Asked which sector may deliver strong return to investors in the new year? Achin Goel, Vice-President, Bonanza Portfolio said, “In 2025, sectors likely to deliver strong returns include real estate, driven by government initiatives in affordable housing and urbanisation, alongside favourable interest rates; the power sector, benefiting from growth in renewable energy supported by government targets and rising electricity demand; infrastructure, bolstered by a $1.4 trillion investment plan that enhances construction opportunities and improves supply chains; and banking, which may see improved asset quality and increased lending activity boosting profitability.”
“While these sectors show promise, investors should remain vigilant and maintain diversified portfolios to navigate potential economic fluctuations,” Goel said.
