India’s BSE Sensex edged up about 0.2% to 78,412, marking a fifth consecutive session of gains, as continued foreign fund inflows and upbeat corporate business updates offset caution ahead of the June-quarter earnings season.
Sentiment remained supported by sustained foreign portfolio investor inflows, with overseas investors net buyers for a fourth straight session, alongside easing crude oil prices and favourable monsoon progress.
Stock-specific moves were in focus following pre-earnings business updates.
Titan advanced 3.4% after reporting robust growth in its consumer business, driven by strong jewellery sales, while Jubilant FoodWorks gained 3.2% after posting higher consolidated revenue.
On the downside, Trent fell 11.1% and came under pressure after its quarterly revenue growth came in below some market expectations.
Other notable gainers were IOL Chemicals (18.9%), RITES (8.3%), and Ramco (6.3%), while the biggest losers included Kalyan (-6.8%), Apollo (-5.0%), and BSE (-3.8%).
