The Sensex and Nifty News today carried a familiar tone. A strong start. A sharp intraday rally. Then profit booking. By the closing bell, the market held on to gains—but just about.
On February 25, the frontline indices ended in the green. The broader market, however, did the real heavy lifting.
Let’s break down what really happened in today’s Sensex and Nifty News.
Market Performance: Sensex and Nifty 50 Close Higher
The Indian stock market opened strong. Global cues were supportive. Early buying pushed indices sharply up.
But as the session progressed, gains narrowed.
- Sensex closed at 82,276.07
- Up 50 points
- Gain of 0.06%
- Nifty 50 closed at 25,482.50
- Up 58 points
- Gain of 0.23%
Intraday, it looked far stronger:
- Sensex surged as much as 732 points
- Nifty 50 reclaimed 25,652
Yet, by the end, profit booking in select heavyweights trimmed the rally.
This is the pattern we saw in today's Sensex and Nifty News — strength, then restraint.
Mid and Small Caps Outperform Again
While frontline indices cooled off, the broader market stayed firm.
- BSE 150 MidCap Index: Up 0.67%
- BSE 250 SmallCap Index: Up 0.48%
That outperformance made the real difference.
Investor wealth expanded sharply in just one session.
- BSE total market capitalisation rose to over ₹467 lakh crore
- Previous session: ₹465.6 lakh crore
- Wealth added: Over ₹1 lakh crore
Broader participation continues to dominate the current market mood reflected in the latest Sensex and Nifty News.
Heavyweights That Capped Gains
Not all large-caps supported the move.
Key drags on the Sensex included:
- Reliance Industries (down 2.12%)
- State Bank of India (down 1.90%)
- Bharti Airtel
- HDFC Bank
- ITC
These stocks absorbed early gains and limited headline index upside.
Stocks That Offered Support
On the other side, several stocks provided crucial stability.
Top contributors included:
Without these counters, today’s Sensex and Nifty News would have looked very different.
Top Gainers in Nifty 50
Out of 50 stocks, 34 ended higher.
The strongest performers:
- HCL Technologies – up 2.91%
- Bajaj Auto – up 2.73%
- Tata Steel – up 2.63%
Strength in IT, auto, and metals shaped the broader sentiment in the Sensex and Nifty News today.
Top Losers in Nifty 50
Not all sectors joined the rally.
Major laggards:
- Reliance Industries – down 2.12%
- State Bank of India – down 1.90%
- Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone – down 1.72%
Losses in these heavyweights kept overall gains modest.
Sectoral Performance: Metals Lead the Charge
Sector-wise action was more telling than the headline numbers.
Gainers:
- Nifty Metal: up 2.70%
- Nifty Auto: up 1.85%
- Nifty Pharma: up 1.85%
- Nifty IT: up 1.57%
Losers:
- Nifty PSU Bank: down 0.39%

- Nifty Realty: down 0.19%
- Nifty Oil and Gas: down 0.18%
Meanwhile, Nifty Bank edged marginally lower by 0.01%, closing at 61,043.35.
Sector rotation clearly defined today’s Sensex and Nifty News.
Most Active Stocks by Volume
High volumes indicate participation. And participation tells a story.
The most active counters on NSE:
- Vodafone Idea – 30.6 crore shares
- Tata Silver Exchange Traded Fund – 13 crore shares
- Eternal – 10.3 crore shares
Activity stayed concentrated in select pockets.
Advance-Decline Ratio: Slightly Negative Tilt
Despite indices closing higher, breadth told a different story.
- Over 2,000 stocks advanced
- More than 2,100 stocks declined on BSE
This subtle divergence defines the deeper layer in today's Sensex and Nifty News.
Stocks That Moved 15% or More
Volatility remained visible in specific counters.
Jumped over 15%:
- SecMark Consultancy
- Jindal Poly Films
Fell over 15%:
- Generic Engineering Construction
- R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems
- GTPL Hathway
Such sharp moves continue to define broader market choppiness.
52-Week Highs: 114 Stocks at Fresh Peaks
Momentum remained strong in select counters.
Among the 114 stocks that touched 52-week highs:
- NTPC
- Tata Steel
- Bajaj Auto
- Bank of Baroda
- Federal Bank
- Cummins India
- Indian Oil Corporation
- JSW Steel
- Lupin
- Shriram Finance
- TVS Motor Company
Fresh highs show momentum hasn’t disappeared.
52-Week Lows: 323 Stocks Under Pressure
At the same time, weakness existed underneath.
As many as 323 stocks hit fresh 52-week lows.
Notable names included:
- Suzlon Energy
- Indian Railway Finance Corporation
- Procter & Gamble Hygiene and Health Care
- Cyient
- Alkyl Amines Chemicals
This contrast defines the dual-tone in today's Sensex and Nifty News.
