Amisha Vora, Chairperson & MD of Prabhudas Lilladher said, " As a result, markets will likely shed the 'Modi premium,' causing a correction in PSU and infra stocks. Once this turbulence stabilizes, attention will shift to the core macro factors affecting India. Investors should brace for volatility in the short term, but the underlying fundamentals of India's growth story remain strong."
