Mumbai, Oct 10, 2025: The Indian stock market witnessed a strong rally on Friday, with the BSE Sensex climbing 299 points to 82,471.46 and the NSE Nifty rising 91 points to 25,272.80. The surge was driven by Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) buying and robust gains in realty and utilities stocks. FIIs invested ₹1,308.16 crore in equities on Thursday, boosting market sentiment.
Top Gainers and Laggards: Among the 30 Sensex constituents, major gainers included HDFC Bank, Bharat Electronics, Axis Bank, SBI, Power Grid, Adani Ports, ITC, Titan, NTPC, and Asian Paints. The laggards were Bajaj Finance, Bharti Airtel, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Steel, Tech Mahindra, and Sun Pharmaceuticals. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares dipped over 0.7% despite reporting better than expected quarterly revenue and margin results.
Market Outlook: VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said, “The overall market environment is turning positive. Reports of a potential US-India trade deal and India rebalancing its oil purchases, along with FII buying momentum, are supporting the rally.”
Global Markets: Asian indices traded mostly higher, with Shanghai’s SSE, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, and Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 in positive territory, while Seoul’s Kospi declined. US markets slipped from record highs on Thursday, and Brent crude dipped 0.14% to USD 65.12 a barrel.
