The Indian stock market posted strong gains ahead of Independence Day 2025, with investors eyeing budget-friendly shares under ₹100 for potential short-term opportunities. Mohit Industries, Coffee Day Enterprises, Emami Paper Mills, and Geojit Financial Services emerged as notable picks.
The National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. and the BSE Ltd., the country’s two premier stock exchanges, saw a sharp rebound in trade as key indices rose significantly on Wednesday. The rally came amid diplomatic developments surrounding India’s international trade relations, boosting investor sentiment ahead of a market holiday.
The Nifty 50 index closed 131 points higher at 24,619, while the BSE Sensex ended with a 304-point gain at 80,539. The Bank Nifty index also inched higher by 137 points to finish at 55,181. The upward momentum reflected optimism over upcoming geopolitical discussions that could potentially ease existing trade frictions.
Market activity was supported by interest in lower-priced equities that present potential short-term gains for active traders. Shares priced under ₹100 drew strong attention, as their lower entry point allows for higher percentage returns in favorable conditions.
