Major Indian large-cap stocks have faced considerable headwinds over the past year, with several prominent companies experiencing sharp declines. The market sentiment on Dalal Street has been significantly dampened, leading to a 7% slip for the Sensex and a 4% fall for the Nifty.
This downturn has been attributed to a confluence of factors, including geopolitical tensions such as the US-Iran war, the impact of Trump tariffs, subdued corporate earnings reports, strong foreign capital outflows, and what analysts perceive as expensive stock valuations.
