Indian equity markets staged a modest recovery on Thursday, with benchmark indices closing higher as investors rotated into information technology shares.

The Nifty 50 rose 0.2% to 24,125.10, while the BSE Sensex advanced 0.23% to 76,832.34.

The positive breadth in the session helped offset the sharp losses recorded in the previous trading day, signaling a stabilization in sentiment after recent volatility.

The rebound was primarily driven by a resurgence in the IT sector, which has been a key support for the broader market.

However, gains were capped by persistent geopolitical tensions that continue to weigh on risk appetite.

Investors also digested June-quarter earnings reports from major financial institutions, with mixed results tempering enthusiasm in the banking segment.
