The Indian stock market closed on a strong note as benchmark indices surged sharply on Thursday. The Sensex gained 1,264 points to finish at 78,111, while the Nifty settled above the 24,200 mark, reflecting broad-based buying across sectors.
Heavyweights in banking, IT, and energy led the rally, with investor sentiment buoyed by positive global cues and strong quarterly earnings. The gains were supported by robust foreign institutional inflows and optimism around India’s economic growth outlook.
Analysts noted that the market momentum was driven by renewed confidence in large-cap stocks, while mid-cap and small-cap indices also registered healthy gains. The rally comes ahead of key macroeconomic data releases, with traders eyeing inflation and industrial output figures for further direction.
