On May 12, 2025, Indian stock markets posted strong gains, snapping a recent losing streak as tensions between India and Pakistan showed signs of de-escalation. Improved global cues and a sharp fall in India VIX boosted overall market sentiment.
The BSE Sensex soared 2,975.43 points (+3.74%) to close at 82,429.90, while the NSE Nifty 50 ended 916.70 points (+3.82%) higher at 24,924.70.
Here are the top gainers and losers for the day:

2,425.00 | 7.73 | |
1,623.50 | 7.69 | |
644.5 | 7.16 | |
5,460.00 | 6.79 | |

Infosys rallied 7.69% to ₹1,623.50, helped by renewed buying in IT stocks and supportive macroeconomic cues.
Shriram Finance rebounded 7.16%, ending at ₹644.50 after trading between ₹611.05 and ₹648.
Trent climbed 6.79%, closing at ₹5,460 after an intraday high of ₹5,478, supported by strong retail sentiment.

1,689.90 | -3.15 |
IndusInd Bank declined 3.45% to ₹790 after hitting a low of ₹786, under pressure from profit booking.
Sun Pharma fell 3.15%, closing at ₹1,689.90 after weak sectoral cues and selling in defensive stocks.
On May 12, 2025, Indian equities posted their strongest single-day rally in months, driven by cooling geopolitical tensions and improved investor sentiment. While financials and IT stocks led the gains, select pharma and banking names like Sun Pharma and IndusInd Bank saw profit booking.
With the India VIX falling sharply, market participants appear more confident in near-term stability. However, sustained performance will likely depend on upcoming earnings, policy clarity, and further geopolitical developments.
