Today, it stands at around 75,000 points, reflecting a historic rise. Recently, we reached a whopping USD 5 trillion market cap for the first time ever," the PM said.
Over the past ten years, if you just take a look at the number of Demat accounts, you will understand how citizens have started to show confidence in the Indian economy. Our investors are well aware of the pro-market reforms we have implemented. These reforms have created a robust and transparent financial system, making it easier for every Indian to participate in the stock markets," PM Modi added.
