Diwali’s Surprise Winners: Eight BSE 500 Stocks More Than Doubled Investors’ Wealth as Broader Market Slips
A sharp post-Diwali divergence has emerged in Indian equities, with the Nifty 50 falling nearly 3% since Diwali 2025 even as eight BSE 500 stocks delivered outsized gains and more than doubled investor wealth. Data from ACE Equities shows Aditya Infotech, HFCL and Welspun Corp among the strongest performers, with returns reaching as high as 191% over the past year. The rally underscores how stock-specific catalysts, not broad market sentiment, have driven the biggest winners in an otherwise uneven market.
