Indian equities markets closed on a high in the green on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, as wide-based purchasing propelled leading indices Sensex and Nifty to new records, in spite of recent headwinds emanating from global trade concerns and continued FII’s selling.
Nifty closes above 24,800; Sensex above 81,330
The BSE Sensex rose 446.93 points, or 0.55%, to close at 81,337.95, while the NSE Nifty50 gained 140.20 points, or 0.57%, to close at a relaxed 24,821.10. Out of 30 Sensex shares, 20 ended higher, led by blue chip heavyweights like Reliance Industries, Larsen & Toubro, Asian Paints, Tata Motors, and Adani Ports, which all posted robust gains of up to 2.2%. Market breadth was distinctively positive: nearly 2,500 BSE stocks advanced against roughly 1,500 decliners, highlighting the day’s bullish sentiment.
All sectoral indices finished higher with significant outperformance in metal, pharma, realty, oil & gas, and healthcare shares, each of which rallied by more than 1%. The Nifty Midcap100 and Smallcap100 also joined the rally, gaining 0.8% and 1%, respectively.
Sectoral Performance: Gains in Realty and Pharma
Sectorally, major gainers were Nifty Healthcare, Realty, and Pharma, whereas autos, metals, energy, and infrastructure sectors also gained, each by almost 1%. Especially, Reliance Industries and group companies such as Jio Financial Services reported steep rallies, the latter increasing over 4% on the news of an intended board meeting to consider fund-raising plans.
Nifty and Sensex’s biggest gainers were Reliance, L&T, Asian Paints, Tata Motors, Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, and Jio Financials, while Axis Bank, Asian Paints, Titan Company, and TCS (touched a 52-week low) were the biggest laggards.
Experts’ opinion for hereon amid global concerns
Experts have noted solid performances in defensive spaces such as healthcare and realty, together with some heavyweight buying, as the major catalysts of today’s rally. Looking past concerns of a global market slowdown and India-US trade talk uncertainty that is yet to be resolved, looming over it with a deadline, solid domestic institutional buying and hopes surrounding quarterly earnings announcements going ahead have lent underpinning support to the market.
As investors forward look, sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with future corporate results likely to give further guidance. At present, the resilience of the Indian market and strong participation are painting a constructive near-term picture.
