Here are a couple of stock recommendations by Parag Thakkar, Senior Fund Manager at Fort Capital.

On the data centre:

The data centre seems to be a very interesting opportunity. So, Anant Raj, a disclaimer, we also have some small quantity in the portfolio. The company was reducing debt, they have large parcels of land, and now they are putting it to good use by building up data centres at a lower cost than other players. So that was a good point. To play data centres, in my view, both Reliance Industries and Adani group and L&T; L&T and Reliance are our large holding. They are also investing big in data centres. So, the theme is still emerging.

On the capital goods side, Cummins India, ABB India, Siemens, will be the beneficiaries of the data centre boom, but there we are restricted by the valuation constraint. Otherwise, that would also make sense. Siemens Energy is one stock which we have in the portfolio, but Reliance will be the big name through which we would like to play this entire new energy theme.

On Elgi Equipments

Apart from L&T, we also have other stocks which are looking interesting at this level because of US tariffs of 50% and it is a stock called Elgi Equipments, which is in our portfolio, and we are planning to add on every dip.
