India's Electronics Leap 2

7 min read

December capped a resilient yet uneven 2025 for Indian markets. Early in the year, emerging markets outperformed amid mixed global signals, but this divergence proved short-lived. By mid-year, uncertainty stemming from Trump-era tariff threats and shifting timelines around the US–India trade deal weighed on foreign flows, despite strong domestic fundamentals and central bank easing. Over the year, markets navigated these cross-currents, with MSCI India up ~3%. However, it lagged MSCI EM’s broader ~31% and MSCI DM’s ~19% gains, which were driven largely by AI, Technology, and semiconductor-led rallies that dominated global risk appetite.

Policy reforms during the year reinforced this macro stability. Income-tax cuts and GST 2.0 rationalisation supported household affordability and facilitated price pass-through, strengthening the disinflationary impulse. Accounting for favourable base effects alongside these reforms, headline CPI eased to below 1% by November, while core inflation moderated to ~4.3%. Complementing this backdrop, liquidity conditions remained comfortable in December, supported by active RBI operations including open-market bond purchases and USD/INR swap auctions, helping preserve money-market stability and reinforce monetary policy transmission. For the broader market during 2025, earnings through the year pointed to a selective recovery.
