Indian stock market saw a modest close of the trading session today on October 7, 2025. The NSE Nifty 50 index gained 30.65 points i.e. 0.12% to close at 25,108.30, whereas the BSE Sensex gained 0.16% i.e. 136.63 points to close at 81,926.75. The green trading was primarily on the back of strong buying interest in major sectors such as banking, realty and healthcare, as a sign of mixed investor sentiment amid varied global hints and good corporate earnings.
Bank stocks were a major contributor, with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and Kotak Mahindra Bank gaining on better asset quality and positive credit growth estimates. Stocks in the healthcare sector, such as Max Healthcare and Apollo Hospitals, were up by about 1%, driven by stable demand for healthcare services and policy favour. IT sector saw a flat performance on the index but the stocks viz. Infosys, TCS and Happiest minds among others fell significantly. Wipro stood different rising against the downtrend in the sector.
Among individual stocks, Shriram Finance, Max Healthcare, and Apollo Hospitals were leading gainers on positive technical charts and robust fundamentals. On the contrary, Tata Steel, Adani Ports, and NTPC were on the laggards list as some investors chose to book profit following recent rallies.
Market experts blamed the global uncertainty for the turbulent performance in IT sector, and the positive momentum caused due to the robust Q2 earnings from blue-chip companies, complemented by consistent foreign institutional investor flows. Even selective sectoral weaknesses like metals and power could not taint the general resilience, reflecting a positive near-term trend.
Investors should watch for future corporate earnings and geopolitical events, such as worldwide inflation patterns and U.S. interest rate announcements, which might dictate market movement in the days ahead.
