The Nifty 50 index surged to a new peak on Friday, buoyed by a faster-than-expected 7.6% expansion in the Indian economy during the September-quarter. This robust growth exceeded the 6.8% forecast in a Reuters poll, and the Reserve Bank of India’s estimate of 6.5%. The NSE Nifty 50 index climbed 0.52% to 20,238.45, marking a historic high, while the S&P BSE Sensex also gained 0.44% to reach 67,286.16 by 9:35 am. This surge in market indices reflects positive investor sentiment driven by the economic growth.
Pramod Gubbi, founder of Marcellus Investment Management, expressed confidence in India’s growth outlook, citing the government’s capex initiatives as potential triggers for consumption at the grassroots level.
In the midst of this bullish trend, the stock market landscape remains dynamic, with various companies and sectors making notable developments. Raymond ended a 12-day losing streak, signaling a potential turnaround in its market performance. Additionally, Cantabil exchanged 1.2% equity, while NCC secured two new orders amounting to Rs 553 crore in November.

It is essential for investors to stay mindful of these market dynamics and seize potential investment opportunities.
