Purchase these three premium Indian stocks to increase your profits over time

Aberdeen New India Investment Trust co-managers Rita Tahilramani and James Thom suggest three Indian stocks to purchase right now

Aberdeen New India Investment Trust invests in outstanding Indian stocks in an effort to provide long-term outperformance. Our bottom-up strategy focuses on high-quality companies that profit from India's structural expansion. We concentrate on five essential characteristics: robust practices in the area of environmental and social governance (ESG), competent management teams, supportive industries, robust business models, and strong finances.

We don't care about sectors or benchmarks because stock selection determines returns. Even if a company is the industry leader, we do not own it if it does not meet our quality standards. Additionally, we steer clear of stocks that are overpriced. The outcome is an all-cap, high-conviction, targeted portfolio of India's top concepts. Additionally, the fund can provide a defensive edge during downturns because quality usually holds up better during times of volatility.

You should think about including three Indian stocks in your portfolio.

One of India's top integrated telecom companies, Bharti Airtel (Mumbai: BHARTIARTL) provides mobile, fixed-line, broadband, and business services. Riding the wave of smartphone adoption and the rollout of 5G mobile networks, Airtel is well-known for its solid balance sheet, disciplined execution, and cost control.

With more than 280 million smartphone data users, Airtels' subscriber base keeps growing, increasing market share and average revenue per user. India is the global leader in data generation, and Airtel is in a strong position to meet this growing demand.

In addition to having the most active market for large-language model (LLM) users and the second-largest online population in the world, the nation offers some of the cheapest data prices in the worldroughly £1.50 per month for 20 to 30 gigabytes. Airtel is the most commercially astute and financially responsible operator in a market that has shrunk from twelve to three players.

In the agricultural sector, Mahindra and Mahindra (Mumbai: M&M) is a dominant force. It is India's leading tractor manufacturer with a 43 percent market share, dominating the country's vehicle industry from SUVs to tractors. Even though agriculture isn't the main driver of GDP growth, there is still a high demand for farm equipment because it is one of India's biggest employers. We think that over the next few years, tractor sales could increase by 10% annually due to low levels of mechanization. This would provide Mahindras with cash flow to invest in high-end cars and locally produced, competitively priced electric vehicles.

Mahindra is able to benefit from India's structural expansion thanks to these two advantages. Despite market challenges, the stock has produced strong gains this year, demonstrating its superior innovation and execution. Mahindra is a strong long-term prospect because it is well-positioned for steady growth and margin expansion.

India's top integrated oil, gas, and chemical logistics company is Aegis Logistics (Mumbai: AEGISLOG). In order to promote long-term growth, it has started a two-phase £5 billion capital expenditure plan.

At important ports, Aegis has a first-mover advantage and is increasing capacity. A strong balance sheet, a net cash position since 2018, and management that continuously performs well are all solid fundamentals. Aegis has benefited from rising natural gas prices brought on by India's growing demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the country's move away from fossil fuels, and domestic supply lagging consumption.
