The Eye of BRIC: Top India Stocks


Actually, the title of this article should have been the I of BRIC, since I stands for India. The B is Brazil, the R is Russia, and C for China.

India is the most populous democracy in the world and the fourth largest economy in the world is by GDP purchasing power parity. India's automobile industry is the world's second-fastest growing, and it has increased domestic sales by 26% during the 2009 to 2010 time frame. Speaking of cars, did you see the $4.6 million Tata (TTM) Nano automobile? It is covered in gold.

Tata Motors trades at 27 times forward earnings and sports a yield of 2.5%. It has an extremely low price to earnings growth ratio of 0.14. Revenues for the latest quarter were up 24% with flat earnings. Tata also makes and markets utility vehicles, trucks, buses, and defense vehicles. It produces gasoline, electric and hybrid vehicles.
