India’s benchmark stock index Sensex crossed the 80,000 mark for the first time in history on June 26, 2025, fueled by a rally in IT, banking, and auto sectors. Nifty 50 also closed at a record 24,500 points. Experts cite strong foreign institutional investment (FII), improved macroeconomic indicators, and a stable political outlook post-election as major drivers behind the surge. Leading gainers included Infosys, HDFC Bank, TCS, and Mahindra & Mahindra. Market experts believe investor confidence is rising due to India's strong GDP growth (7.8%), declining inflation, and the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to hold interest rates steady. “This rally reflects India's economic strength and global investor trust,” said Ashish Kacholia, a noted market strategist. Retail investors are advised to remain cautious, as valuations are high. However, analysts maintain a bullish outlook for the coming quarter, especially for capital goods, pharma, and energy stocks.
