Mumbai, Nov 26: Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty soared on Monday, gaining over 1% as investor sentiment was lifted by a strong rally in blue-chip stocks. The market saw significant buying interest in capital goods, energy, and banking sectors, contributing to the upward momentum.
The BSE Sensex surged 992.74 points, or 1.25%, closing at 80,109.85, while the NSE Nifty rose by 314.65 points, or 1.32%, to settle at 24,221.90. Major gainers included Larsen & Toubro, State Bank of India, and Reliance Industries, while stocks like JSW Steel and Infosys saw declines.
In a significant development, online food delivery giant Zomato will join the BSE Sensex from December 23, replacing JSW Steel, as part of the latest index reconstitution.
Overall, the market ended on a positive note, with both small and midcap indices also recording gains, reflecting strong investor confidence across sectors.
