The Indian stock market opened the week on a strong note today, September 1, 2025, with both benchmark indices moving sharply higher. Positive domestic economic data and encouraging global trade developments lifted investor sentiment across sectors.
Sensex and Nifty Surge
The BSE Sensex gained over 300 points, while the NSE Nifty crossed the 24,500 mark in early trade. Heavyweights like Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Bajaj Finance, and Adani Ports were among the top performers, providing strong support to the rally.
Sectoral Performance
The Nifty IT Index led the charge, climbing nearly 1.5% as tech stocks attracted fresh buying. Consumer-focused sectors also witnessed healthy gains, while banking and financial counters traded firm, reflecting broad-based market strength.
Economic Boost from GDP Data
Investor confidence was buoyed by India’s Q1 GDP growth of 7.8%, surpassing expectations and reinforcing optimism about the country’s economic resilience. The data indicates steady domestic demand and strong investment activity, both of which are likely to sustain momentum in the coming quarters.
Global Trade Relief
Adding to the upbeat mood was news from the United States, where a court ruling declared most of former President Trump’s tariffs illegal. While the duties remain in place until mid-October, the development eased global trade concerns and provided relief for emerging markets like India.
IPO Action: Anondita Medicare Debuts
On the primary market front, Anondita Medicare made its debut on the NSE SME platform today. Backed by strong demand and a 60% grey market premium, the listing is being closely watched as an indicator of investor appetite in the healthcare sector.
Investor Alert: Online Scam Warning
While market sentiment was largely positive, authorities issued a cautionary note after an investor in Indore was duped of ₹54 lakh through a fraudulent online investment platform. The police were able to recover around ₹11.65 lakh, but the case highlighted the risks of unverified trading portals.
Market Outlook
Analysts believe the combination of robust domestic growth and easing global trade tensions could keep markets on an upward trajectory in the short term. However, they also advise caution ahead of key global central bank decisions and the October deadline for U.S. tariff clarity.
