Defying geopolitical headwinds from West Asia, Indian equities bounced back decisively on Wednesday. The BSE Sensex rocketed 609.45 points (0.79%) to close at 77,496.36, recovering from Tuesday’s losses. NSE’s Nifty 50 advanced 181.95 points (0.76%) to 24,177.65.

Nifty 50 gainers included ITC, Tech Mahindra, and Coal India, while laggards were led by Indigo and Dr. Reddy’s.
