Muhurat Trading 2025: PL Capital Bets On Swiggy, TVS Motors Among Others, Sees Up To 58% Upside
Muhurat Trading 2025: PL Capital Bets On Swiggy, TVS Motors Among Others, Sees Up To 58% Upside
Muhurat Trading 2025 Stock Picks: The benchmark Nifty 50 has gained nearly 3% so far in October, signalling a revival in investors' risk appetite amid expectations of an earnings recovery from the current quarter (Q3FY26). The optimism is driven by the recent GST rate cuts, favourable growth-inflation dynamics, and festive demand.
There is also growing anticipation that foreign institutional investors (FIIs) may return to Indian equities following the US's decision to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports.
Experts believe Indian equities could deliver healthy returns in Samvat 2082, particularly if an India–US trade deal is finalised. Both countries are currently negotiating, with signs suggesting a potential agreement by November.
Given these tailwinds, analysts say this is an opportune time for long-term investors to accumulate high-quality stocks.
Every year, investors participate in ‘Muhurat Trading' on Diwali, considered an auspicious time to begin new investments. This year, the special session will be held on Tuesday, October 21, from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm.
