Indian stock market climbs on Sensex gain

India’s benchmark BSE Sensex climbed 152 points to 78 581 and the NSE Nifty added 63 points, driven by a recent dip in global crude‑oil prices and optimism that the Reserve Bank of India will keep its policy stance unchanged.

The modest rally came despite broader market turbulence, with sectoral gains led by information‑technology and financial stocks.

Analysts said the market’s upward move reflects confidence in India’s growth outlook and the continued inflow of foreign portfolio investments.

The rally also lifted sentiment ahead of upcoming earnings season.
