Broad buying in technology and pharmaceutical stocks lifted Indian benchmark indices today, reversing losses from a sluggish opening session. The Nifty and Sensex both clawed back from early-morning lows as institutional investors picked up shares in sector heavyweights, stabilizing the market following a cautious start to the midpoint of the week.
The Nifty50 and the Sensex both trade higher during the day as investors show confidence in selected sectors. At the time of writing, the Nifty50 rises 0.16 percent or 38.65 points and stands at 23,862.75. At the same time, the Sensex gains 0.26 percent or 200.34 points and reaches 76,401.02.
The market opens flat, but buying gradually pushes both indices into positive territory. Stable movement in large-cap stocks keeps the overall market sentiment positive despite weakness in a few sectors.
The strongest support for the market comes from the technology and pharmaceutical sectors. The Nifty IT index jumps 1 percent, making it the best-performing sector during the session. Strong buying in technology companies helps lift the benchmark indices higher.
The pharma sector also performs well as investors continue to invest in healthcare-related stocks. Both the Nifty Pharma and the Nifty Healthcare indices trade higher and remain among the day's top sector performers.
Among companies listed on the Nifty50 index, some major stocks record notable gains during the session. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories emerges as one of the biggest gainers as pharma stocks attract strong buying interest.
Tech Mahindra also performs strongly and benefits from the sharp rise seen across the IT sector.
Along with them, ICICI Bank remains among the top gainers and adds further strength to the benchmark indices.

While benchmark indices trade higher, the broader market presents a slightly weaker picture. The Nifty MidCap index trades 0.04 percent lower, showing limited weakness among mid-sized companies.
Meanwhile, the Nifty SmallCap index slips 0.12 percent, reflecting cautious participation in smaller stocks.
This mixed trend suggests that investors remain selective and continue to focus mainly on large-cap stocks instead of taking aggressive positions across the broader market.
Although the IT and pharma sectors perform well, several other sectors remain under pressure during the trading session. The Nifty Metal index trades lower as metal companies witness selling activity.
The Nifty Consumer Durables index also underperforms as buying interest remains weak in consumer-focused companies.
At the same time, the Nifty Auto index stays among the weaker sectors of the day as automobile stocks fail to attract fresh momentum.
