The brokerage said that India's energy security has come under pressure twice in quick succession — first due to disruptions in Russian oil supplies and more recently due to the Iran conflict.

While India remains resource-constrained in oil and gas, it is relatively well-endowed in coal and solar energy. As a result, electrification emerges as a key long-term solution, according to the brokerage.

Bernstein added that policy focus is likely to remain on accelerating thermal and nuclear capacity, alongside strengthening renewables, storage, and grid infrastructure.

According to the brokerage, the most attractive opportunities lie in thermal, nuclear, storage, and grid-linked companies, rather than pure-play renewable players.

On Tuesday, Adani Power shares rose 1.59% to ₹150.20, JSW Energy gained 0.55% to ₹485.35, while Tata Power declined 0.50% to ₹385. NTPC Green Energy fell 1.42% to ₹95.50.Continue ReadingNote To ReadersDisclaimer: The views and investment tips expressed by investment experts on CNBCTV18.com are their own and not that of the website or its management.
