From ranking as the world's tenth-largest economy in 2014 to now standing as the fifth largest, with aspirations to ascend further to become the third-largest, India's economic trajectory has been remarkable.

Despite challenges faced by major economies globally, India has demonstrated resilience, achieving an impressive 8.4% growth in Q3 FY24, reaffirming its position as the fastest-growing economy worldwide.

Multinational corporations are increasingly shifting their manufacturing operations to India. With its vast scale and potential, India emerges as a compelling alternative to China for global businesses seeking to expand their manufacturing footprint.

Against this backdrop, the Indian stock market has experienced significant growth, closely mirroring the expansion of the country itself. Starting from a market capitalisation of $1.5 trillion in 2014, representing BSE-listed firms, it has surged to over $4 trillion. 

This remarkable rally has not only propelled the Indian stock market forward but has also enabled it to overtake Hong Kong's market capitalisation last year, establishing itself as the world's fifth-largest equity market, with a global share exceeding 3.5%.

The substantial influx of retail investors injecting billions of rupees into Indian stocks has bolstered market stability, reducing volatility in the face of FPI outflows.
