With support from regular investors and domestic institutions, the Indian stock market enjoyed a fantastic year. The government's continued assistance for the telecom sector, as well as production-linked incentives for auto and auto-part manufacturers, helped to lift the stock market's spirits amid negative global cues. So far in 2021, the Nifty 50 has gained more than 27%.
With Nifty finally hitting the 18000 level, netizens have taken to Twitter to share hilarious memes that show overjoyed Nifty investors, celebrating.
