Against the backdrop of ongoing global political turmoil and enduring after-effects of the pandemic, maintaining economic balance is an arduous task. However, India has demonstrated resiliency in both domestic and global economic scenarios. With a GDP surpassing 3 trillion USD, a steady policy rate of 6.5% in June 2023, inflation cooling down to a 20-month low at 4.3% in May 2023, and its benchmark BSE SENSEX index recording an all-time high, India is poised for sustainable economic growth as it becomes the fifth largest economy.

The MVIS® India Index (MVIND), a modified market cap index tracking the largest liquid companies of India was up almost 12% in the last year, reaffirming the ongoing economic rally.
