Indian stock markets witnessed a choppy trading session on Tuesday, with the Sensex closing at 66,174.20, marking a positive end after a day of fluctuations. The Nifty approached the 19,900 level, buoyed by heavy buying in select sectors. The major contributors to the market momentum were Adani Enterprises, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Coal India, which posted significant gains.
The energy sector, including energy and oil and gas companies, fared better, with a notable increase of around 3%. This increase came despite some sales activity seen in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. On the other hand, Eicher Motors and Apollo Hospitals did not perform as well, lagging behind in the day’s trading.
The overall market breadth remained stable as evidenced by a small gain in the BSE Midcap Index. The small-cap index closed flat.
