Benchmark indices closed with nearly 2% gain on Friday, extending their six-day winning streak. As Nifty 50 breached the 25,000 level and BSE Sensex ended 1,718 points higher on Friday, the Indian stock market appeared to have defied the weak global stock market sentiment as sustained foreign fund inflows and easing crude oil prices boosted optimism among investors.
Among 30 Sensex firms, Mahindra & Mahindra ended with a 6.115% gain after the automaker reported upbeat Q2FY27 results. ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Titan, Axis Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank were also among the winners. Power Grid was the only laggard from the blue-chip pack.
