Indian equity markets provided another upbeat day on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, finishing higher on earnings-led strength and widespread buying across major sectors. Both the benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, recovered from initial volatility and were able to hold on to gains, with investors following corporate performance and sector-related action very closely.
Market ended Green
At the closing bell, BSE Sensex gained 144 points to close above 81,480, with the NSE Nifty50 closing a new high of 24,855, adding 34 points on the day. The indices gradually regained from marginal intraday lows, aided by bullish sentiment in IT, FMCG, and pharma stocks. Leaders in this day’s session were Larsen & Toubro (L&T), NTPC, Asian Paints, and Jio Financial Services, all of which experienced improved investor interest after robust quarterly earnings and encouraging management commentary.
The day’s action was as robust in sectoral leaders—IT and pharma were top performers with fresh buying on firming global demand prospects and stable rupee patterns. FMCG stocks too saw interest on hopes of better rural demand and strong earnings.
Midcap and smallcap stocks were firm, even though some segments saw minor profit booking. Top performers in the large-cap market were L&T, Power Grid Corporation, Punjab National Bank, and InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo), all boosted by positive Q1 FY26 results and future-oriented commentary by company managements.
DII buying on, FII outflow seems to continues
Overall market sentiment was also underpinned by the ongoing participation of domestic institutional investors (DIIs), whose continued inflows accommodated ongoing selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). On the F&O expiry date, market participants pointed to robust hedging activity and healthy rollover in major index and stock futures as contributing to the day’s stability and liquidity.
On the macro side, investor sentiments were supported by strong economic numbers and a benign expectation of the next few quarters. While world markets fluctuated on mixed reports and an ongoing US-China trade war, Indian equities recorded relative outperformance, with domestic triggers being priority.
‘Move with Caution’ Signboard
Analysts continue to be cautiously upbeat on the near-term, citing solid earnings visibility in some key heavyweight stocks, though warning of portfolio discipline as valuations creep up and sector rotation gains traction.
With the close of July month, investor attention will now begin to shift towards macroeconomic data releases and capital flow trends to determine the sustainability of this ongoing momentum. For today, Indian markets again demonstrated their resilience and depth by closing yet another session firmly in the green.
