NEW DELHI, Nov 12: The BSE Sensex surged by 773 points, finishing at 82,013.58, while the NSE Nifty closed at 25,255 on Thursday, November 12, 2026. The rally was driven by gains in public sector banks and strong foreign institutional investments.
In early trading, the Sensex and Nifty both increased significantly, with the Sensex up by 166.44 points to 82,013.58 and the Nifty up 55.65 points to 25,316.55. Major contributors included Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Finserv, and ITC, while Mahindra & Mahindra and Hindustan Unilever performed poorly.
Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) showed strong buying behavior, purchasing equities worth ₹12,563.33 crore the previous day, fueling market optimism. V.K. Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said, “Impressive earnings growth… and macro relief from lower crude prices will support the rally.”
The Nifty has gained 9.55% so far in November, with FIIs investing ₹65,735 crore in Indian equities since the month began. Brent crude oil prices currently stand at $91.75 per barrel, down 1.12%, which is seen as a positive factor for the market.
While Indian benchmarks performed strongly, Asian markets showed mixed results. South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng were lower, while Shanghai’s SSE Composite index gained.
U.S. markets closed positively the prior day; the Nasdaq Composite rose by 1.60%, the S&P 500 was up by 1.31%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.49%. The performance of international markets may influence investor sentiment in the coming days.
