New Delhi: The Indian equity markets today opened on a firm note on Tuesday, with benchmark indices trading higher in the pre-open session. Investor confidence was supported by a rebound in the previous session and early signs of stabilisation in global sentiment.
The BSE Sensex started slightly above 75,700, climbing nearly 200 points, while the NSE Nifty50 opened marginally higher above 23,400 as of 9:15 AM. In the pre-open session at 9:06 AM, the Sensex was at 75,830.35, up 327.50 points or 0.43 per cent, while the Nifty stood at 23,474.10, higher by 84.90 points or 0.36 per cent, indicating a strong start for domestic equities.
Key Movers in Early Trading
Among the 30-share Sensex, BEL, Asian Paints, Eicher, Bharti Airtel, and Sun Pharma were early gainers. On the other hand, Infosys, HCL Tech, Titan, UltraTech Cement, and Trent lagged in early trades.

In the broader markets, most indices remained volatile. Sectorally, the IT index dropped 0.98 per cent, while the Pharma index inched up 0.36 per cent, reflecting mixed sentiment among investors.
Markets Rebound After Three-Day Sell-Off
The rebound followed three consecutive sessions of sharp losses. Benchmark indices bounced back on Monday as investors stepped in to buy blue-chip stocks at lower levels:
Sensex gained 938.93 points (1.26%) to close at 75,502.85, touching an intra-day high of 75,805.27 and a low of 73,949.76.
Nifty rose 257.70 points (1.11%) to settle at 23,408.80.
Market analysts attributed the recovery to value buying in select large-cap counters, particularly in sectors like banking, auto, and FMCG, which are domestically focused.
Relief Rally, But Caution Persists
Experts described Monday’s rally as a relief move after the recent correction. Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments, said:
“The equity market staged a late-session rebound, supported by value buying in domestically oriented sectors such as auto, banking, and FMCG.”
He added that near-term sentiment will remain sensitive to developments in the Strait of Hormuz, where easing supply chain disruptions could further support markets.
Ajit Mishra, SVP, Research at Religare Broking, noted:
“Markets started the week on a volatile note and gained over a per cent, snapping their recent losing streak. However, overall mood remains cautious amid persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and elevated crude oil prices, which raise concerns over inflation and India’s import bill. Continued foreign institutional investor outflows and currency volatility are also keeping risk appetite in check.”
The Indian equity markets today reflect cautious optimism, with early gains tempered by global uncertainties, crude oil concerns, and geopolitical risks. Investors are advised to remain selective and watch for cues from both domestic and international developments.
