India’s benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty closed lower after earlier gains, while technology shares posted notable gains.
The National Stock Exchange’s Sensex and the Bombay Stock Exchange’s Nifty ended the trading session on a lower note, after a brief rally earlier in the day. Market participants noted a pullback in overall sentiment, with technology sector stocks standing out as the only bright spot. Leading IT companies recorded gains, contributing to a modest rise in the sector index. The decline in the broader indices was attributed to profit‑taking and a cautious market outlook amid global economic uncertainties. Analysts suggest that the IT sector’s resilience may provide a stabilising influence in the coming days.
