 and 2031. Companies associated with the railway industry are expected to benefit significantly from this investment. This surge follows a recent trend where government-owned company stocks have delivered impressive returns. Notably, defense sector stocks have also witnessed multibagger returns.
It’s worth recalling that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his response to the discussion on the trust vote, encouraged investors to consider buying shares of government-owned companies, indicating his confidence in their potential for growth.
