The SENSEX Index Closes 0.64% Higher

India’s BSE Sensex closed about 0.5% firmer at 74,650 after another volatile session on Tuesday, halting a four-day losing streak, as investors stepped in to buy beaten-down large-cap and technology stocks. Meanwhile, sentiment improved after US President Trump said talks with Iran were still underway, easing fears that diplomatic negotiations had collapsed, which in turn pushed oil prices lower. Technology stocks remained the top performers, driven by ongoing optimism around global artificial intelligence investment and strong expectations for software demand. Tata Consultancy Services emerged as the top gainer, rising 6.5%, followed by Infosys (5.7%), HCL Technologies (4.1%) and Tech Mahindra (1.8%). Adani Ports and Titan also advanced firmly, up 1.8% and 1.3%, respectively. On the downside, NTPC dropped 2.9%, following NHPC lower after the government announced an offer for sale of shares at an 8% discount. Axis Bank (-1.7%) and Power Grid (-1.4%) followed closely.

India’s BSE Sensex fell about 0.4% at 73,954 on Tuesday, extending losses to a fifth straight session and hitting its lowest level since April, as investors remained cautious amid persistent foreign fund outflows, elevated crude oil prices, and uncertainty in the Middle East. Foreign investors continued trimming exposure to Indian equities, weighing on benchmark, with net outflows reaching about $26.4 billion so far in 2026, already exceeding the record annual outflow of $18.91 billion in 2025. On the corporate front, investors tracked developments at Ola Electric following its qualified institutional placement, while NHPC remained in focus after announcing plans for a stake sale. Wipro also drew attention after agreeing to increase its stake in Aggne Global. Notable laggards included Wockhardt (-5.6%), NHPC (-4.4%), Rail Vikas (-3.1%), and Supriya (-7.9%). Meanwhile, technology stocks helped cushion the decline, with TCS (+3.4%), Infosys (+4.2%), and LTM (+2.7%) among the top gainers.
