Indian benchmark indices began the trading session notably lower due to fragile global market conditions. However, the market rebounded, driven by increased interest in the Auto and FMCG sectors, making substantial contributions to the indices.
Despite the initial losses, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 concluded the trading session with declines of 0.38% and 0.24%, respectively. In contrast, the broader indices exhibited remarkable resilience, outperforming the main indices and finishing the day on a relatively stable note.
With 1,851 shares rising on the BSE and 1,843 shares declining, the advance-decline ratio remained balanced. On the Sensex, Nestle India, UltraTech Cement, and IndusInd Bank were among the top gainers, whereas Wipro, Tech Mahindra, and NTPC Ltd were among the market underperformers.
