Indian stock markets closed higher on Friday, bouncing back after recent losses. The BSE Sensex rose about 450 points, while the Nifty 50 crossed 26,000, showing renewed investor confidence.
Tata Steel led the gainers, rising around 3 percent. Other top performers included HCL Tech and Infosys, while Hindalco and ICICI Bank were among the losers.
The rally came on the back of positive sentiment in domestic markets, supported by gains in metals and IT stocks. Investors also reacted to global cues, including a rebound in U.S. markets.
Despite some profit-booking and foreign fund outflows, the overall trend remained positive, with most sectors ending the session in green.
