Stock Market Trends: A Closer Look
The cover story of this issue delves into the intriguing question of the direction of stock prices in India. Despite weathering challenges such as oil price shocks, geopolitical tensions, and natural disasters, the country's major stock markets, BSE and NSE, witnessed a sudden downturn in October. The article explores the potential end of the bull run that commenced in 2020 and raises questions about the fate of the upcoming wave of initial public offerings (IPOs).
This issue analyses market trends, providing insights into why a pause in the bull market might be on the horizon. The geopolitical landscape, including ongoing regional conflicts and the strategy of the United States Federal Reserve to combat inflation, is discussed as crucial factors influencing market dynamics.
Transforming Urban Travel
In addition to the financial market analysis, the issue also delves into the urban transportation overhaul in India and its transformative impact on air, road, and rail travel. An exclusive interview with Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia sheds light on the potential of the aviation market. The feature explores the paradigm shift brought about by the Namo Bharat Train, inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi in October, with insights from Vinay Kumar Singh, Managing Director of National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC).
Singh provides a detailed roadmap for operationalising the complete stretch between Delhi and Meerut and the non-fare-box revenue streams explored by NCRTC. The discussion underscores the crucial role of railways in addressing India's urban transportation challenges and stresses the ongoing necessity for urban transport infrastructure development to effectively manage India's rapid urbanisation.
