Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Partner,
Rare Enterprises, in an interview with Nikunj Dalmia of ET NOW.
Can I quote your favourite line, that bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on scepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria?
I do not think these are my words. I think these are the John Templeton. But what he is saying is absolutely right.
If this bull market is a journey from Churchgate to Borivali, where do you think this bull market has reached?
I would say Charni Road.
So it has a long, long way to go?
Yes.
Do you see the potential of a kind of raging bull market in India like we saw in America last decade?

NEW DELHI: Ten stocks from Big Bull Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s portfolio climbed 10-40 per cent in the post-Budget rally that helped Sensex reclaim the 50,000-mark and Nifty top the 15,000 mark. With this, the total value of the stocks he holds has topped Rs 16,700 crore, up 82 per cent from the lows of March 2020.

Phillip Capital said a 191 per cent increase in allocation by the government towards the Jal Shakti Mission over the revised estimates for FY21, a 40 per cent increase in allocation for Smart Cities and AMRUT (over revised estimates), in addition to an increase in allocation for metro and road projects were all positives for NCC.
