We project Nifty at 30,000 by the next Diwali. The BSE Sensex is expected to target levels around 95,000,” he said.Nilesh Shah, Managing Director of Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company, expressed a guarded outlook.He pointed out several concerning factors: India’s elevated market valuations, the tepid earnings expansion in the previous six quarters, alongside continuous divestment by company promoters, which could negatively affect market sentiment.Also Read | Muhurat trading top stocks to buy today: Stock market recommendations for October 21, 2025 – check listAdditionally, he highlighted that American trade tariffs have impacted profit growth and could potentially prompt foreign investors to reduce their holdings.He stated “Last Samvat wasn’t exactly a blockbuster for the Nifty; it lagged most global markets.
