Indian shares end slightly higher as IT and metal stocks recover from previous losses
Indian shares edged up on Wednesday as IT and metal stocks recovered. Gains were limited by a drop in Reliance and state banks amid persistent AI concerns.
Insights:
Indian equity benchmarks closed marginally higher on Feb. 25, 2026, as a recovery in technology shares and a rally in the metals sector helped the market recoup some ground. The Nifty 50 and the BSE Sensex ended the day with slight gains, following a session where the indices had dropped by more than 1%. This turnaround was supported by a partial rebound in IT stocks, which offset continued weakness in Reliance Industries and state-owned banks.
