Sensex Rises 477 Points; Trading Resumes on NSE
Wed, 24 Feb Special Update

Share markets in India are presently trading on a positive note.

Nifty traded in the green at around 3:45 pm after trading resumed on the exchange.

Note that trading was halted on the NSE today due to technical glitch and market trading timing for both the exchanges - BSE and NSE - has been extended till 5 pm today.

At the time of writing, the BSE Sensex was trading up by 477 points. Meanwhile, the NSE Nifty was trading higher by 135 points.

Coal India and HDFC Bank are among the top gainers today.

GAIL, on the other hand, is among the top losers today.

Gains are largely seen in the banking sector and finance sector.

IT stocks, on the other hand, are witnessing selling pressure.

Shares of Tata Steel and NALCO hit their 52-week highs today.

Talking about Indian stock markets, Rahul Shah, co-head of Research at Equitymaster, in his latest video talks about how one should invest in the current times.

One of the biggest uncertainties in an uncertain world is a huge stock market crash.

Should one make an attempt to predict it or is there any other blueprint that an investor needs to follow?

Rahul discusses these points in the video below. Tune in to find out more:

In other news, the initial public offering (IPO) of agrochemical manufacturer Heranba Industries was subscribed 1.65 times at the time of writing.

The retail investors have put in bids 3.07 times against their reserved portion, while the portion set aside for non-institutional investors has been subscribed 55%, but the qualified institutional buyers have not put in their bids yet.

Tata Communications share price is in focus as the stock market regulator has granted an exemption to Pantone Finvest from complying with certain requirements of takeover norms with respect to the proposed direct acquisition in Tata Communications.

The exemption granted is subject to certain conditions and is limited to the requirements of making an open offer and pricing condition under the Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers (SAST) Regulations.

The order came after Pantone filed an application with Sebi seeking exemption from the applicability of certain provisions of SAST norms.

More details to follow in the upcoming commentary. Stay tuned!
