Sensex rises 190 points in early trade after two days of losses
The 30-share BSE Sensex advanced 190 points to 72,733.04 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty was up 22 points to 22,735.20
On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, the Sensex and Nifty indices rebounded in early trading after two days of decline. This recovery was driven by easing crude oil prices and gains in blue-chip IT stocks. The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 190 points to 72,733.04, while the 50-share NSE Nifty increased by 22 points to 22,735.20. Notable winners included Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, HCL Tech, InterGlobe Aviation, ICICI Bank, and Trent.
However, some stocks underperformed, such as Adani Ports, HDFC Bank, Sun Pharma, and NTPC. Brent crude oil prices rose by 0.68% to $103.3 per barrel, providing some relief to Indian equities, which had been pressured by high crude prices in recent sessions. However, oil price moderation comes amid ongoing uncertainty over the U.S.-Iran conflict and regional energy supply outlook.
Other Asian markets saw varied performances, with South Korea's KOSPI and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index falling, while Shanghai's SSE Composite and Japan's Nikkei 225 indices showed slight gains. On the previous trading day, September 29, 2026, the Sensex fell 242.65 points (0.33%) to 72,529.07, and the Nifty declined 64.05 points (0.28%) to 22,716.20.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) sold equity worth ₹9,980.22 crore on that day, leading to a drop in the market.
