India's equity market has stayed resilient through global volatility, with benchmark indices moving back towards record highs after the Reserve Bank of India announced a rate cut earlier this week. Against this backdrop, domestic brokerage Sharekhan has identified five long-term stocks it believes are best placed to deliver steady growth, strong earnings visibility and up to 27 per cent upside from current levels. The list spans IT, FMCG, consumer durables and metals - chosen for their brand strength, financial discipline and resilient demand outlook. Sharekhan notes that despite market valuations running ahead of historical averages, several companies continue to offer a compelling blend of stable cash flows, expanding margins and structural industry tailwinds. Its long-term delivery list includes Blue Star, Infosys, Gravita India, Godrej Consumer Products and Emami - all of which have maintained strong fundamentals across cycles.
