Last week, Credit Suisse, global Investment Bank released a report which talks about the expected strategy of the Govt of India in Union Budget 2015-16 and what are the best stocks which would benefit from such budget. I thought of sharing the summary and the top stocks which it recommended. What are the best stocks which are recommended by Credit Suisse? How do they justify such recommendations with reasons?

What does the Credit Suisse report say about Union budget 2015-16?


  • Credit Suisse says National Highways, Railways, Rural Roadways, Rural Housing, Urban Housing etc. would be the focus of spending from Govt. of India.
  • Credit Suisse expects that there would be heavy spending on Infrastructure, Defence, Manufacturing etc. which would have medium to long term impact. In short term it may not have much impact.
  • Currently, Construction share of GDP is at low. Credit Suisse also expects that construction to pick-up from low levels as Govt. of India is working by clearing regulatory blocks and issuing EPC contrats. This would improve construction activities.
  • Also cement demand growth in India is expected to grow as Govt. of India spending on roads and housings is expected to increase.
  • Some of these strategies indicated by Credit Suisse would definitely have impact, however I am not sure how they would impact on each stock.

  1. Hi Suresh,
    I have a offtopic question.
    How short tetm debt funds are taxed if invested earlier to changes in the taxation previous year

    1. If you redeem your debt mutual fund units before 3 years (short term), the profits are fully taxable. Means you need to add the profits to your taxable income and pay the income tax in the year which you are selling. E.g. Sreenivas purchased X debt mutual fund (growth) in Apr-2012 for Rs 5,00,000 and sold in Feb-2015 for Rs 5,10,000. Since the time frame is < 3 years, the returns of Rs 10,000 added to Sreenivas taxable income and tax needs to be paid based on the tax slab

  2. Dear suresh sir, Can you give me some good mutual fund and stocks to enter now for 10 year plan our children future long term. i will be very thank ful to you . woiuld like to invest 10 lackhs total amount
