Sensex gains 1.54%, Nifty rises 1.60% in Oct. 13 session

India’s Sensex closed on Oct. 13 at 73,033.78, gaining 1,109.10 points, or 1.54%. The Nifty rose 358.60 points, or 1.60%, to 22,721.95.

The Hindu and ET Now reported the session’s closing figures. The advance followed the previous day’s decline, when the Sensex ended at 71,924.68 and the Nifty at 22,363.35.

Technology companies were among the gainers. HCL Tech rose 8.28%, Tata Consultancy Services 6.59%, Tech Mahindra 4.90% and Infosys 4.44%, according to The Hindu.

HCL Tech had reported a 21.18% rise in quarterly consolidated net profit to 5,132 crore rupees. The figures cover July-September of fiscal year 2026-27.

Geojit Investments analyst Vinod Nair linked the market’s advance to technology earnings, rupee stability and easing bond yields. That is an analyst’s interpretation rather than a separately measured cause of each index move.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said she would listen to debate about long-term capital gains tax and securities transaction tax. Her remarks did not announce an adopted tax reduction.
