Today, the Nifty 50 crossed its all-time hight briefly - driven by three strong tailwinds: robust corporate earnings, deep tax cuts, and renewed interest from overseas investors. From July to September, India Inc posted strong profit growth, and analysts expect the momentum to continue into 2026 with projected growth of nearly 16 percent. In September, the government slashed GST on 99% of goods, giving businesses a break and boosting consumer‑facing sectors. Meanwhile, foreign funds made a marked return, becoming net buyers in October with inflows of about $1.3 billion - a reversal of prior trends. Research firm Morgan Stanley has raised its India outlook, forecasting India’s Sensex could cross 100,000 by end‑2026. The bank points to rising private investment, stronger banks and broad‑based GDP growth as the pillars of a structural reset in Indian markets. Of course, risks remain-an American slowdown, oil spikes above $100 per barrel, or renewed trade tension could dampen the rally. But for now, India’s fundamentals are strong, sentiment is positive, and the market may be gearing up for its next sustained phase.
