The bullish sentiment was driven by positive global cues and improved risk appetite among investors.
The market rally was broad-based, with IndiGo emerging as the top Nifty 50 gainer, surging 6.74% in early trade. The aviation stock’s jump comes amid strong investor enthusiasm following its recent inclusion in the benchmark Sensex index, replacing Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.

Other notable gainers included Shriram Finance, Trent, Asian Paints, State Bank of India, and Bajaj Auto, which advanced between 3.42% and 5.32%. The positive momentum was supported by easing crude oil prices and improved global sentiment, particularly following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a pause in the Strait of Hormuz escort operation.
The gain in Indian markets also tracked gains in Asian peer markets, reflecting strong global risk appetite. Experts noted that key global triggers this week include earnings from major US technology companies and policy decisions by central banks such as the US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and Bank of Japan.
The market’s positive start reflects confidence in India’s economic resilience and growing investor interest in key sectors like aviation, automobiles, and financials.
