On valuations, the P/E ratio of the small-cap index (Nifty Small Cap 250) is similar to that of the large-cap (Nifty 100) index, at around 19-20x on two-year forward earnings (excluded loss-making companies in the aggregates). However, the projected earnings growth for small-caps is higher, at 18% for the next couple of years versus 8-10% for large-caps. So, growth-adjusted valuations are not that expensive for small-caps.
