| Where | Worth now | Change | Against GAIL |
|---|---|---|---|
| GAIL (India) | ₹23,957 | +139.6% | — |
| NIFTY 50 | ₹26,846 | +168.5% | ₹2,889 less |
| Fixed deposit at 6.5% | ₹18,767 | +87.7% | ₹5,191 more |
The NIFTY 50 figure is the index itself over the same dates, which like this page counts price only and no dividends — so the two are measured the same way. The fixed deposit line assumes a steady 6.5% a year for the whole period. No bank held one rate that long: Indian deposit rates ran from around 9% in 2014 to about 5.5% in 2021. Treat it as a yardstick, not a record of what a deposit actually paid.
