Three months after overtaking Australia to become the 10th biggest stock market in the world, India on Monday surpassed Switzerland to become the ninth biggest with a market capitalisation of $1.58 trillion.
The BSE Sensex closed at a lifetime high of 27,319.85, driven up by purchases by FIIs who have now bought close to $14 billion of stocks in 2014 so far.
Despite multiple-record highs hit by the benchmark indices, India still has to cover quite a distance to reach its $1.9-trillion peak of January 2008.
Indian companies have contributed around $442 billion to the world market cap so far this year and the Sensex has rallied 33% in dollar terms, the biggest gainer globally. India now comprises 2.4% of the market cap of global listed equities compared with 1.8% at the beginning of the year. The market caps of ONGC, TCS, SBI, Sun Pharma, ICICI Bank, Coal India and Larsen & Toubro have increased anywhere between Rs 50,000 crore and Rs 1.42 lakh crore in 2014.
