Indian equity markets traded higher on Tuesday, tracking a fragile global relief rally after U.S. President Donald Trump postponed a planned strike on Iran’s power infrastructure. The move eased fears of an immediate energy shock, lending support to risk assets.
At around 10:08 a.m. IST, the Nifty 50 rose 0.83% to 22,699.04, while the BSE Sensex gained 0.86% to 73,304.93. The broader market also participated in the upmove, with both mid-cap and small-cap indices advancing 0.8% each.
The Nifty 500 index mirrored the broader strength, rising 0.83%. The index opened at 21,045.45, touched a high of 21,059.20 and a low of 20,805.55 before trading around 20,836.65. Total traded volume stood at 816,737,982 shares, reflecting active participation despite recent volatility.
Among individual stocks,
BLS International Services emerged as the top gainer. The stock opened at ₹230 and surged to a high of ₹249.9, before trading at ₹243, up 9.58% from its previous close of ₹221.75. The rally was backed by strong volumes of 1,05,01,148 shares, indicating robust buying interest.
Alkyl Amines Chemicals also saw significant gains. The stock moved from an opening of ₹1,253.50 to a high of ₹1,348.30 and was last trading at ₹1,335, up 7.71% compared to its previous close of ₹1,239.40. However, volumes remained relatively muted at 98,448 shares.
JBMA (JBM Auto) continued the positive trend, rising 6.94%. The stock opened at ₹560, touched a high of ₹603.55 and was trading at ₹578.25 against a previous close of ₹540.7. It also witnessed strong participation with volumes of 1,09,99,356 shares.
On the losing side,

Finolex Industries also remained under pressure, slipping 4.55%. The stock opened at ₹170, hit a high of ₹171 and a low of ₹159.87 before trading at ₹160.52 compared to its previous close of ₹168.17. Total traded volume stood at 583,528 shares.
Chennai Petroleum Corporation declined 4.16%, trading at ₹962.8 against its previous close of ₹1,004.55. The stock opened at ₹1,032, touched a high of ₹1,035, and a low of ₹955. Volumes were recorded at 13,861,780 shares.
All 11 major sectoral indices traded in positive territory, indicating broad-based buying across sectors. However, the recovery comes after a sharp correction and is largely sentiment-driven.
While the pause in geopolitical escalation has provided temporary relief, key risks remain intact, including high crude prices, currency pressure, and continued FII outflows. As a result, market participants are likely to remain cautious, with volatility expected to persist in the near term.
