New Delhi, September 2(HS):

The Indian stock market displayed robust momentum in early trading on Tuesday, with key indices Sensex and Nifty showing sharp gains after initially wavering. The Sensex opened at 80,520.09 points, surged down slightly due to early selling pressure, but buyers quickly regained control, propelling the index to trade 0.37% higher by 10 AM and eventually standing 296.25 points up at 80,660.74. Similarly, the Nifty began at 24,653 points, faced a brief dip, but rallied to gain 0.40%, settling near 24,723.65.

Among major stocks, Reliance Industries, Tata Consumer Products, NTPC, Bharti Airtel, and Hindustan Unilever witnessed gains ranging from 1.11% to 1.80%, while Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Asian Paints, Hero MotoCorp, Hindalco Industries, and Tata Motors experienced declines between 0.54% and 0.94%. Market breadth was positive with approximately 1,740 shares advancing against 467 declining in early activity, reflecting generally optimistic investor sentiment.

The prior session on Monday had ended with the Sensex up 554.84 points (0.70%) at 80,364.49 and Nifty rising 198.20 points (0.81%) to 24,625.05, setting a bullish tone for Tuesday’s session. The market rally is seen as driven by value buying and renewed buying enthusiasm following a brief selling phase at open, signaling investor confidence in domestic economic indicators despite global uncertainties.

The overall market reaction underscores a resilient start to trading on September 2, 2025, buoyed by strong demand in key blue-chip stocks and a broad-based buying interest across sectors, supporting hopes of sustained upward momentum in the days ahead.

This early trading strength marks a sentiment rebound for Indian equity markets after a mixed start, with traders closely watching upcoming economic events and corporate developments.
