Sensex Climbs 287.93 Points To 81,836.66, Nifty Rallies 84.25
Sensex, Nifty Rise in Early Trade
By TIN24 Editor AMIT ALHAT
Mumbai, September 12, 2025 – Indian equity benchmarks opened on a positive note Friday morning, buoyed by strong buying in banking and IT stocks amid favorable global cues. The BSE Sensex surged 287.93 points, or 0.35%, to hit 81,836.66 in early trade, while the NSE Nifty 50 climbed 84.25 points, or 0.34%, to reach 25,049.35.
The uptick comes after a volatile week marked by mixed signals from international markets, including a steadying U.S. dollar and easing concerns over inflation data from the Federal Reserve. Investors appeared optimistic about potential rate cuts in the coming months, which could boost liquidity and support emerging markets like India.
Top gainers on the Sensex included HDFC Bank, which rose 1.2% following reports of robust quarterly loan growth, and Infosys, up 1.1% on the back of renewed demand for digital transformation services. Other notable performers were Reliance Industries (up 0.8%) and ICICI Bank (up 0.9%). On the flip side, metal stocks like Tata Steel and JSW Steel dragged slightly, down 0.5% each, due to lingering worries over global commodity prices.
The broader market also showed resilience, with the BSE Midcap index advancing 0.4% and the Smallcap index gaining 0.3%. Market breadth was positive, with 1,850 stocks advancing against 1,200 decliners on the BSE.
Analysts attribute the early gains to foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows, which totaled ₹1,200 crore in the previous session, signaling renewed confidence in India’s growth story. “The market is reacting positively to stable macroeconomic indicators and expectations of a strong festive season demand,” said Rajesh Mehta, chief strategist at Mehta Investments. “However, volatility could persist if geopolitical tensions in the Middle East escalate.”
Globally, Asian markets were mixed, with Japan’s Nikkei up 0.6% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng down 0.2%. Wall Street had closed higher overnight, with the Dow Jones gaining 0.4% on tech-led rallies.
As the trading session progresses, all eyes will be on upcoming economic data, including India’s industrial production figures for August, which could influence sentiment. Traders are advised to monitor key support levels at 81,500 for Sensex and 24,900 for Nifty.
This early rally sets a cautiously optimistic tone for the day, potentially extending the benchmarks’ recovery from recent dips.
