The markets rebounded sharply on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, after a steep decline in the previous session. The BSE Sensex surged 560 points to 88,200, while the NSE Nifty50 gained 130 points to 25,580, recovering losses from Tuesday’s sell-off.
Investor interest was strongest in IT stocks, with TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, and Tech Mahindra climbing 2–3%, driving much of the upside. Blue-chip names in energy and finance, including Power Grid, Reliance Industries, and SBI, also contributed to the rally.
However, market gains were uneven. Solar exporters faced heavy pressure after the US imposed a preliminary 126% import duty on Indian solar equipment, pushing Waaree Energies and Premier Energies down by up to 14%. Financials and consumer names such as Bajaj Finance, Maruti Suzuki, and Asian Paints showed limited movement, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.
Tuesday’s sharp losses had pushed the Sensex down over 1,000 points and the Nifty below 25,450, triggered by selling across IT, banking, and auto sectors. Analysts noted that Wednesday’s recovery was aided by positive global cues from Asian markets and Wall Street, alongside bargain buying in beaten-down technology stocks.
Despite the rebound, market watchers caution that Nifty faces resistance near 25,800, and volatility may continue amid domestic and international uncertainties.
