Sensex zooms 746 pts, Nifty50 reclaims 24,550 led by financial, energy shares

Domestic equity benchmarks staged sharp upmoves on Monday amid broad-based buying led by financial, energy and automobile shares. Index heavyweights like SBI led the upmove as investors cheered robust financial results for the first quarter of FY26. Globally, investors remained on the back foot, assessing the potential impact of US tariffs on economic growth. 

Both headline indices rose 0.9 per cent for the day. The Sensex added 746.3 points to its previous close to end at 80,604.1 while the Nifty50 gained 221.8 points to settle at 24,585.1. 

Adani Enterprises, Tata Motors, Eternal, Grasim, Apollo Hospitals, Jio Financial Services and Trent–rising between 2.1 per cent and 4.2 per cent for the day–were the top gainers in the 50-scrip Nifty basket. 

On the other hand, Hero MotoCorp, BEL and Bharti Airtel–closing between 0.2 per cent and 0.8 per cent lower–were the worst hit among the six Nifty50 losers.
