Nifty likely to touch 28,781 in a year, domestic-oriented sectors to drive growth: Report

PL Capital forecasts Nifty reaching 28,781 driven by banks, autos, metals. Strong GDP growth and consumption revival to fuel 12.1% EPS CAGR through FY27.

"By 2030, the country is projected to host around 2,200 Global Capability Centres generating over $100 billion in revenue - PL Capital"

New Delhi, Oct 14

The market benchmark Nifty is expected to touch 28,781 in about 12 months, a report said on Tuesday, citing the remarkable resilience of India's economy and equity markets in the face of global challenges, including US tariffs, H-1B visa fee hikes, and geopolitical volatility.

PL Capital forecasts a 12.1 per cent EPS compound annual growth rate for Nifty from FY25 to FY27, adding that domestic-oriented sectors like banks, autos and metals will lead growth.

The brokerage said that with normal monsoons, a 100-basis-point cut in interest rates, rationalisation of GST rates, and tax reductions announced in the FY26 Budget, the conditions are now conducive for a strong revival in consumption.

It also added that cement, metals, oil and gas are sectors to lead FY26 earnings.

India’s Q1 FY26 GDP growth reaffirmed the economy’s resilience, surpassing expectations at 7.8 per cent year-on-year, compared with 6.5 per cent in Q1 FY25 and 7.4 per cent in Q4FY25, the report said.

High-frequency indicators, including GST collections, e-way bills, services exports, and credit growth, indicate strong underlying domestic demand.

The revival of demand will likely increase private sector capacity utilisation and private capex, which have been waiting on the sidelines, PL Capital predicted.

The broking firm noted that India’s services exports are entering a new growth phase, led by digitally delivered, high-value knowledge services.

“By 2030, the country is projected to host around 2,200 Global Capability Centres (GCCs) generating over $100 billion in revenue, with total services exports expected to reach $500 billion,” the firm noted.

The talent landscape is evolving rapidly, with rising demand in areas such as AI, cybersecurity, GenAI product engineering, and sustainability analytics — further strengthening India’s position as a global innovation hub, it added.

While the projections look promising, I hope the government ensures that this growth translates to better job opportunities for the middle class. The focus on AI and cybersecurity is good, but we need more skill development programs.

The 7.8% GDP growth is really impressive! Shows how resilient our economy has become despite global challenges. I'm particularly interested in the metals and cement sectors mentioned - these are crucial for infrastructure development.

$500 billion in services exports by 2030? That's massive! The GCC growth story is real - I work in one and we're expanding rapidly. This validates India's position as a global innovation hub. Time to invest in IT and tech stocks! 💻

The report seems optimistic but I'd like to see more details about how they're accounting for potential global headwinds. The projections depend heavily on multiple factors aligning perfectly - monsoon, rate cuts, GST rationalization all need to happen as expected.

As someone from a tier-2 city, I'm happy to see domestic sectors leading the growth. This means development will reach smaller cities too. The auto sector revival will create many jobs in manufacturing hubs across India. Good for our youth! 👍
