Since the formation of the new government, Indian stock market have been surging to unprecedented heights, setting new records almost daily and outperforming global benchmarks.
In a significant milestone, India has once again secured its position as the fourth-largest global equity market, surpassing Hong Kong.
The market capitalisation of India’s BSE-listed companies skyrocketed by 10 percent, reaching an impressive $5.2 trillion.
This achievement comes at a time when Hong Kong’s equity market cap has dipped to $5.17 trillion, a decrease of 5.4 percent from its peak earlier this year.
On a price-to-book basis, India stands at three times, whereas Hong Kong lags far behind at one time.
This stark contrast underscores India’s robust performance and attractiveness to investors seeking growth opportunities.
The surge in the National Stock Exchange (NSE) benchmark Nifty has driven the rally in the Indian stock market, with a nearly 6 percent rise in the last month and an impressive 11.84 percent surge over the past six months.
Prabhudas Lilladher Forecasts Sustained Economic Growth Under BJP-led NDA Government
Analysts project further growth, with expectations that the Nifty could reach 25,816 within the next 12 months.
Market experts from Prabhudas Lilladher anticipate sustained economic growth under the BJP-led NDA government, emphasizing capital expenditure in sectors such as production-linked incentives (PLI), infrastructure development, and green energy.
Factors such as a projected 20 basis points reduction in fiscal deficit for FY24, favorable monsoon forecasts, and anticipated dividends from the RBI are expected to bolster investor confidence further.
The government’s focus on bolstering sectors crucial to economic growth, including agriculture, infrastructure, and welfare initiatives for farmers and the urban poor, is pivotal in maintaining economic momentum amid global uncertainties.
This strategic approach aims to mitigate potential risks associated with recent electoral outcomes in certain states, emphasizing a commitment to inclusive growth.
Moreover, the current bull market in India has witnessed substantial participation from retail investors, including High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs).
This surge in retail investor confidence has overshadowed large-scale selling by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), highlighting the resilience and depth of domestic investor sentiment.
