Indian stock markets returned to trading after the Diwali Balipratipada holiday with another strong session on Wednesday. The Sensex gained more than 770 points, while the Nifty 50 crossed 25,250, extending the market’s recent upward momentum. Buying in banking, public-sector banks and automobile stocks supported the benchmarks, although both indices surrendered part of their intraday gains before the closing bell.
The BSE Sensex settled at 81,879.40, gaining 772.75 points or 0.95%. The Nifty 50 advanced 210.40 points, or 0.84%, to close at 25,255.05. Bank Nifty outperformed the frontline indices, climbing 1.76% to 60,792.40. Midcap and smallcap shares also finished higher, with the smallcap index recording the stronger percentage advance.
The session began on a positive note, with the Sensex opening at 82,248.68, up around 1.4%. The Nifty touched an intraday high of 25,424.35 before retreating towards the close. Falling crude oil prices and renewed buying interest supported sentiment, while IT and pharmaceutical stocks faced profit-booking.
Indian Stock Market Closing Indices, November 11, 2026
| Index | Closing level | Change |
|---|---|---|
| BSE Sensex | 81,879.40 | +772.75 points (+0.95%) |
| Nifty 50 | 25,255.05 | +210.40 points (+0.84%) |
| Nifty Bank | 60,792.40 | +1,051.15 points (+1.76%) |
| Nifty Midcap 100 | 61,519.10 | +496.55 points (+0.81%) |
| Nifty Smallcap 100 | 19,489.35 | +304.30 points (+1.59%) |
Banking stocks provided the strongest support among the major indices. Bank Nifty gained more than 1,050 points and finished above 60,790, outperforming both the Sensex and Nifty. The strength of public-sector lenders was particularly noticeable, with the PSU Bank index recording the day’s strongest sectoral advance.
The broader market also participated in the recovery. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.81%, while the Smallcap 100 rose 1.59%. The stronger smallcap performance suggested that buying interest extended beyond the largest companies, even as the benchmark indices gave up some of their intraday advances.
The Nifty’s intraday range was 25,095.35 to 25,424.35. Its closing level of 25,255.05 kept the index comfortably above the 25,150 to 25,200 zone, despite the late-session moderation.
Market Breadth
Market breadth remained firmly positive on Wednesday, with advancing stocks comfortably outnumbering declining shares. The improvement was consistent with the strength seen in midcap and smallcap stocks.
| Market breadth | Number of stocks |
|---|---|
| Advancing stocks | 2,495 |
| Declining stocks | 1,166 |
| Unchanged stocks | 106 |
| Nifty 50 gainers | 37 |
| Nifty 50 losers | 13 |
The advance-decline figures showed that buying was spread across a substantial portion of the market. More than twice as many stocks advanced as declined, while 37 of the Nifty 50 constituents finished in positive territory.
The stronger breadth also matched the performance of the smallcap index, which outpaced the frontline benchmarks. Although selling emerged in selected sectors, the overall market participation remained encouraging.

Top Nifty 50 Losers Today
Adani Ports was the weakest stock among the listed Nifty 50 laggards, declining 1.84% to ₹1,907.00. ICICI Bank and Tech Mahindra also finished lower, while HCL Technologies and Nestle India recorded smaller declines.
The weakness was concentrated in selected banking, technology and consumer stocks. ICICI Bank’s decline stood out because other major banking companies, particularly public-sector lenders, supported the wider market rally.
| Stock | Closing price | Loss |
|---|---|---|
| Adani Ports | ₹1,907.00 | -1.84% |
| ICICI Bank | ₹1,571.60 | -1.10% |

| HCL Technologies | — | -0.85% |
| Nestle India | — | -0.76% |
The contrast between ICICI Bank and the wider banking sector was notable. While Bank Nifty advanced strongly, individual stocks did not move uniformly. Technology shares also remained under pressure as investors booked profits after recent gains.

Wednesday’s Closing Picture: PSU Banks and Autos Lead as Crude Prices Ease
Public-sector banking stocks delivered the strongest sectoral performance on Wednesday. The Nifty PSU Bank index advanced 2.94%, followed by Nifty Auto, which gained 2.14%. FMCG and metal shares also finished higher, while realty, pharmaceutical and information technology stocks ended in negative territory.
The performance highlighted a shift towards domestic banking and automobile companies. Falling crude oil prices provided additional support to market sentiment, while the stronger rupee added to the positive currency-market backdrop.
| Market indicator | Closing performance |
|---|---|
| Nifty PSU Bank | +2.94% |
| Nifty Auto | +2.14% |
| Nifty FMCG | +1.13% |
| Nifty Metal | +0.96% |
| Nifty Realty | -0.42% |
| Nifty Pharma | -0.41% |
| Nifty IT | -0.53% |

| Nifty Oil & Gas | +1.03% |
| India VIX | 17.56 |
| Brent crude | Around $92 per barrel |

| Japan Nikkei 225 | +1.3% |
| South Korea Kospi | +2.4% |
| China Shanghai Composite | +0.6% |
| Hong Kong Hang Seng | -0.7% |
The decline in Brent crude towards $92 per barrel was an important feature of Wednesday’s trading. Lower oil prices eased some of the pressure associated with India’s energy imports and provided a supportive backdrop for domestic equities.
The rupee strengthened to ₹93.69 against the US dollar, gaining around 0.2% and reaching its strongest level since April. The currency’s improvement accompanied the positive movement in domestic equities.

Asian markets also finished mostly higher. South Korea’s Kospi gained 2.4%, Japan’s Nikkei advanced 1.3%, and China’s Shanghai Composite added 0.6%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng moved in the opposite direction, declining 0.7%.
Despite the positive performance across most major sectors, technology and pharmaceutical stocks faced profit-booking. Nifty IT fell 0.53%, while Nifty Pharma declined 0.41%. Realty stocks also ended lower, limiting the broader market’s gains.
Wednesday’s closing session left the Sensex above 81,800 and the Nifty comfortably beyond 25,250. Banking, automobiles and public-sector lenders provided the main support, while stronger participation in midcap and smallcap shares added depth to the advance.
The Nifty finished below its intraday high, but its close above the 25,150 to 25,200 zone kept the recent upward momentum intact. The combination of positive market breadth, lower crude prices and a stronger rupee made Wednesday a broadly constructive session for Indian equities.
