Mumbai, Oct 21 (NationPress) The Indian stock markets experienced a positive trend on Tuesday during the special Muhurat trading session, which celebrated Diwali 2025 and marked the onset of the new Hindu calendar year, Vikram Samvat 2082.
Recognized as a fortunate occasion, Muhurat trading is a well-established tradition symbolizing wealth and good luck for investors.
The Sensex concluded the day up by 62.97 points, or 0.07 percent, reaching 84,426.34, while the Nifty gained 25.45 points, or 0.10 percent, closing at 25,868.60.
“Despite lower trading volumes and some minor profit-taking, the index held strong above critical short-term support levels, reflecting robust underlying momentum and sustained investor trust,” analysts commented.
“From a technical perspective, the trend remains positive as long as the Nifty stays above 25,800, with 25,750 providing immediate support. Conversely, the key support range is between 25,600 and 25,500, while a significant breakout above 26,000–26,300 may lead to new all-time highs,” they added.
The Bank Nifty, however, saw a slight decrease of 26 points, or 0.04 percent, closing at 58,007.20. This continued the market's positive streak for the fifth straight session, buoyed by favorable global indicators.

In broader market movements, the NSE Midcap 100 index increased by 0.11 percent, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 index rose by 0.52 percent.
Sector performance was mixed, with Nifty Auto, IT, Metal, Pharma, Energy, and Oil & Gas sectors showing modest gains, while Nifty Bank, PSU Bank, and Realty indices recorded slight declines.
All major exchanges, including BSE, NSE, MCX, and NCDEX, participated in the special one-hour trading session, which featured block deals from 1:15 pm to 1:45 pm, followed by a pre-open session and the regular Muhurat trading from 1:45 pm to 2:45 pm.
