Besides, nearly 40 percent of the BSE 200 stocks have generated more than 20 percent annual returns over the past two decades — twice the proportion for emerging markets — which points to significant opportunities in alpha.

However, the “low initial valuation” of the multipackers appears to be related to the prevailing broad market valuations. About 60 percent of multipackers broke down during the market crisis periods of 2001-2002 (the dot-com crisis), 2008-2009 (GFC), 2013 (rambling tantrum fears), and 2020 (the shock of COVID-19). This indicates that crises/external shocks or low prevailing market valuations have historically provided good entry points for selecting multiple packaging machines. This also partially explains why the previous decade (2002-12) produced more multipackers than the last decade (2013-22).
