Indian equity markets ended the session on a flat note, trimming early gains as investors resorted to selective profit booking amid a cautious global sentiment. Uncertainty surrounding global trade developments and the absence of fresh domestic triggers kept traders on the sidelines.

Key Indices Hold Steady

At the close, the Sensex gained 130 points (up 0.15%) to settle at 84,556.40, while the Nifty 50 edged higher by 22.8 points (up 0.09%) to close at 25,891.40.

IT Leads the Gains

The standout performer of the day was the Nifty IT Index, which surged 2.21% on renewed buying interest in leading IT majors — making it the top-performing sector of the session.
Other gainers included Private Banks, Media, and FMCG, reflecting stock-specific strength across key segments.
