A strong profit posted by a major software company boosted investor sentiment. This led to a surge in information technology stocks, with some shares gaining over 5%. The Nifty IT index also saw a significant increase, becoming the best-performing sectoral index.

The gains were notable despite existing concerns. Shares of several major companies, including Infosys, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra, were among the top gainers.
