    Digital Desk: India's stock market has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing Hong Kong's in total market capitalization for the first time. With a combined value of $4.33 trillion as of Monday's close, India now holds the position as the fourth-largest equity market globally. 

    This achievement underscores the nation's appeal to investors, driven by robust growth prospects and proactive policy reforms.

    On December 5, India's stock market capitalization exceeded $4 trillion, marking a noteworthy milestone, with substantial growth occurring in the past four years.

    The surge in equities is attributed to a burgeoning base of retail investors and impressive corporate earnings. India has emerged as a preferred global destination for investors, attracting interest amid a historic downturn in Hong Kong's market.

    The upward trajectory in India's stock market aligns with a broader trend of increased interest in stock investments, reflecting the growing confidence of individuals in the market's potential. 

    This accomplishment further solidifies India's position as an attractive and dynamic player in the global financial landscape.
