Out of 500 stocks in the BSE 500 index, 37 stocks have more than doubled investor wealth in the last six months.
7 of these stocks are from the infrastructure sector, delivering strong performance relative to the benchmark indices Nifty 50 and Sensex.
Take a look at the top infrastructure stocks in BSE 500.
The Indian stock markets have been on a rally after recovering from the shock on March 23, last year, when India went into a strict nationwide lockdown. Both Nifty 50 and Sensex had tumbled by 13%, triggered by a massive sell-off.

Fast-forward a little over a year, the benchmark Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex are at an all-time high, multiplying investor wealth in a year full of uncertainties.

37 companies in the BSE 500 index have doubled investor wealth in the last six months. Among these, the infrastructure sector has been the top performer, accounting for 7 companies on its own.

In the last six months, Sensex has surged by over 15%. In comparison, these infrastructure stocks have surged by a minimum of 110%.

One of the reasons behind the infrastructure sector topping the charts could be the Indian government’s National Infrastructure Pipeline, first announced on August 15, 2019, with a budgeted outlay of ₹111 lakh crore (approx. $1.6 trillion).

Here’s a look at the infrastructure stocks which have doubled or tripled investor wealth in the last six months (between November 26, 2020 to May 27, 2021):
