The Nifty Smallcap 100 index jumped 12 per cent in November while the benchmark Nifty 50 rose 5.5 per cent. On the other hand, the Nifty Midcap 100 index rose 10.4 per cent in November. The market's upward trajectory was crafted by a confluence of factors including strong Q2 earnings, the resurgence of foreign investor participation following two months of divestment, and India's promising growth prospects.

These catalysts collectively orchestrated the impressive ascent of the domestic market during the last month. Meanwhile, the Nifty 50 hit its fresh record high of 20,272.75 in morning trade on Friday, December 1. The Sensex, however, is yet to breach its last high of 67,927.23 which it hit on September 15 this year.
