Mumbai, February 16, 2026 – Indian benchmarks extended their rebound on Monday, with Nifty climbing 0.7% to 25,750 and Sensex up 0.8% to 84,000, fueled by strong Q3 earnings from manufacturing and energy sectors amid FII inflows (₹2,500 Cr net buy). At least 30 scrips hit upper price bands (mostly 20%), suspending sells as volumes swelled on institutional buying. This flips recent volatility, adding ₹200 Cr in value to leaders like Raclggear (up 19.99% to ₹1,441.60 on gear demand), Gkenergy (rising 5.00% to ₹116.61 amid energy buzz), and Hngsngbees (down -0.45% but hit band on ETF rally).
The uptick signals optimism in capex-heavy sectors, with mid-caps leading. Volumes rose 15%, advancers dominating 2:1. Analysts see momentum if PMI beats, targeting Nifty 26,000.
