Top 6 Stocks to Watch if BJP Forms Govt in West Bengal  

Synopsis: Exit polls hint at a tight West Bengal contest, with a potential BJP win seen boosting infrastructure and industrial growth. Stocks like Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, Titagarh Rail Systems, and others may benefit.

The latest exit poll projections for the 2026 Assembly elections indicate a strong performance for the BJP-led NDA in Assam, with consensus among major pollsters like Axis My India and Matrize. Projections suggest the NDA could secure a comfortable majority, with some estimates placing them between 88 and 101 seats in the 126-member assembly. 

In contrast, West Bengal remains a high-stakes battleground where the contest is much tighter; while some agencies give a narrow edge to the BJP, others suggest the Trinamool Congress (TMC) still holds a significant path to victory, making the state one of the most unpredictable of this cycle. Stocks to watch:
