Indian Equities End Marginally Higher on Monday as Tech Buying Pares Early Losses

By

Indian benchmark indices closed slightly higher on Monday after a late-session recovery led by strong gains in technology stocks.

The BSE Sensex rose 77.05 points, or 0.1%, to close at 75,315.04, while the NSE Nifty 50 added 6.45 points, or 0.03%, to settle at 23,649.95.

Market sentiment remained cautious as the Indian rupee weakened to another record low of 96.39 against the U.S. dollar. Elevated crude oil prices and continuing uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict also kept investors on edge.

In corporate developments, JSW Energy (NSE:JSWENERGY, BOM:533148) gained nearly 3% after the company sold 25 million shares of JSW Steel (NSE:JSWSTEEL, BOM:500228) for 31.5 billion rupees through a bulk deal on the National Stock Exchange.

Zydus Wellness (NSE:ZYDUSWELL, BOM:531335) fell over 1% after fiscal fourth-quarter consolidated net profit declined to 1.62 billion rupees from 1.72 billion rupees a year earlier. Earnings per share slipped to 5.09 rupees, while revenue from operations increased to 14.8 billion rupees from 9.13 billion rupees.
