Stocks to buy for short term: From Apollo Hospitals to Godrej Consumer— Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking suggests 3 names
While US President Donald Trump's surprise 25 per cent tariff announcement on India initially triggered a knee-jerk reaction, a gradual recovery in heavyweight stocks across sectors helped the market briefly turn positive and end with mild losses.
The Nifty 50 ended 0.35 per cent lower at 24,768.35 on Thursday, July 31.
Ajit Mishra, SVP of research at Religare Broking, pointed out that as the August derivatives series begins, the market is likely to consolidate, but global developments and corporate earnings will continue to drive volatility.
"We maintain our cautious stance and recommend a stock-specific approach, given the mixed trends across sectors. Traders should also avoid averaging down on loss-making positions," said Mishra.
Mishra suggests buying shares of Apollo Hospitals, Cipla, and Godrej Consumer Products for the short term.
Mishra underscored that Apollo Hospitals continues to demonstrate a structurally strong uptrend on the weekly chart, with the price maintaining its position well above the 100-week EMA.
After a prolonged steady uptrend phase, the stock witnessed a corrective decline, finding support near the long-term moving average. This correction was followed by a sharp V-shaped recovery, reinforcing bullish sentiment.
The stock is now trading near its all-time highs, consolidating in a tight range—a healthy sign, indicating strength and possible continuation.
The rising trend line from recent lows remains intact, supporting the current price action.
"Volume patterns are relatively stable, and any breakout above the recent highs could lead to the next leg of the rally. Overall, the structure favours bullish continuation with immediate support near ₹ 7,200 and the 100 WEMA acting as a long-term cushion," said Mishra. Apollo Hospitals Enterprise technical chart
Mishra highlighted that Cipla has exhibited a classic technical progression marked by a strong base formation followed by a robust rally, reflecting underlying institutional accumulation.
Post this rally, the stock entered a prolonged consolidation phase between ₹ 1,400– ₹ 1,575, indicating a healthy pause within a primary uptrend.
This rectangle pattern near the highs reflects time-wise correction rather than price damage, suggesting strength in structure.
The breakout from this range, supported by a bullish candle and pickup in volume, signals a potential resumption of the broader trend.
"Price continues to trade above key moving averages, which are aligned positively, reinforcing bullish sentiment. The breakout zone near ₹ 1,525 now becomes immediate support, while the stock eyes a potential move toward ₹ 1,675– ₹ 1,740 zone," said Mishra. Cipla technical chart
According to Mishra, Godrej Consumer has exhibited a strong upward rally in the past, followed by a broad consolidation phase, which resembles a trend continuation pattern.
"After peaking near ₹ 1,500, the stock retraced and found demand around the 200-week EMA zone near ₹ 1,080, where it formed a base. Since then, price action has turned range bound between ₹ 1,100– ₹ 1,300, forming a rectangular consolidation on the weekly chart," Mishra observed.
"The long-term EMA continues to slope upward, confirming that the broader trend remains bullish. On the downside, the ₹ 1,080– ₹ 1,100 zone will act as a strong support area, with immediate support around 1190. The fresh buoyancy in the FMCG pack is added positively," Mishra said.

US-based Electric vehicle giant Tesla is preparing to open its second showroom in India—this time in the national capital. After launching in Mumbai, the company has chosen Delhi's Aerocity, a high-end commercial area near the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, for its next location. According to a report by CNBC-TV18, the new showroom is scheduled to open on August 11. This move comes shortly after Tesla introduced its Model Y in India. On the same day, Tesla also activated its official India website, which initially allowed users to register interest only from Mumbai, Delhi, and Gurugram. First showroom in Mumbai's BKC Tesla's entry into the Indian market began with the opening of its first showroom in Maker Maxity Mall, located in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). Two versions of the Model Y, imported from Tesla's Shanghai plant, are currently being showcased there. The company expects to start deliveries for the rear-wheel drive variant by the end of the third quarter. Customers opting for the long-range version can expect to receive their vehicles in the fourth quarter. Tesla Model Y: Variants & prices Tesla has officially introduced two variants of the Model Y in India: a rear-wheel drive (RWD) version and a long-range RWD variant. The base RWD model is priced at ₹59.89 lakh, while the long-range version comes in at ₹67.89 lakh. Including additional costs, the on-road price of the RWD model is ₹61.07 lakh, whereas the long-range variant reaches ₹69.15 lakh. Buyers of the rear-wheel-drive Model Y can choose between two battery pack sizes — 60 kWh and 75 kWh. This version features a single electric motor, delivering around 295 horsepower. The 60 kWh battery offers an estimated WLTP-certified range of up to 500 km on a full charge. Meanwhile, the long-range version is expected to deliver a higher range of approximately 622 km.

Where are India's super-rich investing their wealth?
India's uber-rich still favour real estate and gold as investments, according to a report by the global equity research and brokerage firm Bernstein. The report also said that the top one per cent hold nearly 60 per cent of the country's wealth, signalling a concerning disparity read more India's richest still choose real estate and gold to park their wealth, according to a report by the global equity research and brokerage firm Bernstein. There is also growing wealth inequality in the country. The top one per cent holds 60 per cent of India's wealth. The firm also pointed out that the rich will keep on becoming wealthier due to this highly concentrated nature of household wealth. Let's take a closer look. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD How India's uber-wealthy split their wealth About 60 per cent of the wealth possessed by India's uber-rich is held in real estate and gold, ANI reported, citing Bernstein. The uber-rich includes Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNI), High Net Worth Individuals (HNI), and the affluent class. As per the report, India's wealthiest own around $2.7 trillion in serviceable assets, while approximately 60 per cent of wealth is still parked in real estate and gold. India's total household assets are valued at $19.6 trillion, of which 59 per cent or $11.6 trillion is held by the uber-rich. About 60 per cent of the wealth possessed by India's uber-rich is held in physical assets such as real estate and gold. Representational Image/Reuters This top wealth bracket makes up for just one per cent of Indian households. However, they own 60 per cent of the total assets and 70 per cent of the financial assets of the country. About $8.9 trillion owned by India's wealthiest is in the form of non-serviceable assets such as physical real estate, gold, promoter equity, and currency assets. These are traditionally not managed by wealth managers or are harder to reallocate. Just $2.7 trillion of the wealth owned by India's richest is held in serviceable financial assets like direct equity, mutual funds, insurance, and bank or government deposits, as per Bernstein. India's uber-rich There are around 35,000 Ultra High Net Worth Individuals in India with a net worth of more than $12 million. The average income of these uber-rich households is $4.8 million, and they have average assets of $54 million, including $24 million in financial assets. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Combined, India's richest own $4.5 trillion in financial assets, nearly 70 per cent of the total financial assets. The firm also mentioned that there is a growing opportunity for Indian wealth managers, particularly in providing services to the country's ultra-wealthy households. 'With rising return expectations and product complexity, demand for professional advice is growing. We see specialised wealth managers benefiting, with a long growth runway. We expect specialised wealth managers to expand from $300 billion in assets under management (11 per cent share) to $1.6 trillion over the next decade, implying an 18 per cent+ CAGR,' said Bernstein. India's wealth disparity According to the report, while income disparity in India is notable, wealth disparity is even more prominent. The top one per cent earns 40 per cent of all income, while the rest hold a small portion of both income and assets. As per a study, the income inequality in India is among the highest in the world, even starker than the United States, Brazil, and South Africa. 'Although growth will continue to create opportunities across the pyramid, we think the rich will get richer. India's uber-rich – an estimated nearly three million households – hold $2.7 trillion in liquid financial wealth, by our estimates,' said Bernstein.
