It's now losing steam: Sensex under three years of Narendra Modi's rule

Three years before, when Narendra Modi stormed to victory in the general election, the benchmark Sensex and the broader stock market were throbbing in anticipation. His high-octane campaign and pro-business manifesto caught the imagination of the business community in general, the cheer led by rosy reports from foreign brokerages. This column had written around the same time that year that Modi had formidable economic benchmarks set by his predecessor, Manmohan Singh, to beat. Including stock prices which rose five to six times during a 10-year tenure. Local brokerages joined the party after May 15, 2014, when the beginning of the Modi era was officially confirmed, with the election results.

There have been calls for celebration and caution at the same time. Is this a significant milestone? If you look at the previous two 10,000-point milestones on the index, I don't remember Mt 10,000 as much as I recall 20,000. The latter peak is etched in memory because of the euphoria it came with and painful fall that followed. One needs to google to find 10,000 was crossed sometime in February 2006. Though a big event at the time, the index would rush past so many milestones in the next two years that 10,000 has faded in public memory. Which of its two predecessors is the third 10,000 to follow? Maybe what happens in these weeks and months after 30,000 would determine the significance of the landmark. Seasoned investors do not care as much about the milestone as the journey itself. "I am not a big believer in the notion of the ..
