Dalal Street Beats Monday Blues In Opening Bell, Sensex Over 86K, Nifty Tests 26,300

Indian share markets looked set for a favourable start to the trading week on Monday as investors prepared for the RBI’s upcoming Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting this week.

The BSE Sensex crossed 86k and started the session on a robust note, soaring over 300 points, while the NSE Nifty50 rang the opening bell around 26,300, jumping 82 points, around 9:15 AM. This sentiment could be attributed to the strong GDP data reported by India in its second quarter for the current 2025-26 fiscal year. 

In the pre-open session, both indices gave strong indications of a positive momentum in Dalal Street. Around 9:11 AM, the Sensex soared over 350 points, and the Nifty climbed more than 100 points.

With a packed line-up of domestic and global triggers, equity markets are expected to track a series of macroeconomic updates, central bank commentary, and foreign investor flows through the week, analysts said. 

The release of India’s industrial production data for October 2025 on December 1 will headline the economic calendar, according to an official statement issued on Friday. In addition, November’s automobile sales numbers due on Monday are set to shape early sentiment as investors gauge the strength of post-festive demand.
