In our view, our picks remain heavily undervalued, so we make no changes to the list.
India’s mobile sector sustained mid-teen growth again, though we expect a slowdown to high single digits from 2QFY25 onwards once last July’s tariff increase is lapped.

Investors should consider building portfolios based on likely targets. Who are they?
