Dalal Street concluded the final trading session of 2025 on a confident note, driven by the stellar performance of heavyweights Kotak Bank, ONGC, and Reliance, the benchmark Nifty 50 index surged to close above the 26,100 level, cementing its tenth consecutive year of positive annual returns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This decade-long winning streak represents an unprecedented era of resilience and depth in the Indian financial ecosystem. Despite a year characterised by global trade shifts and currency fluctuations, the market’s ability to bounce back highlights the robust underlying strength of the domestic economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Year of Remarkable Resilience<\/b><\/h2>\n

The journey of 2025 was far from a straight line. The Nifty began the year on shaky ground, drifting lower through January and February due to global uncertainties. However, the second half of the year saw a spectacular recovery, with the index hitting a fresh all-time high of 26,325.80 in December. By the close of the final session, the Nifty 50 sealed the year with an impressive total gain of approximately 10.50 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n

While equities celebrated, the Indian rupee faced significant pressure. On Wednesday, 31 December 2025, the rupee closed marginally lower at 89.87 per dollar, compared to its previous close of 89.78. Throughout the year, the rupee depreciated by 5 percent, making it one of the more challenged Asian currencies in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n
