In the face of a mixed performance in the Asian market influenced by China’s disappointing GDP data, the Indian market displayed remarkable resilience and optimism. Investors eagerly anticipated a promising Q1 result, which contributed to the overall positive sentiment in the Indian market. Despite external uncertainties, the Indian market remained steadfast, demonstrating its ability to weather challenges and maintain a strong foothold.
The projected growth for Nifty50’s consolidated PAT in Q1 is expected to surpass a remarkable 20% year-on-year, signaling a positive trajectory that has the potential to enhance the full-year earnings growth for FY24.
