The stock market and elections

What should be done if the BJP wins between 300 and 330 seats or fewer in the Lok Sabha elections?

Effects of election

The turnout in the first three stages of the election has been slightly lower, according to PhillipCapital. Although this may have an impact on the outcome for a few constituencies, it is highly doubtful that it will significantly dent the outcome that is widely anticipated, which is that the BJP will return to power.

PhillipCapital has stated that it is not an expert in projecting the amount of seats that the BJP or NDA will win, but it believes that a victory for the NDA that is greater than 400 seats is highly improbable.

According to the most recent note published by PhillipCapital, a slightly reduced turnout in the first three phases of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 is not likely to change the predicted re-election of the BJP, which is led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi throughout the elections.

Although the brokerage acknowledged that it is not an expert in estimating the number of seats that the BJP or NDA will win, it was of the opinion that a victory for the NDA alliance that would result in more over 400 seats is highly improbable.

According to the brokerage business, the stock market ought to experience a surge in the event that the partnership led by the BJP is successful in reaching that figure. 

"If a decrease in the number of seats for the NDA from 300 to 330 results in a knee-jerk reaction from the market (a fall), we would consider this to be an opportunity to buy." It is possible that a further decline in voter participation in the subsequent election stages could have an impact on the outcome of the election as well as the stock market, which is why the domestic brokerage stated that they would keep a careful eye on the situation. 

The turnout in the first three stages of the election has been slightly lower, according to PhillipCapital. Although this may have an impact on the outcome for a few constituencies, it is highly doubtful that it will significantly dent the outcome that is widely anticipated, which is that the BJP will return to power.

Phase 1 had a turnout of 66.1 percent, while Phase 2 had a turnout of six and a half percent. A voter turnout of 64.6% was recorded during Phase 3, which is much lower than the national average of 67.4% that was observed during the 2019 elections. Out of the larger states, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu showed lower turnouts in comparison to the readings for 2019, followed by Kerala and Assam, while Karnataka's turnout was somewhat higher. 

Six states and territories, totaling 244 members, have partially finished voting in 97 constituencies as of the end of the third round of the election process. Voting has not yet taken place in 113 constituencies, which is equivalent to ten states and territories. 

For the time being, there are a total of 260 constituencies that have not yet been put to the vote. These constituencies include key states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, and Bihar.
