Mumbai: Benchmark indices snapped a three-day losing streak on Monday, April 27, 2026, with the Sensex and Nifty opening sharply higher on the back of a rally in Sun Pharma and strength across global equity markets.
The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 546.64 points to 77,210.85 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty climbed 169.55 points to 24,067.50, reclaiming the 24,000 mark.
The rebound was led by heavyweight Sun Pharma following news of its $11.75 billion acquisition of U.S. firm Organon, which lifted sentiment in pharma stocks. Positive cues from global markets also supported buying across sectors after recent declines.
Investors turned risk-on after three sessions of losses, with broad-based gains pushing both indices higher in the first hour of trade. The uptick comes amid cautious optimism on global trends and domestic corporate developments.
