Indian stock market rising today: Sensex Soars 850 Points, Nifty 50 Reclaims 24,283, 5 Big Reasons Behind Today’s Market Rally | Explained

Indian stock market rising today — In a spectacular start to the week, the Indian stock market witnessed a strong rally today, with benchmarks Sensex and Nifty 50 surging nearly 1% each. The Sensex jumped 850 points to hit 80,089, while the Nifty 50 reclaimed 24,283, fueled by a blend of positive global cues and strong domestic fundamentals.

The rally added over ₹3 lakh crore to investors’ wealth as the overall market capitalization on the BSE swelled to nearly ₹425 lakh crore.

Here’s a detailed look at why the Indian stock market is rising today:

1. Calm and Strategic Response Post-Pahalgam Terror Attack

Despite the shocking terror attack in Pahalgam, India’s measured diplomatic stance rather than immediate aggressive retaliation has instilled a sense of stability among investors.
The global community, including the US, has condemned the attack and is actively promoting dialogue between India and Pakistan. Experts believe the absence of immediate military escalation has helped boost market confidence, reducing geopolitical anxiety that could have otherwise triggered a sell-off.

“The market’s resilience shows it hasn’t priced in the risk of a full-blown conflict,” said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services.

2. Easing Global Trade Tensions

Global markets are breathing easier as the US-China trade tensions show signs of thawing.
Negotiations are reportedly progressing well, with US President Donald Trump expressing optimism over a potential deal.
The easing of global trade anxieties has helped improve risk appetite among investors worldwide, positively impacting Indian equities as well.

“The peak of tariff-related worries appears to be behind us,” said Pankaj Pandey, Research Head, ICICI Securities.

3. Strong Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) Buying

Foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) have turned aggressive buyers, pumping in nearly ₹32,465 crore into Indian equities over just eight days.
With concerns mounting over the US economic slowdown, FPIs are finding better growth opportunities in emerging markets like India.

“The weakening US economy and dollar depreciation have made Indian markets an attractive destination for global investors,” added Vijayakumar.

Sustained FPI inflows have given a solid liquidity push, further fuelling today’s rally.

4. Stellar Performance by Heavyweights: Reliance and Banks

Blue-chip stocks led the charge today.
Reliance Industries rose over 3% after its strong Q4 results, posting a 6% YoY rise in consolidated profit.
Meanwhile, banking giants like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank also posted strong earnings, beating street expectations and reinforcing optimism about India’s economic resilience.

“Banking and capital goods sectors are showing healthy growth momentum, which bodes well for market sentiment,” noted Pandey.

5. Buy-on-Dips Sentiment Amid Strong Economic Fundamentals

After two consecutive days of weakness, investors used today’s lower levels as a buying opportunity, driven by India’s robust macroeconomic fundamentals and expectations of a normal monsoon.
Sectors like healthcare, digital, capital goods, electronics manufacturing, and defence are seeing long-term investor interest.

“India’s growth story remains intact, driven largely by domestic demand rather than external trade,” said Varun Sharma, Fund Manager at Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund.

With a firm diplomatic response, improving global cues, strong FPI inflows, robust earnings, and positive macro fundamentals, the Indian stock market is showcasing remarkable resilience.
Today’s rally underscores that despite temporary geopolitical jitters, the long-term India growth story remains stronger than ever.
