Sensex Rises Over 800 Points as Reliance and Banks Lead Ahead of Q1 Earnings
The Indian stock market saw a significant rise with the Sensex gaining over 800 points and the Nifty 50 increasing by more than 200 points, driven by strong performances from major index heavyweights like Reliance Industries and private banks including HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank ahead of their Q1 FY27 earnings announcements. While private banks are expected to report healthy loan growth and stable asset quality, mid and small-cap indices declined amid geopolitical tensions and rising crude prices. Brokerages anticipate mixed results for HDFC Bank, with flat net interest margins but robust loan growth supporting overall performance.
