Stock Market Close Highlights: Sensex Adds 230pts, Nifty Above 24,250; NTPC Green, Adani Shares Shine

 


The Indian stock market closed on a positive note on Wednesday, as both the benchmark indices, the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty50, registered gains. The rally was in line with global market trends, fueled by investor optimism and encouraging performance across several key sectors.

Sensex and Nifty Perform Strongly

The BSE Sensex soared to an intra-day high of 80,511.15 points before settling at 80,234.08, up by 230.02 points or 0.29% from its previous close. This positive movement reflects a steady uptrend in the Indian equity market, supported by favorable global cues.

Similarly, the NSE Nifty50 ended the session at 24,274.90, gaining 80.40 points or 0.33%. The index traded within a range of 24,354.55 and 24,145.65, reflecting intraday volatility but ultimately closing higher. The Nifty50’s closing marks another step toward breaking key resistance levels in the near future.

Sectoral and Stock Performance

The market’s positive momentum was supported by a broad-based rally, with 25 out of the 50 Nifty50 stocks ending the day in the green. Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, BEL, Trent, and NTPC were among the top gainers, with gains extending as high as 11.56%. NTPC, in particular, was a standout performer, with its shares rising after the debut of NTPC Green Energy, which gained 8.74% to end at Rs 121.25 on the NSE. This was a significant debut for the renewable energy arm of NTPC, signaling strong investor confidence in green energy stocks.

On the other hand, Apollo Hospitals, Titan Company, Wipro, Shriram Finance, and Hindalco were among the laggards, with losses extending up to 1.34%. These stocks faced some profit-taking after recent rallies, contributing to the mixed sentiment in certain sectors.

Broader Market Outlook

The broader markets saw strong performance as well. The Nifty Smallcap100 index led the charge, rising 1.30%, while the Nifty Midcap100 index added 0.64%. Small-cap stocks, in particular, garnered attention, with investors flocking to mid-tier companies, which often provide higher growth potential but come with increased volatility.

Sectoral Performance: Green Across the Board

In terms of sectoral performance, most sectors ended in the green, reflecting a strong overall market sentiment. However, Nifty IT, Pharma, PSU Bank, Realty, and Healthcare indices were exceptions, closing in the red. These sectors faced some headwinds, as investors took a cautious approach in certain defensive and rate-sensitive segments.

The BSE SmallCap index rose by 1.18%, while the BSE MidCap index gained 0.34%, showcasing a broader market rally beyond just the large-cap stocks. The market's bullish sentiment was also reflected in the Nifty Financial Services and Nifty Metal indices, which posted healthy gains.

Key Resistance Levels for Nifty

Looking ahead, 24,500 remains a crucial resistance level for the Nifty50 index. If the index manages to sustain above this level, it could signal further upside in the coming sessions. On the downside, the immediate support levels to watch are around 24,000.

Conclusion

The Indian stock market closed on a positive note today, with the Sensex adding 230 points and the Nifty50 hovering above the 24,250 mark. Strong performances from stocks like Adani Enterprises, NTPC, and the debut of NTPC Green Energy provided significant momentum. Despite some weakness in certain sectors like IT and Pharma, the overall market sentiment remains optimistic.

As investors continue to monitor global developments, the key focus will be on whether the indices can maintain their upward trajectory and overcome technical resistance levels in the short term.
