New Delhi, August 20, 2025 — After a shaky start, the Indian stock market rebounded sharply on Wednesday. The BSE Sensex rallied over 100 points, while the Nifty surged past the psychological 25,000 mark, fueled by robust gains in IT stocks. Financials, however, dragged initially, as weakness in banking weighed on the early trade amid global uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium.
Meanwhile, broader benchmarks held firm, with the Nifty ticking up by 0.05% to 24,994.5 and the Sensex rising marginally by 0.08% to 81,709.16, buoyed by sustained optimism from GST reform hopes and an improved sovereign outlook.
Amid this volatility, the Nifty IT index stands out — having dropped 32% since its December high, experts now see it as a potential buying opportunity. They suggest value-minded, long-term investors may benefit by selectively adding to strong IT names.
