Indian stock markets continued their impressive upward trend for the third straight trading day this Monday, October 6, 2025. The benchmark Sensex surged by a remarkable 583 points, while the Nifty successfully crossed the significant 25,000-point threshold, fueled by strong investor confidence and strategic buying in key IT and financial sector stocks.
The 30-share BSE Sensex closed at 81,790.12, marking a gain of 582.95 points, or 0.72%. Throughout the day’s trading, the index even touched a high of 81,846.42, reflecting an intraday jump of 639.25 points, or 0.78%.
Similarly, the broader 50-share NSE Nifty index climbed 183.40 points, or 0.74%, to finish at 25,077.65. This impressive performance means the Nifty has added a total of 466 points (1.89%) over the past three sessions, firmly re-establishing itself above the 25,000-point mark due to sustained value buying from investors.
Leading the charge among Sensex-listed companies were significant gainers such as Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finance, Eternal, Infosys, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and Bajaj Finserv, all contributing substantially to the market’s positive momentum.
Conversely, some stocks saw declines, with Tata Steel, Adani Ports, Power Grid, and Titan ending the day as the primary laggards.
According to Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited, “The domestic equity market concluded the trading day on a strong positive note, largely driven by significant gains within the financial services and IT sectors, as investors anticipate upcoming Q2 results. The banking index, in particular, demonstrated superior performance, boosted by favorable quarterly updates from major scheduled banks and compelling valuations.”
Looking at broader market segments, the BSE midcap index saw a rise of 0.68%, although the smallcap index experienced a slight dip of 0.20%.
Sector-wise, the BSE Focused IT index led the gains with an impressive 2.21% increase. Other sectors performing well included the general IT index (up 1.96%), technology stocks (up 1.60%), the banking index (up 1.10%), healthcare (up 1.05%), and financial services (up 0.93%).
On the other hand, sectors that underperformed included commodities, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), telecommunications, utilities, and metal.
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research) at Mehta Equities Ltd, noted, “The market sustained its positive momentum throughout the session, primarily propelled by strength in banking, IT, and healthcare stocks. However, despite these gains, it wasn’t a broadly diversified rally, suggesting that underlying sentiment remains cautious with a slight bearish tilt, largely due to significant selling activity from foreign investors.”
Internationally, Asian markets presented a mixed picture. Japan’s Nikkei 225 index saw a substantial jump of nearly 5%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index closed in the red. Markets in China and South Korea remained closed for national holidays.
European stock markets were trading down, and U.S. markets had closed with mixed results on the previous Friday, October 3, 2025.
In the commodities market, global oil benchmark Brent crude experienced a rise of 1.78%, reaching $65.68 per barrel.
Exchange data revealed that Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers on Friday, October 3, 2025, offloading equities valued at ₹1,583.37 crore.
