Here are the biggest gainers and losers on a day the indices scaled new heights 

In a remarkable opening trade on Monday, India’s leading equity benchmark indices, BSE Sensex and Nifty50, surged to historic highs. This bullish trend follows exit polls predicting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s return for a third term, sparking optimism among investors. The BSE Sensex breached the 76,000 mark, while Nifty50 soared past 23,100, reflecting a robust market response. 

The exit polls, indicating a substantial victory for Modi’s ruling party in the general elections that concluded on Saturday, have significantly influenced market sentiment. As a result, India’s stock futures experienced a remarkable boost. The June contracts on the Nifty 50 Index, launched at the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City in July 2023, saw an unprecedented rise of nearly 3% in early trading on Monday. If these predictions hold true, it could lead to a notable surge in the stock prices of companies associated with Modi’s economic policies, often referred to as “Modi stocks.” 

Investor wealth saw a substantial increase, climbing by Rs 11.59 lakh crore to Rs 423.71 lakh crore, compared to Rs 412.12 lakh crore in the previous session on May 31. This significant growth was bolstered by the performance of all Sensex stocks, which were trading in the green. Notable gainers included PowerGrid, NTPC, L&T, SBI, Ultratech Cement, and M&M, each rising up early deals. 

Additionally, all 19 sectoral indices on the BSE were trading positively. Capital goods, banking, and auto shares led the gains on Dalal Street. The BSE capital goods, bankex, and auto indices rose by 3,171 points, 1,529 points, and 1,318 points, respectively. The IT, metal, and oil and gas sectors also showed significant growth. 

Foreign institutional investors contributed to the market rally by purchasing Rs 1,613.24 crore worth of equities on a net basis on Friday, while domestic investors added Rs 2,114.17 crore of shares. In the early morning session, approximately 205 stocks hit their upper circuit limits, demonstrating a strong market momentum, although 82 shares reached their lower circuit limits. 

This surge in market activity reflects the confidence investors have in the continuity of Modi’s economic policies, which are expected to drive further growth and development in India’s financial landscape.
