* India continues to outperform the global and EM peers. Sensex hit a milestone of 60K in Sep'21 and took just 158 days to move from 50K to 60K.

* Institutional turnover reached an all-time high of INR7.2t in Sep'21.

* Nifty created new all-time highs on 48 trading days in CY21. With three months still to go, it has a good shot at crossing the previous record of CY14 when it hit new highs on 55 days in a calendar year.
