Dangle Seng index (Chinese language H shares are listed in Hong Kong) is now buying and selling at a PE of about 12 whereas Nifty is buying and selling at a PE of 23 occasions estimated FY25 earnings. So, extra money can transfer to Chinese language shares. However India has significantly better progress prospects now in comparison with China and, due to this fact, India deserves premium valuations. However the valuation differential is just too large now and this may maintain the FPI promoting for some extra time,” mentioned V Ok Vijayakumar, Chief Funding Strategist, Geojit Monetary Companies.
