Tech Sector Drives Sharp Recovery Across Domestic Equity Indices
The IT Stocks Rebound Rally transformed sentiment across Indian equity markets as headline benchmark indices recovered from early session losses on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. Led by strong quarterly earnings results from major technology exporters and renewed buying in HDFC Bank, the BSE Sensex surged over 1,100 points, while the NSE Nifty 50 reclaimed the key 22,700 mark.
The rally was spearheaded by HCLTech, whose shares jumped over 6% after the company reported a 21% year-on-year increase in second-quarter net profit to ₹5,132 crore. Strong deal wins across artificial intelligence engineering, cloud transformation, and enterprise software services bolstered investor confidence following weeks of global tech sector volatility.
