Indian equity markets closed higher on Monday, with the BSE Sensex jumping 521 points and the Nifty 50 finishing above the 24,430 level.
The broad-based advance was anchored by a sharp rally in HDFC Bank shares following the lender's strong quarterly business update.
Lower crude oil prices and easing geopolitical tensions also provided tailwinds for the session, supporting investor sentiment across major sectors.
The gains mark a continuation of the bullish momentum that characterized the previous trading week.
Indian equities had extended their winning streak on Friday, with the Sensex sustaining its position above the 78,000 mark and the Nifty 50 trading above 24,300.
That session was driven by renewed investor confidence and broad-based buying interest, setting a positive tone for the start of the new week.
