Closing Bell: Sensex settles 410 pts higher after choppy trade, Nifty above 24,700; Tata Steel jumps 6%, Hindalco 3%
Economic Times |
Synopsis
Nifty 50 | Sensex Today | Stock Market LIVE Updates: Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty ended higher on Wednesday, with banking and metal stocks leading gains, while investors awaited updates from a Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council meeting expected to weigh rate cuts on several products.
Indian benchmark indices ended higher following a choppy opening.
Sensex Today | Nifty 50 | Stock Market LIVE Updates: The NSE Nifty advanced 135.45 points, or 0.55%, to finish at 24,715.05, while the BSE Sensex jumped 409.83 points, or 0.51%, to settle at 80,567.71.
On the 30-stock Sensex, Tata Steel, Titan, Mahindra & Mahindra, ITC and Eternal were among the top performers, climbing between 1% and 6%. Tata Steel shares rose 6% and topped gains on both benchmarks.
The Nifty Metals index led sectoral gains, rising 3.1%, as analysts at CLSA said steel prices in India are poised to strengthen, supported by global trends and seasonal demand. CLSA cited the impact of China’s “anti-involution” policy, aimed at curbing steel output, as a tailwind for Indian producers.
Auto and consumer stocks each advanced roughly 0.7%, bolstered by expectations of consumption-supporting tax cuts at the ongoing GST Council meeting. The IT index was the only major laggard, falling 0.7% after U.S. manufacturing data showed a sixth consecutive month of contraction in August, raising concerns for Indian IT firms, which derive a significant portion of revenue from the U.S.
Broader markets also gained, with small-cap and mid-cap indices up 0.9% and 0.7%, respectively.

GST, tariffs, and market moves: Manishi Raychaudhuri decodes what investors should watch out for
As India heads into a key two-day GST meeting, attention is on how tax rationalisation could shape domestic demand. Analysts note that lowering slabs—especially reducing rates on discretionary goods from 28% to 18% or even 5%—may lift consumer sentiment, though the benefit will hinge on how much reaches buyers. Read more
Indian equities closed higher after a mixed start to the session, buoyed by expectations of a consumption-led stimulus from the potential GST slab rationalization. All categories of consumer-based sectors, like discretionary, durable and staples, continued to outperform. In the near term, market sentiment hinges on the outcome of the GST Council meeting with traction on consumption-oriented stocks and sectors. Well, the expectations are very high, increasing the risk of disappointments, which can kickstart consolidation again.
