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 textile 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 Apar Industries (up 18.69% to ₹9,688 on electrical demand), Balkrishna Industries (rising 10.40% to ₹2,532.40 amid tire export buzz), and Avanti Feeds (up 19.71% to ₹957.70 on aqua feed 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.
