Mumbai, February 10, 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 engineering and auto sectors amid FII inflows (₹2,500 Cr net buy). At least 50 scrips hit upper price bands (mostly 20%), suspending sells as volumes swelled on institutional buying. This flips recent volatility, adding ₹2,500 Cr in value to leaders like Isgec (up 17.72% to ₹928.30 on infra demand), Lumaxind (rising 20% to ₹6,136.30 amid auto ancillaries buzz), and Smlmah (up 10% to ₹4,330.70 on manufacturing growth).
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.
