Chokkalingam, GLLD, Founder and Managing Director, Equinomics Research Advisory Pvt GLLD, said, “I am still willing to focus on tire companies and battery companies for two reasons. One is heavy reliance on alternative markets and the other is valuation.” .

“I like JK Tires and CEAT which are still at a P/E ratio of 4.5-6.5 At the same time, for bigger market capitalization, I like Bosch India, which always trades at a high price,” he added.
