Entering the year 2025, Indian stocks remain resilient compared to global markets despite economic fears. The three major drivers, which include government expenditure, private investment, and loosening credit restrictions, are expected to propel market performance. Investors will be eager to know the stocks that will reward them with good returns. Let’s explore the best stocks selected by analysts and recommended for inclusion in the list for 2025, all based on performance potential and stock trends.
These carefully curated picks are poised to outperform the market and generate substantial returns for investors. Let’s take a look at these:
DLF is a good bet in the realty space, with a potential upside of 25%, capitalizing on increased housing demand. Experts point out its healthy launch pipeline, which has an expected sales potential of ₹41,000 crore in FY25 and ₹63,500 crore going forward. Indian residential space remains on an upward trajectory as supply lags behind demand in cities. The concentration on high-value and mid-range housing slates DLF for high growth over the next couple of years.
KNR Constructions is one of the major players in India's infrastructure space, especially in highway development. The firm has a healthy order book of ₹5,606 crore and is confident of getting more orders worth ₹5,000-6,000 crore. With India's focus on infrastructure development and higher government spending on roads and highways, KNR Constructions has an upper hand to grow steadily. Its effective execution and robust balance sheet ensure it is a good bet for 2025; analysts project a potential upside of 24% for the stock.
Bharti Airtel is among India's top telecom providers, with advantages from growing mobile data usage and higher 4G and 5G uptake. The firm is the leader in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) at ₹233 and anticipates this to go higher with the growing customer base. Airtel's spending on rural outreach, 5G network upgrades, and fintech initiatives gives its revenue horizon a boost. Analysts forecast an upside of 18% for the stock with good long-term growth prospects.
Samvardhana Motherson International is a leading auto-components player with a diversified global presence. Its order book shows positive figures of US$88 billion, with 24% from electric vehicles (EVs). It has made 43 strategic acquisitions, consolidating its position in the global supply chain. With the growing adoption of EVs and demand for high-quality auto components, Samvardhana Motherson is poised for stunning growth of up to 24% in 2025.
Zomato is leading India's food delivery and quick commerce industry. The business is aided by the growth in Blinkit as well as its restaurant supply chain business, Hyperpure. As internet penetration rises and consumer behaviour changes, the revenue streams for Zomato are likely to increase at a fast pace. The investments in new geographies and operational scale also enhance its long-term trajectory, which shows an upside of 19%.
Piramal Pharma is a dominant player in contract research, hospital generics, and consumer healthcare. Its contract development and manufacturing (CRDMO) division is seeing growing demand following international supply chain realignments away from China. The firm is also emphasizing innovation and growth in key overseas markets. With a growth goal of US$2 billion in revenue by FY30, Piramal Pharma stock is set for long-term success of up to 26%.
Maruti Suzuki is India's largest carmaker and is poised for tremendous growth with a 35.4% upside in 2025. The company is introducing several new SUV models and venturing into hybrid and electric vehicles. With a 26% market share in the B-segment, Maruti Suzuki enjoys robust brand loyalty, and growing consumer demand makes it one of the top stocks to watch in 2025. Even with the slower rate of EV adoption in India, its diversified strategy, comprising CNG and hybrid cars, guarantees consistent growth.
The Indian stock market of 2025 offers a variety of investment options, with the major sectors being real estate, infrastructure, telecom, and EVs leading the growth. The above-mentioned seven stocks have good fundamentals and are likely to perform better than the broader market. Investors seeking stability and high returns can include these companies in their portfolio.
