Nifty 50 target: Will it hit 25,000 this year? Market experts weigh in on what could drive the recovery
A quarterly results development with market-wide reach.
26 Sept 2026 · LiveMint Markets
Achieving the 25,000 mark on the Nifty requires positive global cues, stronger corporate earnings, and manageable crude oil prices. The index, down 11% year-to-date, needs to overcome current hurdles related to external economic pressures.
The analysis
This is an Input cost / crude event. India imports most of its crude, so input costs pass through to margins downstream and to the rupee. Producers and consumers of the same input move in opposite directions.
Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
