Indian stock markets witnessed a sharp rebound, adding ₹13.82 lakh crore to investors’ wealth over three consecutive sessions after last week’s correction in benchmark indices.
The rally pushed the market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms beyond ₹400 lakh crore, marking a significant recovery after nearly a month.
On Wednesday, the 30-share BSE Sensex rose by 147.79 points or 0.20% to close at 75,449.05. Over the last three sessions, the index has surged by 1,620.14 points, reflecting a 2.19% jump. The bullish trend across equities fueled investor confidence, driving market capitalisation higher.
The total market capitalisation of companies listed on the BSE soared by ₹13,82,485.7 crore, reaching ₹4,05,00,918.63 crore (approximately USD 4.68 trillion). This marks the first time in nearly a month that the market capitalisation has reclaimed the ₹400 lakh crore level.
Foreign and domestic institutional investors played a crucial role in fueling the market rally by injecting fresh liquidity.
On Wednesday, March 19, 2025, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) remained net sellers, offloading equities worth ₹1,096.50 crores, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained bullish with net purchases totalling ₹2,140.76 crores, further boosting investor sentiment.
The Indian stock market’s strong rebound, driven by bullish investor sentiment and institutional support, has pushed market capitalisation past ₹400 lakh crore.
Despite FIIs turning net sellers, robust DII buying sustained the rally. With the Sensex gaining over 1,600 points in three sessions, the outlook remains optimistic as markets continue to track global trends and domestic economic factors.
