Indian Markets Rally on Economic Survey Optimism
On 29 January 2026, the Indian stock market had a good day.
The Sensex and Nifty went up because the Economic Survey said the country's economy will grow a lot next year.
The survey also said the government is doing a good job with money, which made people feel better about investing.
Some companies like Tata Steel and L&T did really well, while others like Asian Paints and Maruti didn't do as good.
People from other countries also started buying stocks in India again.
The survey talked about how the economy is strong, with lots of people buying things and companies investing in new projects.
It also said prices for stuff aren't going up too fast, which is good.
The government is also spending more money on important things like building roads and schools.
All this good news made the stock market go up.
Sensex and Nifty closed higher, with Sensex gaining 221.69 points and Nifty rising 76.15 points.
Economic Survey 2025-26 projected GDP growth of 6.8-7.2% for FY27, boosting market sentiment.
Top gainers included Tata Steel (4.41%), L&T (3.66%), and Axis Bank (3.45%).
Sectoral gains were led by Metal (2.69%) and Power (2.18%) indices.
Foreign and domestic institutional investors turned net buyers, with FIIs buying Rs 480.26 crore and DIIs buying Rs 3,360.59 crore worth of equities.
