Throughout the previous year, Indian stock markets outpaced major global indices. In the last year, S&P BSE Sensex returned 5.84 per cent, while S&P BSE Mid Cap index and S&P BSE Small Cap index produced returns of 3.43 per cent and 3.4 per cent, respectively. S&P BSE Sensex, S&P BSE MidCap index, and S&P BSE SmallCap index all performed worse than the interest rate given by bank fixed deposits.
