Power and defence stocks still have long-term growth runway: PL Capital’s Amnish Aggarwal

Amnish Aggarwal, Director Institutional Research at PL Capital, says rising fuel prices, inflation and El Niño risks could slow credit growth in the coming quarters, even though stress signs are not yet visible in the economy. He remains constructive on defence and power-linked stocks over the long term due to strong order books and infrastructure demand, while cautioning that valuations across several sectors have already turned expensive.
