Indian Markets Rally on Final Trading Day

Indian Markets Rally on Final Trading Day

On the last trading day of 2025, Indian stock markets had a big jump.

The Sensex and Nifty went up nearly 1% because of buying by big investors in India and good performance from companies like Reliance, Tata Steel, and Kotak Bank.

This happened after a few days of declines.

Many stocks went up, while fewer went down.

Promoters and big investors like private equity and venture capital firms sold a lot of shares this year, making a lot of money.

Retail investors, who are regular people investing small amounts, have been putting a lot of money into the market and now own a big part of it.

The markets ended the year on a high note, but there are concerns about what might happen if returns stay low.

In 2025, a lot of money was raised through IPOs, but most of it was from offers-for-sale (OFS) where existing investors sold their shares, not new money for the companies.

This has led to debates about whether this is good for the market's growth.
