In the current fiscal year of 2024, Indian equities have exhibited exceptional performance, with nearly all sectoral indices recording double-digit gains. The benchmark index Sensex has surged by approximately 12%. In today's market analysis conducted by ETMarkets, we found that power sector has recorded 28% gains. Further examination revealed that eight out of the 12 stocks in the BSE Power index have witnessed significant gains ranging from 25% to 100%. (Data Source: ACE Equity)These eight stocks exhibit remarkable strength in a SWOT analysis, with strengths outweighing weaknesses, indicating the potential for further increases in their stock prices, according to Trendlyne data.According to a report by Jefferies, "As India enters a phase of capex-driven GDP growth, power intensity should rise. We expect annual thermal plant load factors (PLFs) to cross 80% by FY25E, above a two-decade peak. Power generation and T&D investments should rise 2.2x to USD 280 billion in FY24E-30E versus FY17-23, and we landscape 50+ listed beneficiaries. Green hydrogen is a further potential boost. NTPC, Power Grid, and JSW Energy are our top picks. We estimate that Power Capex will grow at a CAGR of 20% from FY23 to FY26E, a substantial increase compared to the 2.2% CAGR observed between FY10 and FY20."
