India’s BSE Sensex Index reversed early losses to close about 0.3% up at 73,319.55 on Thursday, marking the second day of advances, despite fading hopes of a quick end to the Iran war and a sharp rise in oil prices. IT stocks provided the main support, as investors positioned ahead of upcoming quarterly earnings from major players like TCS and Infosys next week. HCLTech, Tech Mahindra, Infosys and TCS rose between 1.8% and 3.5%. Other gainers included Maruti, Titan, Bajaj Finance, HDFC Bank, Trent, BEL, IndiGo and Axis Bank. Among losers, Sun Pharma fell 1.7% following a report that the US administration may impose tariffs on drugmakers that have not agreed to lower prices in the US. On the data front, a final PMI survey showed India's factory sector growth slowed to a near four-year low in March. For the week, the index shed about0.4%. The Indian stock market will remain closed on Friday, April 3, 2026, on account of the scheduled holiday for Good Friday.
