Indian Stock Market Update Sensex Climbs
Introduction
Indian investors witnessed another positive session on September 10, 2025, as the benchmark indices extended their upward momentum for the sixth consecutive day. The BSE Sensex climbed 324 points, or 0.40%, to settle at 81,425.15, while the NSE Nifty 50 advanced 105 points, or 0.42%, closing at 24,973.10. This rally added over ₹2 lakh crore to investors’ wealth in a single day, reflecting growing confidence fueled by easing US-India trade tensions and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
The market opened on a buoyant note, with the Nifty briefly scaling the psychologically important 25,000 mark during intra-day trading, driven by revival in trade talks between India and the US under the Trump administration. Sectors like information technology (IT) and public sector undertakings (PSU) banks led the charge, while the auto sector faced headwinds due to mixed sales data and global supply chain concerns. As Indian markets continue to navigate global uncertainties, today’s performance underscores the resilience of domestic equities, particularly in export-oriented sectors benefiting from a softer dollar and anticipated monetary easing from the US Fed.

This table highlights the broad-based recovery, with banking and IT sectors providing the much-needed thrust. The Nifty’s breach above 24,950 signals strong bullish sentiment, with analysts eyeing 25,250 as the next resistance level.
Sector Performance
Sectoral indices painted a mixed picture, but overall positivity dominated the landscape. The IT sector stole the show, surging 0.65% on the Nifty IT index, buoyed by positive global cues and expectations of lower US interest rates boosting outsourcing demand. PSU banks also advanced 0.80%, supported by robust credit growth data and government initiatives for financial inclusion.
In contrast, the auto sector lagged, declining 1.20% amid disappointing August sales figures from major players like Mahindra & Mahindra, which reported a 1% drop in domestic sales to 74,027 units despite a 15% rise in exports. The Nifty Auto index closed 0.95% lower, reflecting concerns over rising input costs and softening rural demand.
Other notable sectors included:
- Financial Services: Up 0.50%, driven by gains in private banks like Axis Bank and Bajaj Finance.
- Defence and Capital Goods: Strong performance with 1.10% gains, led by Bharat Electronics (BEL).
- Pharma: Flat at 0.10%, as investors awaited US FDA updates on key approvals.
- Realty: Gained 0.70% on expectations of interest rate stability.

Top Gainers and Losers
Individual stock movements revealed clear winners and losers, with defence and IT stocks shining brightly. Bharat Electronics (BEL) emerged as the star performer in the Nifty 50, rallying 4% to close at ₹320, fueled by fresh defence orders and geopolitical tensions boosting procurement. Wipro and HCL Technologies followed suit, each gaining over 2.6%, as the sector benefited from upbeat management commentary on Q2 earnings.
On the flip side, auto majors dragged the indices lower. Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) fell 2.5% to ₹2,800, impacted by the sales miss, while Bajaj Auto and Hero MotoCorp shed 1.8-2.2% amid broader sector pressures.

Key News Highlights
Several developments shaped today’s market narrative. First, former US President Donald Trump’s comments reviving trade talks with India sparked optimism, easing fears of protectionist tariffs and boosting export-heavy sectors like IT and pharma. Analysts at Business Standard noted that this could lead to a bilateral trade agreement by year-end, potentially adding $50 billion to India’s exports.
Second, anticipation of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in September gained traction after softer US inflation data, weakening the dollar and making Indian assets more attractive to global funds. This global tailwind supported the rupee, which appreciated 15 paise to 83.45 against the dollar.
In corporate news, Mahindra & Mahindra’s mixed sales report tempered auto enthusiasm, but positive updates from BlueJet Healthcare on new drug launches lifted select pharma stocks. Additionally, IPO activity heated up with Dev Accelerator and Shringar House of Mangalsutra opening for subscription, aiming to raise ₹143 crore and ₹401 crore respectively. These listings from GIFT City mark a milestone for international fundraising in India.
Other buzzworthy stocks included Vodafone Idea, which dipped on debt restructuring concerns, and Kotak Bank, facing scrutiny over regulatory compliance. For more on these, read LiveMint’s stock recommendations, where experts suggest buying Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, Adani Energy Solutions, and Titagarh Rail Systems.
Market Outlook and Expert Insights
Looking ahead, analysts maintain a bullish stance on the Nifty, with support at 24,900 and potential upside to 25,250 if trade talks progress smoothly. However, investors should watch upcoming CPI data from India and the US, as any inflationary surprises could trigger volatility. Sumeet Bagadia from Choice Broking recommends breakout stocks like Asahi India Glass (target ₹940) and Arihant Capital Markets (target ₹125) for short-term trades.
In the broader context, the market’s September rally—Sensex up 1,615 points so far—reflects India’s economic resilience amid global headwinds. With FII inflows resuming and corporate earnings season approaching, equities remain a compelling bet for Indian investors. Yet, diversification across sectors and prudent risk management are key, especially with auto and metals showing weakness.
Conclusion
September 10, 2025, reinforced the Indian stock market’s upward trajectory, with the Sensex and Nifty delivering solid gains amid positive global and domestic cues. IT and banking sectors propelled the benchmarks higher, while autos provided a cautionary tale on cyclical risks. As investors digest today’s events, staying updated on trade negotiations and Fed decisions will be crucial.Track ongoing developments at CNBC TV18’s market live blog.
