Wed Nov 27 19:07:54 UTC 2024: ## Kalyan Jewellers to Receive ₹2000 Crore Investment Boost Following Maharashtra Election Results
**Mumbai, November 25, 2024** – The resounding victory of the Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra, as indicated by exit polls, sent shockwaves through the Indian stock market on Friday. The Nifty surged over 550 points, and the Sensex jumped over 1960 points, marking their best single-day gains in five months. This positive market sentiment is expected to continue into this week.
The BJP’s improved performance, securing the chief ministership without needing coalition partners this time, is seen as a factor driving investor confidence. This contrasts with the previous BJP-led government’s unstable coalition. The Mahayuti’s success is also interpreted as a positive sign for the NDA at the national level after a less-than-stellar performance in the Lok Sabha elections.
Analysts believe the continuity in governance under Mahayuti will benefit infrastructure, manufacturing, banking, real estate, finance, and urban development sectors, leading to positive growth in related companies. Further bolstering the optimism, several analysts predict the Nifty will breach 24,000 points and the Sensex might even cross 80,000 points this week.
This positive market trend is further amplified by the inclusion of five new companies, including Kalyan Jewellers, in the MSCI Standard Index, effective Monday. Research firm Nuvama Alternative and Quantitative Research estimates this will attract an additional $241 million (approximately ₹2,000 crore) investment into Kalyan Jewellers’ shares alone. The inclusion also boosts HDFC Bank’s weighting in the index, potentially attracting a further $188 million (approximately ₹15,800 crore) in investment.
However, the article also notes that Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have withdrawn over ₹26,533 crore this month so far, and upcoming US inflation data, US GDP figures, and India’s September quarter GDP numbers could impact market performance. The performance of global stock markets and the rupee will also be influential factors.
