The Indian stock market benchmarks, the Sensex and the Nifty 50, ended lacklustre on Thursday, February 26, due to profit booking in select heavyweights, including HDFC Bank and Axis Bank, amid mixed global cues.
The Sensex ended 27 points, or 0.03%, lower at 82,248.61, while the Nifty 50 inched up by 14 points, or 0.06%, to settle at 25,496.55.
The mid and small-cap segments ended with gains; the BSE 150 MidCap Index clocked a decent gain of 0.55%, while the BSE 250 SmallCap Index rose by 0.07%.
The overall market capitalisation of BSE-listed firms increased to ₹468 lakh crore from ₹467 lakh crore in the previous session, making investors richer by about ₹1 lakh crore in a single session.
