Sensex rises 152 points, Nifty closes above 24,600 as market trims gains
Indian equity benchmarks Sensex and Nifty closed higher on Wednesday following the RBI's monetary policy decision to maintain interest rates while raising the FY27 GDP growth outlook. The positive sentiment was tempered by rising crude oil prices and geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which prompted markets to trim their early-session gains.
Auto and realty stocks led the rally, while information technology shares came under selling pressure. The mixed performance across sectors reflected investor caution amid global headwinds despite domestic economic growth expectations.
