In 2024, Indian stock market investors saw a massive wealth increase of Rs 77.66 lakh crore, driven by strong performance of the BSE Sensex and Nifty, despite challenges like foreign fund outflows and global market volatility.

Stock Market Shines in 2024: Investors Gain Rs 77.66 Lakh Crore

The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 5,898.75 points or 8.16 per cent this year. The BSE benchmark index hit its all-time high of 85,978.25 on September 27.

Stock market investors became richer by a whopping Rs 77.66 lakh crore in 2024, helped by an overall optimistic trend in equities, where the BSE Sensex surged over 8 per cent.
Analysts said the year witnessed a tug of war between the bulls and bears marked by volatility but, despite the uncertainties around the world, the Indian markets sustained the pressure and delivered impressive returns.
"The year 2024 has been a challenging yet rewarding one for the markets. The Nifty steadily climbed from January to September, reaching a historic high of 26,277.35, before giving up some gains to still close the year with an impressive rise. This marked Nifty's ninth consecutive year of positive returns, despite FIIs selling shares," Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said.
The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 5,898.75 points or 8.16 per cent this year. The BSE benchmark index hit its all-time high of 85,978.25 on September 27.
Thanks to the overall optimistic trend in equities, the market capitalisation (mcap) of BSE-listed firms surged Rs 77,66,260.19 crore to Rs 4,41,95,106.44 crore (USD 5.16 trillion) in 2024.
The market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies hit the coveted Rs 400-lakh crore mark for the first time on April 8 this year. The market cap of these firms had hit the Rs 300-lakh crore mark in July last year.
"Early in the year, a combination of anticipated inflation moderation, expected interest rate cuts, and optimism surrounding the BJP's re-election fuelled a strong rally, pushing indices to record highs. However, the election results, while favouring the BJP, fell short of a complete landslide, leading to a brief market correction.
"Subsequently, the unwinding of the Yen carry trade in August, a global phenomenon where investors borrowed in low-yielding currencies like Yen to invest in higher-yielding assets, triggered another round of volatility. Despite these setbacks, the market staged a recovery, reaching new peaks in September," Amnish Aggarwal, Director - Research, Institutional Equities, PL Capital - Prabhudas Lilladher, said.
The euphoria was short-lived, Aggarwal said, adding that a confluence of factors, including significant FII outflows in October, heightened global uncertainties following the US presidential election, and rising inflationary pressures, led to a sharp correction in the Nifty.
"While the Federal Reserve has begun cutting interest rates, recent commentary on slower and lesser cuts in 2025 has led to some disappointment," he said.
Markets came under bear attack from October onwards amid worries over foreign investors fleeing the domestic market and stretched valuations of the equities.
In October alone, the BSE benchmark slumped 4,910.72 points or 5.82 per cent.
October saw an unprecedented foreign fund outflow of Rs 94,017 crore -- the largest monthly withdrawal on record -- amid increased allocations to China, muted corporate earnings, and high valuation of Indian stocks.
"While Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) engaged in profit-booking due to high valuations, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) consistently supported the market," Palka Arora Chopra, Director, Master Capital Services Ltd, said.
The Sensex made monthly gains in eight months this year. On a monthly basis, the Sensex gave negative returns in January, May, October and December.
Heavy retail investors' participation played a significant role in the market's positive trend this year.
Also, a number of mainboard Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and listing of shares imparted optimism in the equity markets.
Reliance Industries is the country's most valued firm with a market valuation of Rs 16,44,792.26 crore, followed by Tata Consultancy Services (Rs 14,82,402.82 crore), HDFC Bank (Rs 13,55,520.10 crore), ICICI Bank (Rs 9,04,975.61 crore) and Bharti Airtel (Rs 9,04,583.72 crore) in the top-five order.
In 2023, the market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies climbed sharply by Rs 81.90 lakh crore. Investors became richer by more than Rs 16.38 lakh crore in 2022.

Invest Smart: Mistakes that investors must avoid 

In this episode of Invest Smart, PV Subramanyam CEO, Subramoney and Editorji's Avni Raja discuss some of the common mistakes that investors make and how to avoid them

In the ever-changing landscape of investments, avoiding pitfalls is crucial for safeguarding your hard-earned money. In this episode of Invest Smart, seasoned financial expert PV Subramanyam sheds light on some of the most common mistakes investors make, potentially jeopardizing their financial stability. In this article, we break down Subramanyam's insights to help you navigate the intricate world of investments wisely.
One of the most significant mistakes investors make is venturing into the market without adequate knowledge. Subramanyam emphasized the importance of understanding your investment goals and knowing whether to seek professional advice. Blindly investing based on blogs or videos, especially for substantial sums, can lead to significant financial losses.
Distinguishing between investing and trading is vital. Investors generally have a long-term perspective, allowing them to weather market fluctuations. Traders, on the other hand, engage in frequent buying and selling, requiring constant vigilance. Being clear about your approach helps you make appropriate decisions aligned with your risk tolerance, he added.&nbsp;
Your investment horizon significantly impacts your asset allocation. Subramanyam said short-term goals might necessitate a more conservative approach, involving a mix of equity and debt. For long-term goals, equities are a preferred choice, given their potential for higher returns over extended periods, despite market volatility.
Another important aspect as per Subramanyam is to assume that inflation will always remain stable. He emphasized that your investment returns must consistently outpace inflation to preserve your purchasing power. Failing to do so could erode your wealth over time.
Successful investing requires a combination of knowledge, patience, and emotional discipline. By understanding these common pitfalls investors can make informed decisions, safeguarding their financial futures.

‘Will increase allocation to India to 30%-35%’, says billionaire investor Mark Mobius

As FIIs once again turn bullish on India, billionaire investor Mark Mobius says that he views India as a long term investment. In an exclusive conversation, Mobius tells Editorji&rsquo;s Vikram Chandra that his allocation to India is likely to increase going forward

The Indian equity markets have seen a lot of volatility in the past year. Although domestic institutional investors were buying heavily, foreign institutional investors were on a selling spree in 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. In 2022, FIIs sold Indian shares worth $17.2 billion which took their aggregate holding to a multi-year low. But, since April, things have seen a dramatic change. April 2023 marked the return of the foreign institutional investors in a big way. Global investors are once again turning bullish on India.
For global investor Mark Mobius, his biggest allocations are to Taiwan and India. In fact, Mobius says, his allocation to India is likely to go up to 30% - 35% going forward. From a sectoral perspective while India has opportunities in all sectors that can be considered, software, metals and health are the billionaire investor&rsquo;s top picks. India&rsquo;s demographics and digitisation are its biggest advantages, he adds.
So, what changed? A combination of factors seems to have contributed to this change in sentiment. India&rsquo;s economy has shown resilience despite several headwinds, both domestically and globally. Even if there is some slowdown in growth, India will remain the fastest growing economy in the world. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India&rsquo;s decision to pause rates along with inflation numbers on a downward trend, fuelled expectations that the central bank would continue to remain status quo on rates for some more time.
Added to this, the rising tensions between the West and Beijing along with the fact that recovery in China hasn&rsquo;t been swift, led to a series of ramifications including investors pulling money out of China. India was the obvious alternative.
However, experts are of the view that no assumptions should be made from the recent spurt in FII buying. Instead FII behaviour over the longer term should be observed before reaching any conclusions.
