Indian equity benchmark indices, the Sensex and Nifty, started the session flat on Monday, November 10, 2025 amid positive global cues. While the 30-share BSE Sensex shed 18.08 points to start the session at 83,198.20, the Nifty added 11.2 points to open at 25,503.50. In the last trading session, the Sensex closed at 83,216.28 and the Nifty 50 at 25,492.30. However, the broader indices traded in the green in the opening session. While the BSE Midcap was up by 75.39 points, or 0.16 per cent, in the early trading session, the BSE Smallcap index gained 43.67 points or 0.08 per cent, to trade at 53,095.83. Meanwhile, the Lenskart IPO is scheduled to list on the bourses today.
From the Sensex pack, Infosys, Titan, TMPV, BEL, and Reliance were among the major gainers, with Infosys leading the pack by gaining around 1.11 per cent in the early trade today.

In early trade, 1,528 stocks in the Nifty pack were trading in the green, while 799 were trading in the red. One hundred twenty-one stocks remained unchanged.
"The Indian market opened on a mildly positive note, mirroring the cautious optimism across global equities amid reports that the U.S. Congress is close to reaching a deal to end the longest-ever government shutdown — a development that had withheld key economic data crucial for financial markets and policy decisions. Early trade sentiment is supported by buying interest in oil & gas, realty, metals, and pharma stocks, reflecting a modest return of risk appetite and a constructive undertone to start the week," said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money.

Gift Nifty, an early indicator for the Nifty 50, indicated a flat start as it opened with a fall of 2.5 points at 25,575.50, compared to the previous close of 25,590.50.
