The third and final reason is the attractive valuations at which many large cap and mid cap stocks are available. However, any investor wishing to enter the Indian equity market should think sector specific instead of looking at what the Sensex or Nifty is at. The next paragraph has suggestions on long-term stocks to invest in India.

Banking Stocks

Indian banks have rock solid fundamentals and an ever growing business model which were evident in the way they performed even during the economic recession. Both private and public sector banks have good expansion plans which will result into re-rating of the banking stocks, and the possibility of them reaching new highs cannot be ruled out.

With more and more contracts coming from European nations, I.T. companies are expected to perform better in the future.

Telecom Stocks

So, this is an area which you can concentrate on.
