India's Share in Global Market Capitalization Drops Below 3% Amid Equity Market Decline

India's share in global market capitalization has fallen below 3% for the first time in four years, declining from a peak of over 4.2% in late 2024 due to underperformance in domestic equities. Factors include weak corporate earnings, expensive valuations, and sustained foreign portfolio investor selling amid geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns. While India remains the fifth-largest market globally, peers like China, Taiwan, and South Korea have increased their market shares, driven by sector-specific rallies.
