Indian Stock Market Wrap: Sensex Surges 773 Points as Auto and PSU Banks Push Nifty Past 25,250
Indian benchmark equity indices extended their post-Diwali rally on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, with headline indices closing near multi-month highs post-market close. Anchored by aggressive institutional accumulation across automotive, PSU banking, and metal heavyweights, Dalal Street shrugged off mid-session volatility to push benchmark levels past key technical resistance levels. Continued foreign portfolio inflows and a drop in global crude oil prices below $90/bbl further bolstered market sentiment.
At the closing bell, the BSE Sensex surged 772.75 points (+0.95%) to settle at 81,879.40. Concurrently, the NSE Nifty 50 gained 210.40 points (+0.84%) to finish at 25,255.05, reclaiming the 25,250 psychological barrier with conviction. Broader market participation remained strong, with both the Nifty Midcap 100 and Nifty Smallcap 100 advancing nearly 1%.
