Indices maintain gains in late morning deals
Jun-25-2026

Domestic equity indices maintained their gains in late morning trade as market participants indulged in enlarging their positions. Buying in stocks such as InterGlobe Aviation, Maruti Suzuki India, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hindustan Unilever, and State Bank of India helped both the Sensex and Nifty recapture their psychological levels of 77,500 and 24,150, respectively. Falling crude oil prices and positive cues from other Asian markets supported sentiment. Crude oil prices dropped as investors bet global crude supplies would improve after tankers that had been stranded in the Persian Gulf for months began leaving the Strait of Hormuz. On the BSE sectoral front, traders were seen piling up positions in Auto, Consumer Disc, Realty, FMCG and Healthcare, while selling was witnessed in Metal, Oil & Gas, TECK, Energy and Consumer Durables.

On the global front, Asian markets were mostly trading in green despite mostly negative cues from the US markets overnight. Back home in the stock specific development, Texmaco Rail & Engineering rose as the company secured Letter of Acceptance (LoA) worth Rs 6.28 crore (including taxes) from Western Railway.

Meanwhile, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has met exporters and industry representatives to discuss ways to boost outbound shipments and fully utilise the benefits of free trade agreements (FTAs). The deliberations focused on strengthening support for MSMEs, maximise opportunities through FTAs, foster innovation and deep-tech capabilities, improve export facilitation, and expand India's role in global value chains.    

Representatives from various Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) and industry associations attended the meeting, which reviewed strategies to strengthen India’s export ecosystem, diversify markets, and improve global trade competitiveness. Several EPCs presented their sector-specific export performance and KPI (key performance indicator) progress. The ministry's arm, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), has identified four KPI pillars - export performance, market diversification, exporter ecosystem, and policy facilitation.
