Sensex, Nifty, Share Price LIVE: India’s equity benchmarks are expected to open higher on Friday following a seven-month losing streak, as the Reserve Bank of India’s dovish pause and regulatory reforms boosted market sentiment. The Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex rose about 0.9% each in the previous session, led by gains in financials after the RBI eased rules on lending to capital markets and large corporates.
Analysts said that measures such as higher lending limits against shares and reduced risk weights for non-bank lenders in infrastructure projects lifted overall investor confidence.
Domestic institutional investors remained net buyers for the 27th consecutive session, with net inflows of ₹2,862 crore, while foreign institutional investors offloaded shares worth ₹1,545 crore.
Meanwhile, WeWork India’s ₹3,000-crore IPO, a pure offer-for-sale priced at ₹615–648 per share, will open for subscription today, targeting a valuation of ₹8,685 crore, adding further interest to the day’s trading.
