India’s economy is sputtering, but its stock market powers ahead


MUMBAI: India’s economy may be faltering, but its US$2.1 trillion stock market has been powering to new highs as foreign investors pile into country’s shares, betting the worst may have already passed.

Economic growth is at the lowest since before Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014. The economy expanded 4.5% in July-September, slowing for a sixth straight quarter as deteriorating local consumption, troubled banks and a weak global outlook all took their toll.
