Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Indian stock markets saw modest gains on Tuesday, with the BSE Sensex up 132.77 points at 83,121.55, and the NSE Nifty50 rising 44.05 points to 25,427.80 by early afternoon trading. Gains were tempered by caution ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate decision on Wednesday. Former New York Fed President William Dudley’s call for a half-point cut fueled expectations of an aggressive move. Hero MotoCorp led the gainers, rising 2.95%, followed by Bajaj Auto, Britannia, and Bharti Airtel. However, Tata Motors led the losers, declining by 2.45%. Mixed sentiment prevailed in broader markets, with more declining than advancing stocks. Technology stocks saw positive interest, particularly following Infosys’ encouraging results. Investors remain focused on global cues, particularly the Fed’s decision, which could set the tone for market performance in the coming days.
