Indian stocks have been soaring this year despite the economy performing not well. The GDP has declined for many quarters in a row and is well under 5%. With the rise in stock prices, the forward P/E has shot up to over 19 which is much higher than the mean of around 16.
It remains to be seen if the current bull market can hold thru the rest of the year and possibly reach higher highs in 2020.
