Indian Stock Markets

Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty resumed their downward journey to end nearly 1 per cent lower in the last trading session on Friday, weighed down by widespread sell-off and the rupee hitting a record low against the US dollar. Besides, investors rushing to safe-haven assets and unabated foreign capital outflows in the absence of domestic triggers dampened investor confidence, traders said.

In 2025, Indian equity benchmark index Nifty pulled off an unprecedented 10th consecutive year of positive returns, closing 2025 with about 10.5% gain despite a cocktail of challenges that would have buckled most markets — India-Pakistan tensions, Trump tariffs, the rupee breaching 91 against the dollar, and persistent concerns around the mismatch between valuations and earnings growth.

The last time Nifty delivered a negative return was in 2015, when the index fell 4%. Since then, every single calendar year has ended in the green, with the highest gain of 29% recorded in 2017.

The year was marked by ferocious FII selling of around $18 billion as foreign liquidity pivoted to other global equity markets, including China, Japan, Europe and the USA. But domestic investors kept the faith, with SIP flows alone surging to approximately Rs 3.2 lakh crore in CY25.
