India’s Nifty Midcap 100 Index achieved a fresh record high by rising 0.69% to 61,155.65, outpacing larger indices as investor confidence grows in midcap companies. This rally reflects improved Q2 earnings performance, driven by select sectors showing resilience and growth despite macroeconomic challenges.

Midcap firms reported a 7% year-on-year topline jump and a 27% surge in profit after tax, surpassing broader market peers, which translated to renewed buying interest.
