Indian Stocks Surge 1%+ on Strong Industrial Output & Rupee

Indian equity indices recorded solid gains in late morning deals, trading over one percent higher. This surge pushed the Sensex above 77,600 and the Nifty past 24,200, driven by expanded market positions.

The market sentiment remained upbeat following India’s industrial production growth of 7.3% in June 2026, marking its fastest expansion in nearly two years. A strengthening Indian rupee also supported sentiment, appreciating 10 paise to 95.72 per dollar.

Strong buying activity was observed across several major counters, including Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, Tata Steel, Larsen & Toubro, and TCS.
