Abstract: This study analyzes the performance, trends, and volatility of Nifty sectoral indices from 2015 to 2024. Utilizing time-series tools such as ARIMA, GARCH models, and trend analysis, the paper examines sector-wise return behavior, identifies key turning points, and evaluates the implications for investors and policymakers. The findings indicate that certain sectors like Nifty IT and FMCG have demonstrated consistent growth, while others have shown cyclical volatility, especially during macroeconomic shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic.
