Stock Market LIVE: Sensex Surges 800 Points as Nifty FMCG Extends Rally

Indian equity markets extended their upward momentum during trading, driven by strong market participation and positive sectoral performance. The benchmark BSE Sensex surged by approximately 800 points, reflecting a robust session for investors across major indices.

Accompanying the broader market gains, the Nifty FMCG index extended its winning streak into a second consecutive session, climbing 2 percent. Market observers noted that factors such as retreating crude oil prices and foreign institutional investor (FII) buying helped lift domestic sentiment despite regional headwinds.
