conditions since they are less volatile than other mid-cap and small-cap equities. Blue

Long-term and cautious investors favour blue chip stocks since they are the most
dependable when it comes to solid returns. Blue chip stocks offer stable returns and
comparatively lower returns than other equities, even though they may not offer as

reducing the dividend payout. They reward the shareholders for their investments and
faith in them by paying dividends from the profit they had achieved.

A blue chip stock has a market value of more than 20,000 crores, making them pricey
due to their high valuation. The State Bank of India, Bharti Airtel, Tata Consultancy
Services, Reliance Industries, Coal India, HDFC, ITC, Infosys, ICICI Bank, ONGC,
GAIL, and Coal India are among India's top blue chip firms based on market value.
The best stocks to buy for the long term are blue chip stocks.
Given that blue chip firms see moderate but consistent growth over time, investing in
them makes more sense if you have a longer time horizon. Investors would do best to
include blue chip companies in their portfolios in order to generate a sizable return on
Due to their strong financial standing, superior management, and reduced debt, blue
chip stocks are often less risky than mid-cap and small-cap stocks. Blue chip firms are
typically debt-free or have reduced debt because they always have the money to pay
off their debt, so they only have a limited impact during market volatility or market
corrections.
development and operation of a firm. The board of directors, CFO, and CEO of blue-
chip businesses are well-known for their industry knowledge and extensive
experience.

Blue chip firms consistently pay dividends to their owners, regardless of the state of
the market. This is one of the best ways to generate passive income.
The least amount of work is required from you because blue chip stocks don't
fluctuate as much as other types of securities and because you don't need to routinely
Portfolio diversification: To create a diverse portfolio, you must include blue chip
stocks with solid fundamentals and potential for future growth. Your asset allocation
in the portfolio depends on how much risk you are willing to accept; if you are a
conservative investor, you can put the majority of your funds to blue-chip stocks.
Costly: Due to their strong market position and the rarity of blue chip companies with
low P/E ratios, blue chip stocks are generally more expensive than other types of
securities. As a result, blue chip stock share prices can be prohibitive for novice
investors.
Low returns: Blue chip firms have been around for a while and have already grown to
their full potential. Therefore, while stock prices won't increase exponentially in the
near future, they will deliver exceptional returns over the course of years or decades.
Growth: Blue chip corporations might not expand as quickly as comparable small-
and mid-cap firms. They occasionally provide a smaller they occasionally offer a
lower return than the benchmark index. For instance, ITC has a reputation for
exhibiting moderate and consistent growth on the stock market; nonetheless, the

Although long-term investments are undoubtedly superior to other types of
investments, you shouldn't overspend your investment budget hastily. Instead, pick a
specific sum and spread it among several reputable stocks. Spend your money evenly
across several high-performing stocks and shares rather than just one stock.
Shares of very large, well-known corporations with a track record of reliable financial
performance are known as "blue chip stocks." These stocks have a reputation for
being able to withstand challenging market situations and deliver strong returns
during favourable market conditions. Blue chip companies typically have high stock
prices since they have a solid reputation and frequently dominate their respective
markets.

their track records and performance histories, investors typically view blue-chip
stocks as among the safest stock investments. The notion is that blue-chips will be

the market eventually recovers, even though they are not immune to losses if the

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Narayanan B (2013)
A blue chip stock is the stock of a reputable business with consistent earnings and
little liabilities. The phrase comes from casinos, where the highest-valued counters are
represented by blue chips. Even when business is performing worse than usual, the
majority of blue chip stocks continue to pay monthly dividends. Despite their
typically high share prices, they are coveted by investors wanting a certain level of
stability and safety. Such equities are frequently seen as providing steady returns, a
low yield, and low risk. The NSE archives were used to gather the data. The
shareholders of the chosen blue chip companies listed on the NSE and to forecast

Blue-chip stocks, red-chip stocks, and blue-chip stocks have all emerged on the stock
market as a result of the domestic stock market's ongoing development and progress.
This study uses the Shanghai-Shenzhen 300 Index's blue-chip stocks as the research
sample and the A-share market's blue-chip stocks as the research object to examine
the factors that affect the blue-chip stock yield in the A-share market. The empirical
findings indicate that the market interest rate, firm size, net asset growth rate,
ownership structure, and valuation are the characteristics that have the greatest impact

metrics. This paper discusses many characteristics and screening standards for the
finest Blue chip stocks. According to the studies, blue chip stocks are the greatest for
long-term returns and portfolio diversity, albeit having some drawbacks. These
equities have performed remarkably well during the current economic crisis.
The Indian stock market has a similar history to the global stock market in terms of
crashes and recoveries. Due to the "Harshad Mehta Scam," the Sensex fell 53% in
1992, yet it quickly rose 127%. It decreased by 40% over four years due to the "Asian
Crisis" of 1996 before rising by 115% in just one year. During the "Tech Bubble" of
2000, it fell by 56% in just over a year before rising by 138% over the following two
and a half years. In less than three months, the current market has lost about 30% of
its value. It is impossible to forecast when the economy will resume its normal course
because of COVID-19. Even some analysts draw comparisons between the current
economic collapse and the "Great Depression" of the 20th century. The goal of this
research is to determine the three blue-chip equities that performed the best on the
Indian stock market during the COVID-19 crisis and to discuss the factors that
correlated nature of the research. All the companies listed on the National Stock
Exchange (NSE) in 2020 make up the statistical population of the study, and the most
reliable blue-chip stocks from the population have been selected via systematic
elimination. The appropriate industries have been assigned to a few chosen stocks.
