Bulls Charge Ahead: Investors reap over ₹1 L cr as Sensex, Nifty hit new highs

The 30-share BSE Sensex rose 141 points to settle at 77,479. The broader NSE Nifty gained 51 points to end at 23,567. From the Sensex pack, JSW Steel, Tata Steel, ICICI Bank, Reliance Industries, and Kotak Mahindra Bank emerged as the top gainers, each rising over 1%. Conversely, Sun Pharma, M&M, NTPC, SBI, and Wipro were the top laggards. The Nifty Pharma index fell by 0.5%, primarily due to a 2.2% drop in heavyweight Sun Pharma's shares after its Dadra facility received a warning letter from the US drug regulator.
