8,475% return in 5 years-10 stocks that made you rich

The Indian equity markets ended the week on a lacklustre note. The NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex closed flat at 8,672.2 points and 28,152.4 points, respectively, as on 12 August 2016. The domestic equity market has been one of the most consistent performing markets during the year as compared to international markets. Equities are known to generate huge returns if you bet on right stocks. Here is an attempt to check which stocks have made you richer in last five years. Companies with market capitalization below 1000 crore rupees were not considered.

A sum of Rs 1 lakh invested in Indo Count Industries five years ago has grown to 84 lakh rupees as of today. These multibagger stocks have leaped far above the benchmark indices BSE Sensex which generated 63 per cent return over the same period. Out of all BSE listed companies, 893 companies more than doubled investor's income during last five years. Similarly 225 companies out of BSE 500 stocks generated more than 100% returns over the same period. Hope you did not miss the boat.
