India Stock Markets

The document discusses India's stock markets and economy. It provides statistics on India's population, GDP, growth rates, and other economic indicators. It then discusses several factors driving growth in India's stock markets since 2004, including strong foreign investment. However, it notes that India's stock market indices may not be the best indicator of economic health since less than 5% of Indian companies are listed. A better measure would be the movement of the most actively traded stocks.
