India’s Next Bull Cycle?
India’s recovery from the early-October lows could mark the beginning of a cyclical bull market—a sustained upward phase supported by improving earnings, liquidity and investor confidence.
The Korea reference
South Korea’s rally shows the potential scale of a market rerating. The KOSPI nearly doubled in the first half of 2026, although its subsequent correction also highlights how quickly momentum can reverse.
Can India follow a similar path?
Korea provides a reference for what is possible, but India’s returns will depend on its own earnings growth, valuations and capital flows.
aRTH Nifty scenario framework
For a potential 12–17 month cycle measured from the early-October lows, aRTH’s proposed Nifty scenario framework is:
| Scenario | Rise from October low |
|---|---|
| Gradual recovery | 15–20% |
| Sustained bull cycle | 25–30% |
| Strong rerating | 35–40% |
These are illustrative scenarios, not confirmed index targets. South Korea’s exceptional rally alone cannot justify projecting a similar doubling for India. Sustained earnings growth and broader market participation would be essential.
The opportunity is in recognising the cycle early—and checking whether fundamentals continue to support it.
