Indian Stock Market Performance in 2025
So far in 2025, the equity indices have eked out gains for investors, even as they have turned negative for the year. While Nifty 50 is up nearly 3%, its BSE counterpart, Sensex, has gained almost 2%.
Monthly Performance
The monthly performance has been evenly split. Both indices have gained in four months and lost in four months this year. In August, Sensex declined 1.7% after a nearly 3% fall in July.
Factors Affecting the Indian Stock Market
However, prior to that, it gained from March to June, adding nearly 14%. February and January again were weaker months. As tariffs slapped by the US are expected to shape the Indian stock market’s narrative, analysts remain cautious. However, GST reforms and any trend reversal from FIIs pose risks to the downside.
