Nifty 50, Sensex end 1% higher on RBI's double bonanza, investors earn ₹3.6 lakh crore- 10 key highlights
Stock market today: Indian stocks ended with stellar gains during Friday's trading session as the RBI's double bonanza—a 50 basis point cut in the repo rate and a 100-basis point cut in the CRR—boosted expectations of improved credit demand and a recovery in domestic growth. The surprise move came just as Indian equities had lost momentum, with the Nifty retreating over the previous two weeks amid concerns over rich valuations and global trade uncertainty. Rate-sensitive stocks, led by real estate, financials, and auto, emerged as top performers, while expectations of an above-normal monsoon lifted the FMCG pack. An across-the-board buying lifted the market capitalisation of all BSE-listed firms to ₹ 451.1 lakh crore from ₹ 447.5 lakh crore in the previous session, making investors richer by about ₹ 3.6 lakh crore in a single session. Stock Market Today: 10 Key Highlights Here are 10 key highlights of the Indian stock market today: A deeper-than-expected repo rate cut and additional liquidity infusion through a CRR cut pushed both the Nifty 50 and Sensex higher, with each ending the session up over 1%. The Nifty 50 closed with a gain of 252 points, or 1.02%, at 25,003, while the Sensex jumped 443 points, or 1%, to close at 82,188.

Among the 13 sectoral indices, the Nifty Realty index emerged as the top performer, gaining over 4.68% as investor optimism grew that the 100 basis point CRR cut could encourage urban homebuyers. In fact, real estate stocks had gained traction on Dalal Street ahead of the RBI's MPC meeting, fueled by growing expectations of a rate cut.

Other sectoral indices, including Nifty Auto, Nifty FMCG, Nifty Consumer Durables, and Nifty Oil and Gas, have also gained over 0.60%.

Today's rally also pushed the index's weekly return to 2.4%. In addition to mid-cap counters, small-cap stocks also performed well, as the Nifty Smallcap 100 index rallied by 0.80%. The broad-based rally led 45 Nifty 50 constituents to close in the green, with financial stocks including Shriram Finance and Bajaj Finance emerging as top gainers, rallying 5.7% and 5%, respectively.

The second-highest volume gainer was IDFC First Bank, with 133 million shares changing hands.
