The Indian stock market closed the year 2025 with a bang, as Nifty crossed the 26,000 mark and Sensex was at 85,000 plus. On the other hand, experts foresee the bullish trend to continue in 2026.
Market Highlights
The Nifty 50 Index ended the year 2025 by adding 190.75 points to reach the mark of 26,129.60, whereas the BSE Sensex Index climbed up by 545.52 points to 85,220.60. Market experts are of the opinion that this year will see a stable growth pattern determined by the increase in corporate profits, private sector investments, and government policies that are more favorable. It is expected that trading volume will be lower due to global market holidays, but it will still be a good time for selective stock purchases.
