Nifty 50 Tops 25,000 Mark; Auto Stocks Lead the Rally

The benchmark Nifty 50 index crossed the 25,000 milestone, reflecting strong market momentum. As of 11:57 AM IST, the index was up 157 points, or 0.63%, trading at 25,010.15.

Equity benchmarks posted modest gains in morning trade, buoyed by easing global trade tensions and a major windfall from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). U.S. President Donald Trump’s softened stance on proposed tariff hikes for European imports over the weekend lent support to market sentiment. Domestically, the RBI’s decision to transfer a record ₹2.68 lakh crore surplus to the central government for FY25, 27% higher than last year and exceeding Union Budget projections, added further optimism.

Investors remain attentive to international trade cues and the ongoing Q4 earnings season, which could further influence market direction.

Auto Stocks in High Gear

The Nifty Auto index surged 1.17% to 23,791.35, marking a second consecutive session of gains with a total rise of 1.41% over the two days.

Leading the charge were Tata Motors (+2.62%), Mahindra & Mahindra (+2.54%), Hero MotoCorp (+2.16%), and Samvardhana Motherson International (+1.65%). Other notable gainers included Bajaj Auto (+1.57%), MRF (+1.25%), Eicher Motors (+1.12%), Exide Industries (+0.8%), Bharat Forge (+0.71%), and TVS Motor Company (+0.57%).
