Mumbai, India — April 7, 2026
India’s benchmark stock indices ended higher for the fourth consecutive session on Tuesday, supported by strong global cues and a decline in crude oil prices that boosted investor sentiment.
The BSE Sensex surged 509.73 points, or 0.68%, to close at 74,616.58, while the NSE Nifty advanced 155.41 points, or 0.68%, ending the session at 23,123.65.
Market Recovers After Early Losses
After opening on a weak note, markets staged a strong recovery, led by buying in information technology stocks. The rebound highlights continued resilience in domestic equities despite early volatility.
