India has dropped to seventh in global stock market valuation, overtaken by South Korea and Taiwan.
This decline, attributed to sustained foreign fund selling and muted corporate earnings, contrasts with the AI chip leadership of South Korean and Taiwanese firms.
Despite a recent Sensex uptick driven by domestic buying, foreign investors remain net sellers, impacting India's market cap.
