The Nifty Bank index demonstrated the strongest performance, surging by 726 points or 1.2 percent to close at 61,518.5. This marked a significant milestone, as Nifty Bank approached a record high. The banking sector led the rally, with ICICI Bank among the top gainers in the Sensex. Foreign institutional investors played a crucial role in supporting financial stocks, with Bajaj Finance recording a more than 3 percent rise following the launch of its qualified institutional placement. Additionally, Shriram Finance and Bajaj Finserv emerged among the top gainers in the Sensex. Capital market stocks further contributed to the rally as unlisted shares of the National Stock Exchange posted a gain of over 2 percent. In the insurance sector, stocks benefited from positive business data releases, with HDFC Life leading the gains on the Nifty 50. Financial services providers like Pine Labs and Paytm also saw significant gains, advancing by more than 7 percent each. Notable outperformers included Godrej Industries, which surged 11 percent after securing a ₹2,500 crore investment from Temasek, and Kalyan Jewellers, which rose more than 20 percent amid a strong week of performance.
