* Nifty IT and consumer durables were the only sectoral indices in the green.

The IT index surged up to 4% after the Union Budget 2026 proposed taxing share buyback proceeds as capital gains, benefiting IT majors like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro. This change addresses investor concerns and offers a tax-efficient way to reward shareholders.

* IT index rose 4% after buyback tax changes in Union Budget 2026.
* Buyback proceeds taxed as capital gains, benefiting IT majors TCS and Wipro.
* Nifty IT and consumer durables were the only sectoral indices in the green.

The IT index recovered sharply on February 1, rising up to 4 percent from the day’s low after the Union Budget 2026 proposed changes to the taxation of share buybacks.

Nifty IT and consumer durables were the only sectoral indices trading in the green among the 16 major sectors, while the broader market remained under pressure. The benchmark Nifty slipped over 1 percent.

The rebound in IT shares came after the Finance Minister announced that proceeds from share buybacks would be taxed as capital gains instead of being treated as income. In recent years, IT companies have been among the largest users of buybacks to return cash to shareholders.

Shares of <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/wipro/W">Wipro</a> rose as much as 3.6 percent, while <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/computers-software/tataconsultancyservices/TCS">Tata Consultancy Services</a> advanced up to 3 percent, emerging as the top gainers in the IT pack.

"This change is a big positive for Indian IT majors like TCS, Infosys and Wipro because it brings back a tax-efficient way to reward shareholders. These cash-rich companies have long relied on buybacks to return surplus capital," Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at WealthMills Securities, said.

The Nifty IT index was flat in January, while the benchmark Nifty declined 3.1 percent during the same period.

"At the margin, another positive for investors is the change in buyback taxation, where gains for minority shareholders will now be treated more like capital gains rather than regular income. This addresses a long-standing investor concern and is incrementally market-friendly," said N ArunaGiri, CEO of TrustLine Holdings.

Under the proposal, <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/capital-gains-tax-on-buybacks-budget-adds-extra-levy-on-promoters-to-curb-misuse-13803262.html" target="_blank">buyback proceeds will be taxed as capital gains</a> for all shareholders, ensuring that tax is levied only on the actual economic gain. The move aligns the taxation of buybacks with that of regular share sales and removes the anomaly faced by non-promoter investors.

Shares of digital payments companies rose after the government announced a Rs 2,000 crore incentive scheme for Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and RuPay debit card transactions in the Union Budget 2026.

Shares of One97 Communications Ltd, the parent company of Paytm, surged as much as 5 percent, while One Mobikwik Systems Ltd climbed 4 percent in intraday trade.

The proposed allocation is close to the Rs 2,196 crore subsidy the government is expected to spend in FY25–26, as per revised budget estimates. However, the amount is significantly lower than the industry’s expectation of around Rs 4,500 crore.

Budget documents showed that the actual subsidy outgo for FY24–25 stood at Rs 1,923 crore. The subsidy bill has remained largely unchanged even as the digital payments ecosystem recorded nearly 70 percent growth in transaction volumes.

According to payment companies, the platform requires around Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000 crore in annual subsidies to support investments in digital infrastructure, ensure seamless payment processing and expand into newer segments.

UPI transactions have continued to scale new highs in both volume and value, with annual growth of around 30 percent. In January, UPI transaction volumes crossed 21 billion, while transaction value exceeded Rs 28 lakh crore.

* Major defence firms like BDL, GRSE, and Paras Defence saw double-digit declines

The shares of defence companies tumbled in trade on February 1 as Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s capex plans for the sector failed to meet analysts and industry’s expectations.

The <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/indian-indices/nifty-india-defence-139.html">Nifty Defence index</a> crashed nearly 9 percent to 7,458.65, amid a sharp selloff in the overall market in the afternoon trading hours of Sunday.
<h3><strong>What Nirmala Sitharaman said about defence capex:</strong></h3>
While presenting Budget 2026, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman pegged FY27 defence expenditure at Rs 5.94 lakh crore, up from Rs 5.68 lakh crore in FY26. Defence capital expenditure has increased 21 percent year-on-year, with the allocation for defence modernisation seeing a sharper 24 percent rise over last year.

Investors had expected a strong jump in defence budget, especially as an aftermath to Operation Sindoor which the Indian military forces conducted over targeted military outfits in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir last year.

<h3><strong>What experts say:</strong></h3>
Beyond immediate security needs, capital-led defence spending has a powerful economic multiplier—supporting indigenous manufacturing, technology development and skilled employment, said Varun Gupta, CEO, Groww Mutual Fund.

"A sustained shift towards domestically sourced defence capital can strengthen India’s strategic autonomy while creating durable growth opportunities across the broader industrial ecosystem," he said.

“Budget 2026 lays down an ambitious roadmap for India’s manufacturing sector, anchored by a record ₹12.2 trillion infrastructure capex and a clear strategy to expand manufacturing’s share of GDP. The enhanced focus on structural reforms, revitalising legacy industries and scaling advanced sectors signals a shift from incremental support to broad-based capacity building and competitiveness," said Jaikaran Chandock, Director, Balu Forge Industries.

He added that the allocation of Rs 5.95 lakh crore to the defence sector for defence research, land systems and equipment further strengthens the manufacturing outlook, particularly for precision engineering and high-value domestic production.
