Experts are of the view that risks arising out of the energy crisis will be transitory, and the long-term story of Indian markets remains intact.

“For long-term equity investors, risks pertaining to global factors pertaining to rising energy prices, continuing semiconductor shortages, and new supply-side disruptions may be transitory,” Aashwin Dugal, Co-Chief Business Officer, Nippon India Mutual Fund, said.
“Good news on the SIP front continues with monthly input value finally crossing Rs. 10,000 cr in September. This is heartening as this is a significant jump from Rs.8,000 the SIP book had shrunk to a year back. This clearly highlights improving appetite from retail as well as HNIs,” he said.
