Nifty's journey from 1k to 21k; know the complete road map!

It took only 61 trading sessions for the Nifty50 to leap from 20,000 to 21,000 points, underscoring the rapid growth in the Indian stock market.

On December 8, 2023, Indian markets soared to unprecedented heights fueled by the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) GDP projections revision and the unwavering stance on interest rates. The Nifty50 marked a significant milestone, breaching the 21,000 mark and concluding at 20,969.4, gaining 68.25 points, or 0.33 per cent.

In the intricate realm of the Indian market, the Nifty 50 acts as a robust financial compass, guiding investors through a remarkable journey from its modest inception in 1990 to its current towering peak at 21,000 points. Representing 59 percent of the free-float market capitalization of NSE-listed stocks, the Nifty 50 mirrors the pulse of the nation's economic health.

Navigating Peaks: From Steady Ascent to Explosive Growth

The Nifty 50's ascent resembles scaling a financial mountain, marked by a steady climb in its early days—requiring 334 sessions to reach the first 1,000 points—and a subsequent explosive growth phase, conquering milestones in shorter intervals.

The table below illustrates the Nifty 50's journey through key levels:

During the climb, strategic pauses, such as the 1,609 sessions needed to move from 6,000 to 7,000 points, highlight the necessity to hold ground before reaching the next peak. However, the contrast is striking as it took only 61 trading sessions for the Nifty50 to leap from 20,000 to 21,000 points, underscoring the rapid growth in the Indian stock market.

Rapid Growth to 21,000: Catalysts Unveiled

The recent surge owes its momentum to various factors, including foreign investor inflows, robust macro data, and a decline in crude oil prices. Following the maintenance of the repo rate at 6.5 per cent, the RBI's optimistic revision of the FY24 GDP forecast to 7 per cent injected confidence. The Monetary Policy Committee's commitment to the "withdrawal of accommodation" further fueled positive sentiments, resulting in a 3.5 per cent gain for both Sensex and Nifty for the week.
