These equity investments have seen positive gains in the Indian stock market, even better than some larger indices, like the Nifty 50 Index.

But what is behind such performance?

There have been many contributing factors to the highs we have experienced in these stocks in the last year. Select sectors have seen increased demand as part of India's self-reliance and digitisation agenda, with electronics, agro-processing and technology prominently in focus. Given that many of these stocks were coming off very low bases and small market caps, share prices can move quickly and dramatically on top of operational efficiencies, cost savings and new strategies for expansion, leading to enhanced profit margins. Also, government programs have promoted development, particularly through incentives for semiconductors, agriculture, and infrastructure, which have further acted as a catalyst, albeit inadvertently. Increasing bullish market sentiment has led to higher investor bets in these turnaround stories, further elevating stock prices.

While high returns are enticing, it is essential to think about the associated risks with Indian high-return stocks. The volatility of these stocks can lead to fast price declines as the conditions of the market change. Many of these stocks also trade at lower liquidity levels because they have a low volume of shares and therefore have the potential to impact your ability to open (or close) a position at an attractive price. A major risk includes overvalued stocks that can quickly rise only to fall back once reality sets in, and the company's fundamentals do not justify the price level. Many of the stocks in the list are also at risk for loss just because they are new companies in a new sector. They may or may not be able to financially withstand the declining economy. External factors, such as fluctuations in commodity prices or global events, will introduce their own risks for tech and agri-business companies.
