When we talk about government stocks in India, we're referring to the shares of companies that are either owned or controlled by the central or state governments. These entities are Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) or Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs).
So, what makes a company a PSU or PSE? The defining characteristic is the government's ownership stake. If the government owns at least 51% stake in the company, it's classified as a government stock. Ownership less than that or cases where the government once may have held more than 51% stake but divested its holdings over time below that threshold does not count.
Government stocks are traded on the stock exchanges of India, NSE and BSE. These companies have a particular index in the stock exchanges such as NIFTY PSE, NIFTY PSU Bank, S&P BSE PSU, etc. These indexes constitute a list of government companies or PSUs and will track the performance of these stocks.
The process of investing in these stocks is similar to investing in any other stock. The list of all government companies' shares can be easily accessible on any online stock exchange website, or you can simply invest in government stocks through INDmoney..
Investing in government company stocks can provide numerous benefits to an investor and, at the same time, diversify their portfolio.
Yes, diversification is crucial. While PSU stocks offer stability, spread your investments across sectors and asset classes to manage risk.
PSU stocks may exhibit lower volatility compared to the broader market during economic downturns. However, their performance can still be affected.
PSU stocks can be a valuable addition to your portfolio, offering stability, regular income, and long-term growth potential.
Changes in government policies can significantly impact specific PSU sectors. Stay informed about policy changes that might affect your investments.
Research the company's financial statements, dividend history, future plans, and industry trends before making an investment decision.
