G Chokkalingam, founder and MD of Equinomics Research, on Tuesday said there's no fear in the headline indices (BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty) as they've gone up around 9 per cent in the current financial year. Although, we are concerned about the broader indices and highly nervous about bubbles in the small- and mid-cap space as they gone up by over four times compared to the rise seen in headline peers, Chokkalingam told BT TV.

He also suggested buying Maruti Suzuki India and HDFC Bank on the decline.

In the mid-cap IT space, the market veteran picked Mindteck (India) as the counter didn't "participate in recent broader indices' rally."

Coal India and Oil India were also among his top picks.

Meanwhile, Indian equity benchmarks traded lower in early trade today amid a highly volatile session. The domestic indices were dragged by metals, state-owned banks, consumer, automobile and energy stocks. Broader markets (mid- and small-cap shares) also felt the pain today.
