For Samvat 2081, Dalal & Broacha's report said, "India is on a strong wicket as evident from shrinking current account deficit, stable economic growth, rising manufacturing and relatively stable INR. BJP coming to power at the Centre for the next 5 years has given a sense of political stability and to expectations of continued thrust on infrastructure spending and other economic reforms. Last year also saw the rise and power of domestic retail investors. In the last 12 months, FIIs have sold more than USD 26 bn., with October 2024 alone accounting for USD 12 bn."

Given the strong gains of the last year, some "cooling off" cannot be ruled out for the next few months. However, as earnings grow and markets start discounting FY2027 earnings, we expect the upward momentum to start, the broker said.
