Indian equity markets experienced a mixed close to the previous week, with the Sensex and Nifty seeing declines on Friday, January 9, 2026, amid geopolitical tensions. However, the focus is shifting to third-quarter earnings reports from major companies like TCS and HCL Tech this week. IREDA reported a significant year-on-year profit increase for the December quarter. Several other companies, including Signature Global and ICICI Lombard, also released financial updates, with some facing scrutiny over corporate governance. Market participants are also monitoring foreign and domestic institutional investor activity.
