Analysts Name Stocks to Buy Amid Cautious Indian Markets
Indian shares fell after the country’s central bank raised interest rates.
A weaker rupee also made investors more cautious.
The Nifty and Sensex both ended lower.
Two market analysts shared ideas for stocks they think investors could consider buying.
Vaishali Parekh named three stocks, while Sumeet Bagadia named five.
They also gave prices to buy at, possible target prices and stop-loss levels.
Their views on important market levels were not identical.
These are the analysts’ recommendations, not a guarantee that the stocks will rise.
After the Reserve Bank of India raised rates by 25 basis points, the Nifty 50 fell 0.76% to 22,603 and the Sensex fell 0.59% to 72,638.
The rupee’s continued weakness also weighed on sentiment; PSU Banks and Media gained, while Metal, Realty, Auto and IT lagged.
Vaishali Parekh said the Nifty remained cautious within a 22,000–23,000 range and recommended Balrampur Chini, Bluestone and Kotak Mahindra Bank.
Sumeet Bagadia described market momentum as subdued but showing some stabilisation, and recommended Jyothy Labs, Chalet Hotels, Orkla India, Union Bank and PNB Housing Finance.
The analysts cited different technical levels: Parekh identified Nifty support near 22,200 and Bank Nifty support near 53,000, while Bagadia placed Nifty support at 22,500–22,550.

“The Nifty 50 index would have the crucial support near the 22,200 zone on the downside and on the upside, as mentioned earlier, a decisive breach above the 23,000 level is necessary to establish conviction and clarity for further upward move.”
