India's Equity Market Shows Signs of Bottoming Amid Underperformance and Recovery Prospects

India's equity markets have underperformed compared to Korea and Taiwan, with the Nifty trailing Korea by 180 percentage points since late 2022. Experts Vikash Kumar Jain and Rohit Srivastava suggest the market may have bottomed at 23,262, supported by oversold sentiment and normalized valuations near 18-18.5 times forward earnings. While cautious about geopolitical risks like Middle East conflicts, they see potential for a gradual recovery toward 26,000 by June, highlighting selective sector opportunities amid ongoing volatility.
