Indian benchmark indices ended sharply higher on Monday, with the Sensex and Nifty posting strong gains amid broad-based buying across sectors.
The 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 736 points to close at 76,264, while the Nifty 50 advanced 231 points to settle at 23,853.
The rally was driven by strong buying in banking, financial and heavyweight stocks, helping the market recover from recent volatility. Investors responded positively to improving global market sentiment and easing concerns over geopolitical tensions.
Major gainers included banking and financial sector companies, which witnessed increased investor interest throughout the trading session. Buying was also seen in select energy, automobile and information technology stocks, contributing to the market’s upward momentum.
Market participants said positive cues from global equities and renewed foreign investor interest supported sentiment. Analysts noted that investors were encouraged by expectations of stable economic growth and resilient corporate earnings.
The broader market also ended in positive territory, with several mid-cap and small-cap stocks recording gains. Sectoral indices largely closed higher, reflecting widespread participation in the rally.
Trading remained upbeat through the day, with benchmark indices extending gains in the latter half of the session. The strong finish helped both Sensex and Nifty end significantly above their previous closing levels.
