India’s benchmark indices ended Monday’s session almost unchanged after a volatile day of trade, with gains in realty and PSU bank stocks offset by weakness in IT and auto counters.
The Sensex rose 40 points to 83,978, while the Nifty added 41 points to 25,763. Broader indices outperformed, with midcaps and smallcaps gaining up to 0.7%.
Realty, telecom, pharma, and PSU bank stocks led the advance, each rising 1–2%. IT, FMCG, and auto shares slipped on profit-booking.
Top gainers on the Nifty included Shriram Finance, M&M, Apollo Hospitals, SBI, and Tata Consumer, while Maruti, ITC, TCS, BEL, and L&T declined.
Analysts said markets are consolidating after recent highs. The Nifty faces resistance near 26,100, with support at 25,650.
The Bank Nifty showed strength, holding above 57,600, with potential to move toward 58,500.
Global sentiment stayed mixed as investors tracked the US Fed’s next move and geopolitical cues. Experts expect the market to stay range-bound, with buying interest in realty, PSU banks, and midcaps likely to continue.
