After having fallen for the past eight trading sessions, a relief rally came to the fore backed by factors like upsurge in banking stocks, positive global cues, and appreciation in rupee. Although the repo rate was unchanged, the RBI's governor's optimism with regards to softening inflation and upgrading the growth prospectus for FY26 boosted investors' sentiment.

The central bank's move to increase limits on lending against shares, reducing risk weights for NBFCs for infrastructure projects, and licensing of new UCBs provided a major fillip to the market and fuelled a rally in banking stocks.

Markets rebounded sharply on Wednesday, snapping an eight-session losing streak on the back of firm domestic cues. The benchmark index opened higher, supported by buying across large-cap counters, and scaled an intraday high near 24,867.95 before trimming some gains to finally settle at 24,836.30. Sectoral performance was broad-based, with financials and other rate-sensitive sectors leading the advance, followed by pharma, realty, and IT. The broader markets also participated in the recovery, as both midcap and smallcap indices gained over a percent each, underscoring improved risk appetite among investors.

The rebound was fueled by the Reserve Bank of India’s Monetary Policy Committee keeping the repo rate unchanged at 5.5%, in line with expectations, while signaling confidence in the domestic economic outlook. Additional support came from easing crude oil prices and sustained strength in global equities. Stability in the rupee against the US dollar and a decline in India VIX further reflected subsiding near-term volatility, encouraging incremental risk-taking.

That said, participants should avoid reading too much into a single-day rebound and wait for stability above 24,900 to confirm a sustained recovery, with immediate support now placed in the 24,600–24,700 zone.

For the next session, focus will remain on rate-sensitive sectors, particularly banking, financials, and auto, while metals and energy could also offer selective buying opportunities. Amid all, traders should avoid getting carried away and stick to a stock-specific approach.

After showing eight consecutive sessions of weakness, Nifty witnessed a sustainable bounce back on Wednesday and closed the day higher by 225 points. After opening with a positive note, the Nifty continued with upside for better part of the session. Intraday dips in between have been bought into and the market closed with the decent gains.

A long bull candle has been formed on the daily chart after the range bound action with weak bias of few sessions. This indicates a formation of short- term bottom reversal pattern in the market. Nifty has bounced back sharply from near the crucial support of around 24500-24400 levels (ascending trend line and 200day EMA). This is positive indication.

The larger degree higher tops and bottoms is in store as per daily and weekly timeframe chart and the recent swing low of 24587 could now be considered as a new higher bottom of the sequence.

The short-term trend of Nifty has reversed up firmly on Wednesday with the formation of near-term bottom reversal pattern. The next upside hurdles to be watched around 25000 mark and next 25200 in the next one week. Immediate support is placed at 24600 levels.

Abhinav Tiwari, Research Analyst at Bonanza

Today, the Indian markets closed positively, with the Sensex rising around 715.7 points and the Nifty advancing by 0.92%. The key reason for this upbeat close was the Reserve Bank of India's decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.50%, which was well received by investors as a sign of monetary policy stability amid moderated inflation and an improved economic outlook.

The RBI also introduced regulatory measures to ease lending norms, such as raising limits on loans against shares and IPO financing, along with better capital market financing frameworks. These measures boosted banking stocks, with private sector lenders like Kotak Mahindra Bank, ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank leading gains, as the sector is expected to benefit from improved credit availability and lower regulatory constraints.

The Bank Nifty jumped significantly, driven by optimism around enhanced lending capacities and reduced risk weights for infrastructure loans, which should boost NBFCs and banks' asset quality. The RBI’s emphasis on a neutral stance with room for future adjustments based on inflation and growth data reassured the markets. This cautious but constructive outlook, paired with international factors such as a stable rupee and positive global cues, underpinned broader market participation, including autos and realty sectors. We expect the RBI's future decisions on interest rates will depend on how the economy performs.

The RBI is focusing on ensuring credit growth while keeping inflation under control. If global risks reduce and domestic demand picks up, the RBI might cut rates in the future. Investors feel positive about this balanced approach, expecting steady economic growth and good opportunities in sectors like banking and finance, especially because of easier rules for banks. With the upcoming earnings reports and government reforms, the market is likely to stay positive in the near term

Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments

The Indian equity market posted a broad-based rally today, with the RBI’s policy decision broadly in line with expectations but accompanied by a more constructive tone than in June, which buoyed investor sentiment.

Its dovish stance, alongside an upward revision of India’s GDP growth forecast from 6.5% to 6.8%, reinforced confidence. Additional support came from five targeted measures to ease lending, including relaxed capital market exposure norms and enhanced infrastructure financing.

Gains were led by banking and consumer stocks, while autos advanced on the back of healthy sales. Overall, the rebound reflects improving sentiment and hints at early signs of a potential shift in market direction.

Vatsal Bhuva, Technical Analyst at LKP Securities

Nifty closed Wednesday’s session with a strong bullish candlestick after the RBI policy outcome and auto sales data, reclaiming levels above its 100-day EMA at 24,750, which earlier acted as resistance.

The index has also retraced 61% of the Fibonacci move between the September 1 low and September 18 high at 25,453.

On the derivative front, heavy put writing at 24,700–24,800 suggests a higher base, with maximum OI at 25,000.

Overall, sentiment has turned positive, with support at 24,700 and resistance at 25,000–25,100.

Sensex Today | Kirloskar Brothers bags contract from IOC

The company has received an order for supply of more than 14,000 pump sets from Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL).

Akhil Puri, Partner, Financial Advisory, Forvis Mazars India

The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) announcement of an unchanged REPO rate of 5.50% and an upgraded FY26 GDP growth forecast of 6.8% and lower inflation of 2.6%, indicates a policy proposition which is stable and supportive to facilitate the recovery of India's domestic demand.

The joint benefits of the recent reductions to the GST and the increased flow of credit to corporates and infrastructure is particularly beneficial to advance consumer spending and private sector investment.

Certain sectors such as automotive and consumer durables will be better positioned in terms of demand, while strong consumer confidence and increased access to credit will similarly benefit the housing and real estate sectors.

MSME's and manufacturing will benefit from increased liquidity and lower input costs as a consequence of these changes to the GST, while infrastructure sectors can also expect additional financial support for capital investment. Global uncertainty such as tariffs and geopolitical tensions will be absorbed by the RBI's financial stability, liquidity and demand-based approach to recovery, indicating a serious but balanced approach to advance development.

Anurag Mittal, Head of Fixed Income at UTI AMC

The RBI delivered the best hope for the bond market today. RBI acknowledged the considerable change of inflation expectations and emerging policy space to cut further.

We believe RBI can cut policy rates by 25-50 bps in the upcoming policies depending on growth inflation dynamics. Given the easy liquidity and possible of further rate cuts, we believe short to medium end of the yield curve remains best placed.

Parijat Agrawal, Head of Fixed Income at Union Asset Management Company

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) maintained status quo on rates and stance in line with the market expectation. Real GDP growth for this year has been revised upward to 6.8% from the earlier estimate of 6.5%. The inflation forecast for fiscal 2026 has been revised down to 2.6% from the previous 3.1%. This could augur well for the bonds market.

In our assessment, given the favourable growth inflation dynamics, the rate environment is expected to remain benign with possibility of further monetary support. There could be some volatility due to prevailing global uncertainties and tariff related developments. However, real yields are very attractive at this juncture. Hence, investors are advised to remain invested in light of the prevailing benign environment.

Mahendra Kumar Jajoo, CIO - Fixed Income, Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India)

While the MPC kept the policy rates unchanged, mention of opening of space for rate cuts in future provides optimism. While domestic macro seems to suggest a compelling case for further easing, global environment has become more complicated since the last policy, justifying a pause, even though the inflation projections have been revised downward and that of growth upward.

This policy review has many significant measures beyond rate adjustments like review of ECL framework, capital market exposure limits for banks, large borrower exposure norms etc., which will potentially have significant impact on ease of doing business in financial services sector and deepen lending and capital market businesses. In terms of the immediate impact, money market rates are expected to ease further while the long term rates are likely to remain range bound.

Ramakrishnan Ramamurthy, Chief Delivery and Operations Officer – India, Worldline

UPI’s performance in September 2025 reaffirms its position as the backbone of India’s digital payments ecosystem. Recording 19.63 billion transactions worth Rs 24.90 lakh crore, the platform witnessed robust year-on-year growth of 31% in transaction volume and 21% in value.

This sustained momentum highlights not only UPI’s deepening penetration across urban and rural India but also the increasing reliance of consumers and businesses on fast, secure, and low-cost digital payments. The consistent growth in both volume and value underscores UPI’s pivotal role in advancing financial inclusion, formalising the economy, and powering the country’s digital transformation.

Looking ahead, recent enhancements—such as increased transaction limits and the introduction of credit lines on UPI—are set to expand its reach into high-value payments and credit-driven use cases. These innovations are expected to further consolidate UPI’s dominance in the digital payments landscape and accelerate India’s shift towards a less-cash, tech-enabled financial future.
