Indian benchmark indices staged a strong recovery in the fag-end session on Friday, supported by renewed optimism over the Bihar State Election 2025 outcome and selective buying across heavyweights. The 30-share BSE Sensex pack rebounded 533 points from its intraday low of 84,029 to close at 84,563. The broader Nifty50 index also reversed losses in the last half hour, gaining 31 points to end at 25,910. Advertisement

Analysts said the development supported hopes of policy continuity and a sustained capex cycle, helping offset weakness stemming from global markets.
