December 23, 2025

Indian equity benchmarks rose on Monday, led by information technology and banking stocks, and hopes that foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) will become net buyers soon.

- SUNDAR SETHURAMAN

The Sensex ended the session at 85,568, a gain of 638 points or 0.8 per cent. Nifty, meanwhile, ended the session at 26,172, a gain of 206 points or 0.8 per cent. For both indices, Monday's gain was the biggest since November 26. The total market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms rose by ₹4 trillion to ₹475 trillion.

Hopes of a US Federal Reserve rate cut next year have boosted expectations that FPIs will again turn buyers.
