Industry Overview for the Company

A turbulent equity movement, dismal corporate earnings, sub normal monsoons, plunge in commodity and oil prices: It has not been a good year to remember for Indian markets. "Year 2017-2018 turned out to be a complicated year for investors with corporate performance failing markets expectation. Domestic politics have also eluded market expectations.

Opportunities and Outlook

Domestic stock markets are not out of the woods yet and the coming year will continue to be challenging. However, 2018 is likely to be better than 2017. Large-cap stocks continue to remain under pressure, while cracks are already developing in the mid- and small-cap space, the segment which gave a phenomenal return of about 65 per cent in the past two years."Markets are likely to be volatile. However, we are positive that in 2017, a more meaningful shift will take place in financial assets.

Threat. Risks & Concern

Low pace of global growth, low commodity prices and the governments inability to balance the fiscal deficit will be three key challenges to the markets. "While the developed economies are moving out of repair, growth across many emerging markets could moderate, given high dollar debt. Key long-term challenge for India remains ability to rein in the consolidated fiscal deficit. Government expenditure bill will increase, with the proposed revision in wages and likelihood of other measures to support rural income.
