India’s benchmark equity indices surged sharply on Tuesday, erasing all losses from last week’s tariff-driven selloff after investor sentiment was buoyed by signs of easing tensions in U.S. trade policy and strong gains across sectors.
The Nifty 50 climbed 502 points, or 2.2%, to close at 23,329, while the S&P BSE Sensex jumped 1,578 points, or 2.1%, ending at 76,735. The broader rally pushed up the market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms by ₹11 lakh crore to a total of ₹412 lakh crore.
All 13 sectoral indices ended in the green, with auto and realty stocks leading gains. The Nifty Auto index rose over 5%, tracking global relief after reports suggested former US President Donald Trump may soften proposed tariff hikes. The Nifty Realty index surged nearly 8%, with Lodha Group shares rising after a reported resolution between promoter brothers.
