Sensex Gains 119 Points at Open, Nifty Crosses 25,100; Tata Motors Rises 1%

Indian benchmark indices opened higher on Tuesday, with Sensex rising 176.33 points to 82,429.79 and Nifty up 63.50 points to 25,145.80, driven by gains in auto and energy stocks. Top gainers included BEL, Bharti Airtel, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Sun Pharma, and Tata Motors. HCLTech and Tata Steel were among the losers. Sectoral indices like Nifty Media, Auto, and Oil & Gas showed positive momentum. Dr. VK Vijayakumar noted FIIs turned net sellers in July, pressuring largecaps. Falling CPI inflation to 2.1% in June has raised hopes of an RBI rate cut, possibly aiding market recovery through short covering.
