Diwali 2026, Samvat 2083: As the Indian stock market prepare for the beginning of Samvat 2083, investors are looking forward to the traditional Muhurat Trading session during Diwali 2026, hoping for fresh opportunities and positive market momentum.
However, the new Samvat year begins against a backdrop of global economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, volatile financial markets and changing investment trends. While domestic investors have demonstrated resilience despite significant foreign institutional investor (FII) outflows, concerns around crude oil prices, interest rates and global technology valuations remain important factors to monitor.
Ahead of the festive season, Uday Kotak, Founder and Non-Executive Director, Kotak Mahindra Bank shared his perspective on the developments that could shape Indian financial markets and investment opportunities in Samvat 2083.
In his message, Kotak highlighted five key factors for investors to watch, ranging from India's relative market valuations and the artificial intelligence (AI) boom to crude oil prices, interest rates and the importance of risk management.
Despite geopolitics, volatile global markets and significant FII outflows, domestic investors continued to demonstrate confidence in Indian equities.
