Will the bull run in defence stocks continue? Long-term growth seen, but valuations flash warning signs

Defence stocks have been on a blistering rally, with the NSE Defence Index soaring 20 percent in the last one month, vastly outperforming the Nifty 50, which rose by only about 1 percent during the same period. With India sharpening its strategic focus on indigenous defence manufacturing amid global geopolitical tensions, many investors are wondering: Will the bull run in defence stocks continue? While the long-term fundamentals remain strong, market experts warn that valuations have already priced in much of the near-term earnings growth. The bull case for defence stocks is rooted in a larger geopolitical and policy shift. According to Omniscience Capital, which manages a defence-focused smallcase, the Indian government is likely to ramp up defence spending from the current ~2 percent of GDP to 3–4 percent over the next decade. With India expected to become a $10 trillion economy by 2035, this would imply an annual defence budget exceeding USD 300 billion, or ₹ 30 lakh crore—translating to a 16–17 percent CAGR in defence expenditure over the next ten years. Omniscience Capital's report, 'Operation Sindoor: An Inflection Point for Bharat's Omni Defence Strategy', argues that the recent military and security operations have highlighted the need for a robust, future-ready defence infrastructure—not just to protect borders, but also to secure India's digital ecosystems, trade routes, and overseas strategic assets. India's domestic defence production crossed ₹ 1.4 lakh crore in FY25, with DPSUs (Defence Public Sector Undertakings) contributing around ₹ 1.1 lakh crore, or 78 percent. Of this, ₹ 90,000 crore came from 8 listed DPSUs, forming 66 percent of the total DPSU output. The government now aims to double the total defence production to ₹ 3 lakh crore by 2029. Even assuming DPSUs maintain a 60 percent share, their combined output would need to grow at 18 percent CAGR, hitting ₹ 1.8 lakh crore by 2029. Analysts project that the turnover of listed DPSUs will grow by 18 percent in FY26 and 22 percent in FY27, while 9 unlisted DPSUs are estimated to generate over ₹ 20,000 crore in FY26 alone. Private players are also expected to play a larger role, diversifying the sector's investment potential. However, while the sector's structural growth story remains intact, concerns around high valuations are surfacing. The median trailing P/E of listed DPSUs stands at 57, with forward P/E for FY26 and FY27 at 45 and 36, respectively. Valuations are even steeper for private defence companies, making investors vulnerable to corrections if expectations aren't met. Dr. Vikas Gupta, CEO of Omniscience Capital, said, 'The future of India's defence sector is undoubtedly bright. However, we urge investors to remain valuation-conscious. Much of the high growth has already been factored into stock prices, particularly in the short term.' Despite these cautionary signals, experts argue that the rally has legs over the long run. India's strategic ambitions—to become the world's third-largest economy by 2027–28 and a 7–8 percent contributor to global GDP—will require significant defence investment. The Indian Armed Forces are under pressure to modernize, especially with neighboring countries likely to boost their own defence spending in response to India's growing capabilities. Moreover, a strong fiscal position and global interest in India as a defence exporter could help sustain capex in the sector, while also creating tailwinds for listed players. Overall, the bull run in defence stocks has been driven by compelling macro themes: rising geopolitical risk, India's focus on self-reliance, and ambitious spending targets. However, with valuations running ahead of fundamentals in many cases, the question for investors is no longer whether defence is a growth story—it is how much of that growth is already in the price. Experts suggest a balanced approach: remain invested for the long-term transformation underway, but be selective and valuation-conscious in the short run. The next leg of the rally may belong not to the sector as a whole, but to the well-positioned companies with sustained earnings visibility.

Inside Naman Xana In Mumbai, Where Pharma Royalty Leena Gandhi Tewari Bought Ultra-Luxury Flats For Rs 703 Crore

Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Leena Gandhi Tewari, USV Pharmaceuticals Chairperson, bought two Mumbai flats. She bought the duplexes for Rs 703 crore, in the residential tower Naman Xana. The real-estate deal is among India's highest ever. Mumbai's real estate scene is no stranger to luxury, but every now and then, a deal comes along that truly raises the bar. On May 28, Leena Gandhi Tewari, Chairperson of USV Pharmaceuticals, bought two ultra-luxury, sea-facing duplex apartments in the prestigious Naman Xana tower. The property is located in Mumbai's upscale Worli neighbourhood. As per a Hindustan Times report, the total value of the deal, including taxes, is a staggering Rs 703 crore, making it the most expensive residential property deal ever recorded in India. A Record-Breaking Deal Leena Gandhi Tewari's purchase of these two sea-facing duplexes sets a new benchmark in India's luxury real estate market. Tewari bought two duplexes, 31st to the 35th floors in Naman Xana. The deal was valued at Rs 639 crore. An additional stamp duty payment of Rs 31.95 crore was part of the deal. According to data from CRE Matrix, this transaction recorded the highest-ever price per square foot, at Rs 3,17,630. However, considering the combined RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) carpet area of over 11,000 sq ft, the effective price per square foot comes down to around Rs 2.83 lakh, the report noted. What Is Naman Xana Developed by the renowned Shree Naman Group, the Naman Xana residential tower is, according to the developers, a true example of architectural brilliance and luxury. It is designed in collaboration with the famous architectural firm Talati & Partners. The 150-metre residential tower overlooks the Worli Seaface and offers stunning panoramic views of the Arabian Sea. The building features 22 residential floors and 11 dedicated parking levels. The 'bare shell' design of Naman Xana allows for 6,500 square feet of space to be designed as 3BHK, 4BHK, or 5BHK as desired. The space can also be customised to create duplex apartments with double-height spaces, says the website of Talati & Partners. Clean lines, with a hint of cascading greens make for pockets of nature within the highrise. Location Takes The Cake Situated at Flora Junction on Worli Seaface, Naman Xana enjoys a prime location with unbeatable connectivity. The building sits in a corner plot, which adds to its overall USP. Residents of this tower have easy access to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the Western Express Highway, making travel across Mumbai quick and hassle-free. The neighbourhood is also close to top shopping spots, fine dining restaurants and cultural landmarks. Transactions of this nature aren't exactly new in the real-estate market in Mumbai, which has seen quite a few properties sold for more than Rs 2 lakh per square foot. In most of these cases, it is the location that decides the hefty price tag of the properties. Worli, Tardeo and Malabar Hill are among the most prestigious locations, and in much demand with the ultra-rich. Add to that views of the Arabian Sea, and you have real-estate prices climbing further up. Summing Up Leena Gandhi Tiwari's acquisition of the two ultra-luxury apartments in Naman Xana marks a record deal in Indian real-estate. It is also an indicator of ultra-high net worth individuals investing in India's real-estate market. Last month, DLF's ultra-luxury Trump Tower Residences in Gurugram, Haryana, were all sold out on its launch day itself.
