Market Performance

In a choppy trading session, benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex advanced for a second consecutive day, supported by gains in IT and oil & gas stocks. The broader market mirrored the upbeat sentiment and marginally outperformed the frontline indices.

The gain was led by Reliance Industries, which jumped nearly 3 percent, extending its two-day gain to over 8 percent. The stock surged after the company reported robust Q4 earnings, with several brokerages raising their target prices. Analysts cited strong performance across segments, particularly a better-than-expected showing in the Oil-to-Chemicals (O2C) business.

Among sectors, Nifty IT led the pack with a 1.2 percent gain, as stocks like Wipro, HCL Tech, TCS, Infosys and Tech Mahindra topped the charts. The Oil & Gas index rose 0.42 percent, supported by gains in Reliance, BPCL, Oil India and GAIL. On the downside, Nifty Metal and Pharma slipped 0.8 percent each, while Realty, FMCG and Auto indices fell 0.2 percent.

Top gainers on the Nifty included Bharat Electronics, Trent, Tech Mahindra, Reliance Industries, and Eternal. Major laggards were Coal India, UltraTech Cement, ONGC, Sun Pharma, ONGC, and Dr Reddy's.
