Nifty at 1 lakh: By when will Nifty50 reach 100000?

Dev Ashish

Can Nifty reach 1 lakh?

Ofcourse it can. Currently, it is around 16,500. Ofcourse there are many other smaller targets like Nifty@20,000 and Nifty@25,000 and Nifty@50,000 and Nifty@75,000 and then comes Nifty@100000.

I recently heard a noted investor of India giving a target of 1 lakh for Nifty in a decade’s time.

So there are bound to be questions asked like:

To be honest, predicting is a futile exercise as they say. But we can try and make intelligent guesses based on historical data and our own subjective and situational awareness.

So let’s explore the possibility of Nifty @1,00,000. But with caution and the acceptance that we can be very very wrong about the timelines. As for the idea about Nifty reaching 1 lakh in the future, it’s bound to happen no doubt. But when will it exactly happen, is what we attempt to guess intelligently here.

Currently, Nifty is at around 16,500 (in mid-August 2021)

So when will the Nifty reach @1,00,000?

Now let’s approximate the time required for Nifty to reach 1 lakh for different average return expectations. We have:

So many possibilities depending on how much returns the markets generate.

But from all the above possibilities, if we stick to a rational range of 10-12% returns from equity over the long term and not be too adventurous about our expectations, then seemingly Nifty@1 lakh will be here by 2037-40. So that’s a way of saying that Nifty could touch 1 lakh level by 2037-40.

But that is just the extrapolation of an assumption. It might be right or it might be way off. Who knows. And if returns are much better than that as many expect given the upticks in various economic and financial parameters of the economy, then Nifty might touch 100000 even sooner. Maybe be 2030 or even 2032.

How to invest in Nifty@100000 prediction?

That’s true. I used the word prediction. Because that’s what it is. We can never be sure. But nevertheless, Nifty 1 lakh will come one day no doubt. It might come a little earlier than what we expect or might come a little later than when we expect it to.

Nifty at 1,00,000 is a real possibility. So what should be your investment strategy? I would say that there are just a few things to make sure when investing in equities and looking to ride to Nifty@100000:

So that’s it about Nifty 1 lakh.

I know you and I both want Nifty to reach 100000 as soon as possible. But it will take its own sweet time. So don’t just focus on the destination. Enjoy the journey as well. But the core idea remains the same. If you want to benefit from Nifty@100000, then you need to stay in equities for the long term. I have said this very often and still maintain that equities are likely to remain the best investment option from the long-term perspective.

Predictions about Nifty in 2021, Nifty in 2022, Nifty in 2023, Nifty in 2024 or Nifty in 2025 will be doled out generously by the financial media as they countdown to 100000 for Nifty. But you need to keep a sane head and approach investing in a sensible manner. Only then you will really benefit from Nifty@1lakh whenever that happens.
