Citi Raises Nifty 50 Target to 28,000 for December 2027
Citi sees a possible shift from AI spending toward non-AI assets. A one-point increase in India’s emerging-market portfolio weight could bring about $12 billion in inflows.

Citi raised its December 2027 target for India’s Nifty 50 index to 28,000, citing the possibility that U.S. midterm results could slow AI spending and redirect capital, alongside earnings growth and lower oil prices.
The new target is up from 26,000. Citi analyst Surendra Goyal said Indian stocks may benefit if investment shifts toward non-AI assets.
India’s weight in emerging-market portfolios is near a multiyear low. Citi estimates that each one-percentage-point increase in that weighting could bring about $12 billion in inflows.
Citi also estimates that a $10 decline in oil prices could lift Nifty 50 earnings by about 2%.
