<h2><strong>Increasing Demand for Cooling Products</strong></h2>
<p>Heat waves are accelerating the penetration of many cooling products like air conditioners and refrigerators," Vaibhav Sanghavi, a hedge fund manager at ASK Group told Bloomberg. “We will see sustained growth in these companies as demand is robust, but it will be important to see if it reflects in margins too."</p>
<h3><strong>Impact of Extreme Weather on Market Dynamics</strong></h3>
<p>India recorded its highest temperature of 50C (122F) in Rajasthan on Saturday, May 25. The hot spell coincides with the nation’s weekslong Lok Sabha elections that have drawn millions of voters to campaign rallies and polling stations. This heightened activity is expected to further amplify the impact of extreme weather and drive up demand for heat-combating products, as per the report.</p>
<h2><strong>Notable Stock Performances</strong></h2>
<p>Shares of aircon maker Voltas and Havells have rallied more than 20 per cent this quarter so far, while Tata Power has seen a 33 per cent increase, as per the report.</p>
<p>Product inventory “has started to disappear from our warehouses," Voltas’ Chief Financial Officer Jitender Verma said after the company’s fourth-quarter earnings on May 3. “I am sure no matter how good a planner you are, I don’t think this kind of growth would have been planned by anybody," he said.</p>
<h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3>
<p>The ongoing heatwave in India is significantly impacting the stock market, particularly for companies involved in cooling products and power generation. While the demand surge is promising, investors should be cautious of the rising valuations. The future outlook remains optimistic, provided the demand continues to reflect in profit margins.</p>
