Mumbai – The Indian stock market today commenced with a strong and decisive rebound, successfully snapping a three-day losing streak. While the Sensex rose 555 points to close the day at 80,364, the Nifty 50 firmly reclaimed the 24,600 mark, closing at 24,625.
This widespread market optimism was substantially fuelled by the release of upbeat Q1 GDP data, which reported a robust 7.8% growth. The automotive sector, in particular, emerged as a prominent driver of this positive market sentiment.
Leading the charge among individual stocks and contributing significantly to the Nifty’s uplift was Bajaj Auto Limited . Its equity value climbed considerably, adding a substantial amount to its share price to close at ₹8,978.00.
This strong performance followed the release of the company’s August 2025 sales figures, which indicated an overall increase in total sales across 2-wheelers and commercial vehicles compared to the previous year.
A key highlight of these figures was a strong surge in 2-wheeler exports, alongside a notable increase in commercial vehicle exports, which effectively offset a decline in domestic 2-wheeler sales.
Mahindra & Mahindra Limited also played a significant role in the market’s positive trajectory, with its share price rising notably, increasing its value to close at ₹3,312.00. The diversified conglomerate presented a mixed, yet overall encouraging, sales picture for August 2025.
While its automotive division reported overall auto sales with flat year-on-year growth including exports, and a decrease in domestic Utility Vehicle sales, the Farm Equipment Business delivered an exceptionally strong performance, with domestic tractor sales growing substantially compared to the previous year.
This robust agricultural performance helped balance some challenges in its Trucks & Buses business, which experienced a sales de-growth, attributed partly to uncertainty surrounding proposed GST revisions and heavy rainfall.
Beyond these top performers, the broader market also saw several other companies within key sectors post healthy gains, further underscoring the positive mood that propelled the Nifty 50. Stocks of Hero MotoCorp Limited, Eicher Motors Limited, and Tata Motors Limited increased. Additionally, Trent Limited also posted a healthy gain.
Despite the widespread gains, a few prominent stocks experienced declines. Shares of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited dropped. A significant participant in the FMCG industry, ITC Limited, also saw a decline.
Conclusion – Stock Market Today at a Glance
Today’s trading session, however, predominantly reflected renewed investor confidence, with the Nifty 50’s strong recovery indicating a positive outlook driven by favourable economic data and robust performances in key sectors like automotive.
