The Impressive TimesNew Delhi : The Indian stock markets opened on a strong note on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, as benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty extended their gains for the seventh consecutive session. The upward momentum was driven by a combination of factors, including sustained foreign inflows and strong domestic economic indicators, despite mixed global cues. The BSE Sensex surged by 311.90 points or 0.39% to begin trading at 78,296.28, while the NSE Nifty gained 112.2 points to open at 23,515.40. This bullish trend follows Monday’s session, where the Sensex closed at 77,984.38 and the Nifty ended at 23,658.35.
In early trade, market breadth remained positive, with a majority of stocks showing an upward trajectory. From the Sensex pack, UltraTech Cement led the gainers with a 2.49% rise, followed by strong performances from HCL Tech, Infosys, Larsen & Toubro, and TCS. Meanwhile, some heavyweight stocks faced early losses, including Tata Steel, IndusInd Bank, Nestle India, Bajaj Finance, and Hindustan Unilever. Tata Steel was among the top losers, slipping by 0.51% in early trading. Across the broader market, 1,783 stocks in the Nifty pack were trading in the green, while 202 were in the red, and 77 remained unchanged.
The ongoing bull run in the Indian stock market has significantly boosted investor wealth, with the BSE benchmark Sensex rising nearly 6% in the last week alone. This surge has contributed to an increase of ₹27.10 lakh crore in total market capitalization, underlining the optimism among market participants. Analysts attribute this rally to multiple factors, including Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) turning net buyers, injecting ₹13,765 crore in the last three days, which has helped fuel the momentum. In addition, short-covering by traders and improving macroeconomic conditions in India have played a crucial role in sustaining market enthusiasm.
According to Dr. VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments Limited, the recent 5.6% rally in the Nifty from its recent lows has been influenced by a mix of technical and fundamental drivers. The resurgence of retail investors, particularly in the midcap and smallcap segments, has further added to the market’s strength. With strong liquidity, positive earnings growth, and an optimistic economic outlook, the Indian equity markets are poised for further gains, barring any major global uncertainties.
Despite mixed global trends, the overall sentiment in the Indian stock market remains buoyant. Investors are closely watching upcoming economic data releases, global market movements, and corporate earnings reports to gauge the sustainability of the current rally.
