Sensex and Nifty50, which cover top companies across all sectors, moved up to finish at 80,927 and 24,593 points, respectively
The Indian stock market ended the day on a positive note on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. Investors showed strong interest in auto and IT stocks, which helped the market rise. Both the BSE Sensex and the Nifty50 indices moved higher during the session, supported by gains in several large companies.
The Sensex, which tracks 30 major companies, closed at 80,927. This was a rise of 190 points from the previous day. The Nifty50, which covers 50 top companies across sectors, also moved up by 51 points to finish at 24,593. This performance showed that investors were feeling more confident after recent market ups and downs.
Top Companies That Performed Well
Some of the top-performing companies today came from the auto and banking sectors. Shares of Bharti Airtel, Eternal, IndusInd Bank, Tata Motors, Tech Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, Tata Steel, Nestle India, and Mahindra & Mahindra all saw gains. These companies recorded increases of up to 1.4 percent during the day.
Auto stocks like Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki gained popularity as investors were hopeful about future car sales and good earnings. Mahindra & Mahindra also benefited from positive sentiment in the auto space. Bharti Airtel and Tech Mahindra performed well due to their strong business outlook in telecom and IT, which are seeing more demand.
Stocks That Lost Ground
While many stocks gained, there were a few that lost value. Some of the well-known companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Titan, Asian Paints, ICICI Bank, Adani Ports, Sun Pharma, and Axis Bank saw their stock prices fall slightly. The losses in these stocks were not very large but were enough to balance out some of the gains made by others.
These companies saw a small decline of up to 0.65 percent. Investors may have booked profits in these stocks after recent gains or responded to concerns about business conditions in their sectors. For example, pharma and banking stocks faced a bit of selling pressure due to global and local market factors.
Strong Movement in Broader Markets
It wasn’t just the large-cap stocks that saw movement today. The broader markets, which include mid-sized and smaller companies, also performed well. The Nifty MidCap index rose by 0.39 percent, and the Nifty SmallCap index went up by 0.63 percent. This shows that investors are not only putting money into large companies but also into smaller businesses that have growth potential.
The rise in midcap and smallcap stocks is often seen as a sign of strong overall market sentiment. When investors are confident, they usually look beyond the biggest companies and try to find value in growing sectors and emerging businesses.
Sector-Wise Performance
Different sectors showed different results in today’s trading session. The auto sector led the market with a gain of 0.5 percent. This came as investors expected good sales figures and better demand in both urban and rural areas. Companies like Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, and Mahindra & Mahindra were among the biggest contributors to this gain.
The IT sector also did well, rising by 0.54 percent. Investors turned positive on IT stocks after recent weakness, and companies like Tech Mahindra and Infosys attracted buying interest. Global demand for digital services and improved outlooks in the US and Europe helped IT stocks recover some of their earlier losses.
The metal sector also moved higher, though by a smaller margin of 0.22 percent. Metal companies like Tata Steel saw small gains as global commodity prices remained stable. Though metals did not lead the market, they still added to the overall positive momentum.
Major Block Deals
Apart from general trading, there were a couple of big block deals in the market today. Block deals are large share transactions that happen between big investors or institutions.
One of the major block deals involved Tata Technologies. Its share price fell by 1.6 percent after a US-based investment firm, TPG, reportedly sold 2.1 percent of its stake in the company. Around 9 million shares were traded at the start of the session at a price of ₹757 per share. The large sale created pressure on the stock price even though the company remains strong fundamentally.
Another major event involved Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail. Its share price dropped sharply by over 8 percent. This happened after Walmart-owned Flipkart sold its entire 6 percent stake in the company through a block deal. Nearly 29 million shares were sold at a price of ₹79.79 per share. This sudden selling created negative sentiment and caused the stock to fall during the day.
What Supported Today’s Rally
The market’s rise today was supported by several key factors. One of the biggest reasons was the strong performance in the auto and IT sectors. Positive global trends and hopes of steady economic growth helped lift investor sentiment. There was also buying by foreign institutional investors (FIIs), who have been showing renewed interest in Indian equities.
Additionally, lower inflation numbers released recently have led to expectations that the Reserve Bank of India may cut interest rates shortly. This helps businesses and consumers alike and adds to the optimism in the market.
Investors were also reacting to stable international market cues. Global markets, including those in the US and Asia, remained mostly positive, giving Indian investors more confidence.
Technical Outlook for the Market
From a technical point of view, the Nifty50 has strong support around 24,500. This means that if the market falls, buyers are likely to step in around that level. On the higher side, the index may face resistance near 24,800. If it crosses this mark, further gains are possible.
The Sensex, too, is approaching its record high levels of over 81,000. If positive momentum continues, new highs could be reached in the coming days. Market participants will be watching these levels closely to decide their next moves.
What to Expect Next
As the week progresses, investors will be keeping an eye on several factors. Corporate news, such as quarterly updates or strategic decisions, can affect stock prices. Global developments, including interest rate updates from the US Federal Reserve, will also be important.
Movements in oil prices can influence many sectors, especially transport and manufacturing. Changes in foreign investor activity can also swing the market either way. Overall, while the short-term outlook is positive, traders and investors should stay alert to any changes in the global or domestic environment.
