Economists cited a stable government, an above-normal monsoon forecast, and record merchandise exports as the three pillars of the bull run that has seen the Sensex double in under four years.
Market experts cautioned retail investors about valuations at these elevated levels, warning that any global risk-off event could trigger a sharp correction.
The Nifty 50 simultaneously crossed 29,800, with 26 of the 30 Sensex constituents ending in the green. Foreign institutional investors net bought ₹6,800 crore worth of equities on the day.
