Market Milestones & Era Analysis

2004–2007: The Great Bull Run

India's economic reforms, FII inflows, and strong GDP growth drove market cap from ₹13.5 L Cr to ₹68 L Cr — a 5× surge in just 4 years. Nifty crossed 6,000 for the first time. Real estate and infra stocks led.

2008: The Global Financial Crisis

Lehman Brothers collapse triggered a 53% market cap crash — from ₹68 L Cr to ₹32 L Cr. FIIs pulled out over $12 Bn. Nifty crashed from 6,100 to 2,524. The fastest and deepest correction in NSE history.

2014–2019: Modi Wave & Consolidation

BJP's landslide, GST implementation, RERA and infra spending pushed market cap from ₹72 L Cr to ₹153 L Cr. Domestic retail participation surged via SIP inflows crossing ₹8,000 Cr/month by 2019.

2020–2026: The Post-COVID Supercycle

COVID crash in March 2020 saw Nifty hit 7,511, but the recovery was the fastest ever. Stimulus, retail investor explosion (Demat accounts: 4 Cr → 18 Cr), and DII support drove market cap to ₹422 L Cr by 2026.
