Indian stock markets maintained their positive momentum on Wednesday, with key indices closing higher for the second consecutive session. The Sensex rose 313 points (0.38%) to close at 82,693.71, while the Nifty 50 gained 91.15 points (0.36%) to finish at 25,330.25. The rally was primarily driven by strong buying interest in heavyweight stocks, including SBI, BEL, and Maruti Suzuki.
The market’s performance reflected a mix of cautious optimism and some profit-taking. Positive sentiment stemmed from ongoing discussions on tariff issues between India and the U.S., as well as optimism surrounding potential policy reforms and robust domestic investment flows. However, gains were capped by persistent selling from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and market caution ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy announcement.
