New Delhi, Dec. 26 -- Reflation in the Indian economy, a possible revival in corporate earnings, and the return of foreign portfolio investors are among the positive signs that Indian equities will push higher year-on-year through the New Year - 2026, according to a report by Standard Chartered.

The report 'Outlook 2026: Ride the Recovery Wave' noted that they remain "constructive" on Indian equities in 2026 and expect markets to push higher through the year.

At the macro level, a reflating economy, with a nominal GDP growth rate expected to move into double digits amid broad-based growth and normalisation of inflation, is supportive of the corporate revenue outlook, it noted.
