PSU Banks, realty also shine; broader markets outperform benchmarks
Indian benchmark indices closed sharply higher on Friday, with the Sensex jumping 828 points to 77,569.39 and the Nifty50 settling above 24,200. The rally was driven largely by IT stocks after TCS beat Street estimates in its Q1FY27 results, reporting a 4.6% rise in net profit to ₹13,349 crore and nearly 14% revenue growth.
