India’s Stock Market Overtakes Hong Kong, Becomes 4th Largest in the World

In a remarkable shift in global financial dynamics, India has overtaken Hong Kong to become the world’s fourth-largest stock market by market capitalization. As of June 2025, India’s total market value has crossed $5 trillion, driven by strong domestic investor participation, a robust economy, and major global fund inflows.

Experts attribute this growth to sectors like technology, finance, infrastructure, and green energy, which have witnessed significant foreign direct investment. The Nifty 50 and Sensex indices continue to perform strongly, with Indian unicorns and startups gaining momentum on public exchanges.

Financial analysts predict continued growth for India, with expectations of becoming the third-largest within the next 5 years if current trends continue. This milestone reflects global investor confidence in India's long-term economic stability and potential.

“India’s market resilience and demographic dividend are attracting global capital like never before,” said Ramesh Joshi, a senior market strategist.

This development positions India as a key player in the global financial arena, marking a new chapter for investors and businesses alike.
