Previous close · 26 Oct 2026 · Nifty has closed between +0.5% and +1.0% on 222 of the last 1,285 sessions.
In the previous session, Indian equities showed a modest uptrend with broad-based gains across sectors. The Reserve Bank of India's decision to inject liquidity to ease borrowing rates provided a positive backdrop for the market. This move came as tighter cash conditions threatened to elevate borrowing costs, potentially impacting economic growth. Additionally, Ather Energy's announcement of expanding its manufacturing capacity in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra contributed to its position as the top gainer. Global cues were mixed, with geopolitical tensions involving Iran and oil supply disruptions in the Middle East raising concerns in the energy sector.
