The Nifty Story: Investors' Money Grows 10 Times From 1996 To 2017
The NSE benchmark Nifty 50 index began its journey in 1996 with a base value of 1,000. After 21 years, the Nifty hit the magical 10,000 mark - or in other words, investors' money has grown 10 times in 21 years. But the journey of Nifty has been anything but smooth.

Nifty@4,000 - 2006
2006 is considered as one of the best years in the history of Indian stock markets. Nifty delivered a nearly 40 per cent return that year and crossed landmarks like 3,000 and 4,000 amid a global market rally and improvement in corporate earnings growth. -
Nifty@7,000 - 2014
Indian markets regained momentum in September 2013, after Narendra Modi was chosen as prime ministerial candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The market rally continued after the BJP won a strong mandate in 2014 elections. After three years of subdued performance, Nifty touched the 7,000 mark for the first time in May 2014.
