Indian Stock Market Soars: Sensex Jumps 1,577 Points, Nifty Hits Record 23,328

Mumbai, April 15, 2025 — Indian equity markets witnessed a sharp rally on Monday, April 15, as easing global trade tensions and positive domestic cues fueled strong investor sentiment. The benchmark BSE Sensex surged by 1,577.63 points (2.10%) to close at 76,734.89, while the NSE Nifty 50 rose 500 points (2.19%) to settle at 23,328.55, marking a record high.

Key Market Drivers

• U.S. Tariff Exemptions:
  President Donald Trump announced a delay and possible exemption of new tariffs (excluding China), relieving concerns of a global trade war. This led to a risk-on sentiment across global markets.
• RBI Policy Boost:
  The Reserve Bank of India’s recent decision to cut repo rates and assure liquidity support further strengthened investor confidence, especially in the banking sector.

Sectoral Performance

• Auto Sector:
  Nifty Auto jumped over 3%, led by Samvardhana Motherson (+7.7%), Bharat Forge (+6%), and Sona BLW (+7.3%). Tata Motors gained over 5%, benefiting from its global exposure, especially in the U.S.
• Banking Sector:
  Financial stocks saw a massive uptrend. HDFC Bank rose 3.23%, closing at ₹1,864.90, nearing its 52-week high. IndusInd Bank spiked 7%, and ICICI Bank posted strong gains.
• Midcaps & Smallcaps:
  Broader markets followed suit, with Nifty Midcap 100 and Smallcap 100 gaining 2.5% and 2%, respectively, indicating widespread buying across sectors.

Global Impact

Asian markets, including Nikkei and Hang Seng, ended higher, riding on the U.S. tariff news. Lower-than-expected inflation data from the U.S. and China also calmed investor nerves globally.

Market Outlook

Experts believe that the positive momentum may continue in the short term, especially if global conditions remain favorable and earnings season delivers expected results. However, caution is advised due to the potential for volatility ahead of key economic data releases.
