NEW DELHI: The
Reserve Bank of India
's upcoming interest rate decision, along with key macroeconomic data releases and global market cues, will play a pivotal role in determining equity market movements this week, according to market analysts.
Marking the opening for June, market sentiment will also be shaped by trading patterns of Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and developments on the tariff front, according experts quoted by PTI.
"Looking ahead, all eyes will be on the outcome of the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting scheduled for June 6. Additionally, with the new month beginning, participants will track high-frequency data including auto sales numbers and other economic indicators.
Updates on the progress of monsoon and the trend in FII flows will also be closely monitored," said Ajit Mishra, Senior Vice President, Research, Religare Broking Ltd.
He added that fluctuations in the US bond market and updates on international trade negotiations will continue to impact global investor confidence.
India's economy exceeded expectations in the final quarter of 2024–25, recording an annual growth rate of 6.5 per cent.
This expansion raised the country's GDP to $3.9 trillion, positioning India to potentially surpass Japan as the world's fourth-largest economy in FY26.
The January–March quarter alone saw a 7.4 per cent growth rate, marking a strong end to FY25. This robust performance was driven by higher consumer spending and notable gains in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
Investors will also be closely watching the upcoming Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data for both manufacturing and services sectors.
"This week, interest rate-sensitive sectors, particularly PSU banks, are likely to remain in focus amid growing hopes of an RBI rate cut. Additionally, the release of monthly auto sales and volume data could trigger sector-specific moves in the automobile space," said Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research – Wealth Management, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd.
Last week, markets ended lower, with the
BSE
benchmark falling by 270.07 points or 0.33 per cent, and the
NSE
Nifty declining by 102.45 points or 0.41 per cent.
Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services said, "The market is pricing in a 25 bps cut, which will improve the outlook for rate-sensitive sectors. The positive macroeconomic scripts can boost investor sentiments, but stability in the broader market will be contingent on strong earnings growth and receding trade tensions."

Govt eases SEZ rules to promote chips, electronics component manufacturing
The government has unveiled a series of policy relaxations aimed at boosting high-tech manufacturing, including semiconductors and electronic components in special economic zones (SEZs). According to a gazette notification issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the minimum land requirement for setting up such SEZ units has been reduced from 50 hectares to 10 hectares. The relaxed norms will apply to sectors including semiconductors, display module sub-assemblies, various other module sub-assemblies, printed circuit boards, lithium-ion battery cells, mobile and IT hardware components, hearables, and wearables. These changes, under the Special Economic Zones (Amendment) Rules, 2025, came into effect on June 3, 2025. 'We want to promote the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronic components. These are mostly single-unit SEZs where the 50-hectare rule may have been an issue. That's why we have reduced the size to 10 hectares,' said a commerce department official, requesting anonymity. 'Semiconductors require significant investment and take time to turn profitable. That's why we have also provided concessions in Net Foreign Exchange (NFE) calculations. We expect major investments and substantial job creation.' Under the revised guidelines, for units providing semiconductor manufacturing services, the value of goods received or exported on a free-of-cost (FOC) basis must now be included in NFE calculations, aligning SEZ norms with Customs valuation practices. SEZ units are required to be net foreign exchange earners over a five-year period -- a key condition for accessing various benefits under the SEZ Act, such as duty-free imports of inputs and capital goods. Launched in 2021 as part of the broader production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) aims to develop a robust semiconductor and display ecosystem and position India as a global hub for electronics manufacturing and design. The government is currently working on the next phase of the ISM rollout. Asked why semiconductor firms would prefer SEZs over domestic tariff areas (DTAs), the official said: 'SEZs offer Customs and integrated GST (IGST) benefits. So it is always beneficial to have units in SEZs than in DTAs because semiconductor manufacturing requires a lot of capital goods to set up a plant.' Kunal Chaudhary, a partner at EY, said the SEZ Amendment Rules, 2005, align India's policy framework with the strategic objectives of high-tech manufacturing sectors. 'These amendments provide greater flexibility in land usage and establish a clear methodology for NFE computation -- key steps to drive export growth,' he said. Manufacturing service providers based in SEZs will now be permitted to source capital goods, raw materials, components, and consumables from the domestic market, in addition to imports. The government has also expanded the options for the movement of finished goods: SEZ units can now supply to DTAs upon payment of applicable duties or transfer goods to a free trade and warehousing zone (FTWZ), even if located in a different SEZ, based on instructions from the overseas entity. 'The concession applies only to NFE calculation. Often there is a parent company abroad, and the SEZ unit provides manufacturing services for it. This move encourages them to not only export but also serve the domestic market. That way, India benefits from foreign exchange earnings,' the official explained. Vivek Jalan, partner at Tax Connect Advisory Services, said the amended rules provide SEZ units with greater flexibility to retain tax advantages. 'Earlier, finished goods could only be exported or moved to a Customs-bonded warehouse maintained by the overseas entity. Now, these goods can be supplied to the DTA with duty payment or transferred to a FTWZ unit run by the overseas entity, whether in the same or a different SEZ,' he noted. In addition, the minimum land requirement for multi-product SEZs in several states and Union Territories --Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Goa, Andaman & Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Ladakh, and Puducherry -- has been lowered from 20 hectares to 4 hectares.
