During the trading session of March 27, FIIs net bought shares worth Rs 31,784 crore and sold shares worth Rs 20,673 crore. DIIs purchased shares worth Rs 39,853 crore and sold shares worth Rs 37,335 crore.

After pausing in the previous session and snapping a seven-day winning streak, Nifty and Sensex resumed their uptrend on March 27, driven by strong buying in heavyweight financial stocks such as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Bajaj twins, Reliance Industries, and Larsen & Toubro. These gains helped offset losses in automakers, which came under pressure following US President Donald Trump’s 25 percent tariff on imported cars, raising concerns over trade policies.
Despite the weakness in auto stocks, the broader market remained resilient, with investors largely shrugging off tariff concerns. As a result, the Sensex closed 317.93 points, or 0.41 percent higher, at 77,606.43, while the Nifty ended with a gain of 105.10 points, or 0.45 percent, at 23,591.95. However, market breadth remained weak, with 1,640 shares advancing, 2,234 shares declining, and 80 shares unchanged.
The gains in the broader markets also witnessed strong buying, particularly in the smallcap space. The Nifty Midcap 100 gained 0.4 percent while the Nifty Smallcap 100 index outperformed the headline index, gaining 1.2 percent.
