Explained: 13 reasons why the Nifty could not deliver more in last 5 years

SUMMARY
# Nifty's Underperformance Over 5 Years: Key Reasons

The Nifty 50 delivered modest returns over the past five years due to multiple headwinds. COVID-19 disrupted markets, global inflation surged, and RBI's rate hikes tightened liquidity. Geopolitical tensions like the Russia-Ukraine war, rising crude oil prices, FII outflows, rupee depreciation, and sluggish corporate earnings weighed heavily. Banking NPAs, slow GDP growth, muted consumption demand, and regulatory changes added pressure. China's slowdown and US Fed tightening further impacted investor sentiment, capping Nifty gains despite intermittent rallies driven by retail participation.
