Sensex Jumps 1,310 Points, Investors Rejoice with ₹7.85 Lakh Cr Gain.
Mumbai, April 11, 2025 — In a dramatic rally, the BSE Sensex surged by 1,310 points on Thursday, leading to a market capitalization boost of over ₹7.85 lakh crore. The rally was driven by positive global cues, cooling inflation data, and renewed foreign investment, triggering a wave of optimism across Dalal Street.
The benchmark index closed at 75,345.28, gaining 1.77% in a single session — its biggest single-day gain in months. The Nifty 50 also climbed 385 points, closing at 22,915.60, fueled by strong performances in IT, banking, and auto stocks.
Key Drivers Behind the Rally (Sensex Soars)
1. Global Market Support
A strong rebound in the US and Asian stock markets provided a crucial tailwind. US inflation data came in slightly below expectations, suggesting a possible pause in Fed rate hikes, which boosted sentiment globally.
2. Cooling Domestic Inflation
India’s retail inflation eased to 4.6% in March 2025, down from 5.1% in February. This triggered speculation that the RBI may hold interest rates, further lifting investor confidence.
3. Foreign Institutional Buying
FIIs turned net buyers with inflows of ₹3,850 crore on Thursday, as per data from the NSE. This marks the third consecutive session of positive foreign investment, especially in large-cap and tech stocks.
