Indian equity markets are poised for a cautiously positive opening, influenced by global cues and Gift Nifty futures. Despite Foreign Institutional Investors being net sellers, the market shows consolidation with a bullish bias. Stocks in focus include Hero MotoCorp, which reported a 40% increase in December wholesales, and Coal India, noting production growth but a fall in offtake. NMDC saw a rise in iron ore production and sales, while Ola Electric's market share increased to 9.3% in December. MCX shares will trade ex-date for a 5:1 stock split.
