The period from June 9, 2024, to June 6, 2025 has been quite an eventful period for the Indian stock market. It was a time of big ups and downs, with different parts of the market performing very differently. The government's continued focus on managing its finances carefully was a major theme.
The government aimed to balance economic growth with keeping the national debt in check. This strategy helped certain sectors like defence, capital goods (companies making machinery), and electric vehicles do very well. However, global issues and high stock prices made sectors like IT, some public sector companies, and auto stocks struggle.
Despite global trade worries, especially with renewed tariffs, the Modi administration strongly pushed for "Make in India" in defence. The success of "Operation Sindoor" has successfully highlighted India's growing ability to produce its own defence equipment.
Locally, Indian investors (Domestic Institutional Investors or DIIs) bought a lot of stocks, which helped cushion the impact of foreign investors selling their shares, especially when company earnings weren't growing much.
Here's a quick look at how major Indian stock market indices fared:
Index | Return (June 9, 2024 - June 6, 2025) |
