Indian stock markets bounced back sharply on Tuesday, adding Rs 7.32 lakh crore in investor wealth as the Sensex rallied over 1,000 points. Read full market highlights.
Mumbai: In a much-needed breather for the Indian stock markets, investors gained a whopping ₹7.32 lakh crore on Tuesday as equity indices staged a strong comeback after a steep three-day decline. The benchmark BSE Sensex rallied 1,089.18 points, or 1.49%, to close at 74,227.08, snapping its recent losing streak.
During the day, the Sensex even surged as much as 1,721.49 points (2.35%) to hit an intraday high of 74,859.39, reflecting a strong wave of buying across sectors.
With the positive sentiment returning, the market capitalisation of BSE-listed companies soared to ₹3,96,57,703.44 crore, marking an impressive rise of ₹7,32,042.69 crore compared to Monday’s close. In dollar terms, this surge brought the total market cap to around USD 4.62 trillion.
What Drove the Market Rally?
Analysts attributed the sharp rebound to a combination of global and domestic factors. “Markets opened sharply higher following gains in Asian markets after another volatile session in the US. The brutal sell-off seems to have given way to a relief rally, with investors hopeful for positive developments, especially around global tariffs. On the domestic side, strong buying by Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) played a key role in cushioning Monday’s fall,” said Satish Chandra Aluri, Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk.
Monday’s Meltdown Reversed
Just a day before, on Monday, the markets had suffered a historic wipeout with a single-day wealth erosion of ₹14.09 lakh crore, triggered by global recession fears. Tuesday’s rally helped recover a significant chunk of those losses, breathing life back into the investor community.
Who Were the Top Gainers?
Among the Sensex pack, Titan, Bajaj Finance, State Bank of India (SBI), Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Bajaj Finserv, Axis Bank, Zomato, and Asian Paints led the charge. Interestingly, Power Grid was the only Sensex stock that ended in the red.
In broader markets, the BSE small-cap index jumped 2.18%, while the mid-cap index rose 1.87%, indicating strong participation beyond the large-cap segment.
Global Cues Also Turn Positive
Rebounding global indices also supported the sentiment back home. World markets recovered following Monday’s sell-off, providing a sense of relief to investors watching international cues closely.
A Much-Needed Relief for Investors
Tuesday’s strong recovery offered much-needed respite and signaled the resilience of Indian markets amid global uncertainty. While volatility is likely to persist, today’s rally shows that investors still have faith in the fundamentals—and are ready to seize the opportunity when optimism returns.
