Frontline indices, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, ended higher on Wednesday, February 25, tracking positive global cues. However, losses in shares of select heavyweights, such as Reliance and SBI, capped gains.
The Sensex finished at 82,276.07, up 50 points, or 0.06%, while the Nifty 50 closed 58 points, or 0.23%, higher at 25,482.50.
The mid and small-cap segments, on the other hand, ended with decent gains. The BSE 150 MidCap Index rose by 0.67%, while the BSE 250 SmallCap Index climbed 0.48%.
Thanks to gains in the mid and small-cap segments, investors’ wealth rose by more than ₹1 lakh crore in a single session as the cumulative market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms rose to over ₹467 lakh crore from ₹465.6 lakh crore in the previous session.
