Other sectors also contributed positively with gains of +0.43%, +0.12%, and +0.05%. However, one sector experienced a decline of -0.42%, suggesting some pockets of weakness.

Among the Nifty 50 constituents, Interglobe Aviation Ltd. (INDIGO) emerged as the top gainer, rising +4.95% to ₹5207.2. Adani Enterprises Ltd. (ADANIENT) followed with a +3.60% gain, closing at ₹3069.7. Other significant gainers included Trent Ltd. (+3.31%), Tech Mahindra Ltd. (+3.25%), and Bajaj Finance Ltd. (+2.97%).

FII / DII Flows
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers on June 24, offloading equities worth -1843.4 crore. This marks the first consecutive selling session for FIIs. In contrast, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) provided strong support, recording net purchases of +3637.26 crore on the same day. This consistent DII buying has been a key factor in absorbing FII outflows over recent sessions.
What to Watch at 9:15
The market prepares for a potentially cautious open, with the Nifty Bank’s strong performance providing a positive anchor against the backdrop of FII selling pressure.
