High Yield Stocks of India

Can you guess what the fourth largest economy in the world is by purchasing power parity? Not the United States, not China. It is India, which also happens to be the second fastest growing major economy in the world. If you think tech is their biggest industry, you would be wrong. IT accounts for only about 1% of the total GDP; however, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. It also has the fourth-largest reserves in the world of coal.
