On October 23, 2025, Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty 50 climbed to fresh 52-week highs, inching closer to their all-time peaks. At 1:30 PM, the Nifty 50 traded at 26,049.45, up 0.70%, while the Sensex gained 645 points (0.76%) to 85,071.53.
The rally was powered by strong buying in large-cap IT stocks such as Infosys and HCL Technologies, along with renewed foreign inflows and optimism over robust festive demand.
The surge in Indian equities on Thursday was driven by a mix of strong quarterly earnings, improving global cues, and a rebound in foreign institutional investor (FII) activity. Market sentiment has been buoyed by optimism around India’s economic outlook, easing global inflation, and hopes of a potential India–U.S. trade pact.
Tech giants Infosys and HCL Tech were among the top performers after reporting better-than-expected Q2 FY26 results, with strong guidance for the coming quarters.
The IT sector’s recovery, combined with steady domestic consumption and positive liquidity flows, helped lift benchmark indices to near-record levels.
