Nifty50 above 26,150 as Sensex rises over 100 points at open
Indian equities opened green on the first trading day of 2026, with Nifty50 above 26,150 and the Sensex up over 100 points, signaling a positive start to the year.
India’s benchmark indices kicked off 2026 on a positive note as investors returned from holidays to a green tape on the first trading session of the year. The Nifty50 breached the 26,150 mark, while the BSE Sensex rose by more than 100 points, signaling renewed risk appetite after a quiet close of 2025.
Trading desks attributed the early strength to upbeat global cues and hopes of steady domestic economic momentum. Traders said the move was broad-based, with several sectoral indices contributing to the gains as buyers stepped in across large- and mid-cap names.
So far, the mood appeared constructive, but analysts cautioned that early moves could swing on regional markets and macro data due later in the week. Market watchers urged investors to maintain a diversified approach and avoid overexposure as liquidity and volatility remain factors.
With the new year underway, market participants will be watching key indicators and earnings from corporates to gauge whether the momentum can sustain beyond the initial optimism.
