The Indian equity markets showed a measured yet resilient performance, with Nifty 50 gaining approximately 11.1% and BSE Sensex gaining approximately 10.1% between April and December 2025.

Supportive government measures such as personal income tax cuts, GST overhaul, easing of monetary policy, receding inflation, and improved corporate performance in Q2 FY26, alongside sustained domestic investor participation, contributed to market resilience.

The primary markets remained resilient and vibrant in FY26 (up to December 2025), leading globally in IPO issuances. IPO volumes were 20% higher than FY25, with a 10% increase in the amount mobilised.

Retail investor participation has broadened significantly, with 235 lakh demat accounts added in FY26 (till December 2025), pushing the total beyond 21.6 crore. The unique investor mark crossed 12 crore in September 2025, with women making up nearly a fourth.

The Securities Markets Code, 2025, is an important step towards consolidating the legal framework and strengthening securities market regulation. It covers aspects like board composition, transparency, investor protection, and the governance of market infrastructure institutions.

DIIs have played a crucial role in counterbalancing the volatility of foreign capital outflows, providing significant support to the markets. Their ownership in NSE-listed equities stood at 18.7% as of September 2025, and they have consistently been net buyers.
