Key gauges add some gains in morning deals
Sep-16-2025

Indian equity benchmarks added some gains in morning deals, amid hopes of progress in the India-US bilateral trade talks. A rally in global peers also instilled optimism in the domestic stock markets ahead of this week's US Federal Reserve policy meeting. Traders took support after a NITI Aayog in its report titled 'AI for Viksit Bharat: The Opportunity for Accelerated Economic Growth' stated that accelerated adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across industries can contribute $500-600 billion to India's GDP by 2035 on the back of increased productivity and efficiency in the workforce. Some support also came as Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated that India's agriculture sector recorded a growth rate of 3.7 per cent during the first quarter of 2025-26, the highest globally, and asserted that the government will continue prioritising farmers' welfare. On the global front, Asian markets were trading mostly in green as investors bet the US Federal Reserve would resume its easing cycle this week and potentially leave the door open to further rate cuts.
