The Indian stock market continues its strong upward trend. Earlier this week, the Sensex crossed the 80,000 mark once again, reaching its highest closing level so far in 2025. Along with the Nifty, this marks a big milestone for Indian investors.
In just the last seven trading sessions, investors saw their wealth grow by around ₹36.65 lakh crore, thanks to a sharp 8% rise in the Sensex. This recent rally has been driven mainly by strong performances from major IT companies and their positive outlook for the future.
