From Holi 2014 to Holi 2024: Nifty 50 Skyrockets Over 200%, These 14 Stocks Surge by 3,900%
Over the span of a decade, from the festival of Holi in 2014 to Holi in 2024, the Indian stock market has witnessed an extraordinary surge, with the Nifty 50 index soaring by over 200%. Amidst global economic challenges, India has showcased remarkable resilience, achieving an impressive 8.4% growth in the third quarter of FY24, solidifying its status as the world’s fastest-growing economy.
The remarkable growth trajectory of the Indian stock market mirrors the nation’s expanding economic landscape. With a market capitalization that has surged from $1.5 trillion in 2014 to over $4 trillion, India’s equity market has emerged as a formidable force, surpassing even Hong Kong’s market capitalization last year to become the fifth-largest equity market globally.
Fueling this growth is a surge in retail investor participation, injecting substantial capital into Indian stocks and enhancing market stability. Forecasts by global brokerage firm Jefferies project the Indian equity market’s market capitalization to reach $10 trillion by 2030, reflecting the nation’s robust economic growth trajectory.
Against this backdrop, the Nifty 50 index, representing India’s top 50 blue-chip companies, has exhibited a remarkable surge of 240% since Holi in 2014, ascending from 6,494 points to 22,096 points presently. Notably, the index has maintained a bullish trend over the past decade, with only one instance of decline in CY15.
Similarly, the S&P BSE Sensex has witnessed substantial growth, surging from 22,096 points to its current value of 72,831 points, marking a significant gain of 230%. This surge underscores India’s emergence as a global economic powerhouse and reflects the nation’s robust economic fundamentals.
Amidst this bullish phase, several stocks within the Nifty 50 index have delivered exceptional returns, with 14 stocks standing out for their remarkable performances, ranging from 500% to a staggering 3,900%. Leading the pack are Bajaj Finance and Bajaj Finserv, with returns of 3913% and 2103%, respectively, over the past decade.
Other standout performers include Titan Company, Britannia Industries, Adani Enterprises, JSW Steel, Tata Consumer Products, and several others, showcasing the dynamic growth potential of India’s equity market.
Overall, the surge in the Indian stock market over the past decade underscores the nation’s economic resilience and growth prospects, positioning it as a key player in the global financial landscape.
