Stock market close highlights, Wednesday, July 30, 2025: Today’s Q1 results pushed Indian equities higher. L&T, NTPC, and Asian Paints were among the top Sensex gainers following the release of profits for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Q1FY26).
Furthermore, uncertainty surrounding the India-US trade pact and the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision kept investors on the sidelines, limiting stock market gains.
At the close, the BSE Sensex was 81,481.86, up 143.9 points, or 0.18 percent. The NSE Nifty50 was up 34 points, or 0.14 percent, to 24,855.05.
Among others, L&T, Sun Pharma, NTPC, Maruti Suzuki, Bharti Airtel and Trent were the top gainers on Sensex. Conversely, Tata Motors, Bajaj Finserv, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Power Grid and HUL were top laggards.
In the broader markets, the Nifty MidCap and Nifty SmallCap indexes lost 0.07 percent and 0.52 percent, respectively.
Nifty IT gained 0.31 percent, Nifty Pharma 0.01 percent, and Nifty FMCG 0.24 percent. On the other hand, Nifty Realty (down 0.96%) and Nifty Auto (down 0.6%) declined the most.
Meanwhile, the India VIX, which reflects the market’s anticipation of volatility, closed 2.77% lower at 11.21.
