Indian markets moved lower.

Despite robust GDP growth of 7.8%, India's Nifty 50 index has plummeted 13% YTD, highlighting a stark divergence between economic strength and market performance. What explains it?
The analysis
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.
- The immediate tone of coverage reads negative.
