Key Takeaways
India once again emerged as the world's fifth-largest equity market on June 29, 2026, after returning to the position it held just this month. The current market capitalisation of India now reaches $5.04 trillion, surpassing Taiwan's $5 trillion and South Korea's $4.7 trillion. The reason for such a change is the result of profit-taking in both markets along with growth in the Indian stock market due to reduced crude oil prices and reversal of FPI selling in the last two weeks.
The market capitalisation of India increased by $135 billion in June 2026, whereas it decreased by $230 billion in South Korea and $119 billion in Taiwan. The Nifty index increased by 2.1% in dollars in June, whereas Nifty Smallcap 100 went up by 3.4%.
The recovery, however, happens in spite of the difficult time that has been experienced by Indian investors in general during the year. The market capitalisation in India is still down by 4.8% in terms of dollars as opposed to South Korea, which has made gains of 74% and Taiwan, which is up by 52% on a year-to-date basis. The Nifty is down by 12.7% while the KOSPI is up by 86% and TAIEX 53% in dollar terms.
On a positive note, retail investor participation through the use of SIPs has remained remarkably resilient amidst this market turmoil. As reported by LoansJagat, mutual fund SIP investments were at record levels in India in 2025, reaching ₹31,000 crore in the month of December alone. This shows that retail investors are increasingly opting for SIP investment compared to market timing.
Analysts said that it took weeks for a swift turnaround. India had slid to seventh on the global index after it was surpassed by Taiwan and South Korea which took rapid rides on the back of an AI-fueled rally among chip makers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Samsung, and SK Hynix. It was only about 18 months ago when India's market cap was about 3.5 times that of South Korea’s and more than two times that of Taiwan’s, according to Bernstein analysts.
India's share of global market capitalisation now stands at 3.08%, after slipping below the 3% mark for the first time in 4 years last month. The path forward, according to Business Standard, will depend on 3 factors, the resolution of the US-Iran war, the trajectory of the monsoon, and the direction of the global AI trade.
The regaining of the 5th position and the crossing of $5.04 tn in market cap in India during the month validates genuine June momentum and does mask a harder overall year in 2024-25, with its continued possession of this ranking ultimately depending on global geopolitical and AI-led capital flows going into the latter half of FY27.
How did India climb back to 5th place in global market capitalisation, overtaking Taiwan and South Korea?
India's total market capitalisation now stands at $5.04 trillion, overtaking Taiwan at $5 trillion and South Korea at $4.7 trillion. The decline in Taiwan and South Korea was driven largely by profit-taking in AI and semiconductor stocks after a prolonged global rally.
Is the Indian stock market running out of growth ideas like Japan's market did after the 1990s?
Not based on current data. The Nifty's valuation multiple has moderated from about 24 times earnings to nearly 18 times, making equities more attractively priced, not stagnant. Foreign investors have resumed buying, with the reversal of FPI selling underway over the past two weeks.
