😱 You’re Not Poor. You Just Don’t Own PSU Stocks.

🟢 At a Glance:

In 2024–25, while you were fighting with Swiggy over a ₹12 refund, PSU stocks were quietly turning India’s boring investors into dividend-funded demigods. From Power Grid to BEL, GAIL to BHEL — if you didn’t own at least one of them, you weren’t investing… you were just observing wealth creation from a distance.

📈 The PSU Flex: Quietly Rich, Silently Savage

Everyone laughed at PSU stocks for years.
“Too slow.” “Govt interference.” “Boring returns.”
Now?

Stock	1Y Return	Dividend Yield	Vibe
Power Grid	+78%	5.3%	Full voltage 💡
BEL	+112%	1.6%	Defence darling 🔫
GAIL	+65%	6.7%	Gas + Cash = 💸
BHEL	+144%	1.2%	Boiler ban gaya bomb
Coal India	+54%	7.8%	Ugly duckling, dividend swan
HAL	+210%	1.5%	Jet fuel for your PF

These stocks didn’t just rise. They pumped harder than

mid-day option traders on a caffeine overdose.

🏛️ PSU Stocks = Desi Boomer Bitcoin?

Strong balance sheets
Free cash flow factories
Monopoly status in infra/energy/defence
Government backing (until they dump it)
And now, they’re suddenly “woke” to capital markets

Earlier: “Safe but boring.”
Now: “Sexy but government-owned.”
