Indian stock market indices, including the Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex, closed higher on December 31, 2025, marking a positive end to the trading year. Experts anticipate steady growth in 2026, driven by recovering corporate earnings, renewed private investment, and supportive government policies. While near-term trading may be sideways due to holidays, a favorable backdrop for Indian equities is expected with improving earnings visibility and potential foreign institutional investor inflows.
