Investing.com -- Raamdeo Agrawal, Chairman of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd (NS:MOFS), said that he sees the BSE Sensex 30 growing to 200,000 in 10 years. He says a healthy growth in corporate profits at 15% CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) aided by favourable demographics will help quadruple the Sensex from current levels.

 He cautioned investors to not bet against India at a virtual event organized by the firm. He said, ““I have seen Sensex move from 100 to 52,000 now in the last 40 years...it doesn’t go in a straight line...there can be speed and slowdowns...India is an amazing opportunity.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a blip in the grand scheme of things and it has been painful but right now it is a known beast compared to last year when the first wave had hit the world. Fiscal policies to help revive the economy are bearing fruit and vaccination drives are marking the beginning of the end of the pandemic.

“Fiscal response of the government is clearly visible ... RBI is ensuring sufficient liquidity,” said Agrawal. “We expect a Kshaped recovery in some sectors and larger businesses will recover faster,” he added.

He added that India’s strong democratic structure plus the young population in the country will continue to drive growth to boost the Sensex to 200,000.
