• India’s Resilience: Despite record FPI outflows of ~INR 3 lakh crore, the market secured its 10th consecutive year of growth, with monthly SIPs hitting a record INR 31,000 crore.
• IPO Explosion: A historic year with over 100 mega IPOs raising INR 1.8 lakh crore—the highest in 18 years.
• Asset Rotation: Precious metals led the way, with Silver outperforming all assets at 126.8% returns due to safe-haven and industrial demand.
• Sectoral Standouts: PSU Banks surged over 26% on strong earnings, while the Media sector plummeted ~21% due to digital platform disruption.

The 2026 Outlook:

• Cycle Turnaround: Pro-growth fiscal policies and a shift to "neutral" monetary stances signal a move from caution to opportunity.
