MUMBAI – India's headline indices rose on Thursday, with the Nifty 50 closing above the psychologically important 25000 points for the first time in three weeks. The 50-stock index extended gains for seventh straight session, marking the longest winning streak since April.

 

The indices have been rallying ever since the government tabled its plans to restructure the goods and services tax to boost domestic consumption. This comes amid the rupee hitting a record low of INR 88.4550 against greenback intraday and closing at INR 88.4425 a dollar on Thursday. Investors aggressively bought oil and gas stocks while they sold shares of most information technology and automobile companies.

 

The Nifty 50 closed at 25005.50 points, up 32.40 points, or 0.1%. The 50-stock index had crossed 25000 points during Wednesday's session as well but failed to sustain the gains, closing just 27 points away from the level. Analysts had said that a close above 25000 points will attract investors and set fresh buying in motion. Gains in index heavyweight Reliance Industries also helped the 50-stock index to sustain the critical level. The next level to focus on for Nifty 50 is 25150 points, analysts said. Meanwhile, the BSE Sensex closed at 81548.73 points, up 123.58 points, or 0.2%

 

There has been optimism in the market since the government on Aug. 15 proposed GST reforms that would lower and rationalise GST rates to benefit consumers. This is expected to kindle domestic demand in Oct-Mar, especially during the festival season starting Sept. 22 with Navratri. Consumer-facing companies have rallied ever since, but came under some selling pressure in the past couple of sessions as investors exited their profitable positions. That said, analysts had also said that the rally in the Nifty 50 was very sector specific and there was no broad-based rise. They also said recovery in information technology and banking stocks will aid the Nifty 50 to score new highs. A slew of trade talks between India and different countries and blocs aided market sentiment this week, followed by a thaw in relations between the US and India after amicable exchanges between the leaders of both nations. The Nifty 50 had fallen as low as 24400 points when the US had imposed punitive tariff on Indian shipments hitting its coast.

 

Thursday, all the 15 Nifty Oil & Gas constituents closed higher with oil marketers and gas companies faring better than upstream companies. The sectoral index closed 1.1% higher and is up for the second straight session. Analysts at Citi are bullish on oil marketing companies such as Hindustan Petroleum Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp., and Indian Oil Corp. stating better earnings growth for the September quarter, government support, and attractive yields, as per a CNBC report. These stocks gained 1-2%.  

 

Most information technology stocks ended in the red after sharp gains in the past two sessions. Large-cap companies such as Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Wipro closed 0.3-1.5% lower. Infosys fell ahead of the company's proposed meeting to consider share buy back. The company did not specify the quantum of share buyback or the price at which it intends to purchase the shares. Some others such as Coforge, HCL Technologies, and Tata Consultancy Services bucked the intraday trend and closed a tad higher.

Among stocks, Jupiter Wagons closed 4.5% higher after its subsidiary company won an order worth INR 1.13 billion from the Railway Board. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone came off highs after gaining 2.5% intraday after global brokerage Macquarie raised its target price and reiterated a bullish call on the stock. Patanjali Foods plunged 67%, the lowest level since January 2021, as the stock traded ex-bonus on Thursday.
