 INTRODUCTION
The rapid spread of the unprecedented
COVID‐19 pandemic has put the world
in jeopardy and changed the global
outlook unexpectedly. Initially, the
COVID‐19 outbreak triggered in Wuhan
city, China in December 2019, and with
time it spread all over the globe.
This pandemic is not only a global health emergency but also a significant
global economic downturn too. Economic turmoil associated with COVID‐
19 has affected the financial market severely which includes both stock and
bond markets.
The government of India announced Janata curfew on march 22, 2020 and
lockdown policy to maintain social distancing practice to slow down the
outbreaks from march 24, 2020. As the government announced such a
lockdown policy, various economic activities have been stopped suddenly. As
a result of the fall out in the global financial market, the Indian stock market
also witnessed sharp volatility. It has also borne the brunt of the COVID ‐19
pandemic.
 IMPACT ON STOCK MARKET
There are two major stock indices in India—
Bombay stock exchange (BSE), Sensex, and
national stock exchange (NSE), nifty. If we
look at the Bombay stock exchange there was
a drop in the Sensex index to 13.2% on march
23, 2020. It was the highest single day fall
after the news of the Harshad Mehta scam in
April 28, 1991.
Nifty had also declined to almost 29%
during this period. Some economists
have considered the impact of COVID‐
19 on the Indian stock market as a
“BLACK SWAN EVENT,” that is, the
occurrence of a highly unanticipated
event with an extremely bad impact.

 STOCKS THAT EMERGED CONSISTENT
PERFORMERS DURING COVID-19 CRISIS

Within this backdrop of wild swings in share prices, there

were certain stocks that had weathered the storm and
delivered consistent return to investors .
According to a report by ICICI securities, there are 18 stocks
within the NSE index that qualify as ‘resilient outperformers’
– those which rack up a greater degree of gains during market
upsides and suffer less when markets fall.
Its top picks include reliance industries, SBI, Infosys,
Larsen & Toubro, Bajaj Fiserv, titan industries, sun
pharma, ONGC, Adani ports, tata steel & Grasim .
Meanwhile, the main sectoral indices that ranked as
resilient outperformers were the NSE midcap, NSE
Small cap, NSE high beta, nifty metals, nifty infra, nifty
auto and BSE consumer durables.
 CONCLUSION :
The above study shows that the stocks are highly positively correlated which
means that the stock market has not been impacted enough by the covid 19. The
stock market has historically been prone to fear psychoses, and this is one such
instance but market recovered rapidly because of sound corporate results, high
vaccination, high FDI investments, high liquidity because of global monetary
stimulus etc. The long-term India growth story remains intact with India remaining
a preferred investment choice among peer emerging markets on the back of strong
fundamentals with the concern of global inflation.
