Mumbai, Apr 1: Domestic stock markets opened sharply higher on Tuesday, tracking positive global cues amid hopes of de-escalation in the West Asia conflict.
The BSE Sensex surged over 1,800 points, or 2.52 per cent, to open at 73,762, while the Nifty 50 rose 567 points, or 2.54 per cent, to 22,899.
All sectoral indices traded in the green, led by strong gains in banking, auto, and IT stocks, reflecting broad-based buying interest.
The rally extended to broader markets as well, with mid-cap and small-cap indices climbing over 2–3 per cent, indicating strong investor sentiment.
The sharp rebound comes after benchmark indices had declined more than 10 per cent in March due to heightened geopolitical tensions, with the latest gains driven by optimism over easing global uncertainties.
