India's BSE Sensex closed about 0.3% up at 84,273.9 on Tuesday, the highest since early January, marking the third session of advances. Market sentiment was driven by the strong revival in foreign inflows and sustained optimism around the interim India-US trade agreement. Foreign investors bought Indian shares worth 22.55 billion rupees ($248.6 million) on Monday, bringing net purchases in February so far to $1.7 billion, following three consecutive months of selling. On the data front, domestic January inflation is due later this week, with inflation expected to rise to 2.4%, the highest in eight months, though still within the RBI’s 2%–6% target band. On equities, Eternal (+5.1%) and Tata Steel (2.8%) were the standout performers. Auto major Mahindra & Mahindra (+1.8%) followed closely, amid forecasts of a strong Q3 FY26 performance. On the other hand, HCL Tech (-2%), Bajaj Finance (-1.7%), Bharti Airtel (-1.3%), Adani Ports (-0.9%) and Asian Paints (-0.8%) saw the biggest losses.
