Market Opening Bell: Sensex, Nifty in green, HCL Tech gains post Q2 earnings
Sensex, Nifty Today: In early trade, 1,698 stocks in the Nifty pack were trading in the green, while 805 were trading in the red. Seventy stocks remained unchanged.
The Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, opened in the green on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, amid mixed global cues as there are signs that the US and China may hold trade talks later this months. While the 30-share BSE Sensex gained 77.49 points to start the session at 82,404.54, the Nifty added 50.2 points to open at 25,277.55. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 82,327.05 and the Nifty 50 at 25,227.35. Similarly, the broader indices traded in the green in the opening session. While the BSE Midcap was up by 99.73 points, or 0.22 per cent, in the early trading session, the BSE Smallcap gained 191.18 points, or 0.36 per cent, to trade at 53,338.56.
From the Sensex pack, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Tata Motors, Bharat Electronics and Reliance Industries were also among the gainers, with Tata Motors leading the pack by gaining 1.50 per cent in the early trade today. On the other hand, Maruti, Bajaj Finance, Axis Bank and Sun Pharma were among the laggards, with Bajaj Finance shedding 1.32 per cent in the opening trade.
"On the downside, 25,150/82,000 and 25,100/81,800 are key support levels, while 25,350-25,400/82,500-82,800 could serve as immediate resistance zones for the bulls. However, below 25,150/81,800, the market might retest levels of 25,000-24950/81,500-81300. Failing to surpass 25,330/82655 would be negative for the market," said Shrikant Chouhan, Head Equity Research, Kotak Securities.
In early trade, 1,698 stocks in the Nifty pack were trading in the green, while 805 were trading in the red. Seventy stocks remained unchanged.
