Indian equity benchmarks traded with a modest positive bias on Thursday, supported by strong performance from the technology sector.
The Nifty 50 held firm above the 24,100 mark, while the BSE Sensex rose more than 200 points, according to market data.
HCL Technologies and Wipro emerged as key drivers of the rally, outperforming broader market trends.
The gains in IT shares helped offset pressure in the banking and financial services sectors, which remained underperforming during the session.
This sectoral divergence highlights a rotation in investor sentiment, with capital flowing into technology names while financials face headwinds.
The consolidation pattern suggests traders are cautious, favoring defensive or growth-oriented tech plays over cyclical financial bets.
