Delhi Election Results 2025: How Will Indian Stock Markets React to BJP’s Victory? Key Technical Levels for Nifty, Sensex
Indian Stock Markets Reaction: The Indian stock market is poised for a positive reaction when it reopens on Monday following the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s sweeping victory in the Delhi Assembly Elections 2025. The BJP secured 48 out of 70 seats, decisively ending the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) decade-long rule in the national capital. This landslide win marks the party’s return to power in Delhi after nearly three decades.
Market Sentiment Post-Elections
Experts believe that BJP’s win strengthens political stability, which could boost investor confidence in the short term. The stock market had already been showing signs of recovery after the Union Budget 2025 and a 25 basis points repo rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Dr. V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, noted,
“The BJP’s win in Delhi is a major boost for the ruling party at the Centre. This positive sentiment could reflect in the market in the short term. However, the medium to long-term trend will still depend on GDP growth recovery and corporate earnings performance.”
Despite global uncertainties, including the US Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance and continued foreign portfolio outflows, market experts anticipate a bullish trend in Indian equities.
Stock Market Performance Last Week
Before the election results, the Nifty 50 and Sensex maintained their upward trajectory for the second consecutive week.
| Index | Weekly Change (%) | Closing Value |
|---|---|---|
| Nifty 50 | +0.33% | 23,559.95 |
| BSE Sensex | +0.46% | 77,860 |
| Bank Nifty | +1.32% | 50,220 |
On Friday, however, both indices witnessed minor declines due to global market volatility. The BSE Sensex fell by 197.97 points (0.25%), while the Nifty 50 lost 77.8 points (0.33%).
Impact of RBI’s Repo Rate Cut
In a significant monetary policy move, the RBI’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), led by Governor Sanjay Malhotra, reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 6.25%—the first cut in over two years.
While this move aimed to boost liquidity, investors were hoping for more aggressive measures to counter capital outflows. The Indian rupee, facing pressure from a stronger dollar, posted its worst weekly performance in over two years.
Technical Outlook: Nifty & Sensex Levels to Watch
Nifty 50
From a technical standpoint, Nifty successfully defended its 23,400 support level at the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). The 23,900 mark remains a major resistance, and a breakout above this level could push Nifty towards 24,200.
Key Levels:
- Support: 23,200 | Resistance: 23,900
- Bullish Target: 24,200
- Bearish Breakdown Level: Below 23,250
Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research at Religare Broking, highlighted,
“Nifty reclaimed its 21-day EMA, with RSI holding above 50 and MACD signaling a bullish crossover, reinforcing positive sentiment.”
Bank Nifty
Bank Nifty surged 1.32% last week, indicating a potential trend reversal. The index closed above its 21-day EMA, breaking out of a three-week consolidation.
Key Levels:
- Support: 49,700 | Resistance: 50,700
- Bullish Target: 51,500
- Bearish Breakdown Level: Below 49,200
Puneet Singhania, Director of Master Trust Group, added,
“As long as Bank Nifty sustains above 49,700, we expect further upside toward 50,700. A buy-on-dips strategy is advisable for long-term investors.”
Market Strategy After BJP’s Delhi Win
With BJP securing a clear victory, investor sentiment is likely to remain optimistic, especially in sectors aligned with the government’s economic vision.
Key Market Themes Post-Election:
- Sectoral Rotation: Except for FMCG, most sectors are seeing rotational participation.
- Midcap & Smallcap Caution: Volatility in these segments remains a concern.
- Interest Rate Impact: The repo rate cut to 6.25% is expected to support liquidity and confidence.
- Global Uncertainties: US Fed policies, trade tariffs, and foreign capital outflows continue to pose risks.
Investment Approach: Buy on Dips?
Given the election results and economic factors, analysts recommend a selective stock-picking strategy.
- Bullish Sectors: Banking, Infrastructure, Capital Goods, and IT.
- Neutral Sectors: Pharma and FMCG.
- Cautious Approach: Midcap and Smallcap stocks due to higher volatility.
Singhania from Master Trust summed it up,
“Despite short-term fluctuations, the overall trend remains positive. Investors should adopt a Buy on Dips approach while managing risk exposure.”
