Indian Stock Market Today: The Indian stock market showed some strength in the week ending 25 April 2025. The Nifty 50 index rose by 0.8%, closing at 24,039.35, while the Bank Nifty climbed 0.6% to 54,664.05. Among the sectors, IT, Auto, Realty, and Pharma performed well, but FMCG stocks were under pressure. Broader indices also moved up between 0.8% and 1.7%.
Experts suggest that if the Nifty 50 remains below 24,100, a further correction could push it down to 23,800 or even 23,700. However, if Nifty crosses 24,100, it could trigger a fresh rally towards 24,400 or 24,500. For the Bank Nifty, the critical level to watch is 55,000, according to technical experts.
This week marks the start of a new month and is also a holiday-shortened week. Investors will keep an eye on important economic data like the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and the HSBC Manufacturing PMI. Monthly auto sales numbers will also be watched closely.
Another key point is the growing tension between India and Pakistan, which could create market volatility. Investors are advised to be cautious. Meanwhile, major companies such as BPCL, IOC, Kotak Mahindra Bank, SBI, Bajaj Finance, TVS Motor, and UltraTech Cement will announce their quarterly results this week. Global updates on tariffs and trade policies may also impact sentiment.
Research experts say that any developments in India-Pakistan relations could make the Indian market more volatile in the short term. Still, company-specific and sector-specific actions will likely continue based on earnings announcements.
