Indian equity benchmark -- Nifty -- ended higher on Friday. Index made a cautious start and continued its trade in red terrain amid mixed global cues. Soon, index trimmed most of its losses and started wavering near neutral line. Traders took some support of government data showing that total Gross Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections jumped 9.1% to Rs 1.89 lakh core in the month of September 2025 as compared to Rs 1,73,240 crore in the same month a year ago. Further, market participants took a note of S&P Global Ratings new report indicating that India poised to become the next major player in the global petrochemicals industry, backed by a planned capital expenditure of $37 billion aimed at boosting self-sufficiency. However, in afternoon session, index continued its narrow range trade near neutral line. But, in last hour of the trade, index gained traction and managed to end the session in green. Finally, index closed above 24,850 mark.
Most of the sectorial indices ended in green except Realty and Auto stocks. The top gainers from the F&O segment were Kalyan Jewellers India, Indian Bank and Vodafone Idea. On the other hand, the top losers were Max Healthcare Institute, Sammaan Capital and Lodha Developers. In the index option segment, maximum OI continues to be seen in the 25400 - 25600 calls and 24900 - 25100 puts indicating this is the trading range expectation.
