The Indian market trades at a 20% premium over other emerging markets, making it too pricey to jump into now, says Adrian Mowat, JP Morgan's chief Asian equities strategist. Jon Thorn, a portfolio manager at India Capital Fund, disagrees. "The long-term case for investing there is without question the best in the world.
