Two small cap stocks riding India’s defense wave

By Suhel Khan

India has over the last decade been very clear about one thing. It isn’t the same country that is used to be a couple of decades ago. Emerging as not only a financial super power, but also a strong power to reckon with when it comes to national security. If you look at the recent budget, the government has allocated Rs 6.81 lakh crore for the defense sector, the highest ever.

Out of this, Rs 1.80 lakh crore is allocated under Capital Budget of Armed Forces with modernisation as a key focus area and Rs 1.12 lakh crore is earmarked for procurement from domestic industries. It is no doubt that the push for defense will be one of the biggest priorities for the government and thee country.

Could these small cap stocks be the next multibaggers in the making?
