In a day of impressive gains, the stock market closed on a high, bolstered by bullish sentiment and a flurry of green across key indices.
The Sensex, India's benchmark stock index, surged 566.97 points, reaching a closing figure of 66,079.36 , while the Nifty, another significant indicator, added 177.50 points to finish at 19,689.85.
This remarkable upward momentum was mirrored in the performance of individual companies listed on the Nifty, with 44 firms recording advances and only 6 seeing declines.
Among the top gainers within the Nifty companies were Coal India, Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, Tata Motors, and Hindalco. In contrast, IndusInd Bank, Cipla, TCS, Dr Reddy, and Asian Paints were the top losers when the market concluded.
The Indian markets exhibited a strong and positive trend throughout the trading day, signaling a healthy market structure. Investors witnessed notable gains across various stocks, particularly those recommended earlier in the day.
Stocks such as Kotak, HDFC Bank, INFY, Reliance, and HUL performed admirably.
