| The year 2025 turned out to be a challenging one for equity investors. While Nifty and Sensex were up 10.5% and 9.1% respectively, both were under-performers amongst the leading indices from the global markets. A broad-based recovery in the second half of the year helped the benchmark indices end on a positive note despite concerns over US tariff, heavy selling by foreign investors and the rupee touching a record low. |
| The broader market was subdued with small-cap stocks underperforming for the first time since 2022 due to global uncertainty. While midcap stocks remained in the positive territory, the gains were significantly lower as compared to the past two years. The under-performance in mid and small cap indices resulted in higher allocation into large-cap stocks. |
| India’s retail inflation rose in November from a record low in the prior month but stayed below the RBI’s target range for the third straight month, leaving scope for another interest rate cut. The RBI cut interest rates by 25 basis points earlier this month stating that Indian economy is in a “rare goldilocks” phase of strong economic growth and moderate inflation. In 2025, the RBI’s rate-setting panel lowered the rates by 125 bps. |
| India’s fiscal deficit widened to INR 9.77 trillion in April–November 2025–26, up from INR 8.47 trillion a year earlier, reaching 62.3% of the government’s full-year target compared with 52.5% in the same period last year. |
