        abstract = {Stock markets contribute significantly to economic progress by channeling savings into productive investments and supporting capital formation. In India, equity markets have experienced noticeable fluctuations in recent years due to changing domestic economic conditions and rising global uncertainties. Benchmark indices such as the NIFTY 50 and BSE Sensex reflect these movements and serve as indicators of investor confidence. 
This research analyses the major determinants affecting stock price movements in India by combining primary survey findings with secondary market information. Primary data were gathered from 16 respondents using a structured questionnaire to assess perceptions regarding macroeconomic indicators, monetary policy actions, foreign investment flows, geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, and investor sentiment. Secondary data were referred from publications of the Reserve Bank of India, National Stock Exchange, Bombay Stock Exchange, and other financial reports. 
The results indicate that GDP growth, RBI interest rate decisions, Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) flows, crude oil prices, geopolitical conflicts, and trade tariffs are perceived as key drivers of stock price fluctuations. The study concludes that long-term market growth depends on macroeconomic stability, whereas short-term volatility is largely influenced by external shocks and investor psychology.},
