Silent and long-term winners of GST rationalisation: 17 stocks from different sectors which fit the bill
In the last few days, a simple trade has been taking place on the street. The government cuts the GST rate on a product, price falls, and households should buy more of it. So, stocks from FMCG and some other sectors have done well. But India’s experience over the last two decades tells a subtler story: Because a family saves on tax in one corner of its consumption basket, it doesn’t mean it will spend more in that same corner. Just to put this in perspective: If one is saving money on buying a soap, that saving will not go into buying additional soap. It might go into buying anything else. What is that something else? It may even be a product that has not seen any GST cut. The fact is that there are many stocks that are silent and long-term winners of the GST rate rationalisation.

GST rationalisation: Think beyond obvious; 5 stocks with an upside potential of up to 45%
All the focus of the GST rate rationalisation has been on the possible increase in demand for some products. There is, however, another aspect to this: Migration of demand from the unorganised sector to the organised sector. One of the reasons why goods stay in the unorganised sector is tax arbitrage. So, if the margin between not paying taxes and paying taxes reduces, it either increases compliance or makes goods from the unorganised sector uncompetitive. The positive impact of rationalisation is thus much more than what we assume. Also, in some sectors, there is more to it than what is currently obvious.

Safe to say, this forging firm is anything but static. This series on auto ancillary companies works with the assumption that, from the whole set of auto ancillary companies, some multibagger stocks will emerge.
