Indian equity benchmarks kicked off Thursday’s trading session on a positive note, continuing their recent upward momentum. At around 9:18 a.m., the NSE Nifty was trading at 24,871, up 118 points or 0.49%, while the BSE Sensex surged 476 points, or 0.59%, to reach 81,791.
The strong opening reflects positive investor sentiment, bolstered by supportive global cues and optimism around domestic macroeconomic indicators. Market participants are closely watching upcoming earnings reports and central bank commentary, which may further shape short-term trends.
Among early gainers, Zomato and Tata Motors stood out with impressive performances. Zomato saw increased investor interest following strong quarterly results and strategic expansion plans. Tata Motors continued to rally on expectations of robust domestic demand and positive outlook for its EV segment.
Broader market indices also opened in the green, with mid-cap and small-cap stocks mirroring the strength in large-cap counters. Sectorally, auto, banking, and FMCG stocks were among the top performers in early trade.
Analysts suggest staying cautious ahead of potential profit booking later in the session but maintain a bullish medium-term outlook given strong fundamentals and liquidity support.
