The Indian stock market benchmarks — the Sensex and the Nifty 50 — extended their gains for the second consecutive session on Wednesday, July 30, led by Larsen & Toubro (L&T), whose shares surged nearly 5 per cent after better-than-expected Q1 results.
However, mixed global cues, caution ahead of the US Fed policy outcome due later today, and persistent uncertainty over US tariffs as the August 1 deadline nears kept gains in check.
The Sensex ended 141 points, or 0.17 per cent, higher at 81,478.74, while the Nifty 50 settled at 24,846.95, up 26 points, or 0.10 per cent. The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices rose 0.17 per cent each.
