On 20 November 2025, Indian equity markets posted gains, with the S&P BSE Sensex climbing over 500 points and the NSE Nifty 50 rising 143 points to around 26,053, supported by strong performance in IT and banking stocks.

IT services firms, including Infosys, were among the top movers heading into the company’s large share-buyback announcement. The positive sentiment was underpinned by return of foreign institutional investment and improving global tech demand expectations.

For the IT sector, the rally may signal investor confidence in a rebound of digital-services demand, though risks remain from wage costs, offshore margins, and macro-headwinds globally. Analysts advise caution but note that valuations may be adjusting toward growth-orientation again.
