Most sectoral indices closed higher, with Realty as the only sector to end in the red. The Nifty PSU Bank index was the top performer, gaining 1.52 per cent, driven by strong performances from Bank of India, Maharashtra Bank, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, Punjab and Sind Bank, and Union Bank of India. Other notable gainers included Nifty Oil & Gas, Private Banks, IT, and Energy, all of which rose over 1 per cent.

Meanwhile, the market’s fear gauge, the India VIX, edged up 0.43 per cent to close at 14.69, indicating a slight uptick in market volatility.
