Budget 2023: Ex Deputy VP of HDFC Bank recommends these 4 stocks to buy today

Sandeep Pandey advised positional investors to look at steel stocks, which is an integral part of infrastructure sector. He said that steel prices have corrected much as well and they are expected to surge in the wake of reopening theme in China. The market expert who is currently director at Basav Capital recommended four budget 2023 stocks to buy and those four budget stocks are Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M), Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) and Tata Steel.

Expecting EV theme to be in the focus of budget 2023, Sandeep Pandey said, “Ever since Narendra Modi government took over from the UPA government in New Delhi, they have been focussing on containing the pollution and an alternative to the petrol and diesel fuel. In this regard, they hace been focussing on EV vehicles quite aggressively. As this would be their last full budget, I am expecting FM Nirmala Sitharaman to unveil road map for adoption of EV vehicles in India. If that happens, then auto companies who have invested heavily in research and development of EV vehicles may witness sharp upside movement post-budget speech of Nirmala Sitharaman.”

On budget 2023 stocks to buy from the auto segment, former Deputy Vice President at HDFC Bank Ltd said, “One can buy Tata Motors, M&M (Mahindra & Mahindra) and Maruti Suzuki India Ltd or MSIL. As auto companies have given strong quarterly numbers in recently ended December 2022 quarter and they have been witnessing continuous jump in their sales, I am expecting them to shift in EV segment with more ease as they have been running early bird projects to cash-in EV segment.”

Asking positional investors to buy steel stock ahead of budget 2023, Sandeep Pandey said, “The Government of India (GoI) will have an extra focus on development and job creation as they are going to face Lok Sabha elections next year. So, rather looking at infrastructure stocks, one should look at steel stocks to buy as the metal price has corrected much in recent quarters and it is expected to bounce back on reopening theme in China. So, one can add Tata Steel shares in one’s stock portfolio ahead of Nirmala Sitharaman begins her speech on 1st February 2023.”
