The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) has reached an unprecedented market capitalisation of Rs 500 lakh crore, marking a historic milestone that took 622 trading sessions to achieve. This surge in market wealth is attributed to a robust recovery in domestic equities, sustained investor interest, and the addition of new listings. Despite major indices trading below their lifetime highs, the BSE MidCap 150 is 5.3 percent below its record, while the SmallCap 250 and MicroCap 250 remain 8.4 percent and 7 percent below their peaks.
The surge has been driven by fresh IPOs, with 94 mainboard IPOs adding Rs 12 lakh crore in market capitalisation in 2024 alone, and 107 IPOs contributing over Rs 25 lakh crore in the first six months of 2026. The Sensex and Nifty have surged over 8.1 percent each over six consecutive sessions, with midcap and smallcap stocks also witnessing substantial buying.
Foreign portfolio investors have injected over USD 3.4 billion during the past 12 sessions, further bolstering sentiment and supporting the historic valuation.
