Nifty, Sensex extend gains by over 1 pc
MUMBAI: Indian equity benchmarks resumed their upward momentum on Friday after a brief one-day pause, as investors closely monitored developments in West Asia and assessed their potential impact on global markets.
Both the Nifty and the Sensex ended higher, extending their recent gaining streak. At the closing bell, Sensex was up 918.6 points, or 1.20 per cent, to finish the intra-day trading session at 77,550.25.
Nifty also followed suit and closed at 24,050.6, up 275.5 points, or 1.16 per cent.
Gains in the frontline indices were supported by select heavyweights, with stocks such as Asian Paints, Eicher Motors, Bajaj Auto, and Shriram Finance emerging as the top performers on the Nifty.
The broader markets outpaced the benchmark indices, reflecting strong investor participation beyond large-cap stocks.
