While, the BSE MidCap index and BSE SmallCap index hit new record highs in today's session, with the mid-cap index rising 0.70% to a record of 34,498 and the small-cap index soaring 0.86% to a historic high of 40,718. Year-to-date, both indices have surged by over 35%.
The spotlight throughout the year has been on mid and small-cap stocks consistently achieving record highs, hitting upper-circuit limit, and crossing substantial market capitalisation milestone. The remarkable performance of these stocks can be attributed to the surge in retail investing, enabling smaller stocks to outshine their larger counterparts.
Additionally, companies in this segment are reaping the benefits of the ongoing recovery in India's capital expenditure.
Bolstering this positive trend, the Indian economy demonstrated robust growth, expanding by 7.6% in the September quarter of the fiscal year. This exceeded analysts' estimates, primarily fueled by the stellar performance of the manufacturing, mining, and services sectors.
This solidifies India's position as the fastest-growing large economy as China posted 4.9% growth in July–September 2023.
