Indian equity markets ended the session on a strong note on March 25, with the Nifty closing above the 23,300 mark. The rally was supported by sustained buying interest and broad-based participation across sectors. Gains were also aided by a sharp decline in crude oil prices and positive cues from Asian markets. Optimism around a potential de-escalation in the West Asia conflict further lifted overall market sentiment and risk appetite.

 

At the same time, the Indian rupee continued to remain under pressure. The currency ended near a record low at 93.97 per dollar, compared to 93.87 in the previous session, reflecting ongoing weakness in the rupee against the dollar.

Benchmark Indices Performance

At the closing bell, the Sensex surged 1,205 points, or 1.63%, to settle at 75,273.45. Meanwhile, the Nifty advanced 394.05 points, or 1.72%, to close at 23,306.45. The move highlighted strong momentum in the market throughout the day.
