Indian markets opened on a positive note on Monday, tracking gains across Asian peers. The Sensex jumped over 250 points, while the Nifty 50 climbed past 25,550 as investor sentiment improved following expectations of an early end to the U.S. government shutdown and optimism about corporate earnings momentum.
Infosys, HCL Technologies, and select banking stocks led the rally, helping lift the benchmarks after a volatile week of losses. Among broader market movers, HBL Engineering and Neuland Laboratories were top gainers in early trade, while Transformers and Rectifiers (India), Trent, and Nava saw declines.
Analysts said the rebound reflected improving global cues and renewed confidence in India’s growth outlook ahead of key inflation data and corporate results later this week.
