However, another stock that seems to have pulled up the Nifty price seems to be Reliance Industries Ltd. – with a gigantic market cap of ₹17.80 lakh crores, it has seen an increase of 3.53% since the beginning of trading hours. Other companies such as Hero Motocorp. (+2.26%), Asian Paints (+1.47%) as well as Wipro (+1.33%) and Tech Mahindra (+0.73%) have contributed to the appreciation of the index.
Since the Oil and Gas sectors have shown the most robust growth, it seems the recent discounted oil purchases from Russia have had a major positive impact on the Indian market sentiment.
While this is happening, the Sensex too has been increasing – it hit a high at ₹62,701.40. The S&P BSE Midcap has risen 0.61% so far while the S&P BSE Smallcap has risen 0.62% in the same time.
